WEEK TWO - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Congratulations on not losing your head this weekend!

Ooh...too soon? Hm. Lighten up a little, gosh! Satan's grace has shined upon you and you have more opportunities to show just why you deserve an invite to the house party.

For those of you who slept in the dorm last night, when you make your way downstairs to head off for the day you'll be greeted with a new message on the white board in the common room.

Five Weeks and Four Days Until Satan's House Party!!

The countdown continues...

But out the door you go for another busy week. At the dock, there's a ferry happily floating on the lava and waiting for you to climb aboard. While there are still several islands in your line of vision you can't quite see, it seems as though the ferry can now shuttle you between the college island, Hallow's Hollow, and a new location called Subnutica. Yeah. You heard us.

The nice thing is that your emotions seem to be in tact again. You feel a little recalibrated. You find that you're no longer struggling to understand why you're feeling the way you feel, but something still feels...off. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly it is, but it's as though a part of you is missing. Maybe eventually you'll discover that your sense of direction has disappeared. Or you've lost your ability to empathize with others (if you even had that to begin with). And even moreso, some of you may discover you've lost even more important things, such as your eyesight or your sense of touch. Various losses will persist throughout the whole week, but on occasion you may find you've regained what you initially lost and have lost something else instead.

It almost seems as though it's simply meant to be an annoyance.

And speaking of annoyances? Don't forget to check out what's new on Bicker. You can always contact each other via public Beeks or by sliding into their DMs.

Likewise, you'll find that your personal demons' accounts are live and active and despite what some of them may say, their DMs are also open.

Enjoy yourselves!

Good morning everybody, and welcome to your week one mingle! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is loss! This one is a little more open-ended for you guys to play with! This can be anything from loss of senses, loss of certain emotions, loss of skills, loss of memories, loss of your mind, etc. If you're not sure, please feel free to ask! You do not have to stick with the same loss for the whole week! You can change it up as you see fit and/or for rule of funny.

-Audiences for the personal demons are now open! Please submit all requests under the correct weekly header.

-Please submit all PC submissions under the correct weekly header.

-The Bicker poll is public! All replies will be public, and players may also post their own Beeks in their toplevels that will be considered public. You are free to reply directly to the appropriate toplevels, or you may create Beeks in your own toplevels with other prompts. Be free.

[ so he'd managed to get a boat at least partially out onto the lava before reality catches up and realizes that there's no way Itto would be able to construct a Lava Seaworthy Vessel on his own, and it has started to just.

drift apart. he's climbing higher on the wreckage as it starts to sink, touching a toe to the lava and then CLEARLY STARTING TO PANIC as it sizzles. ]

Hey! Let me onto yours! Hurry up, hurry hurry!

[ never let go jack ]

[outsidebones]

[starts kicking him off her boat with a shoe.]

You're creating drag.

[firstandgreatest]

[ GRABBING HER LEG. ]

Never leave a man behind! That's the law of the Oni!

[outsidebones]

I am not an oni. Unhand me!

[harrow is uninhibited today so she is going to throw a molotov cocktail at him sorry about it.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ WHAT IF HE DIES HERE ]

[firstandgreatest]

[ he dodges it, but he's doing so by yanking back extremely quickly - and definitely not letting go of her ankle. ]

[firstandgreatest]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

[outsidebones]

[well he can definitely drag her out of her boat by doing this.]

[cavaliered]

[well, her first one exploded.

but she is nothing if not stubborn, so she's on a plank of wood, with little floaties attached.]

-- Oh, shit! [and instinctively reaches for him to help him up? but listen. this is a titanic situation. there is not enough room for both of them on this floating door.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ HE'S DRAGGED part way up ... before the plank of wood starts to tilt to the side. Itto starts trying to scramble UP gideon which isn't going to help this situation. ]

You're pyro, right?! Ain't you got resistance to this stuff?

[cavaliered]

Am I what? No! I'm not resistant to this stuff! Owfuck --

[he's like halfway up the side of her and the wood is starting to tilt horribly. she's strong though! she can hold him up. right? that won't change in the next few minutes.]

[firstandgreatest]

Shh, shh -- Stand very, very still.

[ they are balanced right now like one of those tiktoks where the guy is like. balancing a chair on a single fork. it's working ... ! it's working! ]

1/2

[cavaliered]

[it's working! how is it working!]

2/2

[cavaliered]

[boy this would be a shitty time for her leg bones to lose function, huh]

[greatvalue]

[HE CONSIDERS THIS... and then throws him a rope to help him out

except

he accidentally throws it too far because he suddenly forgot how to aim so the rope just. flies out of the boat completely and lands in the lava in front of itto. goodbye.]

[firstandgreatest]

[ you know what




he gives a thumbs up. ]

You're tryin', man! You're trying!

[greatvalue]

[helpppp thank you for the encouragement, itto... he pinches the bridge of his nose.]

How did I— Never mind. Here, grab this!

[okay take two

he holds out an oar? all is fine and normal. for now.]
