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.

[refate]

[ what in the fuck is happening. who are these people??

but also - ] Lavi!? Tuuri!?

[ just. deposits yoru down out of the way and sloshes his way into the water to also assist in dragging them back to shore, please still be alive, and these strangers who could they be whERE COULD THEY HAVE COME FROM. A MYSTERY. ]

[bookpapers]

[HE'S DRAGGED OUT!!! i wish everyone would let lavi DROWN!! WOW!!!

anyway now that he's out, kon can probably see all that nicely congealed blood underneath his nose and eyes and mouth, and that the shards in his body are... bones!! little sharp bonesies, for fun.

but he's breathing, unfortunately.]

[refate]

[ no!!!

are these bones piercing outwards from inside his body, or are they from outside piercing into his body. this is loathsome and terrible and i hate all presumably four of you.

is his breathing raggedy or steady here yaywon. ]

[bookpapers]

[they're OUTSIDE PIERCING INTO HIS BODY and his breathing's steady (grumbles)

it's steady enough for Lavi to scramble to his feet as Gideon wakes him up, and he just takes one look at everyone and he's

running, goodbye]

[refate]

[ jerking back just ?!? and then, furious-worried: ]

Lavi, goddamnit - ! [ boy if you don't think he'll chase you down ]

[bookpapers]

[NO LET HIM FREE... NO ONE LET HIM BECOME A LESBIAN ON THIS CYOA]

[refate]

[ this hound dog cannot be trusted with that power ]

[failbo]

Hey, don't run!

[Filbo tries to grab him, having been nearby, apparently his first reaction when Lavi tried to run was to try to take him down]

You're gonna injure yourself more!

[failbo]

Hey, um, just so you know, if you need a paw I'm here.

[No medical knowledge in the slightest, but the least he can do is try to help. This week Filbo is faaaaaar less worried for Tuuri and Lavi than he would be any other time, and also absolutely indifferent about the two strangers because who the hell are those two, but despite the loss of his general earnest demeanor he'd rather not see Lavi or Tuuri die.

...

For the third timem because they came back dead and therefore they already died a second time? But still]

[refate]

[ poor sweet filbo lacking in his usual levels of empathy and care is too much, this really is hell. ]

Thanks, Fil. We'll want to get them out of the chlorine and off the sand... [ before lavi fucking turns tail like the bastard he is. ] Gentle paws.

[failbo]

That chlorine really gonna mess up any open wounds, sure of it.

[He sucks air through his teeth]

Someone's gonna have to stay with them tonight, just in case. Can't take risks when it's about their lives.

[polyglotti]

[She is face down in the water. It looks like more of her blood is outside her body than inside.

Also she has a skeleton foot in her hands somehow. Don't ask questions it's fine.]

[refate]

[ well that's fun and funky fresh (not)

he doesn't pay too much attention to the skeleton foot, and instead is carefully easing her onto her side once they can drag her at least mostly out of the water. he's ripping his haori sleep up to at least bandage or maybe tourniquet while they wait for medkits, what's the worst gaping blood wound here maple. ]

[polyglotti]

[Wheeze I forgot to say she was wearing her mask, so breathing is fine maybe. I don't actually know if they can breathe underwater or if water leaks in but handwaves. She IS breathing btw, just very shallowly.

The only things obvious at a first are the fact that she's leaking blood from every orifice on her face, but her coat is absolutely soaked in blood so there's probably injuries on her arm and chest too.]

[refate]

[ oh sweet baby. he's going to very cautiously reach for her mask to find how to undo it. ]

Tuuri, if you can hear me, you're back with us. I'm taking this off. [ in case it's too gross in her mask to breathe properly slash it can't help her breathe. ]

[polyglotti]

[Yeah there's a lot of blood in there, and she coughs up some more once she's free to breathe more.]

Okay...just a little longer?

[She is. So tired.]

[refate]

[ careful hand on her back, as he swishes the mask in the water a little to clear some of the blood and maybe use the chlorine to clean it up some. ]

Just a little bit. We got plenty of people here to help you guys out. Hang on for us, okay?

[polyglotti]

Okay. Get Itto first, he's all fucked up.

[She says that like she's not bleeding from a cut on her neck.]

[refate]

[ he's about to go itto? but then he looks up, and the mystique of who this new green-haired girl is gets quickly broken when 1. itto opens his mouth, 2. he is no longer small. ]

... think they're getting him [ taking a strip from his haori to press carefully to her neck ]

[polyglotti]

Okay, then Hunter next. I got the same injuries as Lavi, so I think Hunter got the same injuries as Itto.

[She's like :\ :\ :\ Why are you taking care of her the others are more hurt!!! But she does appreciate not bleeding out, thanks.]
