WEEK FOUR - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. The heavens shine down upon you as you live to see another day...haha.

It's not just the heavens and the stars, though. 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.

Three 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 Gehenna University, Hallow's Hollow, Subnutica, Memory Lane and a new location called Gigantica. It's difficult to miss, after all! Though should they find themselves returning to more familiar bars, they may find a new menu item awaits them!

But the best part about this week is that those pesky TVs are no longer around making their appearance and showcasing your most intimate memories. No more secrets revealed, no more falling through random holes in the ground and bruising yourself painfully, no more awkward situations you have to explain. For now it's just you and the things you want to share. Well...mostly. It's a little hard to feel confident about yourself after everything that's happened, isn't it? After all, there's always going to be someone better than you. Someone smarter. Someone more put together. Normally these things may not bother you, but this week it seems that all of those pesky little insecurities that plague your mind are amped up to ten. It isn't always daunting. Sometimes you're able to remember the things you like about yourselves, but for the most part? You might need a little convincing to break yourself out of the cycle of uncertainty.

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 four mingle! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is heightened insecurities While it does not have to be a consistent thing, this week your character will experience their insecurities amplified in a way that they can't always ignore. These can be things such as lack of confidence in their strength, their talents, their relationships with other people, things they happen to dislike about themselves, things they wish they could change, things they envy from other people, etc. Feel free to be creative about what your character would personally find to be something they're insecure about.

-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.

[It doesn't matter who you are, he is lumbering up to you and forcibly putting one of your leg into a rubberish band attached to his own leg.

TRAPPED.]

On go, we race.

[toyska]

[I think about how every thread we've had is stupid and I have to continue the tradition

Don't steal his socks Akira]

Ready when you are!

[tearduct]

[Steals one sock while he isn't looking.]

Go!

[Was someone else supposed to say go? Don't know. He starts booking it, and even though he isn't inhuman, he's pretty fucking fast.]

[toyska]

[STOP

Anyway this is fine! He remembers how fast Akira is from their stupid corn maze race ("race") so he's PREPARED. It takes a little adjustment because a three-legged race is still, y'know, not exactly something he does on the daily, but at least he doesn't eat shit immediately]

[tearduct]

[Childe should probably stop being a good competitive contender since this only fuels his drive.

Except they have to go around something, and he definitely is going to go in one direction whether or not Childe decides to follow.]

[toyska]

[I debated flipping a coin to decide if he goes the same way or the opposite way and then decided it's funnier if he goes the opposite way

So instead I rolled and got a 4 which means I guess he's falling]

[astika]

[HELLO?

he's punching akira]

[tearduct]

[HELP WHAT THE HECK]

Ow! You--!

[He punches back.]

[astika]

[chandra tries to dodge except since ONE OF HIS LEGS!! IS TIED!! he just falls instead]

[tearduct]

[Well, they are tied TOGETHER, so when Chandra goes down, Akira goes down right on top of him.]

[astika]

[shoves at him]

Get off, you worm!

[cavaliered]

What? Race where.

[???]

[tearduct]

Race! Around these vegetables.

OneTwoThree GO!

[He starts running!]

[cavaliered]

[WELL OKAY I GUESS

i mean listen, she's not like any of these other scrubs. he says go, and she fucking takes off like a racehorse. this is the worst, because she's taller than him, but she'll terminator run around the vegetables.

of course, they're going to come around to a turn. and she really just grabs him as she leans and drifts with him completely off the ground. wheeeeeeee.]

[tearduct]

[This is why they're besties. HOLY SHIT. He has to lock his arm around her arm to hang on as she takes off.

Nevermind, she is hauling him up and they are drifting. Can't lie and say he doesn't hoot loudly in excitement.]

[cavaliered]

[this is so funny. he's so excited!! she's also excited that he's excited, it's like when you rile up two dogs and they do zoomies. they turn the corner and she makes it about another five or so steps before she steps wrong and falls, but like. she turns at the last second and makes sure she's the one who hits the ground so she doesn't squish him.

she's also laughing her ass off.]

[failbo]

...A-Akira, this seems like a bad idea!

[Oh good grief he has been roped into running tied to Akira.

This is it, Filbo is going to die today]

[tearduct]

[HELP.

He immediately tries to take off without even saying anything, but Filbo is huge in comparison,

so he just trips and lands face-down. It's not a long drop, at least. Unstoppable force meets immovable object.]

[failbo]

Ah--! You alr--!

[Akira fell down and Filbo, in a hurry to get to him, kind of trips with the cord that connects Akira and him's legs, and heavily falls down as well.

Awesome job, team]

[tearduct]

[WAHHH. Two down. He's glad, at least, Filbo didn't fall on top of him. He puts one hand on his head and winces.]

Sorry... I probably should've said go.

[failbo]

...hey, come on, stand up. Gotta try again, Akira.

[Let him just roll over and manage to get back on his feet]

Can't be giving up just because we fell on our face once! Or twice, or...eleven times!

[outsidebones]

[i love when someone does a universal prompt and i can't imagine who would actually choose your character for the prompt, but i can make it happen anyway by responding.]

...No. Unhand me.

[tearduct]

[finally playing someone who would do it to any person

He is already sticking the bone leggy in.]

Link arms. We run at the same time.

[WHY ISNT HE ASKING]

[outsidebones]

No! I don't want to run.

[by the way she's still wearing her crown in this thread. and she's not capable of resisting this.]

[tearduct]

[this is so funny i was gonna make akira comment on the crown but didnt know if she had it on]

Put your foot on top of mine then, and I'll run for the both of us.

[she

still will have to use one leg but whatever]

...Nice crown, princess.
