WEEK FOUR - MINGLE

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.
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.

Sure! Teach me, headmaster.

"Tsundere" is a term from Japanese media that arose from combining the two onomatopoeia "tsun tsun" and "dere dere" — the former describing a disdainful turning away and the latter a sweet display of affection! It's used to refer to a character — most often a very cute girl, especially one with a twintail hairstyle like our Miss Four sported — who comes off as angry and harsh, but who in reality possesses a sweet maiden's heart! As the wall she's built up around her heart gradually comes down and she starts to warm up, she can finally admit her feelings for the object of her affections!
It's very fulfilling for both the characters and the audience.

anyway, ]
...I see. Do they show up in enemies to lovers kind of stories...? Or any kind? Though, I think I can see the audience appeal of someone who's cold but warms up... that is pretty ideal. [ ♥ ♥ ♥ ] I'm not very familiar with anime as a genre, though. It's more so about the behavior than the look, right? I think I get it.
