WEEK FIVE - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Were you able to rest easy knowing you let one mystery go unsolved? Hmm...never fear. 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.

Two 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 all of the previous islands and a new location called Animal Kingdom. A wild time awaits you. Though should you find yourselves returning to more familiar bars, you may find a new menu item awaits them!

With the new week comes new change, of course. You've probably grown accustom to this by now (or maybe you haven't even noticed the correlation of the weekly changes.) But at least you no longer have to struggle with your insecurities and flounder uselessly to prove you're #1. After all who cares, right? You obviously know you're #1. Nobody can argue with you on that one. Look at you. You're here! You're strong! You're powerful! Nothing can stand in your way this week, and you find yourself filled to the brim with all the confidence in the world. Some may even call it being over-assertive, seeing how you'll find yourself acting on inhibitions you may not before and being more assured in everything that you do. In the animal world? Some may even call you the alpha.

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

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 five mingle! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is heightened confidence, or what we lovingly call "alpha week." While it does not have to be a consistent thing, this week your character will swing back from all of their insecurities by being filled with overconfidence (and sometimes arrogance.) Now's the time to see how bold you can be and push the envelope a little. Your hubris doesn't matter here.

-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.

[gloomist]

They're throwing this whole party just to spite me.

[ no ]

[cavaliered]

[she nods a little, like she's absorbing that. there's nothing to absorb, her brain is just full of bees.]

-- Do you want to dance? [sure, just blurt it out, that's fine.]

[ragesqueaks]

[ i'll give you kaoru too but i'm logged in as pubby so. he waves with both hands. ]

I think the purpose was really just because the twins wanted to, but it's probably better for everybody to let them do it and get it out of their systems.

[murderofwoes]

[ no you're getting them all. but first. ]

They needed to make a spectacle of it. [ the twins, she means. but she looks at harrow... ] Though I'll say they did a good job with your attire as well. It matches you.

[ she can give praise where it's due? they kept her aesthetic and that is what matters to wednesday. and, also, she hears a few violin strings and looks seriously at harrow like this is a life or death situation? ]

Come with me to the dance floor.

[tearduct]

[This he cannot relate to, but it's interesting he guesses.]

Your dad was, like, a famous politic?

[cavaliered]

I would never encourage your sick delusions. [she teases, and flicks his forehead before pulling her hand back.]

[greatvalue]

I can think of a few people who wouldn't argue that calmly over who's best dressed.

[glances

at their local fashion icons help]

[outsidebones]

Thank you. Malibu and Blue chose this.

[she did not choose to dress up cute on her own. letting him lead.]

[tearduct]

[Both brows raise.]

I don't think anyone will? Even if you did, I don't think anyone would bat an eye. Look at him.

[Gestures to Kuranosuke.]

[cavaliered]

I've never had cheesecake. Does it taste like cake or cheese...

[she's really just going to move to the snacks table and sit there with him so they can try every single snack.]

[twinsightful]

[ this is the definition of bossing him around, akira please. he's still watching, not doing much to break the eye contact while akira's doing this even if his face is fairly impassive. ]

Oh? We have the same taste. And we always smile at things that are funny. [ even while he's saying that though the tone is incredibly light. just...to see what akira says and does this time. ]

[greatvalue]

[hunter would disagree but he didn't say it out loud so it's fine

he pockets his phone after a bit.]

Looks like Aqua is having fun, too.

[outsidebones]

Ah.

[sympathetic.]

I know little of fashion, but I do think it is suiting to you. Even if it may be preferable to wear it in the desert.

[twinsolent]

We might've wanted a reason to shuck off the costumes for one day~

[ it's the twin wearing the pink mask! which twin is that. a mystery. but he tilts his head to look at her sort of bone corset accessory ]

We didn't pick that one out, but I like it.

[ragesqueaks]

[ a thoughtful squint...his tail might accidentally be hitting her neck because he's wagging it while leaning over her shoulder to look at the snacks. ]

B...oth? But like a good cheese. Not a stinky one.

[tearduct]

[This is gaslighting.

He straightens a bit, but does not lean away. His eyes squint a little.

Then he leans in also.]

You didn't smile when you saw me.

[murderofwoes]

[ wow. ]

Speaking of, didn't you use to have horns? All I can see are small gold nubs.

[hardrocklife]

Hm.

[why be over here when all of the fun is over there...]

Haven't been to a festival since I was a kid, I think...

[outsidebones]

It does seem for the best.

[as at least everyone knows that the demons. just teens.]

...Do you enjoy atmospheres such as this?

[tearduct]

[He looks put-out a bit, then sort of glances around like he's looking for someone.]

I dunno. Probably. If I can get him up.

[firstandgreatest]

[ GOING HEY AND HOPPING UP AND DOWN LIKE IT ACTUALLY HURT ]

Ow, come on, man! I ain't got my normal protection on!

[firstandgreatest]

Hah, you're trying to trick me into saying that I don't, but a real confident guy knows that consistent practice is the only way to improve at something!

[cavaliered]

[she does not mind this in the least.]

There's not stinky cheese? [she grabs for one, and hands him another.] Mmf.

[tearduct]

Don't say it like it's a good thing.

[STOP.

He leads Ryo out to some open space, then faces Ryo again. Puts a hand on Ryo's hip while holding the other hand. He does not know what he's doing, but he's too confident to stop now. Sashay...]

Your outfit is nice.

[hardrocklife]

She's easy to please, at least.

... Don't think that mask is going to last.

[She'll get it eventually. And then she will make it pay.]
