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.

[polyglotti]

Okay! Do you think we can be ready by the time we get to Satan's party?

[twinsightful]

[ outright laughing. ]

That's what I thought. Sports days aren't so bad but this was way more fun to plan and the outfits are a lot cuter.

[teufelshund]

[ was everyone watching that???? ]

Don't remind me.

[hardrocklife]

Hm...?

[He glances in the direction she indicates.

Then he nods, and takes her offered hand.]

[preordain]

Of course I do. You know, I did have an active life.

[ he is not saying he likes it but he knows how to do it.

he glances over to the rest of the crowd. ]

Are you enjoying yourself?

[teambalance]

I'm used to fighting in a skirt, but definitely not one like this. I'd probably snag it on a corner and ruin it or something.

[polyglotti]

[Sneaking upstairs they go! uhuhuhuhu

Okay it's not actually that scandalous, Tuuri's just looking for a spot where they can lean on the balcony railing and look over the whole masquerade.]

How's this spot? It's about as quiet as it's going to get without going into one of those rooms.

[cavaliered]

[she does not drop her! in fact, she boops their noses together annoyingly. and then she straightens them back up, grinning.]

Have a little faith, Nonagesimus.

[selfdestructs]

[ the lack of objection is very telling. dva 1 ljh 0 ]

[tearduct]

[Ok, Hikaru. Hate it here.

Once he is close enough, Akira scoops up one hand and lifts the arm to put it up around his shoulder. He does the same with the other arm too...]

It's okay if you can't dance with a good-looking guy... I won't judge you.

[polyglotti]

Alright, I won't.

[SMILE SMILE]

Danced with anyone yet?

[twinsightful]

It's really the only reason we bothered joining. Everything else sounded so boring and we didn't want to participate.

[ there's a low hum though. ] Always about appearances, right? What made you decide to change the look?

[twinsightful]

That's your own fault. You didn't even try. [ shaking his head like tsk, tsk, tsk. ] Anyway we keep telling you guys, it's a work uniform. A uniform for our jobs that we work. It's just part of the deal.

[selfdestructs]

It's been a while since I've been to one of these, so I can't make any promises.

[ but she will do her best!! the music is very easy to follow at the moment, which is good. father daughter dance.... ]

You strike me as the classically trained type, but that could be an illusion. We will see.

[tearduct]

[Somehow, this surprises him and also does not surprise him at all.]

You and the twins must get along great.

[Fashion...

Oh I forgot to say me too despite playing a character whose whole schtick is dancing.]

[cavaliered]

[akira is going to get her in trouble.

she goes willingly and without complaint, let's get some Treats.]

[teufelshund]

...It's referring to crab meat inside of a fried pastry ball, so it's not the crab that's getting puffed.

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke laughs



anyway he seems to be having a great time despite his dance partner being grumpy but like. he's used to dragging people into stuff who Don't Want To Be There so]

[tearduct]

Yeah?

[No hesitation. He's earnest! He gestures at himself.]

I don't think I have the right look for what you and Kuranosuke can do.

[twinsightful]

[ okay well. did not expect him to do that, so his arms kind of move in akira's grip, draping over the shoulders. on the other hand, up close akira may notice the tiniest flash of yellow around his right wrist that immediately tucks behind his head.

while he raises an eyebrow again. ]

I don't think I'm the one with a guy problem here.

[onlythans]

[Why Mr. Dawnslight what sharp teeth you have. Not unlike a Seeker's, probably, since a Keeper's would be longer and more pronounced. And damn, does he pay attention to them on Seekers.]

I am nothing if not bold. Now dance with me.

[ontrend]

[sometimes you just say stuff

anyway, yes! they dance! i assume harrow is not like, tripping over her own feet or anything like that.]

[tearduct]

[pfffft help them

He tries not to laugh, but he looks amused. Like not at her specifically, at them both.]

They did a good job with us.

[tearduct]

Sure.

[Unconvinced he would use the word active to describe just how smart Ryo happens to always be.

He keeps looking at Ryo, watching Ryo watch everyone else.]

I guess so. Are you?

[teufelshund]

So if I were to just give up on subtlety altogether and ask all my questions about this whole situation directly, what percentage of them do you estimate would actually get usable answers?
