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.

Well, I'm hardly any sort of fashion maven, but I can certainly advise as to what I would favor.

[And all of his opinions are great opinions so there you go! He digs into the racks a bit before eventually reemerging with a halter vest. Truly the mullet of formalwear: business in the front, party in the back.]

Try this — though you might find it a little better suited to a private occasion, rather than a public one.

[engineers]

[ i can't explain to you how much the idea of sexy formalwear appeals to him. he will take it!! and then at the explanation, turns pink in the face like, immediately. ]

Thancred! [ scolding but in the way you have to scold your naughty bard friend who makes naughty bard jokes ] Definitely private! I don't even know if I'd wear this without an undershirt.

[ i mean like, is he thinking about it now? yeah. is he thinking about ljh wearing it now? yeah ]

[onlythans]

Well, I can think of one way of finding out. Go put it on, why not? It's just a lark.

[It's not like Bixing is hard on the eyes, either, strictly speaking. And it's fun to make people fluster.]

[engineers]

[ it's confidence week!!! so you know what!! fuck it!!! he will take it and go like, change somewhere

by the time he comes back, he is definitely red in the face but he is wearing it! unfortunately we all get naked every week for strip check so it's not like it's not already obvious but he has a little more muscle than you might initially expected from a Nerd? he pulls this off, is what i'm saying.

he does a little turn around in the mirror. ]

... Deeefinitely not for a masquerade ball. Haha, oh, wow.

[onlythans]

Mm, I think you're right. No one would even need wear masks to keep their identities concealed; we'd all be too busy staring at you to even think of looking at each other.

[THANCRED.]

You should keep it, though. Put a coat on over it to hide the back, then shed it at an opportune moment. You'll drop jaws. And at least some trousers, I would expect.

[engineers]

[ wow he puts a hand on his own cheek, with a very modest little grin. ]

Do people tell you you're charming a lot? You are very charming. [ teasing but also clearly eating up the attention. it's alpha week baby. if he had a dog tail it would be wagging. ]

But I think maybe I'll take that advice. [ ehehehehe he's going to use this for evil. good? evil. ] Thank you.

[onlythans]

Fewer than I'd like, around here, but I've mostly chalked that up to a lack of taste.

[CONFIDENCE WEEK STRIKES AGAIN.]

Do have fun — and let me know how it turns out, will you?
