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.

[slams this down and runs to eat before i have to work again

kuranosuke is here!! from head to toe - wig (with the rose clip), mask (thank you yoru!), lipstick (and eye makeup but honestly i'm too tired to go pinterest diving for Just The Right Mascara there's a mask it's fine), a necklace, a dress, a bracelet, and heels. he seems pretty pleased with the setup.

striding right up to just about anyone, he holds out a hand - ]

Care to dance?

[cavaliered]

If you don't mind teaching me. [she jokes, doing a very over the top bow, reaching to take kuranosuke's hand. a little wink and she kisses the back of his hand, because it's alpha week and she can't help herself.] You look great. Not that you don't every day. I'd break my fucking neck in those heels.

[ontrend]

I don't mind at all!

[he laughs, winks back at her as she kisses the back of his hand, then reaches out to guide her in the dance steps. i, britt, truly do not know shit about dancing so we're just going to pretend that's happening.]

All it takes is practice. I was a little wobbly when I first started wearing them.

[cavaliered]

[i also don't know shit about dancing but hey! here we are! they are doing it.]

I'll pass. You've got it covered.

[teufelshund]

Certainly!

[ takes his hand! ]

You're looking lovely, but that's hardly a surprise.

[ontrend]

Thanks! You clean up pretty nicely yourself!

[time to dance!! i don't know crap about dancing, but kuranosuke can dance well enough.]

[teufelshund]

Always glad to get your seal of approval!

[ me neither but he's also pretty good so i think we can assume this goes smoothly!! ]

[psynchronise]

There's a not exactly zero chance I'll step on your feet. Just so you know.

[ but sure, he is willing to dance. ]

[ontrend]

Let's make a game of it! You have to take a shot for every time you step on my feet.

[time to dance!!]

[psynchronise]

Is this like… a ploy to get me drunk?

[ but okay!!! alcohol!! ]

[tearduct]

[God dammit, his heterosexuality has become confused and abandoned him for the thousandth time.]

[ontrend]

[bro, your heterosexuality abandoned you weeks ago]

Well?

[tearduct]

[Rubs the back of his neck a bit.]

...You look nice.

[selfdestructs]

Don't mind if I do~

[ takes his hand! ]

You look amazing, Kura!

[ontrend]

So do you!

[he will gladly twirl her around on the dance floor.]

You been to something like this before?

[selfdestructs]

Thank youuu~

[ twirls!! ]

I have, though it's been a while! Hopefully I still got it.

[ low percent chance of her messing up, but who's to say ]

[refate]

You're gonna have to lead; I'm not so bad I'll step on your feet, but it's not something a nerdyass guy like me does.

[ still, taking his hand with his lone left one. paw! ]

You did really good matching the outfit to the mask, but that's not a surprise.

[ontrend]

That's no problem! Dad made sure I knew the guy's part ages ago.

[takes kon's hand and begins to lead!!]

Yoru gave me a great mask to work with!

[refate]

I know enough to at least follow along. They had us do some recreational classes for different things to keep us active.

[ falls into step with, making sure he doesn't look down at their feet. ]

He had a lot of fun doing those, so I'm glad.

[polyglotti]

[Tuuri is beaming as she comes over.]

Sure! But you'll have to show me how, I get the feeling it's nothing like the kind of dancing we did back home.

[ontrend]

Not a problem, I can teach you!

[he grins and leads her out to the dance floor]

...but you'll have to teach me your dances from home, too!

[outsidebones]

[in a way she trusts kuranosuke to teach her, so she'll nod.]

Acceptable. You must lead. I do like your dress.

[ontrend]

Yeah, of course! Don't worry - it's easy to pick up.

[he's just assuming that he has to teach everyone who tells him to lead tbh. he'll lead her over to the dance floor!]

Thanks! Yoru picked out the mask, and I found something that works with it. Your whole outfit looks awesome!

[firstandgreatest]

Yeah!

[ he does not take the hand because that is not how he dances, which is more Extremely Drunk Boy in the club. But you know what? it's enthusiastic. ]

[ontrend]

[


honestly that's fine. kuranosuke canonically goes clubbing so he will just join him in his Extremely Drunk Boy in the club dance.]
