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.

[Rubs the back of his neck a bit.]

...You look nice.

[ontrend]

Thanks, so do you!

[grins]

So? You going to leave me hanging, or can I have this dance?

[tearduct]

[OH NO the peacock chest puff. HE'S BEEN TOLD HE LOOKS GOOD.]

Oh--uh. Yeah, sure.

[Dramatically hold his hand out like a period drama.]

--I don't know how to dance really.

[ontrend]

[he takes his hand and then leads him out to the dance floor.]

That's fine; I do. I can teach you.

[tearduct]

[Follows along after him.]

Oh. Of course you know how to dance.

[ontrend]

Yeah, I got dragged along to a lot of Dad's political parties and stuff before I figured out how to get out of it, so I learned.

It's pretty easy to pick up, though.

[tearduct]

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

Your dad was, like, a famous politic?

[ontrend]

Yeah. Whole family's been in politics for generations. My uncle's the Prime Minister, my old man was some other kind of minister...? And my big bro's starting his career in the Diet.

[he shrugs.]

Dad took me in 'cause he wanted another Koibuchi son to carry on the legacy or whatever, but I was like, fuck that! And I got into fashion instead.

[he explains this as he is very masterfully teaching akira to dance in a way that i do not know how to describe because i'm shit at dancing.]

[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.]

[ontrend]

They're pretty fun to hang out with!

[alas a binch (me) has been swamped by work so kuranosuke has not harassed them nearly as much as he should have]

[tearduct]

[They get along in my handed out cr soul.]

Yeah, they are.

[ontrend]

[grins]

Do you hang out with them a lot, then? Maybe we should all hang together sometime.

[tearduct]

[The idea of him as the outsider in the midst of the three of them......... Closes eyes inwardly.]

I... guess I do? They seem to like having someone to dress up all the time.

[ontrend]

Can't say I blame them! You're fun to hang out with. ...and fun to dress up, too, I bet!

[tearduct]

[There is a hard smash between being embarrassed and humbly shy and also peacocking going on here right now. He looks dismissive.]

I mean, I think it's just because I have the right figure and let them do whatever.

[ontrend]

[he seems extremely amused by that.]

If it works, it works!
