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.

[he laughs under his breath when he realizes what thancred is doing-- shifts position slightly, just enough to make the skirt of the dress move, its asymmetrical hemming making it almost look like it changes shape in motion. just needed to change position, that's all.]

I don't know, do you? I might not warn you ahead of time.

[onlythans]

No coffee in the way this time.

[He says, as he drags his fingers down Ryn's arm from the elbow to the wrist, catches it in the clasp of his fingers, and brings the inside of his wrist up to his lips — a move said elf might find powerfully familiar, only this time considerably less hazardous to his companion's health.]

[voidshift]

[oh. even with the confidence-- he's a shade of purple, behind the hanging veil of his mask, and quietly grateful for its presence for a moment.

just a moment, though. after that kiss to his wrist, he shifts, turning it to let his fingers catch beneath thancred's chin and tilt it to make him look up.]

Charmer. [he says, both teasing and a little fond.] Now are you going to ask me to dance with you, or not?

[onlythans]

Hmmm.

[fucking TALL ELVES but at least it means he can do that thing where he sort of looks up through his bangs, lifting his chin only as far as he's guided and just letting his eyes do the rest.]

That depends.

[THIS IS BAIT THIS IS BAIT THIS IS BAIT.]

[voidshift]

[should've gotten on your knees, it'd be better for your poor old man back.]

Depends onnn...?

[he knows it's bait, but he'll play.]

[onlythans]

Do you want to be asked?

[He smirks, moving a step closer so he can lower his voice by that much more of a margin.]

Or would you rather be told?

[voidshift]

Oh, bold of you to think you can tell me to do anything.

[he grins at that. have i ever remembered to mention warcraft elves have slightly sharp teeth? teeny lil fangs. that might be faintly visible behind the mask.]

[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.

[voidshift]

You'll have to give me more incentive than that, if you're going to be demanding it.

[he likes the boldness, he does-- but he prefers to call the shots.]

[onlythans]

Then it's not a demand, but rather a bribe.

[He grins.]

It's my turn, then. Are you going to ask me to dance?

[voidshift]

Here I am, injured and standing around on my feet while you ask me if I'm going to ask you...

[he's just taking thancred by the arm.]

Come here, you're dancing with me.

[onlythans]

Your poor injured feet weren't incentive enough to concede before? You truly are a brat.

[But hey, if Ryn wants to play at taking the lead, he'll follow along, patently amused.]

Very well, then. You've got me. How will you have me?

[voidshift]

My feet, in case you forgot, are perfectly fine!

[don't slander his feet, wow. despite taking the lead, though, he leans subtly against thancred to offload some of his own weight.]

I'll let you lead. Think that's going to be easiest.

[mostly for having thancred support him.]
