WEEK FIVE - MINGLE

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.
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.

[You know the sound of a man who's both so injured and so accustomed to existing while injured that he's decided to find one position that's slightly less painful than all the possible other positions he could be in, and is just going to hold still in that particular position forever?
That's what Thancred's doing right now.]
Nav. Get Nav. She's hurt worse.
[IS SHE THOUGH???]
no subject
[ OOOOH HE'S GONNA KILL YOU HIMSELF ACTUALLY
he doesn't quite snap, but lu bixing sounds very stern and very worried as he looks over from where he's stabilizing gideon. ]
State of your injuries - and tell me honestly, if you tell me it's not that bad, I'm never speaking with you again.
no subject
[That last one seems particularly hard for him to say.]
Chest wound. Her...eye? Face. She's lost a lot of blood. Get her first. M'still in one piece.
[why does he know gideon's injuries better than he knows his own]
no subject
You - I've got her, Thancred, but if you bleed out on the ground in the process, it's not going to help anyone. She started asking after you, too, and you and I both - just don't move, and tell me where the worst of it is so we can get you taken care of, too, please.
no subject
[His BEAUTIFUL FACE.]
Don't let Ryn check the burns.
no subject
[ he mumbles, but - lu bixing nods. he'll take care of them for him so rynlan doesn't have to - and though he won't go far from gideon either, he does reach over to very gently check the state of his face, moving his bangs with his free hand and then letting out a little huff of a very, very tired, wet laugh. this is the worst. ]
It's very dashing. [ weh. :( he's gonna go staunch any of his actively bleeding anything now. goodbye. ] Hold still, alright?
no subject
Meanwhile, there's a lot of lacerations on his cheek that look like they might've come from flying glass or shrapnel, and a bigger cut that runs vertically down one eye (anime-style) that looks of the right shape and width to have come from a zweihander.]
'll be fine. Just let me sleep a few moons...
