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.

You mean...talk to it firmly and show you're not messing around in case it gets funny ideas?

[Can't be that easy, he thinks to himself. If it was, someone during an execution would have tried already...well, then again, those are very stressful and vulnerable moments. Perhaps it just never crosses their minds to even try to get their shadows under control]

[gloomist]

If it knows it can get away with doing what it wants, it'll do it. But if it's too afraid, it'll have no choice but to what you say.

Sometimes talk isn't enough to prove that.

[failbo]

...so in other words, you need to get it so afraid of you it will obey you without any doubt.

[......]

...Iiiii see. Welp, guess mine will stay untamed.

[Filbo wouldn't be able to put fear into anything or anyone, and he knows it, haha]

[gloomist]

Not up to the task, huh?

[failbo]

I would try if I had to! But I kinda have doubts I'll know how to really threaten anything effectively? I mean, in concept I could? But the delivery wouldn't work, probably.

[That and also he knows it's pretty hard to take him seriously and that's why it's surprising to him a lot of people here in hell seem to. He doesn't expect any shadow, not even his own to listen]

[gloomist]

[ vex looks at him. and then gives a very cruelly understanding nod. ]

You're probably right. I don't think I could feel threatened by you no matter how hard you tried.

[failbo]

Exactly! A few days ago I accidentally sent Childe a message saying I would skin and wear him as a cape, I'm sure he had a good laugh about it wherever he is.

[...or at least he will have sent that message because it just happened in a thread be right back, haha]

[gloomist]

[ an assessing look, to see if she can take the threat seriously at all... and the answer is no. ... but... ]

... He'd laugh even if it felt like a genuine threat. [ he's a freak. ]

[failbo]

...you know what, he would. Childe is kinda unnerving when he gets like that.

[The dead must have their hands full dealing with him, he's sure]

[gloomist]

What's he gonna do, kill you? You're already dead.
