WEEK SIX - MINGLE

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Man. Someone out there really pulled the wool over your eyes, huh? Well, 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 Frosty Peaks. Better bundle up. Though should you find yourselves returning to more familiar bars, you may find a new menu item awaits them!
The bright side of starting a new week is that your confidence levels even out back to normal. (Well, actually, maybe that's not so great for some of you. Damn. Sorry.) Your insecurities are still manageable and you have once again regained a healthy sense of hubris rather than completely losing your minds. Your memories are still private, and you haven't lost anything either either. Maybe you've caught a break this week...?
Haha, psych. But it was fun to think about while it lasted, huh? For some of you, it may be hard to notice at first, especially if you're already a hands-on sort of person. But over the course of the week, you will find that you'll struggle with the urge to touch the people around you. A desire to hold hands, hug, or even cuddle may strike at the most overwhelming and inappropriate times, and you'll just have to deal with that. Sometimes the touch between two of you is more subtle. For some of you, it might be a little too intense. There's no saying when and how it may hit you and who may be around when it does.
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 six mingle! A few notes for clarity.
-This week's effect is touch week, or what we lovingly call "cuddle week." What a nice thing to happen when the new location is cold as balls. Characters will find themselves struck with the urge to touch each other ranging from casual touches to full-on signs of affection. It's not on a sliding scale based on CR, so use this as an opportunity to play around and see what happens when your characters are combined.
-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.

Rotten apple cider might also be acceptable depending on exactly how rotten we're talking. It's already fermented anyway.

MINI-EVENT
And you know, like, you're totally free to blow them off. You don't have to board the ferry and head to Frosty Peaks to see what that's all about. But for those of you who are curious, when you venture off of the ferry and trudge your way up the mountain, you'll find that there's a cluster of six cabins, all in shambles.
Hanging on the front door of each cabin are a variety of posters advertising for Satan's house party again. In front of the cabins in a general common area sit several tables filled with all sorts of items up for grabs. There are planks of wood, hammers, nails, powertools with quickly-draining batteries, duct tape, rope, superglue, lightbulbs, candles, matchbooks, chunks of coal, buckets, blankets, pillows, sewing needles, threads, fabrics, tarps, paint, and any other items you can think of for home repair in varying states of usability. Of course, there's the ever-present table full of drinks! However, like always, they are only drinks for what's on this particular island. Finally, above it all hangs another banner:
Check the list of teams and get ready to build the biggest, best cabin to stand up against the worst winter has to offer. You and your team will have to work together to fix all of the damage inside your assigned cabin, repairing as best as you can and redecorating to taste.
But since it's about making the best, nothing says you can't sabotage the competition! Steal their supplies, undo some of their repairs, flat-out steal one of their teammates...we trust you to be creative in your pursuits!

The air is a little chilly, isn't it? When you look inside the cabins the interior is even worse than the exterior, but at least there's a fireplace you can try to get working! And, you know, one bed...just in case you need to take a break to share some body heat.
Good luck!
(flurry voice) team stupid eyes
he's stealing everything in sight. wood? his now. hammers? his now. power tools? duct tape? buckets that he's shoving blankets and pillows in to? ALL HIS NOW.
he looks up when he spots gideon and persephone though. ]
Quick, start stealing, or we're going to have three nails and a blanket and nothing else.

Whenever he feels someone is getting close, he tries to be as subtle as possible, as if he was just killing time here, and tries his hardest to move away so the octopus has time to return to normal and take someone else's nightmares and horrors' form instead of his, although most of the time anyone passing by would briefly hear the voices of several individuals they don't know. Filbo just...nods in acknowledgement at anyone passing by, not really saying anything unless engaged. He has with him quite a big bottle with a label of grape soda, the bottle obtained from the convenience store of this section of hell, and the contents do look pretty fizzy and in large quantities.

💧❄️☃️ 1/?
your local gamer girl steps off first dressed in a pink and blue bodysuit with a baggy oversize official Gamerpad hoodie and baseball cap. not to be confused with her starter fit, no no, because the official pink sweatshirt is sporting all of the beloved classic games and the hat has a very sassy bunny logo on it! clearly she is the Head Gamer Grrl of some made up dorm at some made up school (or is it??). there are also cute pink makeup streaks on her cheeks, but they appear a bit smudged? damb.
ignore the dry blood and bruising, she's totally fine, what is more important is the person she's helping off the ferry. you can't tell who it is from far away, but they look like they've seen better days, surely it's all fine!! ]
It's freezing!! Get some blankets, quick!!
[ upon closer look, it does appear they're all (genshin voice) wet. good thing they just renovated those cabins! now they won't freeze to death, probably. ]
💧❄️☃️ 2/??
there's someone coming off the ferry after d.va and whoever she's dragging off with her. lucky, he's perfectly able to walk without assistance, even if he is dressed... uh... strangely. it looks like a normal outfit but there's something just a little off about it. like it's not meant for the purpose it's portraying.
luckily(?), date doesn't look hugely injured. maybe a little battered, at most. but he looks tired. really tired, like... there's something a little hollow somewhere in his eyes, if you look hard enough. not that there's much of a chance to, given that he immediately sneezes and hunches over. not really dressed for the cold now, is he?
it probably doesn't help that he's also... drenched, yeah. (genshin voice) w e t. and stepping directly into the snow isn't helping his case against hypothermia. ]
F-fucking hell.

...until they don't. At 11pm, a cheery tone plays from the radio app on your phone as a ripple of shadows pass over the islands. You're free to move a limited amount, but you'll find that all doors are locked and you're stuck in one area.
It's only when the clock strikes midnight that anything changes. Whether you're still awake and partying, or whether you're dreaming a little dream, a wall of fire erupts before your eyes and you're plunged straight into darkness. A dreamless sleep awaits you until Friday morning.
Sleep well, little deadlings.
