WEEK SIX - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

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.

One Week 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 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.

[ happy thursday hellians!! are you enjoying the slopes, making snow angels or pelting each other with snow balls? well you might want to turn your attention to the blaring horn as a ferry pulls up to Frosty Peak.

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. ]

[ happy mcfreakin' thursday folks.

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.

[ IT'S FREEZING. HELP. ]

💧❄️☃️ 3/??

[voidshift]

[there is someone else coming off the ferry, who isn't date or the person d.va is hauling.

rynlan dawnslight is your ordinary, everyday elf boy. he has long beautiful blue tentacle hair that he keeps pulled back in a bun that looks effortlessly messy, very hip black-framed glasses, fashionably ripped jeans and a t-shirt of his favorite band ever. ((A/N: basically u can imagine like a one direction t-shirt but instead it has 3 guys and one of them is a super cute blond elf guy and one is thancred from final fantasy and one is scaramouche from genshin impact lol)) also his cool converse shoes have some of his favorite lyrics written on them in sharpie. he thinks he's just plain and ordinary looking but people in the school hallways always look at him and think about how cute he is, but he's always too busy looking at the floor to notice. he's totally awkward though and sometimes he accidentally trips over things and his biggest flaw is he just cares too much.

he tucks a stray lock of blue tentacle behind one of his long, pretty elf ears as he steps off of the ferry, striking blue glowy eyes wide with surprise as he glances from side to side, shivering delicately in the cold. he's wet as well, ripped jeans and band tee clinging to his petite body, his arms wrapped around himself.

did i already mention he can be such a klutz sometimes? because he totally can. he isn't looking where he's going, and suddenly trips over nothing after he steps into the snow.......

((A/N: hi i hope u enjoyed x3 next chapter is a BIG surprise i'll post it if this gets 50 comments!!))]

4/4

[ well, hey, at least we’re all dressed decently, right....

soaking wet and helped along and down the ferry by d.va is the final figure - none other than lu bixing, and boy, let me tell you, it is cold out here. his head’s down, and he’s holding something tightly in his free hand.

bixing’s moving very, very slowly - his right shoulder is hanging a little oddly, and he’s struggling to put any weight on his left foot, though he is valiantly trying to keep up with the group. there’s blood visible on the inside of his left arm, and his visible and bare legs are covered in bruises and cuts. he says something to d.va, quiet and soft, a ] It’s…okay, we’re okay - [ and then a cold wind blows, and he - ]

Ah - ah - ah-choo!

[ sneezes, hard. there’s a horribly crackly noise as he does so, and lu bixing makes an awful, miserably pained face - and then swoons

and starts to pass out, falling face forward and showing off the absolutely nightmarish collection of bruises and not quite in the right place bones at the saucy little openings in the back of his hospital gown.

well, hm. ]

[teufelshund]

[ sighs. for once in his life mephisto will actually be useful and WILL get some blankets, then throw them at everyone unceremoniously. (except d.va, he can hand her one.) ]

Fun trip, I take it.

[psynchronise]

[ sneezes at him.



he's also just watching him like he did something wrong, actually. ]

[selfdestructs]

[ he is so nice to her. ]

Thanks...[ lbx has her sweater, so she wraps the blanket around herself. ]

Oh, the most fun. [ said so dryly. ]

[voidshift]

[frowning back at the ferry...]

There was supposed to be a limo...

[and some guy is here in a hospital gown he guesses but he's just an ordinary elf this isn't his issue to deal with]

[awol]

[ distant ambulance noises are howling from tiny yoru in lin jingheng's arms as he sees this bullshit group disembarking the ferry. ]

You heard Song! Blankets and some medkits now!

[ and i'm sorry but he's making lu bixing his first stop, he has priorities and he loves the rest of you but this is his husband so he's starting here (and so i don't hog all the hurt comfort). anyways, he's pushing off his coat and shoving it around lu bixing to cover up that saucy little hospital gown while sitting yoru down so he can get his arms around him to assess the damage here. ]

Bixing—

[cavaliered]

[tosses him a medkit, here. she'll be over in a second.]

[refate]

[ distressed WEEWOO WEEWOO WEEWOO from the snow now ]

[engineers]

[ hey, you know who never gets hurt, really? lu bixing. you know who probably doesn't handle pain all that well? lu bixing! he's like knocked the fuck out at first, but... lin jingheng moving him gets his face to crumple a little, wincing, and bixing's remaining eye flutters open. the syllables come out on a wheeze - up that close, lin jingheng can probably hear the sound of something crackly in his breathing. ]

Lin...?

[ and he just looks


so relieved, for a second. ]

[psynchronise]

[ not that it really matters but date goes very fucking still when jingheng starts shouting.



and then he slowly clenches and unclenches his hand at his side and doesn't move. ]

[selfdestructs]

[ help. bixing your bare ass.... ]

Lulu!!

[ falls to her knees beside him and takes her gamer grrl sweater off, placing it on him. ]

Hey, we're back, stay wake for me, okay?

[engineers]

[ my cute butt

anyway. he's fine. this is fine! he's fine. thankfully, the action and lin jingheng running the fuck over help, and he squints up at dva briefly and even after everything gives her a soft, tired smile. ]

Don't...recommend sneezing. [ wheeze ]

[greatvalue]

[





HE THROWS HIS PUFF JACKET OVER BIXING'S BUTTCRACK????]

[engineers]

[ thanks kiddo ]

[cavaliered]

[screams with her MOUTH CLOSED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

okay well she has a medkit she's going to one, try to go support date up even if he doesn't need it and also try to make sure lu bixing is like, fucking ALIVE.]

[psynchronise]

[ gideon's a good girl. he's not gonna say no to being propped up. ]

He's alive, don't worry. [ HE DOESN'T SOUND IMPRESSED. well. no, that's not right. he just sounds tired. ]

... Maybe don't separate them for a bit.

[engineers]

[ wheezy, now that he's not like, passed out, and hoarse - teeth chattering: ]

G-Gideon....?

[preordain]

[ everyone else is handling it so ryo isn't running in but

rip to you all sucks that this happened ]

[onlythans]

[you know i could write a long and evocative tag here but frankly i'm just betrayed and offended like how dare honestly.

Anyway here's Thancred and he's on the scene. Rynlan turn on your location because I, Alex, just want to talk.]

[voidshift]

[his location is right here, in the snow, after he tripped into it.

he sneezes (cutely) as he picks himself up.]

[engineers]

[ yea ]

[hardrocklife]

[well, zel's hanging back while others run ahead to hand them blankets, have tearful exchanges with loved ones, and whatever the heck the tsunderes among us are doing.

after giving them a little breathing room...]

Any of you need a hand walking? We should get you indoors.
