WEEK SEVEN 2: THURSDAY PREGAME EDITION

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Change is coming. Satan's grace has shined upon you...and you made it. Congratulations to those of you who wake up in Gehenna this morning.

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.

Four Days Until Satan's House Party!! Congrats on Your Invite!!

The countdown continues...

It's funny. You've all played along for so long. It's been so many weeks of hard work, of training, of experiencing new things and trying to figure out the best game strategy for the drink-off, but at the same time you've lost so much. It may even feel as though all of this was for naught. Some of you may have even lost hope along the way. But hey. Haven't you heard? The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Walking out of the dorm, it's immediately obvious something is different. It's in the atmosphere, and unlike before, you can hear ambient sounds in the distance and all around you. It's the sound of other people. Other establishments. Other islands and other residents, all things you haven't experienced before in your isolated dimension. Bicker is popping off from a million accounts, no longer just you newbies. Anywhere you go there are strangers, human and demon alike, just living their afterlives. At the dock, the ferry is happily floating on the lava, waiting for you to climb aboard. While there are still several unknowable islands on the horizon, the ferry can now shuttle you between all of the previous islands and the largest island in all of Hell. This island can be seen from just about every other point of this realm, but it's even larger than life when you finally arrive. Should you find yourselves returning to more familiar bars, you may find that along with new faces - real bartenders, thank God - new menu items await you as well.

But maybe you'll be too busy for that. After all, for some of you it isn't just your surroundings that are different when you wake up. You may feel better than ever, like a part of you has been revitalized, or... like a part of you has been switched back on. Abilities you once had in your living life have been returned to your possession, but do keep in mind the rules and regulations of Hell. Don't abuse them, now! Be a good neighbor.

Everywhere you look there's the buzz and excitement of the upcoming party, and everywhere you travel feels more open than before. You're less limited, less isolated, and perhaps you'll even run into a familiar face in the crowds, if you're lucky.

But there are a few consequences that come with being abruptly ejected from a quarantine zone and into the real realm of Hell. Some things need to be recalibrated, and throughout the course of the week you may find yourself experiencing different effects you underwent during your previous weeks here. Maybe one day you find yourself experiencing a loss of your senses. Maybe the next you're falling back into those memory-sharing holes. And maybe another you're t-posing each other to assert your dominance without realizing how stupid you look.

It almost seems as though it's simply meant to be an annoyance...for everyone involved.

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 the week of pregaming!

Good morning everybody, and welcome to your week seven mingle, aka the final mingle for endgame week! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is everything. That is to say, you are free to either not be affected by anything at all, or you may play with the different effects that have come up during the course of the game to play out with people you may have missed opportunities with! As a reminder, the effects are:

-Rumor Mill (aka the compulsion to tell a lie or spread a rumor about someone)
-Emotional Overload (aka experiencing intense emotions and the inability to calm down until they're shared)
-Loss (aka loss of senses, memories, abilities, etc.)
-Memshare (self-explanatory)
-Heightened insecurities
-Overconfidence
-Touch

-As noted in the blurb above, those of you who have powers in your canons now have access to these again (outside of anything game-breaking.) Any items from home may be unnerfed as well. Please use your powers responsibly! Abuse of powers or harming random residents will be flagged to the HPD and your powers will be shut down for 24 hours.

-If you "die" you come back within three hours. All injuries, including old ones, now heal at an accelerated rate, but the specific time and amount is up to you oocly.

-Also as noted in the blurb above... Hell has a few more residents than usual! That is to say, along with now being populated with its own residents, characters who have died and were in the graveyard are now available to you once more. There is no longer a barrier between you guys. Be free.

-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.

-Finally, we will not have a trial this Saturday but we will be having our endgame event, aka SATAN'S PARTY. Please let us know if you will not be available, but otherwise we'll see you then!

[here are all of them on one page!

also, we have so many effects this week like rumor mill (aka the compulsion to tell a lie or spread a rumor about someone), emotional overload (aka experiencing intense emotions and the inability to calm down until they're shared), loss (aka loss of senses, memories, abilities, etc.), memshare (self-explanatory), heightened insecurities, overconfidence and touch so feel free to throw those in whenever.

please, have fun. this is for science but it’s also just to hang out with each other and go wild because it’s the last curfew of the game!!]

[engineers]

[ and once the actual talk has died down, bixing's also over here!! he's got his personal device with a full description of each of the drinks up and hovering so the screen is visible to anyone who wants to look, and he's also got water. like a father. he looks very excited by this prospect of For Science. and maybe also at playing bartender? or maybe he's just really, really excited not to be forced to be put to sleep and wake up to someone dead. his curfew trauma nightmare has finally ended!

anyway: ]

If you end up mixing a few drinks and get a strange effect, let me know! I've started playing with those, but the possibilities are almost endless. Additionally, if there are any you'd like to avoid, they're all clearly marked, so be careful! But, if you want something at random, I'm happy to bring you a random drink, too. Or get your own! You don't have to ask me.

[toyska]

This is a terrible idea.

[But he says it, like, in an amused tone... in that "y'all are gonna be so fucking messy in like an hour and I will be here laughing about it" way]

[refate]

[ anyways, joining him and looking at the list. he also has it written down in his notebook, but yoru is currently using it to write notes about the slumber party planning and is also scribbling little childish doodles despite him being unlocked. ]

If you mixed Woo Woo and Nice Having Ya, do you think that you'd just go around biting asses? [ distract satan by making him bite people on the ass (no) ]

[reignite]

[ just dumps my fit check here ig, but Uriel is wearing a sheep kigu... cute. except, the top half is also just rolled down to tie around her waist because of her Wings. her top is... well, this with open back for her wings. ( before you click that it's. it's a lil spicy. TASTEFUL. "zetsu why" just this once... i want to live my dreams.... )

anyways, she's holding up a glass of "Bundle Up" ]

Ah, you have my and Childe's drink here as well!

[ and to lu bixing. ] What kind of mixes have you done so far?

[voidshift]

If we're experimenting, surprise me.

[pepperidge farm remembers confidence week]

[awol]

[ he's wearing this shirt with the top half of his dinosaur kigu tied around his waist. ]

What if you drank "Stop" and some body-specific drink. Think it would target that particular body part?

[ he is not trying this. someone else be the guinea pig. he's smoking while zhanlu happily sits with popcorn wrapped around his neck. he has materialized his own little iguana kigu in his digital projection :v ]

[eleusinia]

[ draping herself over his shoulder! i am assuming he is like bending or something idk let me have this ]

So what science have you discovered so far, Mr. Headmaster?

[toyska]

[Comes back over here eventually while Ryo and Harrow are being insane]

I told you this was a terrible idea.

[teufelshund]

[ belatedly, mephisto is here and finally wearing this amazing strawberry milk cat kigu i picked out weeks ago because look at the curl on the head of this thing. he seems to be in a good mood as he looks over the full drink menu, apparently having no issues with hanging out in the building he died in. ]

I never really thought about just how many of these there were, but seeing them all together like this is something!

[ checking out all the documented effects... hmm ]

Have you tried mixing Siren Song and Dirt yet? Seems like that could be dangerous.

[ and FUN ]

[cavaliered]

[she's over here mixing drinks in her dragon kigu. this is bad, don't let her do this.]

[refate]

[ no, no. let her cook.

what's she mixing. ]

[eleusinia]

[ peekin over her shoulder ]

Whaaaat are you doing.

[awol]

[ no we let her do this we are fearless. ]

... No harm in practicing.

[psynchronise]

[ peers.


also does literally nothing to stop her. ]

[engineers]

[ not me realizing i didn't tag you at all last night and thats unacceptable

comes over here and peers over her shoulder... amused: ]

What sort of mad science are you up to over here, mixologist?

[refate]

[ if you get hungry while trying out these drinks, kon has set out some piping hot japanese baked sweet potatoes and steamed buns with a variety of fillings. there's some non-meat options, sweet and savory, the whole mile. because booze on an empty stomach in a cold resort sounds like a bad idea.

... this is not stopping him from mixing drinks tho.

(at some point, he does drink the furry drink. half because it tastes good, half because he's pondering what to mix it with. spot him looking like this for at least an hour, except in a fox kigu for redundancy.) ]

[awol]

[ it is a terrible idea actually, which is why jingheng is probably sitting at the cornermost part of the table just eating a potato with his dinosaur kigu hood drawn over his head.

at tiny fox kon ]

Cute...

[polyglotti]

[Oh. Yeah she'll take a baked sweet potato, yeah.

She's not too picky about the food available here, but like. She rarely gets excited about this food. But she's excited about potato.]

Thanks Kon! This looks good.

[She will be polite and not comment on him being an animal rn.]

[toyska]

[Makes a new comment under this top level purely to say that Childe's gonna spend the next three hours trying to fight people as a fox

I hope Gideon's extremely pleased by this outcome]

[nascens]

[who let this weird rat in]

[cavaliered]

[she absolutely is and you know what, she's going to drink the same combination and challenge him to a duel across the resort.

"why did you use this icon" i don't have cute fox fanart]

[bookpapers]

[becomes yandere over the fox im jk i don't want to do that]

[tearduct]

[shows up late with starbucks

So much is happening here that he doesn't know what to pay attention first, so instead he will have a drink as long as it's not dairy-based...]

Being with more people this time is really weird.

[psynchronise]

[ well. date is in a blue alpaca kigu, i'm also making up how the kigu zips up so i can say he has it unzipped enough to show he's got his new favourite t-shirt on.

he's just eyeballing the drinks thoughtfully, like he might be thinking about mixing them or chugging a few at once for the vine. ]

Think we could just love potion all the viewers into doing what we want? Love potion Satan? I'm open to suggestions.
