WEEK ZERO - MINGLE


Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's a beautiful day here in Hell and you're not gonna get anywhere by sleeping in all morning. After a rocky weekend, you may be finding yourself still trying to make sense of everything. Like…you're dead. Isn't that still so crazy? Wow!

But don't wallow about it. It's time to embrace your new afterlife and take a look at the world around you. You can look outside the windows of your dormitory and see that the reddish sun has risen a little higher in the sky. There's no cheerful sound of birds chirping or anything of the sort. You only have each other right now.

Venturing downstairs, you'll find that the front door has finally unlocked and you're able to step outside. The air is hot, a blast of warm air directly smacking you in the face as your feet step onto the dry, barren wasteland stretching ahead of you. Little cracks and fissures appear under your feet as you walk, glowing crimson as the heat follows after you. But it's worth exploring, don't you think?

For any of you who immediately make a break for the dock, you'll be happy to hear that there isn't a ferry at the moment. You can see the faint outlines of islands in the distance, but you have no chance of heading out to any of them just yet. Boo. Oh well. There's plenty of places to look around on this island. You didn't exactly get a grand tour yesterday, so take the opportunity to look around and get to know the lay of the land.

Maybe you're the chatty type who wants to get to know everyone else around you. Or maybe you're the type who just wants to mind their own damn business and expects everyone else to, too. No matter what though, as you go through your daily activities over the course of the week you will find that on occasion you will be compelled to tell a lie or spread a rumor about another new resident. You might tell a stranger your new roommate has cute underwear with little bunnies on it. Perhaps you'll tell someone else that the person across the street was programmed with the most tragic backstory on account of being a cyborg. There's no limit to how real or outlandish these stories are.

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

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.

Good luck!



Good morning everybody, and welcome to your week zero mingle! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is a rumor mill! Characters will feel compelled to lie or gossip about other characters at various times, or whenever the rule of funny applies.

-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.

Wouldn't they want strong spirits for that? [Surely it would be easier to eliminate the lightweights with like. Vodka? Ale?? Strong wine???]

[personal profile] polyglotti 2023-02-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I am definitely taller than 160cm.

[personal profile] engineers 2023-02-08 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely.

Wow, you guys haven't loaded up our phones with tracking apps? I just sort of assumed that would be the case.

Guess
toyska: by <user name="optimisty"> (It's a long way down)

[personal profile] toyska 2023-02-08 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. I'm sorry you didn't get the chance. [He means that, too--very little takes precedence over family, as far as he's concerned.]

I'm immortal so that probably helped



Well
Was immortal, I guess
failbo: (But doesn't that mean)

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-08 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
look do that if you want i guess

[It's not like he can stop it from happening, he guesses. Unfortunately. Part of him still feels the kind of recent desire to just...roll over and accept it, to avoid confrontation, but he still sends that.

.......

ten seconds later, another message]


roses about that

[Predictably enough, a third:]

i meant sorrjh

[Filbo doesn't bother sending a clarification]

[happy that scara's happy... me that is, lavi is not]

Hey, that's personal demon territory.

[though if they let people intern then lavi would do it because he's annoying...]

I used to be able to summon fire. I've been real up close and personal with it a buncha times.

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-08 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
None of them are doing their jobs anyway, so we might as well.

[Join him in throwing someone off the dock for fun and profit, Lavi! It'll be a great bonding experience!

Anyway he's just like "lmao".]


Oh? It's not an easy way to die. Are you a sadist?
bookpapers: (jokester)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-08 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[scara.... his nose wrinkles a little like he's not sure whether to laugh or not. why is the only way to level up in friendship with violent tinies is to commit violence]

Trust me, it's the easiest.

[WAY TO DIE?]

But before you get excited, I gotta tell you that I fight monsters, and they're way tougher than the average human.
tearduct: (pic#16182668)

[personal profile] tearduct 2023-02-08 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
his horns? i didnt try

i just know they are fake
nascens: (taiyangshou)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-08 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Violence is the language they speak...]

You sound sure of it. [HE'S JUST ASSUMING HE MEANT "WAY TO DIE". Anyway, with a light laugh:]

How disappointing. [He does not sound surprised.] Do the monsters in your world cook the same way that a human would?
toyska: (You get everything you want)

[personal profile] toyska 2023-02-08 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Right, right. I see them around cities a lot. [Dutifully, he hands the cat back to Tuuri!] Not as much in Snezhnaya, but in the warmer countries.
bookpapers: (arms up)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-08 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[(office meme) stop talking about cooking]

Yeah, 'cept they melt in the end. Skin burns, but they don't have soft bits, just metal all the way through.
nascens: (polaris)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-08 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[HE WILL NOT.

He does laugh again at that, though. It's a rough-edged sound.]


Is that what a monster looks like to the humans you know?
bookpapers: (head scratch)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-08 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[WHY U LAUGHING....

lavi glances over at scaramouche, curious]


To us, yeah. To humans they look just like normal people.
nascens: (taiyangshou)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-08 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
[wouldn't you like to know weather boy]

The biggest threat to humans usually do wear human faces. [Sasuga! All worlds are the same.] You aren't considered human, then? Are you a monster instead?
bookpapers: (jokester)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-08 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
[lavi makes a little face, the kind of face someone would make when they said something meant to be totally innocuous and their weird classmate pounces on the phrasing,]

Exorcist.

[but also like not totally disagreeing with what Scara said]

We've got no way of telling who's who before they transform, so we gotta assume that everyone's the enemy.
nascens: (cebalrai)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-08 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[STOP WHO WOULDN'T POUNCE ON THAT PHRASING a less weird classmate probably.]

It sounds like a smart way to live.

[DON'T YOU KNOW, LAVI??? YOU COULD BE BETRAYED BY ANYONE AT ANY MOMENT. Betrayal... It's always lurking around the corner...]
