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.

Yes, that's true. [He would gladly give up the chance to ever see his family again if it meant keeping them safe and sound elsewhere.

But this is a line of thought he doesn't much want to dwell on right now, so he smiles and pats them on the shoulder.]


We were talking about cooking, though. Do you enjoy it too?
failbo: I've been so good (I've been helpful and friendly)

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-09 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
Well, uh...guess the demons in charge here are gonna get plenty of that. Everything seems to be made to really cause misery...even if it's with minor inconveniences.

[Minor enough they're just annoying, but, well, is living in constant annoyance much better than being outright miserable all the time?]
failbo: (Why are you asking me why?)

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-09 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, uh, not for one. For six, I suppose.

[He shrugs]

Things are a little bit awkward, what with...you know, the situation we're in right now? And I'm pretty sure about half of them aren't exactly thrilled about having to deal with it either, so... [Based on their personalities, at least] May as well try to go with something so I'm not outright destroyed where I stand?

[Have you seen their size, Mephisto? Have you seen how kind of surly a couple of them are? This is a valid concern, in his opinion...and, well, it also is partly fueled by his very much ingrained fear he feels at this canon point about being hated, so that doesn't help either, hah]

This place is basically a demon buffet, yeah. Seems a bit unnecessary to even have a Hell, given that there's no shortage of misery in the living world.
psynchronise: lifts lowe up so high. my saviour. (Default)

[personal profile] psynchronise 2023-02-09 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
What statement?? Do you normally choke people out for laughing?
failbo: (where the hell is the karma?)

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-09 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah...there sure is.

[Can't disagree there, pal]

Causing misery on all of us by giving really watered down beer when we have to gain a resistance to alcohol. We got the odds stacked against us!

[And not everyone is a large blue creature who, by virtue of his size, already has some advantage due to needing more alcohol to begin feeling buzzed. Best of luck, everyone else!]
failbo: And I've been so good, (l've been so good this year)

B

[personal profile] failbo 2023-02-09 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
...only if you go first.

[Scaramouche, you can't just ask random people if they want to take a dip into the sea of lava and die! Filbo is far less casual than he was during the prison cell, apparently making an effort to be more formal when talking to Scaramouche]

bookpapers: (everyone: shut up lavi)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-09 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh he thought scaramouche would blast him for not trusting humans]

Sometimes it's the only way.

[because if they don't do that they'll DIE. he grins sidelong at scara]

Gotta be on my guard, just in case someone out there wants to push me into a pool of lava.

[personal profile] anothen 2023-02-09 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose if I dress like one and look like one, that would make me a greek dude, yes.

I'm guessing the attire and laurels are uncommon where you're from?

I... don't know. I've never been able to cook before.

I'd like to try it.

[i got the gag tag after instead of before it made me laugh]

[ greek dude ]

The afterlife transcends time and space, apparently. That isn't something I considered... None of the Shades I've met at home have led me to believe the surface has changed so much from the stories I've been told.

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[no he'll blast lavi for other things.]

Is that a challenge?

[Is he being CHALLENGED!! He will find a way to push Lavi into the lava. He will Win.]
nascens: (suhail)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE CAN AND HE WILL!!!! He answer seems to amuse him, considering he smiles about it.]

I already know what would happen if I did. The point of it is to experience something new!
bookpapers: (lenalee... wails)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-09 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP]





No...?
nascens: (karaka)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It sounds like a challenge to me.

[Taking a little sliding step closer...]
bookpapers: (spit it out)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-09 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[takes a sliding step BACK]

Quit it.
nascens: (rotanev)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is about as effective as trying to tell your cat that they aren't allowed to be on the couch.]

You look so nervous! There's nothing to be worried about.
bookpapers: (wowee)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-09 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you saying I should trust you?

[onion cats except instead of onions on the floor it's the burnt remains of lavi]
nascens: (mirach)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[HELP yeah that's soon to be them.]

I think you should probably trust your instincts.
bookpapers: (jokester)

[personal profile] bookpapers 2023-02-09 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[sweet release of sweet death...]

It's telling me that you're playing around, but playing for you means actually throwing me in.
nascens: (equuleus)

[personal profile] nascens 2023-02-09 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[lmao]

Not too bad, I guess. [Good instincts, Lavi!] Though I'll have to take some points off for still standing within arm's reach.

[Kitty go mjah, but Tuuri has her now.]

Oh? I'm surprised, I would have thought longhair cats would be right at home in the cold. Unless Snezhnaya is much further north than I'm imagining.
