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.

[A lad's back in comfortable attire (is this really more comfy than a jumpsuit, jury's out) and Generally Bruised (also more bruised than after Friday because sometimes things happen), but he is still managing to look so goddamn haughty even when he's standing next to a model planet that dwarfs his dumb ass. It truly is a skill, being so short and yet constantly giving off the impression that he's looking down on everyone and everything.
Speaking of, whenever anyone happens to mosey in, he's just knocking on one of the larger scale models with his knuckles. He'll pause only to briefly peer their way.]
I wonder how much damage these could do.
[IN WHAT WAY.]
b - the great outdoors;
[For anyone who wants to explore the absolutely terrible outdoor areas here, you may eventually stumble into a little lad who's just vibin on the dock! As you do. He's really just standing there like it's a normal dock and not a dock in hell extended out through lava. The high temperature doesn't seem to particularly bother him, and he surveys the distant shapes with a sort of half-assed interest.
If anyone's wild enough to just be meandering around near their lava shores, he'll just vaguely gesture out to sea(??).]
Want to see if it's as hot as it looks?
[He's probably...joking......... Hm.]
wildcard;
[hit me with whatever or tap me for pcs, im good with anything!]
no subject
Why is violence your first thought?
no subject
BEAMS!!
The way this would be a genuinely cute expression on anyone else, or at least on anyone who didn't follow it up with:]
If we're going to be suffering for eternity together, we might as well indulge in a little violence, don't you think?
no subject
[ WHY ARE ALL THE DUDES HERE LIKE THIS ]
no subject
Also sadists but mostly meatheads.]
You don't think it would be even a little entertaining to see someone running away from- [KNOCKS ON THE WORLD ORB. The worb.] -this?
no subject
Not really!
no subject
You should learn to live a little.
[Haha get it, the dead jokes, he's on board with them now that he's done being furious about them.]
b
he looks at the lava.... hmm....]
Nope, I can tell it's hot just by standing here.
no subject
Just kidding he's actually in a pretty good mood. It may or may not be because he's imagining how funny it would be to push Lavi off of the dock into the lava.]
You aren't curious about whether or not that skin of yours would melt right off?
no subject
It wouldn't melt. I'd just burst into flame, the soft parts of my body would start cookin', and then finally my teeth and bones would turn to ash.
[here's some more content for ur fantasy scaramouche]
no subject
That's a fine familiarity. Have you already pushed someone in?
no subject
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.
no subject
[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?
no subject
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
Yeah, 'cept they melt in the end. Skin burns, but they don't have soft bits, just metal all the way through.
no subject
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?
no subject
lavi glances over at scaramouche, curious]
To us, yeah. To humans they look just like normal people.
no subject
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?
no subject
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.

[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]
no subject
I already know what would happen if I did. The point of it is to experience something new!
no subject
[He stops and takes out a noteboook, browing until he finds what he was looking for. He frowns a little because his pawriting made it hard to read, and says it a little bit wrong:]
...ah, Sir Lord of All Wisdom.
[Yeah, he's being so formal right now because he saw that really long title and just went 'welp this guy is seriously important'. He really is behaving like he's in the presence of some faraway figure that Filbo probably is unworthy to talk to]
no subject
No need. Titles are cumbersome in hell.
[There's something terrible about being called sir lord of all wisdom when he couldn't even open a jail cell door... But his own scowly bad mood aside:]
Why have you fallen into lava before?
[He has to ask... He doesn't bother asking about being set on fire considering Filbo started the jail fire.]
no subject
Oh, thank grump, I was freaking out for days about how to even juggle everyone's titles.
[Why does like half of the people here need to have titles. It's bad enough that from the point I took him from he's nervous enough about being hated he would pretty much feel like he's walking on eggshells 24/7, now everyone seems to be these big important people and he knows nothing about formalities]
Well, um, back before I died I was in this expedition on an island, and a part had this stream of lava on the beach, going all the way to the sea. I kinda tripped.
[........]
That didn't kill me, by the way, once I put out that fire I just came out of it with a bit of singed fur.
['surviving things that would kill others', or something like that, his profile says. Filbo suffered a few situations in canon and I'd bet anything a million more out of the span the game showed]
