WEEK SIX MINGLE

[grigori]

kings: week 6 mingle the big orange

22 Remain

Another week, another world to explore. Once again, waking brings you to unfamiliar surroundings, the bitter touch of Nerak cold fading to the more mild weather of autumn. The sound of cars or people talking or faint music greets your ears, no matter the time of day or night, and the light pollution is intense. Hope you weren't counting on seeing the stars.

Welcome to Kings, where you'll have your pick of shopping, entertainment, cute date spots, or just about anything else that you can think of! The city has something to offer for everyone. You'll never be wanting for things to do here - just try not to get lost in the subways. The locals may not be the most willing to help out.



Waiting for you to join them in the main plaza of Star Circle are Baraqiel, Shamsiel, and Suriel. You might have to push your way through the crowds to reach them properly, but no one's blinking an eye at your Watchers today. There are other people in costume hanging around already. What's a few angels to add to the antics?

Suriel greets everyone with their usual cheerful smile, fox daemon pressed close to their ankles to avoid getting lost in the crowd. "I bet this world reminds a bunch of you of home, huh? Let's all make the most of it while we're here!"

Baraqiel heaves a sigh, daemon weasel-formed and half-hidden in the folds of their hood as it suspiciously squints at every noise its little ears pick up. "Speak for yourself." They do not seem 100% thrilled with this worldhop, come the new week, but do at least offer something to the travelers gathered. "For those of you less used to cities like this, there are motorized vehicles of varying sizes in Kings - try not to get run over by them."

With a soft laugh, Shamsiel will look at Baraqiel and gently pat them on their upper arm and their falconet daemon will then proceed to take flight from their shoulder. At least they seem to be relieved that Baraqiel gave them a warning for those who aren't going to be familiar with it. "And much like the previous worlds we've been to, please be mindful of what you end up doing here. We are just visitors, after all, and it'd be rude if we left it all a mess."


As for your effect of the week... Your past injuries have cleared, with no phantom pains left to haunt you, your loved ones, or your launders. Instead, you'll find that you are unable to speak dishonestly - any time you try, your words get stuck on the tip of your tongue and never quite make it out. It's honesty week, lads - no more lying to yourselves or anyone else.

Talk to Shamsiel

[grigori]

[ unlike the other week where shamsiel had made themselves sparse, they are out and about exploring the city. they won't be navigating the city with the ease of one of the locals but they won't be afraid of anything that may seem a bit foreign to others. cars? traffic lights? no worries here! however, they will make sure that their wings are decidedly tucked away from view.

some of the places where they'll end up frequenting the most will be some of the smaller stores in the star circle and the concert hall. their daemon will not be seen with them but can be spotted not too terribly far away perched elsewhere. ]

[greatdeduction]

[He looks around as he approaches, smiling - the Star Circle really is a pretty bustling place!]

I'm sure this must be a rather exciting place for you, my dear fellow.

[grigori]

[ it sure is!!! and they greet him with a smile. ]

It reminds me of home, actually. Maybe not as busy, but a lot like it.

[greatdeduction]

Oh, how nice for you. To be in a location so familiar...

[It makes sense, somehow.]

What have you done so far? It's quite a busy place!

[grigori]

Not too much. I've mainly taken a look at the stores and looked at the sweets actually.

[ sometimes you just wanna see what the street food is all about. ]

How about you, Mr. Sholmes?

[greatdeduction]

Sweets? Ah, we have a sweet tooth in our midst.

[He smirks, amused.]

I feel most distracted, in a bustling city like this. For the most part, I have been visiting the shops around here. They provide all sorts of things I've never seen before.

[grigori]

Caught red-handed!

[ with a laugh. ]

I imagine this place is much different than the London you'd know. Are there particular ones that catch your eye the most? If you like gatchery, I'm sure there are stores with those funny things.

[bloodyromance]

[Oh hey, it's the Watcher he bullied in week zero. As he's walking past, he sees them lingering in a music shop he'd gone to pick through, looking for something resembling the Ramones or Guns N Roses.]

Alright?

[grigori]

[ it sure is. and they'll stop by seeing the two bands as well and just nod at his choices. understandable and he would be the type. ]

Hm? Alright?

[bloodyromance]

[He shakes his head. Nobody here is English enough.]

It's an extremely generic greeting. Like, "are you alright" except without the premise that I actively care about how you are. [Honesty week be like.] Like, "what's up" if you're sodding American.

You were missing the last time it was your team's turn to show up. Haven't seen you in a couple weeks now, have we?

[grigori]

Oh! I see.

[ they are definitely not english but they appreciate what he's saying here even if it's in the most round about way possible. ]

...but that's correct, yes. It certainly has been a while since I've made an appearance. Not that it was entirely intentional, of course. I just had to take care of a few things.

[bloodyromance]

So... it coinciding with Yukio's death was a coincedence?

[He raises an eyebrow.]

Dunno if that's insensitive. You seemed to take it pretty hard.

[grigori]

Yes...though what Suriel said about giving me time wasn't false, and perhaps I did take harder than I should have.

[ ... .... ]

H, however, I'm fine now and here this week to spend time with anyone openly.

[powerplay]

Crepes. Do they have crepes here?

[ When in the big city, do as the big citiers do. ]

[grigori]

[ that's a valid thing to do, but hell yeah street food. ]

They do! They have all different kinds.

[powerplay]

Then we must get one immediately! Finally, we are in a place that really speaks to me!

[ It's been like two months. She wants the city pleasures and you're coming with whether you like it or not. ]

[grigori]

Okay!

There are some particular cafes that caught my attention—like those fancier ones where they make the crepe in the window.

[ valid of her and now they can go towards said cafe because it is just nice to be in a place where you can just find the things that you're used to seeing. ]

[powerplay]

Yes! I like the sound of this!

[ Your hand is mine and we are going straight to a crepe window. Hope the public doesn't mind that Power has no manners and will just press right up against the window to watch when they get there. ]

Are you used to the big city as well?!

[grigori]

[ that's fine; she may have their hand as they muscle their way through the city and to the place that they had mentioned. while power might not say anything, shamsiel will politely excuse the behavior... which goes okay. ]

I am. The city where I'm from is much bigger than this one, or, well, it feels like that. I'm not sure how many people actually live here.

[bloodread]

[ Once he's settled in, the concert hall is one of the places Akira wastes no time in checking out. ]

Gonna see a show?

[grigori]

That's my plan!

[ they'll take a seat not exactly next to him but close enough. respecting his space!! ]

Do you think it'll be good?

[bloodread]

[ They are a good. ]

As long as it's not country, yeah. It's been forever since I've been to one of these.

[grigori]

[ they try to be mindful always. ]

I never quite understood country music; I've heard it's extremely popular, though.

Maybe it's the message?

[bloodread]

Do you believe in God?

[ He feels like that's all country is... ]

[grigori]

Eh?

[ i. this will be the most interesting question answered. ]

...um...no, not after everything here.
