WEEK SIX MINGLE

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.

[City... Monika will smile politely at anyone she makes eye contact with, hello. What are the locals up to?]

[there's a familiar-looking girl walking around the city like she thinks she owns the place! she's not bundled up in winter clothing, this time, but her outfit is still very yellow. she's wearing sunglasses! ...but she pushes them up onto the top of her head and stares at monika.]

...what the heck? What are you doing here?

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-10 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
... Eh?

[Hello??? She doesn't have sunglasses to push up but she is absolutely rubbing her single eye like she can't believe what she's seeing.]

... Oh, my gosh. How are you here? Isn't this— Well, you were just at the resort yesterday.

[She thought this was a different world, the fuck.]

I should be asking you that. This is where my mom lives - she had me come after I told her all about Daddy making me stay at that weird ice murder hotel.

Oh. That's so sweet of your mom...

[no.]

[she's not a local so just yell at me if you want one instead of this stink elf

but you can catch lup coming out of an apartment! wow! does someone have their own room?? she waves at monika, looking much more put together than she did during sunday.]


Hey, chica.

[bold of you to assume i would ever turn down a free lup

Monika seems delighted to se her.]


Hi! [She gestures at the apartment she just came out of.] Did you finally get your own accommodations?

[lup gives her a big smile, at the very least.]

Sure, yeah. I mean, the Watchers finally felt sorry for me and gave me a place to stay, I don't know if that counts.

I mean, isn't that basically what they do for us? I say it counts.

Anyway... How are you feeling? I'm really sorry you got stuck with us the other day.

Oh, you know. Everything is fine.

[she says, like she wasn't losing her mind a little on sunday] I could've been trapped in a worse place.

[she just... casually leans against the wall.]

[Watching her with the look of someone who isn't buying it at all, but okay.]

Uhuh... [Doubt? But she'll let her have this and change the subject.] Now that I think about it, has anyone told you about the worlds we visited before you met us?

Not really. Why?

[Oh... She wanders over, curious to hear what she's playing.]
tibkins: I'll do anything to obtain it (Someday there'll be a statue of me)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-08 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[There certainly are locals around! Among them one taking a box of books to her car. Once she notices Monika, she flashes a cheerful grin]

Hello!

[Clearly this woman isn't one who hesitates to speak to random strangers on the street]
rerouter: (002)

[personal profile] rerouter 2021-11-10 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hi! [Monika smiles back, peering curiously at the box of books. She gestures at it.] New acquisitions?
tibkins: Shut up, we're going to have sex (You say I'm wildly irresponsible?)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-10 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, no! I wrote these! It's just a box full of stock to sign. That's marketing for you!

[She sounds so proud, taking one out she shows it, extending it to Monika:]

It's literature for childers, but it's real popular.

[The cover has a charming watercolor illustration of a hedgehog with chicken legs diving into an abyss. 'Tibkins and the Deep, Deep Trough', the title says]

Ohh... That's pretty amazing! How are your sales looking?
tibkins: You're a what now, Ryan? (Now you tell me your secrets)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-13 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Fingergun with one hand]

Good enough I can get away with shenanigans.

[Must be seriously awesome sales if she can do that, really. Agents and publishers could drop people like hot potatoes as long as they're not household names]

Besides, a city like this one is full of events and things that get one's creativity going. Such as...

[Her eyes wander to Monika's daemon. Oh. Her cheery disposition fades into some confusion while she tries to think of the right words to describe that someone like Monika is walking around with an animal you probably wouldn't be allowed to have with you]

...this?

[Monika follows her gaze... and then glances right back up with a smile.]

He's an emotional support animal.
