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.

[she jumps up in an attempt to snatch the sunglasses off his face]

First we're throwing these in the trash where they belong.

[He'll allow her to do that, pouting a little.]

They're perfectly good sunglasses...do you have to?

Are you blind? They make you look like a clown.

...

Do clowns wear sunglasses in this world...?

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-08 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
If they did, they'd wear the kind you're wearing. Come on.

[


anyway, she's dragging him into a designer sunglasses shop and calling over an employee.]


Help this man find something that doesn't look utterly ridiculous on him.

Hello, sir. Thank you for your services...

[A little bow to the employee, who raises an eyebrow. Sholmes leans over to Chloe.]

They really have a whole store for sunglasses?
beeingnice: (005)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-08 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[chloe just looks the employee dead in the eye and snaps her fingers.]

I don't think my mother, the editor of Style Queen magazine, would be very happy if you didn't find him something that suits him...

[that apparently means something to this employee, who gets to work looking for sunglasses. while they're busy with that, she glances up at sholmes, then looks smug.]

Of course there is. If you're going to get good stuff, it has to be from a store that specializes in making them.

[He's. Surprised at the level of power this girl has. Oh, she must be a noble! That explains everything.]

You truly do have power among these parts, my dear girl. I am rather impressed by your status.

[smugly:]

My mother could ruin these people if they crossed her, so they know better than to cross me.
greatdeduction: (the blue carbuncle)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-09 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Goodness.

[Scary? Scary.]

You said she was head of a fashion magazine? She must be a busy woman!
beeingnice: (003)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-09 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's only the most influential fashion magazine in the industry. One negative review from her and this place is finished.

So they'll be sure to find you the perfect pair of sunglasses!
greatdeduction: (the bruce-partington plans)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-09 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[DEFINITELY SCARY.]

[But he's nodding!]


I do thank you, truly. I am excited to see what glasses I am to try!
beeingnice: (005)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-09 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[she's bad but her mom is canonically even worse


anyway, the employee comes back with a selection of sunglasses.]


Don't bother looking at the prices. Just try some on.
greatdeduction: (Default)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-09 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Dollars...

[He has. No idea if these are expensive or not. He is British (derogatory).]

[But he'll try the Havana sunglasses first!]


Hm? How is it?
beeingnice: (022)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-10 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[she considers those...]

They're not as bad as before, but I don't really like how they look on your face. Try another shape.
beeingnice: (016)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-10 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a little better...
greatdeduction: (Default)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-10 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Not quite, no? Is it the color? The shape?
beeingnice: (022)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-10 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
The color... it blends in a little too much with the rest of your outfit. I think you need darker lenses.
beeingnice: (Default)

[personal profile] beeingnice 2021-11-11 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's much better. You look, like, marginally cooler now.
greatdeduction: (the veiled lodger)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-11 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what being cold has to do with anything, but I will take it as a compliment!
