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.

[Hello LGBTQ Community! (Goro Akechi voice)]

[it's like 9 AM and lup just grabs his jacket and hands him a hot dog and a bottle of beer]

This place is wild.

It's certainly a lot more modern than anything we've seen thus far. Wonder if there's a reason why the cities that we move to seem to gradually get more and more lively as we go...

[He takes the hot dog and the beer, cracking open the beer with his slightly vampy teeth and taking a big sip.]

Still! Good to still have you with us. Wouldn't be the same without you.

Edited 2021-11-08 22:19 (UTC)

[she is so amused by the way he cracks open the beer? holy shit. incredible.]

I've never really seen anything like this. [and then she winks at him, grinning.] Aw, thanks. Flattery will get you everywhere.

I'm glad to be here, honestly.

[He grins back.]

Well, good thing it'll be a new experience then. Anywhere you want to see first?

[she tilts her head back, thinking.]

You know, I've never seen a movie in a movie theater before. That might be fun.

Good choice. I've been starved for TV since we were up and stolen away, so that sounds like a brilliant idea.

Let's go find one then, shall we?

[he's probably got his hands full but lup doesn't seem to care very much. she holds out a hand? waggles her fingers. she likes holding hands, sue her.]

Okay, tell me about TV. We had none of that in Otamo. I feel like I've been missing some primo brainrot.

[

just. staring at him.]

Why are you here, ramen-head? Are you stalking me?!

[He sees her and just starts laughing.]

I just wanna know what brand of orange spray tan that is! And what eyeshadow it is you're overapplying and making yourself look all moldy!

And also I had absolutely no say in this so I guess you're just joining us now. [Wait, he didn't want to say that.]

Edited 2021-11-08 22:37 (UTC)

Joining you? What do you mean, joining you? I live here! I was just at that stupid hotel because Daddy has terrible taste in resorts!

[she stomps her foot.]

And you wouldn't know fashion if it smacked you in the face!

I guess I wouldn't. Maybe if someone fashionable and not dressed like a sunburnt lemon would show me, we could test that.

Right, and you got here how? [He raises an eyebrow.] They have an airport back there at the ice hotel?

Who are you calling a sunburnt lemon?!

[sorry she's

not answering that question. she's just glaring at him for that insult.]

...You? I would've thought that'd be pretty sodding obvious.

Also, answer the question.

I don't look like that. Get your eyes checked.

[

now she's just not answering him to piss him off.]

[ wow, how did you know that this local busker is gay?? that's amazing!!!! ]

[He canonically has a radar for these things, sorry. Have a bottlecap ma'am.]

[ she gives him a smile and nod! ]

Thanks.

How's business?

[Chat with your local lesbian buskers today.]

[Hello!]

I have a question to ask.

[She eyes the inevitable daemon. Yup, definitely this guy is with the rest]

... And I may have an answer for you, yoooou...

[He's trying to figure out if he knows this woman.]

Have we met?

Certainly not. I'd remember meeting someone accompanied by an animal everywhere -- or daemon, as they apparently are called.

[Nope! Just one resident more of this city! One that has been spending the day meeting all these strangers who look like they looted a zoo or something]

Really wish I wasn't. He's bloody annoying. [Erastis, from his position on the floor, despite being a very big lynx, curls into himself and whines pitifully.]

Stupid sod.

What's up, what's your question?

[Few people would say their wild animal companion is an annoying, stupid sod. She seems a tad puzzled for a moment]

Why did you all come to the city all of a sudden?

[It's been so surreal that, one day, there's this bunch who are going all over the place like they don't stand out like sore thumbs. A lot happens in the big city! But this? This is unprecedented, as far as she knows]

Didn't have much of a choice, did we?

Welcome to the multiverse's worst roadtrip. You're our seventh stop yet.
