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.

NERAK

[malewife]

I would like to hear what we've found.

[ Joonghyuk will call out these:

Beyond Settlement (East) - Kim Kitsuragi, Kaeya Alberich, and Nero Turner
Ice Garden - Spike
Storage - Kaburagi Kotetsu and Herlock Sholmes ]

[sponsoredby]

In the storage, there was a locked box with a bunch of books inside of it. They were religious books and various pamphlets. They seemed pretty old. Materials about religion. Gods, angels, finding peace with yourself. The pamphlets were mainly about accepting differences with other beliefs and sharing spaces for worship.

[greatdeduction]

Yes, I can confirm. That's all we found, really. It was if they had been shoved away, not eager to be discarded, but clearly not used in some time.

Which is interesting, given the presence of the chapel, still.

Beyond Settlement (East)

[perfectdistance]

We went out to the East. Saw a couple different camps and some snare traps. Took a while, but we eventually saw smoke a great a ways off. We also traversed partway over a lake. There was a sunken boat of some kind. [He is looking at Kim. Nero does not know anything about boats. Help.] It had a hole blown into the hull.

The smoke was... the kind from destruction. But with the distance between us and the smell, it's hard to tell for sure. Could be a wild fire, or it could've been something else.

... Also there was a bear.

[voltadomar]

[He catches that look.]

It looked like a small military patrol boat. A lookout vessel, or something like that. Old and rusted. It probably sank quite some time ago.

[perfectdistance]

[A grateful look.

Thank you, Kim.]

[greatdeduction]

...

A bear?

[perfectdistance]

Yeah?

We had to back out 'cause it was gonna attack us.

[Pause]

I did try talkin' to it.

MINI-CYOA ORGANIZATION SIGNUPS WHATEVER

[malewife]

Again.

[ AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! ]

[yueshen]

[










tfw both of your usual exploration partners died last week :c ]

I'd very much like to explore some of the areas beyond the city center, if anyone would like to come with me, but I open to searching any others, too.

[rerouter]

What did you have in mind, Xie Lian?

[there, there...]

[arcsplainist]

Full glad I would be to join you, Xie Lian, if you are willing to have me.

[bloodyromance]

I can go. You're a bit too... y'know, to fully fit in with the more shady outskirts of town. Since that seems to be the general shape of things here.

[Whatever that y'know means, it's been lost to time.]

[perfectdistance]

[Nero, very bluntly.]

He looks like he'll get mugged.

[greatdeduction]

I will be willing to explore the church here in town some more, with its belltower, among other areas. Whoever would like to come with me, I would appreciate your abilities and skills.

[escardos]

I'll go!

[sponsoredby]

[ Sup, Sholmes. ]

If you've got room for one more, I wouldn't mind tagging along.

[lefthandpath]

I'll check into the concert hall. Maybe I can pass myself off as a performer?

[voltadomar]

I could come with you, I suppose...

[There's an aura of dread. But this is probably something he'd be good at.]

[afterword]

Just as I did with Camebit's castle library, I can search the library here for anything that might help.

[malewife]

... Someone please attend this man or he will be stuck in the library for this whole week.

[ Joonghyuk has more to do. ]
