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.

[As with last week, Alisaie's going to stand up and head to the front again (why does this keep happening!!!), arms folded as she looks out at all of them.]

I've two things to address today. [Which I, Abi, am splitting into two tags bc hahahahaha :')]

The first has to do with our journey into the Garden of Eden, which I detailed last week. At that time I stated that Uriel had asked us to find where "it" might be born anew.

"It" did not refer to the Kingdom of Heaven. "It" referred to something more tangible than that.

[She nods toward Rin.]

[At the nod, Rin holds up what appears to be a cutting from a tree of some sort. The entire thing looks petrified though, leaves and all.]

Uriel cut this off of the tree that was growing in the Garden and gave it to us. They told us that the Lord Regent must not get it no matter what. And uh, I'm guessing they explained a lot more about it to Alisaie and Van Zieks too.

[Since he. Was not there for that part. But he'll leave it open for Alisaie to add any more details there.]

We're supposed to find somewhere new to plant this. When we plant it in the right place, it'll start growing. And until then, we have to keep it safe. The Lord Regent tried to kill us to get to it.

[But even though the cutting is petrified, it still feels alive. There's an energy to it that can't be denied--it's ancient, but somehow it's persisted.]

To my understanding, they had been nurturing this cutting from the Tree of Knowledge for millennia--since the original fall of the Garden.

They had used their own essence to ensure it did not die before it could be given to us.

Do we have any clues as to where is the "somewhere new" this must be planted?

All we got was that it should be somewhere that it can grow, and we need to be very careful about the spot we pick. Maybe someone else got a clue about that?
