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.

WATCHERS' POSSESSIONS

[arcsplainist]

Right, I should not forget this update.

Again, I would like to remind us all that every week, one of the two groups that vanish do so within a space that is, in a sense, still of this world. Within these spaces we are to locate an item that are belongings of the Watchers', and we are to return them once able. Back in Nerak, I had been informed that Rameel's were to be given to them.

So we are left with one more—Shamsiel's. That is, unless, we are given a second chance to retrieve Baraqiel's; unfortunately, we have yet to be given a way in which this is possible, but let us not lose hope on it just yet.

Nevertheless, should you find yourself whisked away—pray, above all else, be careful.

[lefthandpath]

I can confirm Rameel's have been handed over.

[the stubborn idiot.]

[arcsplainist]

[ That face... ]

Thank you. 'Tis a relief to have it confirmed.

[lefthandpath]

[it's Rameel, what did we expect]

[yueshen]

I will find a way to retrieve Baraqiel's, even if I have to tear down their false heavenly authority from the Heavens myself by his heels and force him to submit to my request with my sword.



[

honesty week be like ]

[arcsplainist]

[ sisi your line breaks. xl your anger. ]

And I too wish to find a way. The issue is... finding that way. Have you any thoughts, Xie Lian?

[yueshen]

[ short of threatening god? nop but thats okay!! he WILL cause problems right in front of god's salad until he can find a way there!!!!! ]

It is - [ he pauses, shuts his mouth, like he wants to say something and has to reword it. ]

... I know precisely what place it is. Down to the realm that it exists in. Perhaps having such exacting coordinates will help.

[arcsplainist]

So you believe the problem is not that the Watchers do not have the ability to open a path to that place, period, but that they currently cannot because they know not where to lead us?

[yueshen]

When we disappear - when I disappeared to the Catacombs, and when others have as well, the Watchers have described it as that we are "here, but not here". They can sense that we are alive, but they cannot find us.

[ so... maybe! ] I can't imagine it would be so easy to find such a place to return to them, if they cannot find us when we were in them. Right?

[arcsplainist]

Indeed. It certainly would help if we knew precisely where to search, yet it does not necessarily mean we have the means to return.

[yueshen]

Mm. I could go by myself...

[ no? bad? ]

... but, that would not solve anything, likely. [ maybe he has learned a small lesson ] I will continue searching tirelessly for an answer to your query, Alphinaud.

[malewife]

[ violent gay agenda ]

[yueshen]

[ platonic feral ]

[bloodyromance]

He's pretty attractive. Good for you.

[yueshen]

[ SPIKE ]

...I'm sorry, what?

[bloodyromance]

Well, you've got feelings for him.

[It's not a question.]

[yueshen]

[ why this. he is effectively starting to turn red though like a big baby. ]

His being attractive or not does not make it any less important to help him! And - besides, it is far more complicated than that!

[bloodyromance]

No, I get it.

[So in other words, yes you do.]

Just congratulating you, mate. No need to take it personal.

[greatdeduction]

[SNORTS INTO HIS BOBA TEA]

[aono]

[XL cool your jets dude]

Yeah, we'll find a way. But uh, without the swords and the threatening I think. We don't need that part yet.

[yueshen]

[ xie lian, the gentlest, calmest flower holding prince: ]

I have grown terribly impatient with waiting. I have no qualms with fighting God myself if that is what it comes down to. I think the god of this realm is a coward.

[ also has absolutely no chill at all ]

[aono]

...

[Just. Handing Xie Lian a Sn*ckers.]

[yueshen]

[ ????

he will

put it in his sleeve? thank you ]

[aono]

Eat it. It'll help.

[You're not you when you're hungry.]

[veraltwin]

[And y'all got mad at her for shoving a guy.]
