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.

[ She looks up. Excuse me, Power.exe loading... ]

Oh, yes, when I discovered and undid an evil ploy to kill my friend and take his heart?! 'Twas a success if I ever saw one!

[greatdeduction]

...

[Opens his mouth.]

[Closes his mouth.]

[...]

A man still very much died. Which could happen again.

[powerplay]

But it was an assassin! If I hadn't gotten him first, he was totally gonna kill my friend! And who knows how many more other people?!

[greatdeduction]

You didn't know he was an assassin at the time, Miss Devil. Please do not kid yourself.

[powerplay]

[ . . .

Okay fine this one works for honesty week. ]

That doesn't change he was an assassin though?

[greatdeduction]

[Snaps his fingers.]

Lucy coincidence was on your side, my dear girl.

[powerplay]

Yes, all's well that ended well!

[ Always a positive twist to eveyrthing (?!). Including the man who has surreptitiously climbed into his car while Sholmes was distracting Power and just. Steps on the gas. There he go. ]

-- Oh. He's gone.

[greatdeduction]

Yes. All's well that ends well.

[A pause. ALSO LUCKY. NOT LUCY. WOW]

Do you know how to ride anything else besides a car, Miss Devil? Like a bicycle?

[powerplay]

[ Ssshdhfdhf I legitimately did not even notice the typo at all, god. ]

A bike? ...No. I've never ridden one.

[greatdeduction]

Do you want to learn how to?

[powerplay]

...Yes!

[greatdeduction]

Then...let's! I shall show you! Another skill for Miss Devil to learn!

[powerplay]

[ BABY'S FIRST BICYCLE?! ]

I shall master it in the blink of an eye! If I can drive, how hard can riding a bicycle be?! It's just a lesser car!

[greatdeduction]

Not...quite! No! But I believe in you, my dear madam.

Let's find one. I saw some around the corner.

[powerplay]

[ Bitch yes it is a lesser car and she can't be convinced otherwise yet. She will eagerly bounce after Sholmes though and away from the curb, clearly already having forgotten about the car fiasco. ]

Yes, there's many around! Like outside the cafe! [ Rental or steal a bicycle, up for debate. ]

[greatdeduction]

[He's looking over the little station before inserting some coins, and...!]

A bicycle! For us! [And he's rolling it over in the direction of the park.] More space over there to practice, my dear madam.

[powerplay]

[
(Fig. A: Power is the dad.) ]

'Tis indeed a bicycle! [ And she, who acts like she knows everything, immediately grabs it by the handles and RUNS WITH THE BIKE TO THE PARK. ]

[greatdeduction]

Oh! Hold up, Miss Devil! Wait for meeeeee!


[technically she doesn't know how to but

]

[powerplay]

[ She'd choose to run with it even if she did. Here she goes off, laughing like a maniac with the bicycle. ]

Time shall wait for no one!! Bike lessons, too!

[ Running all the way to the park, as you do. But here they are finally, and she gets there first, trying to see if she can throw a leg over the seat to ride it. But she just can't get the balance exactly right. ]
