WEEK SIX MINGLE

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.

[ Akira fits in here more than he has with any other city, which is nice for a change. He had just walked over to see what people were gawking at from a distance and ah, figures.

He raises his voice and walks over with purposeful strides, staring down the gawkers. ]


Five bucks if you want a picture.

[ Blink, he did not expect that to work the way it did but sure. ]

Thanks, go ahead. [ Waving the first paying customer onward. He honestly figured he would just scare people off because he is goth and very tall, but hey this works too.

Akira plants himself next to Xie Lian, but not close enough to ruin the picture. He is now a bouncer! ]


I guess I did. I was just trying to get them off of you, but this works. Unless you wanna steal stuff here?

[ truly incredible. akira is now making bank! the tourist comes up to pose with him, and xie lian will smile, even if he looks still a little startled and also like he's not sure if he's going to laugh or cry. ]

I - no! Of course not. [ xie lian, anti theft narc. ] Um, why are they asking for this kind of thing...? Is this normal...?

They like how you're dressed, pretty much. My little sister would want to take a picture with you too if she were around. [ It is OK Xie Lian, now that you have security you probably don't need to worry about awkward proposals or something like that! ]

Well... I don't mind too much, then. [ oh... it's cute when akira talks about his little sister? pure. and besides, the people do look pretty happy about it!

xie lian gives him a little smile, grateful, as a little girl comes running up to him to take his picture and cooes - princess! a real princess!!

...

[ There's something which almost sounds like a laugh from Akira. ]

That too. [ He crouches down so he's not looming because why is he so tall. ]

A prince. Guys can wear pretty clothes too.

[ xie lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, for like the tenth time in this thread. the little girl looks at him, up and down, and then at akira....

and then asks are you a prince, too?

...pfft. ]
I think he certainly could be, don't you? [ to the little girl. ] He was certainly as gallant as one just now.
