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.

[quiz]

[ Oh boy who is the npc she’s gonna pretend to be her bff so she can ignore a rando. But also hi. ]

[beeingnice]

[hewwo. is reze wearing anything from nerak? can chloe grab her and force her onto a shopping spree for better clothes? because she's hardcore judging any nerak merch.]

[quiz]

[ You KNOW she’s a 90’s girl who also has her Nerak merch on with the shirt tucked in.

Now get her out of it. ]

[beeingnice]

Uuuuughhhh. Why are so many of you wearing stuff from that stupid hotel?

[she's just. strolling over, grabbing reze by the wrist, and pulling her down the street toward a designer clothes store.]

Let's get you something halfway decent to wear.

[quiz]

Huh? Did you hate the place that much? [ Reze seems genuinely confused, canting her head slightly. Still, she's allowing her to just... tug her over -- does this mean free clothes?? ]

[beeingnice]

[it does in fact mean free clothes. makeover time!]

Uh, hello? Yes? It was all gross and cold, and then there was murder. I think that girl earlier was right, that hotel was totally a front for, like, an organ harvesting ring.

[servileness]

[ i feel like this duo would be terrible

anyway

Perhaps someone bumped into Four, and it made her drop all her notebooks and textbooks and stuff, and now she is very much trying to seem gracious and not bothered about this entire fiasco while picking up all her stuff. ]

[quiz]

[ Oh!

Reze kneels down to help gather up the girls belongings. ]

What a jerk, they didn't even bother apologizing. You okay?

[servileness]

[ Oh, hello? She gives a small smile of gratitude before picking up the rest of her school supplies. ]

Thank you. I'm fine. I should have been more careful with where I was going, but... it does take more than one person to cause a collision.

[quiz]

No, you totally weren't at fault. [ She makes a point but also? No. ]

They didn't bother apologizing or looking back, it's fine to call 'em an asshole.

[servileness]

[ Her expression brightens because Reze is taking her side. ]

You think so? [ Reze is right. It isn't her fault. ] But I couldn't possibly call someone that. It's only sad that they were so much in a hurry that they couldn't stay and explain themselves.

[brocoded]

[ hello. he's here either with his camera or using his phone to snap some pics of people and places. ]

[quiz]

[ She's seen cameras before, but cameras on your phone? She's just two years shy. ]

Whatcha doin'?

[brocoded]

[ why is a cute girl talking to him? ]

Huh? Are you talking to me?

[quiz]

Mhm!

[ She nods. ]

I saw you taking pictures and was just curious. First time in a big city?

[evocationary]

[here have some boba tea this is lup's new obsession]

Hold this for me. Try it, actually? [... casually sips from her own tea]

[quiz]

[ That's one way of introducing someone to boba! ]

... This isn't a prank, is it? [ She asks, swirling her straw and watching the boba move around. What is that?? Hello??? ]

[evocationary]

You know, you're the second person to say that to me today. No, it's tasty. If you get one of those, chew on it. They're good.

[and she does one of those really annoying straw rattling the ice sucks of her own tea.]

[quiz]

To be fair, I don’t often take drinks just offered to me and down them without a little hesitation. A fish —

[ She then stops.

Oh, wow, her funny fish story can’t be shared… rip.

Reze just mimics the same actions before she sips on her straw. Initially surprised by the boba but thankfully not choking, chewing with wide eyes. ]

Oh, it’s is good! What’s this called?

my NOTIFS

[evocationary]

That's fair, you shouldn't take drinks from strangers. But I am not a stranger.

[also, she grins.] Boba, apparently. Boba tea. Right? Isn't it good? [...] Wait, what was that about fish?

[unsealthecatbox]

[By now this one sure has gotten used to the sight of daemons, although she is trying really hard to ignore the animals.

The people themselves, though...they are fine. If some random comes to bother one of them, well, this girl sure would have no problem intervening in that]

[quiz]

[ Not before Reze sees her first and makes a plan!! ]

Oh, there you are! [ She's approaching the girl with an over-familiar smile, and even feigns friendship by going in for a hug. ] I thought you got lost or something, like that was a long ten minutes.

[ The guy that was just... trying to flirt with her realizes that she has company and turns away. ]

[unsealthecatbox]

[Getting put on the spot all of a sudden is an uncomfortable experience. It happening while a complete stranger come and hugs you like she's a close friend is even more uncomfortable, but one look around is enough for this redheaded girl to assess the situation. Huh. That's what's going on?

She doesn't really reciprocate the hug, but at least she passes a hand over Reze's back, glaring at that guy's retreating head]

Sorry, sorry. The undesirable company must have made the wait feel endless, I'm sure.

[A parting snipe to that guy, definitely. She doesn't even care if he heard her or not, she just had to say it]

[quiz]

[ At least she plays the part well. Reze looks relieved. ]

Creeps are crawling around every city, huh?

[unsealthecatbox]

They're everywhere!

[She lets go, at least sympathizing with Reze on that regard]

You'd have to live under a rock to avoid them crawling out of the woodwork -- and I cannot say with certainty that'd be enough.

['Every city', huh. Perhaps this one comes from another city, she thought! It must be pretty awful, to travel somewhere else and still be accosted by random assholes trying to hit on you]
