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.

Good choice. I've been starved for TV since we were up and stolen away, so that sounds like a brilliant idea.

Let's go find one then, shall we?

[he's probably got his hands full but lup doesn't seem to care very much. she holds out a hand? waggles her fingers. she likes holding hands, sue her.]

Okay, tell me about TV. We had none of that in Otamo. I feel like I've been missing some primo brainrot.

[It's fine, we can assume he's eaten the hot dog by now. He takes Lup's hand because hey, he also likes holding hands.]

Oh, it's like movies only it's all scheduled and public, and sometimes there's these series that'll get new episodes once or twice a week at the same time.

There's this one show I love called Passions. I think there's TV's here, I'll see if I can find a box set or something.

[she's thrilled! yay hand holds... sometimes you are touch starved.]

Oooh. Sounds spicy. [she says, grinning.] With a name like that, how could I resist the urge to binge watch all episodes in a row.

Pitch me on it. What's the best episode?

[Please, I have never and will never watch this show.... But it exists... and nobody in the world has ever succeeded at giving it a description because it is that fucking weird.

But here goes.]


It's notoriously hard to explain. I think if I were to give it all away, it'd just kill the surprise. But it starts out as a show about a bunch of weird but very human families before it starts getting a bit more bizarre after they introduce a talkin' doll named Timmy who's the assistant of a witch named Tabitha and with them comes a whole host of other problems of a more paranormal nature with vampires and demons trying to massacre the town every few weeks or what have you. So, like what actual sub-urban living's like and not what they advertise. I won't get into spoilers but episode one hundred and forty. It's a good one.

[Was that what you expected, Lup. Was it.]

...I met a talking dummy once. He was very sexually aggressive toward Darla, the oldest of my evil ex-polycule, so she had me put him in a sealed pot of boiling water and throw him down a well. Which is what happened to Timmy funnily enough...

[Ah, memories.]

Anyway, what kind of movie d'you wanna see?

[it's all she wanted and more? are you kidding this is fantastic]

You know, it's absolutely buckwild that you think I'm just going to let you get away with saying that entire last sentence with your mouth words. I have several questions.

[she looks absolutely amused.]

Like, the layers. It's an onion. That sentence is a parfait. [a beat.] Uh, whatever movie is will probably not be quite as titillating as haunted doll watch polycule drama, but I am one hundo percent down for whatever you'd like.

[He chuckles. Lup has a way with words he finds entertaining.]

Well, I can answer questions about the evil polycule, that's not spoiling anything, we broke up about seventy years ago. But I think Passions is better if I just throw you right in the ice water.

[He grins.]

But I'll see if I can find something just as titillating as all that, just for you.

[she wiggles her fingers against his. her hands are very cold.]

I'm already icy, it's pretty hard to shock me. But I'll take that challenge. [c:] Tell me about the evil polycule while we walk, buster, I gotta hear it.
