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.

A detective! Awesome! You'll be a fan favorite, I guarantee it.

[She takes out some paper and starts drawing pretty quickly, hiding it from sight]

I write books for children, you know. Lessons imparted for kids in a manner both them and their parents love. I'll have to send you a good heaping of royalties every once in a while, but it'll be worth it.

[And now, kids are going to get life lessons from a character that's like Sholmes. Is that a great thing?

She looks up from what she has drawn so far, narrowing her eyes in thought]

If you could picture yourself as an animal what would you be?

[greatdeduction]

Royalties? My dear madam, you are singing a song I love every time I hear it. After all, man's greatest problem is...? Rent. So I am more than enthused to hear I will receive something for my donation to such a cause.

[sholmes: i am motivated by mysteries but also $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ its how it is]

Hm. Hmmm. Why! That's an easy answer!

[He swoops down to pick up Irene in hare form. She is very discord emote :unamused:]

A hare! I could be nothing else.

[tibkins]

Oh, trust me, I have been there before. My days of busking on the corners with a triangle to get cash for the rent are over, but cor, those sure were days of woe.

[She speaks as if that was her go-to whenever she was unemployed, but no, that was just for a while.

When Sholmes picks up Irene, this woman's eyes widen, delighted]

Aaawww, how adorable! And well-behaved, too.

[A hare! Oh, she can work with that, she thinks, sketching faster]

[greatdeduction]

Ah, then I wish you all the best. Sincerely, it is hard to lift one's self out of such circumstances, and I commend you.

[Irene just looks over at Sholmes with a noise that almost suggests a sigh.]

She is quite a gift, yes! My Irene.

[tibkins]

The mere sight of Irene has made my week!

[Sholmes, his hare, and later everyone else she meets are definitely the highlight of the year, as far as she's concerned.

She turns around what she was drawing on, displaying a pretty bad drawing for Sholmes to see. She gives an apologetic smile]

I should warn I'm not the illustrator of my books, I'm the writer. I'll just pass this to the real artists so they turn your hare version into reality, Sir Detective.

[greatdeduction]

Oh! A drawing!

[SHAKES NICK I LOVE YOU I ASSUME THIS IS NICK]

[But he nods, smiling as he puts Irene on his shoulder.]

You may have a road ahead of you in the art department, yes, but what you lack in artistic skills, you make up for it with your kindness. Thank you, my dear madam.

[tibkins]

[Indeed it's Nick, haha!

She seems so pleased with his response]

I try, I try.

[She definitely is the vivid image of a kind, cheerful children's books author. A young heart shining bright, even though people probably think she should be acting differently given she's almost in her forties, haha]

Are you new to the city? It's not like I know every single person in Kings, but I'm pretty sure someone as renowned as you would stand out.

[She believed his boasting without any hesitation]
