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.

tibkins: CRAZY AM I RIGHT HAHAHAHA (Last night I had the craziest dream)

[It's such a shame Joonghyuk isn't a frog, haha.

There certainly are locals everywhere in this city. Among them, there's this woman who has been people watching for a while, focusing her attention on the people with animals. She seems to be having the time of her life, truthfully!]

... Is something the matter?

[ ???????? ]
tibkins: Therefore children are trouble (Godzilla was a child once)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-09 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm hm hm! Animal, brooding stare, that aura of 'don't talk to me I have important stuff to do, random woman'...oh yes, I see, I see. A protagonist.

[Seemingly satisfied, she gives him a beaming smile]

I have been keeping an eye out for you guys! Some of you seemed to need a bit of guidance in the big city, so I'm just lending some help around to get used to Kings and all. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.

[Ever since she talked to Alphinaud she's been offering that first and foremost]

[ joonghyuk is softly and metaphorically whispering to himself "what the fuck," but he doesn't say anything at first because he appreciates resourcefulness. ]

You can say I'm a tourist. Can you tell me more about Kings? Does it have a night life?
tibkins: There. New best-seller! (Vice-President Baby)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-09 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Trust me, saying 'what the fuck' in your head and/or aloud is the correct reaction when interacting with this woman. She's that kind of kook. Consider yourself fortunate she's a NPC instead of a player character, haha.

The mention of a night life gets her so pleased]


Oh, does it ever! Movies, spectacles, dancing, it all has its place in Kings. Of course, everything is around here, in the central areas -- you won't find any good nightlife in the outskirts, none at all.

[May or may not be accurate. Who knows what you'd find if you explore the outskirts, that's exploration content]

But if you need something that's almost guaranteed to catch your eye the concert hall is the bees' knees! No matter if it's day or night, you can't go wrong if you start from there.

[At least she sounds completely confident about that. It must be one hell of a concert hall!]

[ god bless. ]

I'll keep note of that. [ He supposes maybe he'll check out the concert if he ever wants a break. Eh. ] Have you noticed anything strange here?

Or in the outskirts...?
tibkins: You're a what now, Ryan? (Now you tell me your secrets)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-10 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Talking about the outskirts diminishes her cheerfulness]

Nothing strange around here, but the outer parts of Kings are... [She gestures vaguely, trying to figure out how to say it] You know how every town has a bad area you should stay away of or else you risk, you know, a bad time? That's how it is beyond the central areas. I'm sure the people out there aren't all bad, but you really shouldn't go if you don't have a reason to.

[She sounds serious about that]

I see.

[ That makes sense. ]

Have you heard any rumors? Strange activity? [ This seems like a normal place. ] Supernatural in nature?
tibkins: Stop ruining the walls, Lottie! (Tell me this is a dream)

[personal profile] tibkins 2021-11-11 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing. You guys are the strangest ones I have ever seen.

[Which makes them stand out even more, really]

But if one strange thing happens, then more and more will come pouring in, I'm sure. It should be only matter of time before something else happens!

[People with animals representing their souls pop up all of a sudden! What's next? It's exciting, but also makes you worry a little. Anything could happen!

Angel apocalypse is certainly not what she's imagining, but hey, given the end of this world may or may not be in the horizon, it's not like she's wrong about how weirdness doesn't come alone. There's no such thing like isolated incidents when it's about the supernatural!]
