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.

Is that a good familiar or bad familiar?

[ cuz boy that could have two different outcomes, couldn't it! ]

[yueshen]

....Good. [ he says, after a moment, and when he turns to sche, there's a small smile on his face. it's a little nostalgic, a little bittersweet. ]

...It is me, after all.

[naqqali]

[ she trots in closer to get a better look! ]

Ah, so it is! Does this mean I should be addressing you by a specific title?

[yueshen]

...Well, if you wanted to be technical, you could simply say 'your highness' and it would be akin to my godly title, as that is the term of respect most of them use with each other - but, ah! I don't mind if you don't.

[ the statue itself is very prettily carved, with its flower in one hand, sword in the other, and does not bear a plaque or anything like that. characters in mandarin on the scroll are archaic and difficult to read, but the name 'xian le' can be made out from where they are rolled up. ]

Truthfully, it has been quite nice here, to be Xie Lian.

[naqqali]

I imagine there must have been immense pressure on you. This is not the most relaxing situation to be in, but I think I may be able to understand the lack of stress, from such responsibilities.

[ Obviously her position was not as elevated as Xie Lian's, but she thinks that perhaps this small thread of relativity could be a common connection between them, even though it isn't exactly the same. ]

[yueshen]

[ haha... ha... ]

...It did feel as though I carried the weight of the world, sometimes. [ literally....

that is way too close to trauma though so he just gives her a little smile. ] But, despite it all, there are things I can do here much easier than I could do before. I can interact with people whenever I like, and I like that very much. People like you, Miss Scheherazade!

[naqqali]

Ah, the flattery isn't necessary, but it is appreciated.

Despite that, I'm pleased to hear you can find small moments of joy. That is important for one's health, after all.
