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.

[ Honesty week is one hell of a thing! ]

No... not everything. A lot of things, but not everything.

[ The stare he gives Nero is meaningful. If he picks up on it. ]

[Nero gives him a slight smile in return.]

Alright.

But I'm still exhausted from this whole competition.

You and me both. I feel like I'll sleep for a week after all of this.

Hahaha, we all deserve it. It's been... almost two months now?

[ He exhales slowly. ]

It feels like it's been an eternity... but also has gone by so fast.

Time always feels a little weird. But it feels... extra weird when we're stuck like this.

I can imagine time feels a bit different for you when you've live as long as you have, too.

I'm not that old?

[sir you're 600.]

To me, that's pretty old. I'll be lucky if I hit about a hundred.

[ And even then... ]

The twins are like 2000 somethin', so I don't feel that old in comparison.

How old do your people normally live...?

[ 2000?? That's so long. ]

Wizards?

I dunno the average age? 1500?

That's a really long time... I can't even imagine it.

Once you hit 1000 you start gettin' real weird.

Weird...? Weird how?

Uuuh...

There's the guy who tried to conquer the world, the guy who eats seashells, and the guy who terrorizes people for fun...

[ His eyebrow raises at the second one. ]

One of those things is not like the other... One of those things doesn't belong... [ He looks over casually at Sholmes. ]

I don't think you have to be that old the eat strange things.
