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.

[Kim looks at the two of them, then at the sign.]

You're giving out hugs?

[greatdeduction]

Yes, indeed, my dear fellow.

[He smiles.]

Want one? It does the soul some good, I feel.

[voltadomar]

Me? [He looks like he didn't expect that.] That's, er... I'm all right. Keep up the good work.

[greatdeduction]

Are you sure?

[Waggling his eyebrows a little. You want a hug, Kim. You DESERVE a hug.]

I can be quick about it.

[voltadomar]

I'm not--

[He looks like he tries to say something, but the words don't come out? Thanks, honesty week.]

... hm.

[greatdeduction]

Hm? What was that?

[isn't he insufferable]

[voltadomar]

Apparently, nothing.

[Cecile, in the meantime, crawls out from under his collar and perks up. Then she runs excitedly from one shoulder to the other.]

[greatdeduction]

[Stepping up with arms outstretched, waggling his eyebrows. Yes? Yes??? Hug??????]

[voltadomar]

[...



He doesn't make eye contact. But he'll take a step forward and accept the hug.]

[greatdeduction]

[He gives him a very good hug, smiling all the while.]

You are nice to hug, Lieutenant.

[voltadomar]

Um...


Am I?

[greatdeduction]

Yes!

[Draws back, with a nod.]

I would not say it if it were not true. See if I say that I don't like- [And he coughs.] See? Can't say it!

[voltadomar]

Ah. Right. [Honesty week.] Definitive evidence, that.

[He's so tired. But it looks like he cracked a smile just now.]

[sponsoredby]

[ There's a smile and a nod. ]

We thought some people could use it.

[ He's normally not an openly hugging type, but everyone's been through a lot. ]

[voltadomar]

It's not a bad idea. I was just thinking that some kind of morale-boosting was needed around here.

[He gives a nod of approval.]

[sponsoredby]

Yeah... That's what we were thinking.

[ Me, forgetting Kotetsu has a mini-dragon until Kim shows up. Said dragon, perks up and comes out from under the table?? Dragon friend is happy. And flaps over to land on Kim's shoulder. Friend! ]

Heh. I think it likes you a lot.

[voltadomar]

[Oh! Dragon friend. Kim allows it to land on his shoulder, and he reaches up to stroke its neck. Cecile pokes her bandicoot face out from under the collar of his jacket to say hi, too.]

It's mutual.

[ The wings flap a bit, happy! And gives a little nuzzle to Kim and peers at Cecile. ]

I'm glad to hear that. [ But he motions at the sign. ] Care to have one? From more than just the little dragon, that is.

[voltadomar]

Um...

[Kim goes quiet. But Cecile pipes up with a cheerful squeak.]

[sponsoredby]

Do I need to get a sheet of paper and write: "Circle Yes or No"?

[voltadomar]

You definitely do not have to do that.

[sponsoredby]

[ He laughs a bit. ]

Don't want to answer?

[voltadomar]

[He rubs the back of his neck, looking unsure. But Cecile just pokes her head out further and chirps enthusiastically.]

[sponsoredby]

[ He peers at Cecile. Then looks at Kim. ]

Raincheck?

[voltadomar]

[Kim considers it.

Cecile gently bites his earlobe. He shoves her back into his jacket.

... Then he nods. Raincheck.]
