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.

I... think so? It's an instrument, isn't it?

[there's a long pause

and then, wonderingly:]
Wow, this is what anxiety sounds like.

[she says, as she's swaying along in time to the music]

Ahaha. It does, a bit.

[But after he bows his head, he hands it over.]

I want you to have it.

[oh!!!

a beat, and then she takes it from him, holding it gently.]


... Thank you. [she says, softer, her grip tightening just a little. she leans over to press a kiss to his cheek.]

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-10 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Do learn how to play it and serenade it with me, would you?

[He laughs, touched by the kiss, feeling warm.]

We need to share all sorts of new experiences together, you know.

[that first bit makes her laugh.]

Of course. [she's just going to lean against him, head on his shoulder. it's fine, she's just a little tired.] I'll practice, you come hang out at my rad new apartment, we make fun of people who walk past, the works.

[it'll make her feel less homesick? for... what, she isn't quite sure, but it will.]
greatdeduction: (the second stain)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course.

[He definitely looks a little worried, but he's raising a hand to pet through her hair, gently.]

I'm happy to do such things with my friend.

[her ear flicks! she likes hair pets... her eyes close.]

Maybe I can cook you dinner. You think there are any places around here that aren't horrendously expensive to buy ingredients from?
greatdeduction: (Default)

[personal profile] greatdeduction 2021-11-10 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Hm. You know, I don't know.

[Twirling a hair around a finger.]

We can look!

[another little ear flick.]

If you're not careful I'm going to make you give me a piggyback ride to find a place.

My back isn't what it used to be, but trust me, I could do it! Just not for long!
