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.

A

[Rin has never been shy about his lack of interest in academics. He has never minced words over how book-dumb he thinks he is. Education just isn't his strong suit, and he accepts that.

Which is why it might be weird to see Rin in the nonfiction section of the library, surrounded by books about Japanese history. He definitely has at least a dozen or so in stacks around him, and he's currently leafing through the pages as he frowns thoughtfully.]

So from that family...then Date...Sendai? Hmm...

[He is trying to learn a thing about Japanese history, it seems. Help would be appreciated though, he is. Struggling.]



B

[If you're not up for learning things, then maybe indulging in some snacks might be better! Because Rin has definitely raided a corner store for several kinds of candies and is grinning gleefully at his stash of sugary goods.]

Here, try this one!

[What did you get? A Sn*ckers? A K*t-K*t? Some Swedish F*sh? Who knows! Tag here to get assigned a candy bar.]

[lefthandpath]

[more food for Allen, you say!]

[aono]

[More food for Allen yes.]

Actually, we should go get some hot food, yeah? I saw a cart selling some popcorn and stuff over in the park.

[lefthandpath]

Perhaps something a little more filling, if we can?

[eyeing a hot dog stand, ngl.]

[aono]

[The questionable street hot dogs...]

Sure, yeah, let's try that! Then we can look around for a pizza place, maybe.

[lefthandpath]

Pizza? Really?

[excite?!]

Though, ah, maybe we could try to find food from Japan? I'd like to try more of it. The chef at the Black Order knew some recipes, but considering what's happened to Japan--

[and stops because oh wait. did he ever mention that part...?]

I mean--my favorite's mitarashi dango!

[aono]

[HE HEARD THAT but no sad talks, only excitement.]

Who do you think you're talking to? Tell me a Japanese dish you want and I can make it for you, easy-peasy. I can make you some mitarashi dango if that's what you want.

[lefthandpath]

Really? It's easy to make?

Though, in that case, if you're wanting to make that food, maybe some Indian, then? It's been a while since I've had some.

[aono]

Well, not super-easy. But I've done it before so I know what to do.

[Also he likes spoiling Allen with food, so.]

Indian would be good, there's always good spicy stuff there. C'mon!

[He is deadass grabbing for Allen's hand to drag him along to some restaurant.]

snacks....

[callalilies]

[ oh? hey rin!

polaris trots up at the rustling of the bag, his wolf tail wagging softly as he and kaeya approach. government assigned candy, let's go. ]

Well I'd hate to miss out on a local delicacy.

[ it's processed sugar, kaeya, dw about it but he looks a bit excited regardless. ]

[aono]

[Rinkou is gnawing on a rawhide treat, so Polaris can partake in a goodie too!

Rin hands Kaeya a bag of Sk*ttles.]

It's not exactly a delicacy, but it's still good.

[callalilies]

[ polaris will greet rinkou with a happy sniff and nosing, like he's asking permission before applying teeth. good bless, he is content.

meanwhile kaeya looks at the bag of sk*ttles and tilts his head, opening it and--wtf this bag is full of fuckin colors. he pours a few into his hand and gawks at a moment before he holds it out. ]

Which one should I try first? Or do you eat them all at once?

[aono]

[Rin watches all of this with glee. He loves introducing people to new foods, their reactions are always so good.]

I like the red ones and the green ones best. But try one color at a time, they have different flavors.

[callalilies]

Why isn't there blue?

[ blue is his favorite color :( but he will eat a purple one! and immediately wince. ]

... Grape...

[aono]

There's blue ones in the other bag.

[Present: wild berry Sk*ttles!]

And what's wrong with grape?

[callalilies]

It reminds me of my least favorite drink!

[ grape juice.

but kaeya, isn't wine just old grape juice?

it's refined. ]

I didn't think they could condense such a horrible thing into one little candy. It's... interesting? [ he didn't waste it! he will, however, try another. orange? orange is good, orange hits right. ]

[aono]

It's not even a real grape flavor, dude. It's fake-grape.

[Kaeya...]

But uh, try the red ones. They're strawberry.

[ Kotetsu leans over Rin to try to peer at everything that he's studying. ]

What've you got here?

[aono]

Oh, hey!

[He holds up a book, it's about 16th century Japan.]

I'm reading! It's the best way to learn about Tsuru's past, I think.

[sponsoredby]

[ Oh! That catches his interest. ]

Mind if I sit and join you?

[aono]

Sure! I don't mind. Two minds are better than one, yeah?

[There's plenty of room on the floor too, so.]

[sponsoredby]

[ In that case, he's flopping right down in the empty spot. ]

What kinds of things have you learned so far?

[aono]

Way too much about the Date clan. I think I've read more about them than I have in all of middle school.

[sponsoredby]

Sounds like you're not too happy about that.

[ He is a little amused, though. ]

[aono]

I suck at school, and I suck at memorizing shit from books especially. This is like forcing myself to do the most boring nonsense in the world, except I know it's not nonsense because important things are hidden in here.
