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.

[yueshen]

[

... Sure.

[escardos]

[ this is exactly how guoshi told fortunes.

anyways, he'll deal a jack of hearts, a 9 of clubs, and a 7 of diamonds. ]

It looks to me like you're about to be blessed with something amazing. Something like a new love. Could it be that someone has a crush on you, Xie Lian~?

[yueshen]

I hope not.



[ damn ]

[escardos]

Wow, what a heartbreaker! I didn't expect that from you, Xie Lian. Thank god I don't have a crush on you.

[ he'll pick up the cards, and shuffle the deck again. ]

Is there any fortune that you want read?

[yueshen]

I've told you before, I don't have any interest in that sort of thing...I would hate for someone to be upset if they placed feelings upon me.

[ falling in love with xie lian is like falling in love with a brick wall 0/10 do not recommend

but, hmmm!! he taps his chin. ] Let's see. How about the fortune of our friendship, Flat?

[escardos]

[ flat will shuffle the cards! the playing cards, that is, and draw...

a queen of hearts! ]

It means we're really good friends! I guess you could say that the Queen is kind of like the Empress, so you know it's just kind of like...[ does vague gestures with his hands.... thumbs up! ] that!

[yueshen]

Very impressive! I am glad to hear it. If the stars said otherwise, then I would simply tell them they were wrong.

[ Looks at Baraqiel instantly. ]

[yueshen]

[ hm ]

What in the world are stocks?



[ that's what you took away from this ]

[malewife]

[ Still staring at Baraqiel. ]

Monetary assets.

[yueshen]

[ turns head to

also look at baraqiel? ??? ]

Baraqiel is a monetary asset?

[malewife]

... Are they rich?

[grigori]

[ they're? right here? why are you all like this. ]

Very.

[yueshen]

[ ??? ]

Baraqiel's assets are surely much more than monetary.

[malewife]

[ Raises

eyebrows??? ]

... What do you mean?

[yueshen]

Well, Baraqiel is incredibly clever, and very talented at a variety of things. In fact, if I didn't know that he was terrible at handwriting, I would think that he was simply good at everything! He is also genuine, loyal, and kindhearted, and most importantly, a truly incredible combatant, an utter wonder with a saber!

It seems silly to consider someone an asset to your life only because they have wealth, doesn't it?

[malewife]

It isn't silly. Money, in the end, is power.

[ ... ]

His handwriting is terrible?

[yueshen]

[ normally he'd say something polite along the lines of it being creative






it's honesty week ] It's completely unreadable.

[malewife]

[ ??? this doesn't fit his Baraqiel headcanon? ]

Baraqiel.

[callalilies]

He's an excellent painter as well!

[yueshen]

[ nodding ]

Mm! Baraqiel is the one who painted all of our portraits on those scrolls! It took me some time to realize it, but it makes sense now.
