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.

Yeah, but tensions were high. When I was made to turn into a pathetic blubbering mess, I called Susato a naive little moron. That's a lot less informative or helpful than how I would've actually phrased my criticism.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

I'm actually quite good at this, just so you know.

[perfectdistance]

[Stares into the sky for a long moment.

His life has gotten so strange.]

I joined his gang when I ran away from home. Back in my early days of bein' with the gang, he told me a lot of sappy stuff I don't wanna repeat, and I gave him a ring whenever we were riskin' our lives for a big haul or somethin' like that.

After 500 years of him draggin' his ass back close to death's door I got sick of it. Told him I couldn't do it anymore and I left.

[bloodyromance]

[He nods, he nods.]

But you're still pretty in love with him, I take it?

How long ago was it that you two were seperated?

[perfectdistance]

Y...es....

[Honesty week, why are you doing this to him.]

100 years ago.

[bloodyromance]

Admitting it is a good start.

You haven't seen him since then?

[perfectdistance]

No. We've been co-workers since... last year?

[bloodyromance]

Right, so... when you told him you were sick of him comin' back all half-dead like, did you make it clear that you were sick of being worried, or could it have been interpreted as you're sick of the chore that is taking care of him?

It shouldn't be your burden either way, but I think if he loves you and understands that your worry comes from a place of love, he'd have to figure out how to compromise at the very least.

[perfectdistance]

I thought it was obvious. Basically told him his life would be over when he died, and there was no reason to keep challenging people who could actually leave him on death's door all of the time.

I just don't wanna see him die.

[bloodyromance]

Ohh, I think I get where you went wrong.

You think he might have seen that as you telling him he's not strong enough to survive? 'Cuz I've had this argument with a guy who didn't actually care if I died so long as I wasn't gonna drag him down with me, and that's what he meant it to be.

I take it he's a bit of an idiot?

[perfectdistance]

He's somehow very smart and also the stupidest man I've known.

We're both from the North so it's just... kinda standard that you'd keep riskin' your life to prove you're stronger. I said I was the weird one for sayin' somethin' like he could die. Fightin' strong enemies, stealing valuable treasures... it's all over when he dies.
