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.

[ wooow! flat's impressed! ]

Thaaaank you...

[ he'll cut the deck in half, place the bottom on the top and draw... ]

Five of clubs, two of hearts, and the ten of spades. [ hmmm... ] Have you had trouble with your love life, Allen?

[... he's being targeted by these cards!!!]

Not... really?

I mean. Not aside from the obvious?

[HAVING FEELINGS WHEN MURDER AND DEATH CAN HAPPEN IS... BAD?]

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
...?

[ flat tilts his head. ]

What's the obvious?
lefthandpath: (74)

[personal profile] lefthandpath 2021-11-11 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
... one us might die?

[that obvious.]
escardos: (pic#13770499)

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh, right.

[ he looks around. ]

That really hasn't stopped anyone, though, has it? Don't you think that's weird?
bloodyromance: (wots all this then)

[personal profile] bloodyromance 2021-11-11 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why would it? It's not like it's rational. Besides, you don't have to be in a travelling death tournament for the threat of death to hang over a relationship.

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
That's fair! Anyone can die at any moment. But the statistics are a lot higher for us, considering that we were just 40 people. It's kind of like going to Battle Royale and falling in love...

[ he shrugs. ]

But I don't think it's a bad thing! I think it's nice. Just a little weird!
bloodyromance: (talking to you?)

[personal profile] bloodyromance 2021-11-11 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

They're pretty high for me back home too. Love isn't painless no matter where you are, and death's not the only way it can go wrong. That's just part of it.

But yeah, it's just sort of inevitable, even under these conditions.
escardos: (pic#13770497)

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, break ups happen, don't they?

[ he taps his chin, thinking. ]

I mean, I guess here the stakes are actually lower than at home, and I still saw love there. You remember the vampire guy that I talked to you about, right?

[ flat, jester does not count as love.... ]
bloodyromance: (pic#15239134)

[personal profile] bloodyromance 2021-11-11 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[In fairness, Spike also maybe shouldn't count.]
escardos: (pic#13478904)

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well, he was one of those in that War I told everyone about. But he's still head over heels over his Servant, even if she didn't seem really happy to see him.

[ but maybe she can just get a restraining order or something? ]

Though he actually got into big trouble with an Ancestor because of it...or well, not because of that, but because he was saying that he was going to deny humanity while still falling in love with something that protects humanity. I guess Mister Van Fem saw it as kind of hypocritical, and he doesn't like that at all. So he let Mister Hansa and I attack him since he was also really dangerous. Something about killing everyone.

Which part...? I think it's normal for people to want to hold onto things even if they may be lost.

... and I also think it's normal to want to avoid bringing that sort of pain on oneself or others.
escardos: (pic#13770506)

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

I think that both things are true as well.

[ damn it, honesty week ]
lefthandpath: (he pretends that he's okay)

[personal profile] lefthandpath 2021-11-11 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
[smiles and taps the spades card.]

This one's not a very good card, is it? Spades usually aren't.
escardos: (pic#13770497)

[personal profile] escardos 2021-11-11 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's why I asked if you had relationship problems.

[ does flat mean this? or is he being terrible on purpose? ​]

But if you want a serious reading, I guess you can interpret it yourself? I just kind of go with the vibes of the cards.
lefthandpath: (salutations fellow person-like person)

[personal profile] lefthandpath 2021-11-11 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, that's okay. I was just making sure I was seeing it right.

But I think I'm doing as well as can be for now on the front.
