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.

[He pouts.]

I'm really just saying...but yes, I could...

Why are you sulking over this?

...

Want you to get hugged...

[ Sorry you have to witness this, Kim. Kotetsu looks at the other man wryly before looking at Sholmes. ]

... Why?

Why wouldn't people hug you! Your muscles! The warmth!

[His cheeks flush, and he just. Slumps on the table, trying to hide his face. HONESTY WEEK.]

[ SHOLMES YOUR THIRST? ]

I think you have a bias.

[there is no thirst]

[and into the table muffled:]

I do....

[ sounds fake.

But he laughs a little, patting Sholmes softly. ]

There, there.

[MAKING DISGRUNTLED NOISES INTO THE TABLE LIKE THE MANCHILD HE IS]

[ Happy now, Sholmes? Pat pat, after the hug. ]

[He's happier! Kotetsu got hugged. :)]

[ What a dork. ]

You didn't have to pressure Kim like that.

I just found it unfair that he hugged me and not you. If he didn't hug the either of us, I wouldn't have.

Hm. He said he'd take one later.

[ Looks like he's thinking something and leans over to whisper something to Sholmes. ]

[...!]

[Sholmes jolts in place, hitting his knee on the desk. He turns to Kotetsu, flustered.]

Really.

[The lieutenant lets out a long sigh.]

This is hard to watch.

Fine. If it's that important... Kotetsu, come here.

[ He looks so apologetic at Kim. ]

I'll make it up to you later.

[ But he is getting up to walk over to Kim, opening his arms in offering. ]

[He considers, then walks to meet him. Arms open.

Dragon-friend is still here for the ride. From where she's burrowed under Kim's collar, Cecile squeaks and wiggles in a circle.]

[ Finley is watching from under the table.

Since he's welcoming it now, Kotetsu wraps his arms around him, minding the dragon. The hug is firm, secure. If he's going to do this, he'll do it properly. ]

... I wanted to do this the other night, but I didn't know if it'd be appropriate.

[ Nice job, honesty week! ]
