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.

at the arcade!

[ uwu what is this? owo

jk, but anyways, welcome to the arcade, kaeya is ogling all of the brilliantly glowing machines and devices, but in particular he's fascinated by a game called 'til dance do us part. there are two dancing pads and the trailer that scrolls across the screen depicts a long and winding journey of two heroes through a land of music and rhythm.

he leans over the back bar curiously before turning his head to YOU: ]

It needs two players, want to try?

Music? Dancing?

[He twirls in place, snapping his fingers.]

Why, it was made for me-! Of course!

[ such a twirl! kaeya claps excitedly then flips him a coin! it's a token for the game. ]

You're in then. Try and keep up with me, hm?

[ he hops over the bar and lands lightly onto one of the pads, sliding his coin in as the game declares PLAYER ONE! and begins to tick down for player two to join. ]

[He catches it, following Kaeya's lead by jumping over the bar as well. He's a bit taken aback by the whole bright neon craziness of the thing, but he looks down as he slips in his coin.]

One has to step on these arrows, yes?

Yes. The screen will show you the steps and all you do is tap the corresponding arrow, though sometimes it will ask you to step on two at once. It gets a bit tricky from what I've observed, but I love a challenge.

I'm willing to try. Though I wonder why you can't simply dance the way you want to.

[WHY NO POINTS FOR FREESTYLE]

[But oh, the first arrow is going down. Sholmes looks, and...stamps on it!]

[Wait, that was too early.]

Ah, one has to dance to the song, yes?

Elementary, my dear Sholmes. Dance to the beat and we'll be able to proceed through each level.

[ he's been reading some mystery books. in any case, like an example, he turns his head towards the screen and executes a few steps that come his way, like an echo. ]

We can dance how we want after we win, perhaps?

[Allen has a bubble tea and is sipping on it when he sees Kaeya.]

It actually shows you the steps, huh...

[interesting.]

Yes! I've been watching a few people play it. You follow the steps on the screen with the dance pad to the beat of the music. Some people have even had to trade dance pads mid-game, but it looks quite fun and requires a bit of teamwork.

[ oooh bubble tea ]

Would you have a go with me?

[bubble tea is so good, how could Allen go back to Victorian era when bubble tea exists in the modern day???

as it is, he's putting his bubble tea on a counter and going over, already stretching a bit]

Sounds easy enough. Are you sure you'll be able to keep up?

Oh most definitely. I can't let you simply carry our team, now can I?

[ catch! it's a token! ]

[catches the token and putting it in the slot]

You could. Since I don't plan on making a mistake.

[ He fingerguns at Kaeya. ]

Would I.

Do you know these games from home, Kotetsu?

There are things kind of like this, but not really. Do I'd love to try it out for fun.

[ because what the hell is t&b technology in this alternate setting 70's. ]
