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.

MINI-EVENT: THE SHOW MUST GO ON

[grigori]

MINI-EVENT 7
the show must go on

 

 

Happy Wednesday morning, everyone! While the start of the day is uneventful, your daemons eventually perk as if they've heard something, and will lead you to the concert hall with the understanding that you've been summoned, so to speak. Your Watchers are waiting for your arrival there—but it doesn't seem to be a pressing matter, and they're ready to greet you from the get-go.

"Looks like this is another case of them having something going on, which the locals need some help in. You just blend in with the crowd, anyways, even when you're standing out." Baraqiel seems to be enjoying this opportunistic chance to put you all to work to earn your weekly rewards, so.

"There's going to be a show tonight!" Suriel looks very excited, hands clapped together as their fox daemon runs circles around them. "We've been asked to help prepare. It shouldn't be too hard, and the professionals are still there to help out if you need it."

Shamsiel pumps their fists in time with the music, an immediate go, fight, win! for everyone. You can do it!



Hey there everyone, welcome to the week 6 mini-event! Hooray! While 100% optional, participation yields rewards for your characters.

As instructed on Tuesday in the Discord server, for this event, we ask that players split themselves up into four groups of 4 and two groups of 3. You can coordinate further in the coordination channel, if need be, and head to chatter once you've gotten your assignments. Reply to the sign ups below for that assignment!

Band wranglers have pretty thankless jobs, actually, and even you're going to have to babysit them - doesn't matter that you didn't ask for it, especially since this is a bit of a diva emergency.

★ Pick out all the purple Skittles for the lead vocalist. They will not eat any others, and they're not any help, considering they keep opening packs and dumping them into the bowl you're working on.
★ The guitarist, meanwhile, has a fashion emergency and you have to help. They're being an absolute diva about their wardrobe and hair, and nothing is quite right. Apparently you need to give them a makeover, but they don't know what they want.
★ The drummer is dead asleep and nothing is waking them up. They need to do pre-show rehearsals. Good luck.

Running errands for the band seems pretty easy, right? You don't have to interact much with them, really, just take their lists and get going. But we really wish it was that easy...

★ They need this one specific flavor of hipster soda that’s extremely rare, even with all the grocers, 7-Elevens, and bodegas everywhere. Good luck.
★ The actual band staff give you a phone to use in case you have trouble. But the bandmates... They keep calling to ask where it is? Why haven’t you gotten it yet? They’re dying? Don’t you care? Are you just going to let them perish?
★ You finally find it. There's one pack left. But someone else has grabbed the pack at the same time you have, and they're not letting go. Throw down? Bribe them? Give them the puppy eyes? (The phone rings again.)

spike, allen, and reze!

Every band has them, even the indie ones: groupies. As babysitter, gopher, and minor security, even you have to contend with them. You might be soured to God at this point, but we hope He has mercy on your soul.

★ They scream every time the door opens. It is never the band member they want, no matter who it is that comes out, or from which band. They will scream louder, unfortunately.
★ They ask your opinion about the band and they WILL fight you about it. You could say the nicest thing in the world about one of their favorites, and they're going to take it as insincere.
★ One of them slips past you and security, and you're forced to go on a wild goose chase after her. She a runner she a track star.

Akira, Sche, Power

[grigori]

You’ve been asked to set up posters for tonight’s show, featuring the hit indie bands Howling Feeling, Inferior Wreckage, and Covert Dudes. You each get a stack to take into the city to get the word out!

★ If you were planning to stick them to the walls, you might want to think again! For some reason, the glue just won’t stick to anything but skin or clothes. And with the way the wind is blowing today, you’re going to have a hard time not getting it stuck in your face.
★ Part of where you’ve been asked to attend to posters is blocked off due to an unexpected swarm of bees. Bees?
★ One of the, um, bards in town for the convention seems to take this as a challenge. The battle of the bands is on.

Lights, camera, action! We have to get the stadium set up for the show tonight, which means testing everything and getting the settings just right for what the bands require for their performance.

★ The lights keep getting in your eyes somehow, even when you're not anywhere near them or they seem to be unplugged.
★ The colors are the most unflattering possible? Why won’t this work? Nothing looks right, no matter what settings you play with.
★ While trying to adjust things, you've gone and set off one of the pre-programmed effects, which involves mist flooding the stage and turning on a laser show, while Dragostea Din Tei plays..? Who programmed this? Hello?

[He is staring at a bunch of skittles.]

What's good about the purple ones?

[In the distance, the drummer asleep, the guitarist shaking somebody down for a makeover.]

[greatdeduction]

I can't say. Maybe they hold some sentimental significance?

[Sholmes is wandering over to the drummer in the back. Well! This should be easy!]

[He reaches out to touch the musician's shoulder.]

Don't wake up, my dear fellow. [???] They don't need you on stage. You shouldn't wake up.

[????????? REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY?????????????????????]

team i'll throw this phone in the man-made lake if i have to

[callalilies]

[ kaeya is holding onto the phone, which is currently chirruping and vibrating at the same time. ]

If this thing rings one more time, I cannot promise that the person on the other end of it will live to see the concert.

[ he can stand needy people, just not this needy wow! ]

How could they possibly want the one beverage that may as well not exist? [ considering they have literally not been able to find it whatsoever. ]

[shinetrue]

[ diluc has learned so much in these three days, from what a tv is to what a movie is and now what a phone is. he should not be feeling so old, not when he's only in his twenties, rip. ]

I've met some needy musicians in my time, [ stares at venti. ] but this group is just impatient...[ he'd never allow them in his tavern. ]

Is there really nothing else they could possibly want?

Team Let's Try Not To Make This Worse

[ Hopefully someone here knows how to fix this equipment because Kotetsu sure doesn't. ]

I'm used to being on stage, not setting up for it.

[ He taps the mic and instantly regrets it with the feedback. ]

[voltadomar]

[Kim winces at the screeching noise, and looks over at the instruments.]

This is a bit outside my field, as well.

team babysitter, gopher, and minor but who’s driving the plane

[quiz]

[ Reze covers her ears as another wave of screams come the moment the door opens. She looks over her shoulder and makes a face — these band members look so average?? ]

What’s there to even scream about?

[lefthandpath]

[Allen's wincing from the noise levels himself.]

This is less a concert and more a circus...

team street team

[naqqali]

Well, this does not seem too bad.

[ except that the second she steps forward to get started, she trips and falls. ]

[bloodread]

Hey! [ Rushing forward to catch her. ] You sick? Or cursed?

team now we're ALL blind

[afterword]

[ Well, here's their task and Dokja is IMMEDIATELY blinded. ]

Gah-- who turned on those lights?? We just got here.

[malewife]

[ Bumps into Dokja because he can't see, too, and they just tumble down. ]

Who is managing lights?

[ HELP ]
