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.

The pentacles cover stuff like manifestation, realization, proof and prosperity. The page specifically, means manifestation, financial opportunity and skill development.

The other two meanings don't really make sense.

In a readin' it's more like... manifestin' the energy to start in on that venture. So I think it's "we are gonna find a way".

Well, I do always say "we're gonna find a way", so I guess that fits me yeah.

Then there ya go. We'll figure it out.

[With a firm nod.]

Yeah, we will!

[Thumbs-up!]

I didn't expect the cards to say something we already know though.

Sometimes the cards help in a kinda reassurance way.

I guess that's true, yeah.

Thanks, Nero. For the reassurance.

You're welcome. I hope it helped.

It did with some of the worries, yeah.

[Some of a huge pile of worries.]

Though I wouldn't say no to a love life reading?

[I see.

Nobody came to Nero for romantic advice, but they WILL show up for romantic readings.

The cards are shuffled]

Pick a card.

[TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND NERO

Anyway Rin is drawing the ace of cups.]

This is the suit for feelings and emotions. So that makes sense.

The meanings for it are love, new relationships, compassion and creativity.

Your heart is full of love and you are both giving and receiving it. [He already knew this about Rin. This is a very good child.] Did you start dating somebody recently? Treat them with compassion and give them a creative date.

Dating? No.

[He can't lie but something about his tone suggests he's embarrassed to give that response.]

I've got some other stuff to figure out first. Though I guess I was kinda hoping the cards would have an answer for that part of it too. Though 'be compassionate' would help, I guess?

[Nero does not press too hard.]

I think be compassionate applies to most relationships, romantic or not. Try to understand where everybody is comin' from.

Yeah. Most people just want to be understood.

It's just...sometimes you do some horrible shit, and then there's a little voice in the back of your head going "you don't deserve to be happy like that. You're just gonna drag them down. You're selfish and greedy and can't make up your mind so they're better off without you." Like...you could try, but you would feel bad about it the whole time and it makes you not wanna try.

[He feels this is a very public call out to himself and doesn't really know what to do with that.]

... I know that feeling. I've known it for a couple centuries.
