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.

[Yeah, this is alarming. Again, another violent CYOA. Again, the dead.]

[Sholmes is running up, alarmed - he doesn't know who to focus on, but Rin grabs his attention most of all, and he's dropping down to examine the boy.]

[There's a very noticeable piece of paper taped to his own sweater that reads "I am cursed to lie."]

Rin! Rin!!

[aono]

[He's unconscious he can't read!!! But yeah he landed face-first so his back is showing and looking pretty crispy. 2nd degree burns are no joke.

He's also bleeding from the mouth like the other two, but since he's face-down it's just ending up on the sidewalk right now.]

[greatdeduction]

Rin...

[Xie Lian has stepped in and is working his healing hands, so he'll back off slightly to watch, anxious.]

[He's sliding a hand down his face. Please, please...]

[aono]

[Rin is going to abruptly wheeze and jolt awake as the healing does a good job of fixing him before he heckin' dies out here. But now he's coughing and trying to push himself up to his hands and knees but he still feels wobbly.]

Fuck-

[greatdeduction]

Rin. You should push yourself...!

[He makes a disgruntled noise at himself, bowing down to grasp the other's shoulders, lightly.]

Xie Lian didn't take care of you. But you don't need any more healing.

[If Rin can see, he's detaching a hand to pat at the sign on his chest.]

[aono]

[Rin's head is spinning and he really just wants to go back to sleep but that's probably the worst thing right now. So instead he just raises a shaky hand to push at Sholmes' shoulder.

...he meant to push at his face, but shh.]

Just- stop talking if it's weird, yeah?

[But since his hand is on that shoulder anyway, he'll actually grab onto it. No going anywhere, not allowed.]

[greatdeduction]

Mmm.

[He's a talkative person! He can't help it! And he wants to say something!]

[Instead he just sighs, shaking his head, worried. He'll allow Rin to grab at whatever he wants. He isn't going anywhere.]

What happened? Burns...?

[aono]

...kinda? It was like...electrocution. And bleach burns. At the same time.

[A pause.]

And some demon tried to possess me and fucked up my back too, that's probably a normal burn.

[greatdeduction]

Oh.

[KIND OF LOOKS??? HORRIFIED??????]

My boy who is not at all dear to me....

[He cringes. He wants to say "I'm so sorry" but. That will definitely come out poorly.]

[aono]

[Rin just ducks his head and snickers.]

It's fine, old man. I hear you loud and clear.

[greatdeduction]

Hm.

[He shakes his head, smiling slightly, but still concerned.]

It's not at all good to hear you laugh, at least...
