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.

[ all my friends are dead.png

i mean here we are again! another cyoa! xie lian is on his way out in a dash, rushing for the group as always; his hands glow an immediate soft gold, and he glances to nero and alphinaud both quickly, nods (go team!) and then hurries to rin's side.

he looks up at yuri, too, and frowns. IMMENSELY.]

There are at least three of us who can heal, Yuri, you need to be seen to as well. [ in the absolutely NO ARGUMENTS voice, sharp and serious as he drops down beside rin where he fell, then takes in a deep breath, focusing in on his spiritual energy.

after a moment, the gold flickers and then strengthens, and he carefully moves his hand over rin's chest, beginning to immediately work on healing him. ]

[He's face-down so it'll be his back, bur sure. Help him with those burns and the bleeding from the mouth and whatever the fuck happened to his face and hands. He's still out for another moment but yay healing!]

[ stop he's going to turn him over as carefully as humanly possible :TT MY SWEET RIN

but yes, he is very focused on his healing, eyes closed - rin gets to feel nice and warm as the spiritual energy floods through his body. ]

You must have fought well. [ he says, quietly, just loud enough to be heard. ] Come on, Rin. Come back to us.

[And then the demon wakes up and smacks XL across the face.

No I'm kidding, the healing does wonders to help make Rin look less physically ill than he did just moments ago. It also helps with all the external injuries, but the internal ones probably mattered a lot more in terms of survival.

As the healing finishes off, Rin will gasp awake and choke on his own spit. He's now coughing as he tries to sit up, with minimal success.]

[ that's fine he'd fight it

anyway, xie lian breathes a sigh of relief, shoulders slumping a little, and then rubs his back, moving to carefully support rin so he can sit up properly and offering him whatever weight he needs to lean on. san lang looks for rinkou, skittering free of his position on xie lian's neck to run to the wolverine.

he sounds very, very relieved. ] There you are. [ phew. ] Shh, shh - hold still, don't strain yourself. You've made it back.

[Rinkou is nearby, huddled down and hissing in pain and fear. A perfect mirror to Rin's inner turmoil honestly, as when San Lang reaches the frightened wolverine Rin will also reach up to grab onto whatever he can in an attempt to comfort himself, even if it's only minimally effective.]

Is Monika okay?

[Even in pain as he is, he cares about her first.]

[ mood!!

san lang chitters softly, and reaches out to sniff at the wolverine, then gently headbutts her in an uninjured place. hello, friend.

xie lian himself glances over to where monika is being healed, worry creasing his brow, and nods. ]

She's being taken care of right now by Mr. Nero - she'll be just fine.

Good. She- they tried to kill her. Strapped her to a table and electrocuted her and everything. And some other stuff I don't remember.

['They were weak. They couldn't even kill her with their own hands, they had to use tools. And they failed even with the tools!']

...

Maybe ask Yuri for more about that part.

Oh, shut up.

[ fuck you demon! happy honesty week!

anyway. xie lian glances over at monika and san lang makes a quiet, unhappy noise - he just looks terribly, terribly worried as he presses his lips into a thin line, and then shakes his head, returning back to rin fully. ]

... I will - once you've all had time to rest. That includes you, alright? My healing here is not as strong as I would like it to be - I can only do so much...

It's okay, it's way better than it was before.

[Even if he'll have scars, the burning doesn't hurt as much.]

...it's close to curfew, isn't it?

You heal them first. They went through the worst of it.

[ no questions are allowed. ]

And I will tell you precisely what you told me - that your injuries are just as important to be healed, and it is reckless to make them worse.

[ but, he also doesn't say this to yuri until he's completed a round of healing on rin so.

... once he has, he softens, a little, though. ] ...I'm glad you're alright.

That's not me being contradictory, Xie Lian. They really did.

[ there's a slight frown at that. ]

... Mm, well. I'm stubborn.

I know. [ he knows you!!!! really well!!!

but, that gets a little huff, and a small smile. we love honesty week for saying things like - ] Good. You aren't allowed to leave, either - I can't lose you, too.

[ honesty week, gotta love it. ]

Like I'd go anywhere. You'd cause chaos everywhere without a few of us to keep you in line.

It seems as if you're the one causing chaos this time around, Yuri.

[ the smile on his face is very relieved, at least. ] I have some more first aid supplies for you, once everyone has been stabilized. Let's find somewhere safe to sleep.

I do that sometimes. Just to keep you all on your toes.

[ hmmm. ] I think I remember what sleep is? Maybe?

You will remember.

[ :) ]

[ there's a rush of wind and a flutter of feathers as suriel appears. ]

Does anyone else need help? I still have one exchange left.

Save it Suriel. I think we might need to keep that in reserve.

[ hey. ]

[ well! they're still fretting! and so am i? please sleep, becks. ]

I know there could be others, but you all shouldn't have to stay injured if there's something we can do, either...

If no one needs it tomorrow, I'm helping one of you. And you can't say no! Got it?

[ shhhh suriel it’s okay ]

Okay, okay. But I wouldn’t take that as a bet — I think it’ll be better suited to tomorrow.
