WEEK SIX MINGLE

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.

[Kim nods.

But nope, there's nothing in his arms. The one visible hand sticking out of these robes just has a very bloody glove. There are more cuts along the forearm, similar to the ones along his legs.

As for anything else, it's hard to see anything with the heavy cloak on.]

[ If he's allowed he's going to be checking his arms further, like Akira suggested, then...? Because what happened?

Which means he's going to try to help him out of the cloak, if Kim allows him, while they're waiting on the healing. ]

[Peeling the cloak away reveals...



another cloak!

It's similar to the others, but this one has no pattern embroidered on it. It's also missing much of its left side; a big chunk of the sleeve. There's a massive amount of blood soaked into what's left of it. Kim turns to look as well, and sucks in an uneven, shaky breath.

The other thing that's missing is Kim's left arm, from the elbow down.]

[ His brow furrows... left side. Why is it always the left side? But he reaches to press his hand against the missing spot to apply pressure. Whispering an apology as he's sure it hurts to do this. But they have to wait for the heal to come. ]

Help will be here soon.

[It looks like the stump has been burnt -- cauterized, to slow the bleeding. So there's that.

He gives another nod, shaky, as he processes a sight that he probably didn't actually look at properly until now.]

[ His voice is soft as he speaks to Kim. ]

You can talk to me later, after all of this. I'll be here for whatever you need.

[ His other hand reaches up to gently place on Kim's cheek, trying to calm him down if only a little. ]

[Closing his eyes, he tries to settle into slow, steady breathing.]

... Thank you.

[ He knows it's not easy, but he's glad that Kim is relaxing... even if it's only just a little. ]

Anytime, Kim. Anytime.
