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.

THE BIG CITY.
[ wow

this is a lot! xie lian has been mostly well adapted to the worlds so far, but the big city is, uh. lightyears beyond him, to say the least. he is definitely dressed like one of those "cosplayers" (by which we mean he has not changed his clothes out of his usual white robes), and is mostly walking with his head straight up, staring up at the tall, tall buildings in a sort of touristy awe.

as he continues to walk right into a crosswalk. there's a loud honk from a horn - xie lian yelps and out of straight instinct jumps up in the air, san lang in ferret form leaping almost a foot off of his shoulder straight in the air, and

lands on top of the car with his hand on his sword like he's ready for a fight. there's a moment of all around ??????? from driver, ferret, and human - and then xie lian realizes what happened, jumps back off, bows, immediately, and apologizes profusely - ]
Sorry, I'm so sorry!

[ and then manages to make it back to the street corner with his hand on his heart. what weird metal monsters. help. ]


THE LIBRARY.
[ or, exploring a quiet area in an early morning in the library might find you xie lian, poking through all of the books and scrolls in a section called religion. it looks like he might have been researching, trying to get an understanding of anything relating to their situation, but... something's caught his eye.

that is to say, in a corner of the religion section, there's a shelf that reads NON-TRADITIONAL AND HISTORICAL and tucked away in that corner, there is a tiny statue sitting on a shelf, along with a few archival works of scrolls behind glass.

he hasn't said anything about it yet - is just staring, quietly, hands folded in front of himself. even san lang the ferret is silent, staring at the little statue figurine that looks almost like it shouldn't be there at all. ]


THE STAR CIRCLE.
[ after a nice happy moment of reflection, you can find xie lian in the star circle, but something's a little weird. see, he came here to send a letter, still holding a bottle in his hand, but -

well. he's been stopped in the same spot for like ten minutes, far from the fountain, because people keep asking to take a picture with him among the other costumed people in the circle. how often do you get to see a random beautiful prince in the middle of the city? with pretty fairytale princess hair? how often!!!

...aside from the fact that xie lian is completely unfamiliar with cameras he is also really, really polite, and as people keep asking he just kind of. lets them take pictures with him and pose with him. it's been going on for like ten minutes with no sign of stopping.

if he spots another familiar face there's a moment where he will lock eyes with whoever it is, and the look on his face absolutely screams oh no help ]


STAR CIRCLE, TWO!
[ alternatively, once the photo taking seems to have died down, eventually, two kids come up to xie lian with shining eyes and ask him something, and... well. how can he say no!

so, you can also find xie lian, sitting on the edge of the fountain and allowing these two little girls to braid his hair, any which way they want. ykyk. ]


WILDCARD.
[ its week 6 you know how this goes! hit me up in dms or plurk for pcs! ♥ ]

[ Assume you knew this was happening somehow, whether it be a note, word of mouth, or some other means; regardless of how you were informed, you now know there is a meeting to occur in a secluded area of the park, away from the crowds and (hopefully) natives who may overhear. ]

Greetings, all of you, and my thanks for coming. Doubtless by now you are all well aware of why we are gathered today, yes? As usual, 'tis imperative that we pool together what we have learned during previous weeks, both new and old, as well as organize where we proceed from here.

[ Alphinaud gestures at everyone present. ]

Let us begin.

LICENSE EXAM

[ Maybe you are just having a nice time in the city. When you come across Power talking to someone at the roadside. They look a bit flustered and harried while Power has absolutely no problem existing. ]

This is my car! What are you doing with it? Step aside human, I am quite tired of walking and wish to take a ride!

[ The person protests. ]

Yes, of course I am licensed, I understand that human society would not let me drive otherwise, why would I own a car without a license? Who do you take me for? So silly but that is to be expected of someone who is trying to claim someone else's car! Now get out of here before I run you over!

[ I'm sorry, this is honesty week right...??? Hello...? ]


SHIBUYA CIRCLE (CITY DATE)

[ Power is up and around hanging about the city! She's clearly quite comfortable in this environment, weaving through the people like a fish through water, though it doesn't stop her from barking at the occasional person who steps a bit a tad too close to Ritty -- in dog form -- or shoves her a bit.

Despite the events of the weekend, she seems... well, relatively happy all things considered. Cheerful.
]

'Tis wonderful! I can walk around and nobody is batting an eye! I would not be allowed to do this in Tokyo!

[ And she hops on top of a roadside barrier fence, looking around. ]

Street food! There must be some good street food here somewhere! Or a movie?! I have never been to a theatre!


WILDCARD / PC

[ Go ham. Or pc me! Wahoo. ]

A. a hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away.

[Someone seems to have set up a small booth outside the apartments. Yes! Another booth! Though instead of wild rumors or crazy debates, this booth is just offering.............free hugs? That's what it says, on the little billboard behind the two men sitting at the table. The men in question being Herlock Sholmes and Kotetsu Kaburagi, along with their respective daemons.]

[If someone approaches, Sholmes just gestures to the sign.]


Well, it says what it says! What do you say? We all need a little more happiness, around these parts.

[So? You want a free hug, or not? (OOC: Kotetsu and/or Sholmes will reply to this prompt!)]

b. (sholmes voice) i believe this is what they would call "meta"

[Sometime later, Sholmes can be found in the park - he's easy to spot, because he's surrounded by some children who are perched around where he's sitting on a bench, book in his lap. Irene is somewhere nearby, pretending to be a common crow as to not be set upon by kids wanting to pet her. The book in question is......]

[Well, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Sholmes is reading it out loud, smiling, as his audience sits, enthralled.]


“Where is your warrant?” Sholmes half drew a revolver from his pocket. “This will have to serve till a better one comes.” “Why, you’re a common burglar.” “So you might describe me,” said Sholmes cheerfully. “My companion is also a dangerous ruffian. And together we are going through your house.”

[And so he continues, notably editing the names for "Sholmes" and "Wilson" as he goes along. When the children get bored and leave, he'll look up at whoever approaches.]

I do say, this "Arthur Conan Doyle" should be sued for copyright, my dear fellow. Far too similar publishing compared to my biographer! The gall of it all!

[He seems in good humors, regardless, despite the small dark circles under his eyes.]

[Sholmes in general can be seen browsing through things in the city, watching movies, and walking through the park! He's having a good time!]

A

[Rin has never been shy about his lack of interest in academics. He has never minced words over how book-dumb he thinks he is. Education just isn't his strong suit, and he accepts that.

Which is why it might be weird to see Rin in the nonfiction section of the library, surrounded by books about Japanese history. He definitely has at least a dozen or so in stacks around him, and he's currently leafing through the pages as he frowns thoughtfully.
]

So from that family...then Date...Sendai? Hmm...

[He is trying to learn a thing about Japanese history, it seems. Help would be appreciated though, he is. Struggling.]



B

[If you're not up for learning things, then maybe indulging in some snacks might be better! Because Rin has definitely raided a corner store for several kinds of candies and is grinning gleefully at his stash of sugary goods.]

Here, try this one!

[What did you get? A Sn*ckers? A K*t-K*t? Some Swedish F*sh? Who knows! Tag here to get assigned a candy bar.]

A. Street/Park Performing

[so last week, Allen got a certain outfit back. and being in this kind of modern city means there's modern makeup to be used to do up his face. maybe this kind of clown is a thing of the past but never let it be said that Allen Walker is not a very pretty white clown who pulls out all the stops when it comes to juggling, balancing, ribbon twirling, and acrobatics.

Rowan even has a cute little clown collar for herself and makes herself into part of the routine by occasionally stealing a prop or being a partner in the juggling.

it's a good way to make some coin on the side, too, really. mostly because Allen can and will easily approach people with a costume top hat expectantly. don't be cheap, now.]



B. Shopping

There really is so much...

["a gift" but he's never had to get one before and wouldn't know where to start? anyway, he's clearly giving a lot of the I <3 Kings merch a dubious look.]

at the arcade!

[ uwu what is this? owo

jk, but anyways, welcome to the arcade, kaeya is ogling all of the brilliantly glowing machines and devices, but in particular he's fascinated by a game called 'til dance do us part. there are two dancing pads and the trailer that scrolls across the screen depicts a long and winding journey of two heroes through a land of music and rhythm.

he leans over the back bar curiously before turning his head to YOU: ]


It needs two players, want to try?

WEDNESDAY : AFTER MINI-EVENT.

[personal profile] powerplay 2021-11-11 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Not longer after mini-event… like, seriously, not long at all. Like, IMMEDIATELY afterwards. If you come by the Park, you're going to see……. something.

It's… Power and someone! With very nice and seasonal strawberry latte Sunbucks drinks, together on a bench, just completely all over each other. Power, for her part, definitely seems to be trying to juggle holding this drink, an ice cream cone, and trying to hold hands all at the same time. She also just seems kind of confused on general but she's like, down for it.
]

This is quite nice, Roomie! 'Tis a nice day, and it's warm, and it's…

[ She trails off, clearly looking mega-confused, as she is a devil who has never had these feelings before, and is just kind of bright pink in the ears and face in general. Instead, she… shoves this ice cream in her face. And makes some kind of incomprehensible noise that maybe sounds like a question, you know, of the 'NICE WEATHER WE'RE HAVING HUH' variety. It's fine. ]

Oh my gosh, slow down! You're getting ice cream all over your face, sweetheart. [Giggling, Monika leans close enough that her tits are now squished against Power's arm, all while she reaches for her face with one hand.] Here, let me just...

[... Then, with a gentle swipe of her index finger, she scoops some of the ice cream off Power's face

and shoves it in her mouth.

Monika smacks her lips, smiling. Why.]

a. arcade time
[ finally! a city with a functional arcade! kings reminds flat of all the cosmopolitan cities that flat has visited (and those he hasn't as well!) so he feels more at home here than he has in any of the other worlds.

of course, this means that he's going to be spending hella time in the arcade.

he can be found playing...anything, really? but the real point is that he's getting a hell of a lot of tickets. seriously, what is this kid's luck? either way, when flat spots your character, jack will clack its beak in greeting, and he'll wave. ]


Hey, what's up?! Do you wanna play? Or do you want some of these tickets? Here, I'll trade them if you have more tokens.

b. water! balloon! fight!
[ however if you're closer to the park... well, you won't see flat right away.

but there is a water balloon that's whizzing your way. wonder who that could have come from??? either way, you should dodge! turns out that water balloon condoms hit hard! ]

[for the heavy of foot]

[It's Wedsnesday, and you're out walking down the street. Getting around the big city sure is a pain, isn't it? Well, you might be in luck, because a blue sports car pulls up to the curb beside you, its passenger window rolling down.

Kim's in the driver's seat, with Cecile sitting on the dash as a bird-loaf. He turns the radio down. (What was playing just now? You heard some lyrics that sounded like fist-fuck, but it might just be your imagination.)]


Want a ride?

[He'll offer to any familiar face, even if they're not particularly close. It's almost like he just wants an excuse to drive around the city.]

[wildcard / pc!!]

[alternatively, let's go for a drive in a pc! or... do whatever in a pc. pc me.]

[Were you looking forward to a peaceful evening? Well too bad! Anyone who is near the Woerm Church will see the doors burst open rather abruptly and a familiar white-haired idiot stumbles out.

His face is very fucked up at the moment. It's like someone or something carved strange angular lines around his eyes, spindling out like circuits that peter out as they reach the sides of his face. His hands have similar marks starting at his fingertips and going up past his wrists, but those are more difficult to see due to his hands being wrapped in a t-shirt and some hastily-applied bandages. All of these are raw and bleeding btw, he's a mess. And since he's shirtless, everyone will be able to see that it looks like he has some sort of chemical burning on his torso. And everywhere else that has exposed skin really. Someone's a bit too toasty!

His shouts will sound raspy and peter out as he tries to talk.
]

Help! We need help...

[And then he fukken. Falls forward and conks out against the ground, unconscious.

Oh look, he has a rather nasty 2nd degree burn covering his entire back too. Fancy that.

FRIDAY HEADCOUNT

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-12 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hello everyone, welcome to friday morning, the beginning of our rollercoaster of a fun park weekend at six flags woohoo!

in any case, wherever you are, as you're rolling out of curfew, there will be a very loud, mournful howl to summon everyone all together. here's kaeya, waving people in already hating that they once more must count their missing. polaris stands in front of him, tail lashing and licking at his teeth, a snarl on his face as he paces in front of kaeya, who... for the most part, looks like he's holding it together quite well. still, polaris creates a berth between him and anyone who comes close. ]


We all know the drill. Sound off as to where you were last night and let's get this done. As far as we're aware, we're still waiting on another group, so let's also go through what healing capabilities we have left among us.

To start, I was in the library with quite a few people... Yuri, Xie Lian, Baraqiel, Power, Monika, Yoo Joonghyuk, and Kim Dokja... the last of which has gone missing as of this morning. [ a brief pause, a low growl from polaris. ] Diluc was supposed to show as well, but he never dead.

[ he folds his arms over his chest. have at it, folks. tell us where you were. ]

[personal profile] bloodread 2021-11-12 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The doors of the church slam open. There's no shout for help or assistance, but maybe there doesn't need to be one. Red is a bright primary color after all, and the figure that steps out is drenched in it from head to toe. He shouldn't be too hard to identify, even if the cloak around his shoulders isn't the normal hoodie he wears and even if black is playing the minor part to red for today.

His steps down the stairs are a bit staggered, an awkward stop once he's down a few to glance behind him, to the other congregation of red in their party. ]
