[ you don't know when it happens but only that it does happen, and when it does you come face-to-face with a church it isn't the same church that you recognize from Kings—actually you've never seen this church before during all of your travels. it's a grand church with, interestingly enough, giant clock out in the front in the place where a cross would be. The clock, for those who are familiar, will be similar to that of an astronomical clock. it will the main celestial body present on the clock being a large sun and with a smaller moon that follows it. however, it doesn't matter whether or not you've seen this church or not because you're quickly given a prompt and a few options: ]
OBJECTIVE: Disable Guidance System
➤ WHICH KING WILL YOU BECOME?[ strange, and you're not given any more information other than this, but before you make your first move, you'll notice that closer to the church will be guards who seem to be armored and stationed at the front of the entrance. quite the curious sight and periodically there will be those in large, heavy looking cloaks that enter the building but not without showing a certain something to the guards before being allowed to enter. perhaps you should get to know one another and familiarize discuss the situation before moving forward. ]1. Wing King
2. Flame King
3. Fang King
4. Thorn King
5. Rumble King
6. Gem King
7. Thunder King
8. Pledge Queen

...fuck. [ Is that a good fuck or a bad one? Por que los dos. Reorienting himself Akira looks at who he's wound up with and huh. ]
I have no clue if this has to do with Baraqiel or if this is something separate but keep an eye out for any items we could take back. I'm not fucking up again.

[Sir Never-Been-In-This-Shit-Before, Kim Kitsuragi, is looking bewildered at the sudden change in scenery, and at the prompt displayed before them. Akira's words confirm his first suspicion, however, so it's time to do what he does best: deal with it.]
... So that's what this is. Okay.
What in the hell is this, then? [Gesturing at the prompt.]

[ not this shit again, diluc is looking around, taking in these new surroundings. ]
Again with this...
[ he's staring at the giant astronomical clock, when the prompt appears and he looks at it confused. ]
Disable Guidance System? Become a king? This is out of my realm of knowledge.

[ akira drops his head to the side, shaking his head. ]
...do you hear that or did one of my old curses decide to come along for the ride? [ kitsuragi and diluc will get wonderful thoughts about chattering, laughing mouths all over their skin. fun. ]
I don't know anything about a king either way.

I'm as in the dark as either of you.
[Neat! That's disturbing. Kim will actively try to ignore that.]
But it looks like we have to choose one to proceed... [He squints at the options. They're all very vague.]

[Diluc kind of looks like "Flame King" would suit him...]
Mhm. We're not going to get any more context than this, so there's no use overthinking it.
[Fuck it.] Wing King it is.

[ after they have decided they will be notified the following information much of the same way as the original prompt they received:
AKIRA KIJIMAafter the prompt is closed/ends, they will understand these to be truths, however are not given any more information as to what this means or how to activate these new abilities that they've gained. with that new information, what will be their next move? the prompt of their objective still hangs before them. ]
FANG KING
↳ has gained the ability to "shred" enemies and enhanced strength
KIM KITSURAGI
WING KING

DILUC RAGNVINDR
FLAME KING

[Squinting at his... Okay then.]
Sneaking in with an illusion...? Not a bad idea. I'd also like to avoid fighting, if possible.
[Those guards are armoured, and Kim's gun holds only one bullet. "Guns blazing" does not seem to be the move, here.]

[It turns out that a mental sigh is a thing, because that's what Kim's response to Akira is here.]
Right, if we could all disguise ourselves... [He watches another cloaked group going up to greet the guards.]
Are they showing something at the doors? Can any of you see what that is?
[If one of them can make it out, it probably won't be the guy with the shitty eyesight.]

[ So fucking try it???? ]
...you know what nevermind. [ Reaching into his pocket he pulls out a coin and then goes poof! Or that's probably what it looks like anyway, goodbye everyone else.
He's gonna march on up to the steps and see what the guards are looking at. ]

[???
Okay, bye Akira. Kim's just going to wait and see what happens.]

[ well, if diluc wanted to see what it was that they were exchanging then he wouldn't have been able to see much since he's just see a hands being shown holding...a thing. it will be a small object, however, and metallic from how it will reflect ever so slightly. so helpful. however, when akira decides to just up and use his coin's ability to make himself disappear and make his way over towards the guards well...
...
it's not like they have any idea that there's someone in front of him. they are deaf to his breathing or any kind of other noise he can make. it's not 100% fool proof so maybe he shouldn't test his luck but if akira was to proceed ahead without the others then he's more than welcomed to. the inside of the church, that he can see, looks pretty oridinary and nothing special but those cloaked figures from earlier haven't fully made it through the building.
so, as for kim and diluc... what are the two of them going to do? ]

[ Just as keikaku.
Saying Akira knows how to be stealthy isn't accurate, but he does know how to not stomp around and that is the most we can ask of him. Thankfully Nagako is around his shoulders at the moment in her mamushi form, so we have no kangaroo hopping to alert the guards either. For the time being he'll shadow the cloaked figures from before at a reasonable distance while taking in the inside of the church. ]

[Kim checks his watch. He's coming back, right...?
Did you see what they're holding?, he thinks in a purposely loud mental voice, hoping it reaches their presumably-invisible companion. Then to Diluc...]
In the meantime, let's see how these illusions work.

[ is he coming back? hopefully akira is coming back but if he isn't then i guess it's telepathy all the way except there's no visual only brain/emotion link. and for akira's shadowing, he'll want to make sure he isn't too much closer to the cloaked figures because they'll catch on that something isn't quite right behind them. a sixth sense? hmm. they'll take a moment to pause and make sure that someone didn't manage to sneak in without them knowing. (pity them.)
from where the cloaked figures stopped, he can see that there is an opening to another room—not typical as it opens into a room of more clockwork like machinery that's far more advance and completely foreign to the technology around them. or, well, what akira would be used to seeing. you gonna try your luck and scoot past them?
and as diluc makes an attempt to create the illusions, he'll realize that he needs to be moving in order to create them instead of them being station illusions, they'll be more of after images of where he would have been. however, to make things not as awkward or to make the matter almost moot, it he will find himself hard to track while the after images are created. the "bend light" aspect of his ability. quite useful!
however the after images of diluc will not last forever and will disappear after about 30 seconds. respectable but also a pity. ]
