WEEK THREE MINGLE

ahnkeen: week 3 mingle in the sands of time
32 Remain

Waking up this morning will reveal some unfamiliar surroundings. The soft ripples of the canals and dulcet tones of otamatone fade from your ears, replaced by a steady, dry breeze and the ambient noise of the local populace filtering in through open windows. Another thing you'll notice is that it's warm - very warm. Light dress is recommended here.

You all awaken in your beds—although they aren't the beds that you found yourself falling asleep in previously, and you might not even see the same face as you had the previous night. But one by one, as you filter out, you find yourselves in a house, a bit on the older side but still comfortable. The decor is neutral and inoffensive, much like you'd expect of a place that sees many visitors.

Unlike the previous worlds you've visited, Ahnkeen is a bustling, busy place, full of people of all sorts - and not all are human, so please check your biases at the door. Though the world around them is dry and scarce of resources, the market town itself is alive and well, business booming, and the merchants here keep a close eye on their wares in case of any thieves.



Traversing down the streets of the housing district are the Temporals. For the most part they seem ready to receive everyone. Throwing their hands into the air and meandering down Rameel will be spearhead the introductions this time—their puma daemon trailing behind them. As an extra treat, they'll even seem to have their “black box” from previous with them this fine morning on full blast.

"Hello, hello everyone! WELCOME TO AHNKEEN!! The home to the great markets...probably. I hope more of you are used to these scenery changes by now, and by popular demand are your favorite Temporals. We've changed the set for the hat trick, but we won't stop there."

Satariel is standing close to Yomiel, their undercloak absent and their daemon raven-formed on their shoulder - it squawks after Rameel yells the welcome, but they offer everyone a warm smile. They do reach over to... turn down the "black box" of Rameel's, without looking, smile still intact. "For those of you that kept your things from previous worlds, especially the treasure from our adventures underwater, you might find that they come in handy here. We are in a market, after all."

The last Watcher has also shed their undercloak, staring at Rameel while their polecat daemon chitters. "Anyway," they turn to the rest with a vague gesture at Satariel. "Try not to steal too much this time. The last few worlds were pretty quiet, but you might run into trouble with the locals here if you keep that up."


With the new week, travelers will find that they are no longer connected physically and emotionally to another participant. As opposed to being drawn to one person in particular, they'll find themselves with the need to be physically close to any other participant they speak to. Go on, hold their hand, get your snuggle on - it'll make you feel better. This effect lasts all week.

[Who’s Molly ... ? Also maybe amongst the little figurines there is a little purple guy with two swords. Aw.]

What do you have?
allyship: (3.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-18 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[STOP KINGSLEY glad there's a figurine of him tho

hm... he goes through his pockets and pulls out a necklace made with last week's memory shard glass except cracked that, according to mod description, is very pretty and rainbow-like?]

[Holding his hand out?]
allyship: (86.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-18 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
... You're not going to steal it, are you?

[sorry strange purple being]
headmt: (61.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Looking offended!!! But mostly in a theatrical sort of way. So he’s probably not really offended.]

Banish the thought! Wouldn’t even consider it. Also I can see from here that’s it’s busted, so if you think I’m risking it all for a broken necklace ...
allyship: (6.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-18 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[suspicious...

but he'll hand it over!]

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes it and runs!!!!!

No I’m just kidding, he just looks at it. It is shiny ...
]

What are you hoping for in exchange?
allyship: (10.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-18 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[he thinks.]

... What would you recommend for a 14-year-old girl with aggressive tendencies, a 16-year-old girl who pursues knowledge, or swordsmen of varying natures? [how to differentiate... hm.] One of them likes drinking and treasure hunting, I think...? Another likes swords and martial arts, and the third apparently likes bar fighting and sweets.

[i came really close to differentiating between them by levels of sluttiness but i decided not to

anyway he owes so many goddamn people]

[Hold on, counting all those people up in his head.]

For one broken necklace? Maybe a handshake.

[God. Well, looking around.]

If you’re really looking and have anything else to throw into the pile ... [Going to dig around! He pulls out

- the SOCK EM BOPPERS again for an aggressive 14 year old.
- Another book - this one titled Der Katzenprinz. It’s cute. Though also in Fantasy German.
- For the various swordsmen ... out comes a bottle of Lionett wine.
- A sword ... ! But it’s made of gold and kind of seems like it’d just bend if you actually tried to hit anything with it.
- And finally, one of those oversized lollipops.

How about these?

[he nods, thinking more. there's still the treasure from the underwater place, but also...]










Do you want a nun outfit?
headmt: (61.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends what a nun is?
allyship: (3.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-19 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. That's what others have been calling it.
headmt: [ vyco ] (55.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-20 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeah alright. Why not?
allyship: (46.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-20 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I'll go and retrieve it, then.

[because he doesn't just. carry it around with him.

he holds out his hand to take the necklace back in the meantime.]

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-20 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
This is a downpayment, sir. I did have to go find all those gifts for you. Ensures you’ll come back with the goods.
allyship: (86.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-20 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
... Isn't that just part of your job...?

[but fine, keep the downpayment. :/ he'll walk away, then, before coming back later.]

[Shouting after him!]

I’m a pirate! My job is not having a real job!
allyship: (35.)

[personal profile] allyship 2021-10-20 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
[yelling back—]

Don't sound so proud of that!

[anyway, he later comes back with a (sexy) nun outfit. thanks rameel.]
