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.

I got some jewelry, if you're interested in that.

[He is dressed like this.]

What about these flat rocks?

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I do like those glasses ...

[It’s so bright out here in the desert?]

Oops-stones. Make you go oops.
perfectdistance: ([4k] Question 1)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oops? So like a mini curse?
headmt: [ dejasquietplace ] (36.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, sure. Or what someone not evil might refer to as a “prank.”

[Why do you want to curse people?]
perfectdistance: ([G] Concern 3)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
We've been dealing with a lotta curses lately 's all.

[ Just. Very tired. ]
headmt: [ kreugan ] (85.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Just nodding like he understands that. ]

Suppose that’s life, isn’t it?

[ Pulling over two of the stones and one of the glowsticks.]

For the glasses.

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure is...

[Humm...]

Got some spices instead of the glowstick? 'm a cook.
headmt: [ bottleshark ] (53.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods and turns around to dig through some of the boxes in the back. He’ll come back with what looks like some dried peppers! Spicy.]

Better?
perfectdistance: ([4k] Smile 4)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. How many times do the oops-stones work? Once per rock?
headmt: [ kreugan ] (85.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Once a rock! Also you aren’t going to want to retrieve it. And please don’t use it within 100 feet of my stall?

[For the record, the oops-stone is ... a stink bomb. Oops-stones, when activated, produce a noxious odor in a 20ft radius for 10 minutes, and the radius of odor moves with the item. After it’s used, it goes inert.]
perfectdistance: ([G] Concern 3)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is.

So funny.

He looks a little more critically at the rocks.]


Ex... plain the rock situation a little better?
headmt: [ midnightartist ] (13.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I did explain it?

[Holding out his hand.]

Glasses?
perfectdistance: ([4k] Chat 1)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what happens if I use them? Besides a very vague "oops".

[But he does take his glasses off. Not willing to switch just yet.]
headmt: [ kreugan ] (85.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn’t part of the fun that it’s one of life’s little surprises ... ?
perfectdistance: ([G] Smile 4)

[personal profile] perfectdistance 2021-10-18 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

[Immediately assigning West.

He does switch his glasses for the stones and the peppers.]


Thanks for the trade.
headmt: (78.)

[personal profile] headmt 2021-10-18 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Putting on the sunglasses. Hell yea.]

No refunds! Have a lovely day.
