WEEK THREE MINGLE

[grigori]

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.

[ What a precious child. Although, now having wandered in here, part of her is internally screaming 'where are you parents,' -- look, she doesn't know, okay, ]

Create...?

[ This question is full of both confusion and curiosity. ]

[zerotohiro]

[what's a parent. but he likes when people are curious and it's probably just because he likes showing off.]

Yeah! You know, like...making your own stuff. Customizations? That sort of thing.

[naqqali]

So one would create their own... mechanism? Like those? [ points to the rollybots on the table. ]

I think that is quite interesting, but I am not sure I have much use for something like that?

[zerotohiro]

I could teach you to make something simple if you really wanted for the right price. Or I could make it myself to do whatever you want. That's the cool part about upgrades. It makes a droid unique.

[but there's a pause as he thinks. how to make a sale...]

So what would you have a use for?

[naqqali]

[ She thinks about it-- really thinks about it-- when suddenly she snaps to attention and declares: ] A death detector! A mechanism that can calculate and deduce chances of death in any situation!

[ ... ]

Or maybe, um, something else, like a means of protection? Would that be more reasonable?

[zerotohiro]

[OH. OKAY. he jumps a little at the sudden declaration, but he pauses for a moment to consider this.]

Uh...I don't know how much I could do about making a death detector, but I could make you a fighter droid maybe? I'm a little low on parts, but it could help protect somebody enough to get an advantage.

[naqqali]

[ A little more excitedly: ] I will take it! I do not have any money, but surely we could make a trade?

[zerotohiro]

Okay, okay. I'm willing to negotiate at least and we'll see what we can come up with. What've you got to trade for it?

[and as a usual disclaimer please check with your mods regarding the limitations of this droid so i don't break their game ♥]
