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.

The only cat-ish guy I know is a wizard... Wait are they only boys? No catmen?

How cat-ish are we talking here, exactly?

[ opens his mouth to give an informative answer, but...then he pauses and closes his mouth. ]

You know, I'm not sure actually. I've never heard of catmen but they have to exist, right? Unless like, all catboys get euthanized or something...

... That's fuckin' grim.
third_alternative: (👉👈😬)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-19 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...hey, isn't there that one series where people are all born catboys and catgirls but then they lose the ears and tails when they uh...you know...for the first time?

Maybe that's just how it works for all of them, and they're not really getting euthanized.

Oh! That’s an interesting one!

[ no it’s not. ]
third_alternative: (uhhhh here is how i'm NOT guilty)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-19 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean...I guess? I did remember it out of all the other anime out there.

S...Should I know...?

[Some fear.]

You know...

Like...getting intimate...?

You stop that.

What, too chicken to handle a little bit of biology?

[ i mean. yeah. rex is too, he wasn't comfortable explaining it either, but he's also gonna lord it over nero if he's being even more of a weenie about it ]

That is absolutely not how it works.
third_alternative: (i'll take that bet)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-19 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you know? You got personal experience with catboys?
arcsplainist: (pic#13456057)

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-10-19 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
They are called miqo'te, and are not exclusive to only males!

[ so, yes ]
third_alternative: (whateeeeever you say!)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-19 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, no need to take it so personally!

I know catgirls exist, but the debate thingy was talking about catboys.

But hey, you oughta know then--what is the deal with catmen?
arcsplainist: (pic#15002586)

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-10-19 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Their... "deal"? What is it that you are seeking, precisely? 'Tis not so strange to think that children grow into adults, regardless of who they are.
third_alternative: (preaching to the techno choir!!)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-19 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, which is why it's so weird you only ever hear about catboys and catgirls, and not catmen and catwomen.

[personal profile] arcsplainist 2021-10-19 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I don't know about that. Typically, I speak with "catmen" and "catwomen" on a daily basis.
third_alternative: (i'm not listening!!!)

[personal profile] third_alternative 2021-10-21 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well...then tell 'em to get better PR! Because no one else has ever heard of them being a thing.
