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.

WILL MIRA'S BLOODPRESSURE SKYROCKET: YES OR NO

[taptap]

[ her judges wig is attached to her stick ]

Aren't fried chicken wings made with some sort of bread? A-qing doesn't think that's enough to count but perhaps...?

[perfectdistance]

Who told you that?

[taptap]

[ she points directly at sholmes ]

Weird-jiu said it! Chicken is just chicken isn't it? You need more ingredients to make it a sandwich..!

[greatdeduction]

I'm not saying anything! I wasn't the one who wrote these topics, you know! I'm an impartial observer, my dear madam!

[taptap]

You're the one who read it out loud...!

[perfectdistance]

You need two pieces of bread to make a real sandwich. Otherwise it's just fried chicken. 'n besides, sandwiches shouldn't have bones in 'em.

[taptap]

Sandwiches are like bao, right? They should be food that you can eat quickly when you are traveling. Fried chicken is much more of a snack.

[malewife]

"Sandwiches" aren't real.

[taptap]

[ say what ]

Ah?

mine did

[bloodread]

Flour which makes bread, but that doesn't count.

laughs i'm so sorry

[taptap]

It's much more than just breading to make a sandwich, isn't it? Even bao has much more than just that!

[bloodread]

Yeah, you put toppings and stuff on it too. [ Mmm, bao. ]

That'd be like calling sausage a sandwich.

[taptap]

[ her nose is wrinkling ]

But there's no bread in sausage........

[bloodyromance]

By that logic, aren't a lot of things sandwiches? Pies, tarts, beef wellington, schnitzel...

Is porridge just a milk sandwich?

[greatdeduction]

[from the judge's table:]

Am I a sandwich...?

[escardos]

If you’re cut in half you might be.

[greatdeduction]

Hmmm. The skin would be the bread...

[STOP]

[bloodyromance]

Your outfit does have the same consistency of bread.

[greatdeduction]

Does it? I like bread.

[:)]

[taptap]

[taptap]

[ that seems wrong and vaguely disgusting? anyway, ]

Would it be...? A-qing thinks a sandwich is sandwich and to classify other things as such would be incredibly confusing...!

[bloodyromance]

Right but if you take a sandwich and you grind up the individual parts and put it in a bowl, is it still a sandwich or have you just made something terrible.

[aono]

No, it's more like a batter. You wouldn't called fried vegetables a sandwich.

[taptap]

[ she mouths 'batter??' to herself ]

Aiyah.... So despite the breading- batter? Used on the chicken it does not count as the "flour" portion that makes up a sandwich. Then there is a difference between the two and other things cooked similarly..!

[aono]

Yeah! Every single ingredient makes a difference when it comes to cooking. Hell, you get two entirely different kinda cookies depending on how much of the flour or eggs you add.
