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.

[ He stands there, arms crossed. ]

Pizza is a vegetable. Yes or no?

[taptap]

What is pizza?

[sponsoredby]

[ oh no.......... ]

It's a delicious food that brings happiness. Maybe I can get a Watcher to help with that.

[taptap]

[ the curse of being ye olde.......... ]

A food that brings happiness...? Then it cannot be a vegetable, can it?

[ she's helping! ]

[ oh, very cute. ]

I guess not. But it can have a lot of vegetables on it.

[taptap]

[ her nose wrinkles like that absolutely sounds false even to a ye olde who was on a mostly vegetarian diet ]

It's actually really good! I swear.

[taptap]

[ hmphs ]

It sounds strange! [ a beat ] A-Qing wants to try it.

I'll see what I can get my hands on.

[perfectdistance]

Explain a pizza.

[sponsoredby]

[ Oh. Hello there. ]

It's a circular shaped food. Crust on the bottom, some tomato sauce on it, cheese, and your choice of toppings. Vegetables, meats, pineapple. Whatever you want.

[perfectdistance]

Okay.

It ain't a vegetable.

Even if it's a vegetarian pizza?

[perfectdistance]

Did the whole pizza grow outta the ground?

[sponsoredby]

Maybe in some world it could?

[perfectdistance]

Have ya ever seen it happen?

[sponsoredby]

Not yet.

[perfectdistance]

Ain't a veggie.

[sponsoredby]

Even if it was shaped like one?

[perfectdistance]

Just 'cause somethin' is shaped like a carrot doesn't mean it is a carrot.

[sponsoredby]

Not with that attitude.

But if you claim it's a carrot, it's possible it could be one if you stick to your claim.

[perfectdistance]

...

Do you hate vegetables that much?

[sponsoredby]

No? Not really.

[malewife]

No.

Are you sure about that? Going to need to hear your pitch.
