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.

's so hot...

[He's in his summer vacation clothes, but he will complain. Nero's leaning slightly against their shoulder now that he's close enough.]

[Hi hello. There’s a crowded looking stall down one of the alleyways, with a velvet tablecloth and Captain Kingsley Tealeaf’s Legally Sourced Goods & Services on a banner in gold script behind him. The vendor at this particular stall is something of a visual assault. For one, he’s purple, heavily tattooed, and the pirate-style outfit is not at all desert appropriate. Apparently someone has an aesthetic and they’re sticking to it, godsdammit. Whatever the deal here is, he looks extremely bored until someone walks by, sitting up straighter and immediately starting to grin at ... whoever you are.]

Looking for something in particular?

[It’s kind of a mess, and there’s more boxes and stacks behind him so if you dig you might find something fun? Just on the top of the table there’s quite a bit out already.

- A scattering of ... weird looking rod things that seem to twist in the middle
- a couple of flat rocks with a big X drawn on the top of each one
- a ring with a ruby-red stone embedded in it sitting in a jewelry box
- a magic wand! Or just like a stick covered in glitter.
- a few little figurines that look like people. Or at least humanoid? Some are holding swords or posing like they’re about to send a spell off.
- Him ...
- A book called Tusk Love. Looks great. The cover has a dashing half-orc admiring the swooning bosom of a blue lady. Wow!
- Some tea packets.
- A folding cot. I heard there was a bed situation.
- a stand carefully cradling two arrows - each tipped with with a strangely heart-shaped tip
- Jewelry and other shiny stuff. In case you want to bling out.

Whatever you’re looking at, it does feel like the guy here is keeping a fairly careful eye on you.

[Susato is here, dressed a little more lightly in a blouse and skirt. She leans in automatically towards Satariel, though she seems a bit embarrassed by it.]

Good morning. Quite a vibrant place we have found ourselves in.

Wow! This is such an amazing place!

It’s so good to see you again, Satariel. How are you?!

[Wow, look at this purple fellow.]

Good morning, sir! These items are all for sale?

[She came for the tea packets, but she's eyeing that kitty cat.]

It's always a little rainy where I'm from.

Ever visited a desert before?

[Allen is suddenly very thankful for the clothes he ganked from the last place because now he has simple button up shirt, trousers, and a waist coat. though he's had to roll up his sleeves for the heat.

he's poking around at the market, mostly just looking around, but he starts a little and looks over to them.]


Ah, no, no I should be fine. I know how to get by in markets like this.

[gambling. the answer is always gambling.]

My objections to the very notion of playing games right now aside, should not one's beloved and betrothed be one in the same?
