WEEK THREE MINGLE 2.0

[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.

MINI EVENT: EVERY DAY WE'RE HUSTLING

[grigori]

MINI-EVENT 3
every day we're hustling

 

 

Happy Wednesday morning, everyone! While the start of the day is uneventful, your daemons eventually perk as if they've heard something, and will lead you to marketplace with the understanding that you've been summoned, so to speak. Your Watchers are waiting for your arrival there—but it doesn't seem to be a pressing matter, and they're ready to greet you from the get-go.

Yomiel is up front, bringing them a wave of cool air. Enjoy it before you go out on assignment! "You're making a lot of trades here, right? So we're going to help you earn some more stuff to trade with."

"The locals will appreciate it!" Satariel stands with them, having looped their arms. Suffer, Yomiel, in affection. "They've actually offered some jobs and errands, since it seems like this is peak season for them. They could use the extra hands!"

On Yomiel's other side, it's Rameel who is also clinging to them with their head against their's as they totally are taking advantage of cool air. "And as wonderful consumers and customers as we have become, it's only right that we take full advantage of this."

Once they finish speaking, Yomiel shoves them off. Time to get to work.

[Go find a lost cat doesn't seem that bad? Doubt there's much in the prize pool, but he's got a soft spot for them. Sure, time to go looking for this little lost cat.]

D'ya hear that?

[mew.]

[greatdeduction]

Hm! Yes! Indeed, I do think our ears have caught a sign of the little animal.

[And he's looking up, frowning.]

I daresay, though, I did think it came from above...

Team Capitalism and Questionable Child Labor

[cranelike]

Eh?

(Looking at A-qing and Allen.)

Aren't you a little young for this...

(ISNT THERE AN AGE REQUIREMENT FOR THE HOOKAH BAR)

[lefthandpath]

I assure you, I've done work of this nature before plenty of times.

[WHAT ARE CHILD LABOR LAWS IN VICTORIAN AU ENGLAND?]

team weast (wonderful extreme asskicking super tops)

[spydey]

[ yelena is just fuckin. standing here, squinting in confusion. she looks at the stall. she looks at the others. ]

What the hell is a weast.

[allyship]

These directions are utterly useless!

TEAM KING GREG AND HIS ROUND TABLE!

[callalilies]

I really didn't expect to get an assignment from a frog, but maybe if he's asking us to get him some kingly wear, perhaps he'll turn into a prince if we kiss him.

[ he glances down his shirt at where greg is joining them for their venture, just chillin it seems now that his directives have been given. ]

In any case... [ polaris as a snowy ermine is perched on his shoulder, having a look about the market. ] I'd hate to take anything too expensive, let's see about keeping our thieving footprint fairly light. [ ppl gotta eat. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ he's just gonna give greg a pat from his cosy little carry spot, right between kaeya's tids. ]

Sounds like an interesting challenge. Everything's got to be frog sizes, so we're gonna need to be creative. [ as his feet pravda, in her lioness form today, stalks around the nearby stalls, sniffing at what's on their surfaces and bearing no mind to the concerned looks she's getting. ]

Yeah. And getting caught will have consequences. Maybe we need some sort of distraction?

Team Reze gets everyone a date

[winebar]

[Well. van Zieks isn't thrilled about this but it's fine. Making a sign should be easy at least, right? He picks up a pen to start writing the name out, but...

Well, that's not what he meant to write and beyond that it's definitely-

He scribbles it out fastly. Tries again. Scribbles that out. Picks up another pen. IT KEEPS HAPPENING. He's turning red.]

Wh-There's something wrong with these pens.

[quiz]

[ When she comes to check on how the signs are going, she’s trying so hard not to laugh. ]

Oh. Um, yeah! [ She snickers, shoulders trembling. ] You’re… maybe Rex should have a try — I…

Why are the balls so big?

team 20 million gald

[burnstrike]

[ Hoo boy, this is not going to be a fun one. No wonder the guy couldn't find other help for this. ]

Feels kinda sleazy taking a job like this... [ sigh. ] All right, so we're going to the hookah bar first? Think we oughtta come up with a game plan before we head in there?

[sponsoredby]

Only half of us can go in there, but we should get it out of the way.

[ He, too, doesn't live the sound of this. ]

I think I'd rather be cleaning the canals again.

[ Finley's tail flicks in annoyance. ]

Team St*rbucks

[naqqali]

I do not wish to see what sort of consequences we will face if we fail, so we might as well get started.

[ uniform: ON. ]

[yueshen]

To treat their workers with threats - of course they would have difficulty maintaining staff.

[ xie lian, workers rights advocate

is also here in his little work uniform! he's very cute, with a little apron and everything. ] What sort of drinks are we to make?

Team Twins x2

[aono]

[Gambling... This is reminding Rin of a conversation he had last week. So he's going to lean over to the other three to whisper something:]

Psst! I don't think actually playing will help, unless any of you are really good at cheating at cards.

[He already knows Yukio probably isn't, but what about the A-twins?]
