WEEK THREE MINGLE 2.0
ahnkeen: week 3 mingle
in the sands of time
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.

Have any of you spoken to the dead as of recent? Since the last time it was mentioned in public?

I was told that they are in a static realm where "dust settles" while we are traveling through different worlds. [ Crosses his arms. ] They might know something we don't, considering this realm sounds tied to this universe. If we can get that any information from them, it can benefit both of us.
[ mmm. ]
But we need to be careful about what we say and ask.

[Hm.]
Like a space between spaces...a limbo, you'd say? How very intriguing. I assume one can send messages back, through our masked benefactors?

[ Alphinaud glances around, checking to see if he has everyone's attention, then: ]
As some of us may know by now, all groups who return do not do so empty handed—indeed, we receive a fair amount of arguably beneficial items. There have been, however, two groups who have come back with one extra item; at first, or even second glance, they may not seem to have any apparent use. For example, I had been given a doll that was warm to the touch; the other I am aware of was described to be as a charm, said to be cool to the touch.
I confess it took me some time ere I learned what it meant, but I have recently learned these items were possessions of the Watchers. Should these disappearances continue, as... unfortunately, we may expect them to, I only ask if you find yourself in such circumstances, you keep close what you may suspect to be more of their belongings and return them anon.
[ He looks around again, brow furrowing. ]
If this reaches who it must needs, that is.
