WEEK THREE MINGLE 2.0

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.

It’s easy! Like I can do it right now!

Dokja and Joonghyuk are obviously lovers, but Dokja would also match really well with someone like Dil —

[ AND THEN SHE GETS SMACKED ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD.

But she smacks it back! ]


Rude. Anyway, as I was saying.

Dokja would match well with Diluc — maybe Miss Yelena, if he’s lucky and can act right. Rex is childish and easy to tease so I can see him with either of our set of twins.

And uncle… the best guy here who’d be worthy of his affection would be Mister Kotetsu.

[Van Zieks slams his leg on the table and probably disrupts whatever Rex was drawing at the moment, whoops.]

Absolutely not. I do not care if you involve the others here but kindly leave me out of it.

[ where’s the background music for this

She slams her hand down on the table! ]


And what’s your argument for why I can’t? Shouldn’t I be able to treat you the same as I do the other two — it wouldn’t be considered “equal” otherwise!

[ Good idea Rex, meanwhile Dokja was taking the opportunity to drink some water before promptly spitting and choking on it at the suggestion that Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk were lovers.

Have fun with discussing your own lovelife van Zieks, Dokja here needs a moment. ]
W-We're not...!

[Ryza, probably like this.]

For one, I completely reject your assignment! It is absurd! I would never-
[The tube man hits him again, and he thwacks it back.]

Clearly Mr Kim also disagrees with your analysis!

But who are you to deny me?

[ She places a hand to her chest, her fingers splayed out. She poses like a woman of utmost elegance, scoffing. ]

A matchmaking expert? I have my doubts! All of you are men -- and a young boy -- who have clearly have had your first kiss here! If you've even done that much, cherry boys.

Hey! I'm not that young! And I've done plenty of kissing back home!

I'm twenty-eight years old, you really think I haven't had my first kiss until now? Assuming I'm bothering with kissing during all of this anyways.

[ Stares flatly at Reze, daughter please. Anyways he has a tube man under his arm to avoid it smacking him anymore. ]

[ Reze smiles, looking at them both. ]

I don't believe you either of you, no! But if you guys have experience that'll make -- [ She then gestures to the crowd of people assembling after a certain leggy slam against the table. ] doing your job that much easier, no~?

[Van Zieks, hearing Kim Dokja's words, and looking fastly away. Perhaps someone was older than 28 years old when they got their first kiss and perhaps it was here? Don't worry about it.]

I-I am just saying there are plenty of other people here for you to make these statements about.

[ folds his arms defensively and decides to just let van zieks's kissing insecurity lie ]

Since when does kissing make me more qualified to tell other people who to kiss?

..I think we're getting further and further off-topic. We need candidates to matchmake.

Yes, and you three shall be my examples.

[ She clasps her hands together. ]

Alright! So first customers -- Oh, oh! [ She's waving down two dudes from the crowd. She can feel it... those guys are friends. The connection between them is obvious but have they considered going... deeper? Friendship to lovers, who doesn't love this trope??

Anyway, Reze is the one giving advice and someone needs to stop her: ]


You guys should kiss and find out if there's that spark, y'know? The spark!

[personal profile] winebar 2021-10-22 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly van Zieks knows he should stop her but if it pulls her attention away from him he's not going to.]
