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.

[ Well, she's coming back just in time to see Spike kick Sholmes in the head.

You know what, sure.

She kicks him in the leg, too. ]

Get up! Clown!

[OW?????????]

[JUST LOOKS SO AFFRONTED HELLO]

Miss DEVIL! Could you please be more kind to people who just DIED?

Oh hey, it worked. [Offers Power a high five.]

[ ABUSE OF THE DEAD WORKS. ]

Hurley!

[ SHE SOUNDS QUITE HAPPY. DESPITE HER ABUSING THE SHIT OUT OF HIM. ]

I did it! My blood worked! He's come back to life!

[ YEAH!!!

And she just tackle hugs him around the middle. ]

Ah-

[Oh, she's hugging him. In all his. Steampunk getup? It's fine.]

[He's still very rattled from the head kick and. Everything else. But after a moment, he embraces her, wincing.]

Yes, yes. I'm back. We're...we're all back.

This goes to the top slot of worst failures! Terrible prank! Do better next time!

[ Though she's also looking at his hand. Or you know, lack thereof. ]

It...wasn't a prank...

[And yeah, his left hand is just...gone! Like someone went and guillotined it off.]

[Also it's still bleeding a little. Yuck.]

[ WHERE THE FUCK DO I REPLY FOR YOU CRYSTAL.... sits here. ]

Hello Mr. Detective. Shall we get you patched up?

[ Well Rameel is here, so get your ass patched up Sholmes. She will help hold him up so he can have whatever done to him.

Uh....Rameel?

[His head is POUNDING since SOMEONE KICKED IT. THANKS.]

What...what will it cost?

[YOU WERE DEAD BITCH]

[ coughs at this ]

Looks like maybe not that much. Our favorite Susato is quite quick on her feet.

[i'm not here officially but there is a blonde elf with her arms folded across her chest, ears pinned back, watching all of this chaos with an upset look.

y'all.]

[His vision is bleary, but he looks over at her?]

[Oh. Hi. Sorry he died in front of her salad.]

[ LISTEN YOU COULD LOOK AWAY FROM ALL OF US IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THEY SHOWED UP DEAD IN A CHURCH ]

[ CLAPS FROM WHERE SUSATO IS ]

Great job you two!

[ let it be known that Rex has just kind of been standing a few feet away watching Sholmes's corpse get beat up on, but once he seems to be alive and awake, he slumps over a little in relief ]

Well, you're not dead anymore, so. Yeah.

Yes. I. Feel that, certainly. Being dead was...decidedly more peaceful, somehow.

[And then a grimace.]

Not really, maybe...

Being dead isn't peaceful, it's boring!

...it'll get better once you get patched up. [ he doesn't really know what to say. Rex isn't really in the business of consoling or helping others who've been injured--just being injured himself.

He glances at Sholmes's...stump. ]

If you want...I can try and make you a new one of those? [ points. at the stump. ]

...Huh?

[And he looks over at his stump and his. Face just pales.]

Ah. I see.

[ oh. oh god, he didn't even know. Rex winces. He didn't make it any worse, but somehow he feels like he did. ]

It's...it's not so bad! We can get you a new one, probably!

Like I said, I can help make one, if...if you want.

No, it's alright...ah, I didn't think it would...stay this way...

[Mumbling to himself.]

And make one? I...suppose I'll have to accept. At some point. Later.

[he is TIRED he just DIED]
