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.

[This is all pretty stupid. As usual.]

Do you need to keep insulting him to distract from the fact that you have no good cards?

[veraltwin]

[Without even turning her head, Alisaie's pointing in the direction of the discard pile.]

I see that.

[arcsplainist]

[ Do you, Alisaie. ]

...

Come to think of it... What is that sound?

[aono]

"It's nothing."

[When Alisaie says that, Rin also looks in that direction too.

And the guy with the cards starts eating a couple of the cards.]

[reflash]

They're not even trying to be subtle.

[veraltwin]

[I mean no she doesn't see it but LET HER HAVE THIS

Anyways why is he eating the cards]

That's disgusting.

[Well, it's. Hm. Are they really pulling from the discard pile anyway?]

[arcsplainist]

[ but why ]

... S– sir, do we not need all of the cards to continue playing?

[aono]

"Are you calling me a cheater?!"

[Now the man is SCOWLING up at the group.

Rin is looking hopelessly at the other three. NOW do they fight?]

[reflash]

It's going to be hard for you to deny that you're a cheater.

[veraltwin]

If you truly expect us to believe you're no cheater, why did your friend just drop a spare set of cards to the floor?

[arcsplainist]

"Since ya think I'm such a cheater at cards, let's settle this a different way!"

[ Before Alphinaud can get so much of a word in, the man throws a punch aimed towards Yukio. ]

[aono]

[Oh fuck no, Rin is immediately diving in front of Yukio so he can take the punch and punch right back.

The other NPCs in the area are now flipping tables to join this brawl.

...someone grab the ring (and Yukio's glasses) before they get lost.]

[reflash]

[Oh, that's very kind of Rin. It gives Yukio a chance to handle the guy coming up behind Alphinaud, grabbing him and throwing him back towards another NPC.]

I think we're done here.
