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.

We agreed, no heroic sacrifices.

You're far more likely to die of your wounds than me.

Thank you. Pray do not let him insist you treat one of the others first.

That kinda wound is serious.

[A solemn nod as Nero is going to head his direction.]

I'm not sacrificing anything, I am simply prioritizing.

[Ziekers pls.]

Do you truly think my brother won't be hovering in but a moment's time?

[Speaking of whom...]

[TCH.]

I want you three's care spoken for, first. That is all.

[From over here:]

I'm fine other than my arm, so you go first.

[He tries to fingergun but only one hand can do it right now.]

[Oh, good grief. Setting aside Alphinaud for a moment, Alisaie's glaring at him--it's only the fact that they're both injured that's preventing him from getting anything further.]

You are to stop this self-sacrificial nonsense at once. You were the only one who saw everything of our journey and you certainly understood more of their story than I. Or have you forgotten the responsibility entrusted to us already?

[In spite of the fire in her voice, she's having to take more pauses than she ought to in order to breathe through her injuries, her voice trembling every once in a while when her back burns particularly badly. Why are you making her lecture you right now!!!]

Your injuries are just as egregious as my own. Stop minimizing them.

[TCH!!!]

... I am not refusing treatment. I am certain we have enough hands for everyone to be seen to. There is no need for you to lecture me.
[HE'S SO TIRED, ALISAIE.]

Then stop making me do so.

I am not. Go let your brother tend to you.
