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.

[afterword]

[ Jin's attention seems to settle with Akira, wagging her tail a little.

Dokja does acknowledge him with a look of relief. ] Feeling any better today?

[bloodread]

I don't feel like an organ's gonna fall out anymore, so yeah I'm good. [ Looking around a little, Nagako scents the air with her tongue. ]

Who's missing?

[afterword]

Good. [ Now he'll give him a light head pat. After, does he slightly turn to look at everyone else, Jin moving in turn. ]

As far as we're aware.. Rex Salazar, Susato Mikotoba, Tsurumaru Kuninaga are the three people that had curfews with someone and disappeared by morning. Other than that, no word from Yukio Okumura yet. [ So maybe four people. Unless Yukio happens to show up before the end of the day. Chances are he probably curfewed somewhere by himself just like Spike and Kim did. ]

1/2

[ Ah? Getting a headpat surely is a thing, why does this keep happening to him.

...he doesn't feel bothered though, more just like tsun in the headlights. ]

[bloodread]

[ But then he hears the list of the missing and goes still. ]

Fucking of course.

[afterword]

It has to at least be the one we weren't able to get last week having made another move.

[ Because the Watchers did say there was more than one killer still alive, and in the end? They only were able to execute one. ]

[bloodread]

...why do you think they would move again?

[afterword]

The Angel approaches them with a deal, at least those we've sent to execution have claimed so far. If there's a reward to it, and it's something you can't possibly ignore, it's clearly tempted people to act.

Everyone seems to have been behaving more or less the same as they did before. Which means that whoever killed and is still alive with us, seems to be taking it quite well after taking a life. I just have to assume that means they're willing to do it again. [ It's a... cruel thing to say. To imply someone here is possible of feeling that cold-hearted but, it's because he's aware of those kinds of people back home. ]

[bloodread]

So you're saying they're either greedy or arrogant. Or the angels have an interest in making them kill again.

[ Akira doesn't put it past other people for much the same reason. ]

[afterword]

Basically. And since it's more than one person missing, it's a possibility the angel made a new deal this week with another person. That or the same person is greedy enough to kill more than one.

[ Taps his own arm. ] But we can just ask the Watchers directly if there's more than one killer alive tomorrow.
