WEEK FIVE MINGLE

nerak: week 5 mingle at your service
25 Remain

Waking up this morning will reveal some unfamiliar surroundings. While Camebit had an autumnal chill in the air, things are a little different, now - the air is frigid, and waking up is an adventure, considering you are swaddled to the nines and cozied right up to your roomie of the week (where you have one, anyways). Everything around you is made of ice and packed snow, fogged glass and porcelain, and it is freezing. Who thought this was a good idea? Even the brisk chill of Camebit in the skies above everything was more forgiving than this! This isn't a transition! Whose manager can you speak to..?

About that.



You have to trek out of the lodging, and over into the building made of actual wood and stone, to actually see your Watchers of the week. They're all dressed in their full cloaks again to combat the chill, even in this building, although both Rameel and Satariel are standing much closer to Yomiel than they usually do - much like they had in Ahnkeen, actually.

"Good morning and welcome to Nerak! If you've ever wondered what it was like to stay at an ice hotel, then you're in luck!" Rameel says with moderate flourish as they make sure to keep close to Yomiel—their daemon currently not found anywhere near them as they make the announcement. Looks like they're without their black box of musical wonders this morning.

While the other two Watchers press close, Yomiel's daemon has wrapped itself around their neck like a polecat scarf. Warm. Arm cradled gently against their chest, they pause to glance at Satariel before greeting everyone. "Try to be careful. The ice can get slippery, especially when you're all looking like that and leaving a mess everywhere you go." Whatever that means.

Satariel seems a little more subdued than usual but offers everyone a smile, daemon bear-shaped against their back, large head peering around at everyone while they take in the travelers that come to join them here in the hotel lobby. Their cloak is completely closed around them - not even the front of their dress can be seen, and they're clearly holding it tightly shut. "Please be nice to the hotel staff - if I catch any of you being rude to them, I'll kick you clear across the tundra before sticking you in their outdoor 'jail' for timeout. We're guests, but they're working hard to accommodate us, alright?"


With the new week, travelers will find that they no longer the adorable animal features they did in Camebit, but something much less cute. Injuries from their pasts have come back to haunt them, major or minor, and they cannot be healed. The good thing is that they don't seem to hurt or really take a toll on the travelers at all - at least, not until they're touched, and then both you the other will feel the pain from the moment the wound was inflicted. This effect lasts all week.

[ don't test him.

He is on the head of a black wolf though.

[ oh...

oh...

polaris gives a sniff to the wolf to confirm? that this is friend? niah? a little grumble and yoo joonghyuk on top of his head. ]


How did you get into this mess?

[ Croak.

Niah can't really do much aside from sniff back because he is holding onto a sword in his mouth.

Are you really going to have your daemon hold your sword while you're like this? That's rather inconvenient for him.

[ like yjh would let anyone touch his sword ofc. sighs. ]

Can we at least strap it to him better? So he can use his mouth? Poor thing...

[ not u tho yjh. ur not a poor thing. ]

[ Croak.

It does not seem like frog is against it. Niah's tail sways left and right.

[ frowns deeper. it would be... hard to do so without touching niah... ]

I don't want to touch your daemon if you don't want me to. [ to niah: ] So just... stay very still, alright? Polaris will help where he can.

[ he's undoing his belt tho? this should suffice to help strap it on or w/e. maybe polaris can help? regardless, he holds out a hand for the sword, eyes on frog joonghyuk now. ]

[ Hm. Niah squints, but doesn't move. The sword stays in his mouth longer before he carefully places it down. ]
callalilies: webtoon. (❄️ agreement.)

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-01 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[ he'll pick the sword up with care and similar to how his own sword is looped through leather, he'll create a makeshift sheath. who knows how long it'll take yoo joonghyuk to get out of this mess. best keep him equipped right?

he gestures for polaris to come and help him very. very. carefully. loop the belt around niah. kaeya definitely is trying not to touch him and lets polaris do all the nudging and tucking into place with kaeya's helpful opposable thumbs closing the clasp so that now niah is Battle Wolf.

with a sheath carefully resting out of the way of his legs but capable of being drawn! in an instant! there u go sweet wolf. ]


That'll do for now, I think?

[ Niah barks once when it's fastened on, tail wagging twice and jumping once, and the frog doesn't look as angry. ]
callalilies: webtoon. (❄️ kind.)

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-01 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Look at you, very prepared, Sir Niah.

[ polaris grumbles and gives a happy little half-bark delivering a happy nudge and lick to niah's muzzle, tail wagging as well. meanwhile, to the froghyuk: ]

How do you plan to get your way out of this one?
malewife: (pic#15255764)

[personal profile] malewife 2021-11-01 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Niah will accept the offerings because being licked by others means he's the dominant one.

The frog kind of adjusts his angle to look at a door.

callalilies: webtoon. (❄️ speak up.)

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-01 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it does. ]

Hiding all week is boring, Yoo Joonghyuk... why would you go out of your way to be boring?

[ He turns back to Kaeya, having to adjust his whole body because frogs have no necks.

angy.

you dumb slut he wants to open the door.

callalilies: webtoon. (❄️ thoughtful.)

[personal profile] callalilies 2021-11-01 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I can't let you freeze like this. Come on...

[ opens door........ drops a little hankie from camebit on angry froghyuk. it's cold. stay warm, buddy. ]

[ Somewhere between this, Satariel dressed him, so he's just a giant winter sweater ball on top of Niah.

Thank you.

He goes through the door and he tries to make a purchase.
