WEEK FIVE MINGLE

[grigori]

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.

[Disce in her cat form and Nero are just lying in the snow. Disce's fussing over him, but Nero looks completely at peace, for once.

It looks like he's been bitten through, the same as last Friday.]</small.

[callalilies]

[ kaeya is not obnoxious can you believe. instead, he sees the wound and frowns a bit... nero's lying the snow but disce seems? okay? fussy, but okay. which means that nero is...

you know. not just dead in the snow. that's a relief. ]

Enjoying the cold, I take it?

[perfectdistance]

[Disce swishes her tail annoyed at the bleeding.

Nero does not even get up.]

's the nicest place we've been.

[According to him, anyway.]

[callalilies]

Can't say I mind the amenities.

Is this like home for you?

[ propping his chin on his hand, polaris just rolls in the snow as a wolf one moment then pops up! as an ermine the next to pounce over and over again into the soft snow drifts. ]

[perfectdistance]

[He's in a 3/4th sleeve outfit and looking so calm.]

Somethin' like tha-

[And then he looks very awkward.]

It isn't...?

[callalilies]

[ a slight roll of the eyes here. ]

You've already started, may as well finish.

[ he looks so peaceful tbh. kaeya just glances down at the snow and then. plops down into it too on his back, eyes skywards. ]

[perfectdistance]

Yeah, okay I was lyin'.

Does remind me of home.

[Nice, cold, and snowy.]

[callalilies]

It doesn't hurt to reminisce a little about home, you know. This place reminds me a bit of it too. Well. A part of it anyways.

[perfectdistance]

Yeah? Which part?

[callalilies]

A snowy mountain range near Mondstadt, they call it Dragonspine. The air is so bitter there that if you stay too long without being near any sort of warming apparatus...

[ he flops his arms out. makes a snow angel. ]

What about you? Are your beds made of ice too?

[perfectdistance]

Sounds pretty nice.

[Nero, please.]

Nah. We have normal beds in our houses.

[callalilies]

What about buildings make of ice like the hotel?

[perfectdistance]

I think somebody found that up in North Country.

[callalilies]

North Country... it sounds like a remarkable place... what's it like there then?

[perfectdistance]

[Gestures at the ice and snow.]

Like this, but the weather's way harsher. Howlin' winds, blizzards.
