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.

MINI-EVENT: A WINTER WONDERLAND

[grigori]

MINI-EVENT 6
in a winter wonderland

 

 

Happy Wednesday morning, everyone! While the start of the day is uneventful, your daemons eventually perk as if they've heard something, and will lead you to lobby with the understanding that you've been summoned, so to speak. Your Watchers are waiting for your arrival there—but it doesn't seem to be a pressing matter, and they're ready to greet you from the get-go.

Satariel will speak up first, this time, keeping their cloak pulled tightly around them as everyone gathers. "Looks like the hotel has put together some fun activities for all of the guests that are here this week. So, why not take advantage of that and participate in some of them?"

Yomiel is, once again, in the middle of it all to perform their duty as a portable space heater. You're welcome. "It's mostly those weird hotel games people do, but maybe you'll get something out of it. Just don't cause more trouble for the staff than you have already."

Rameel is most welcomed by Yomiel's "agreeable" nature to be the space heater as they hang off of them with a sigh. The novelty still hasn't worn off for them but it's still cold. They'll cheerfully finish things off, "Or if you have caused a bit of a mess do try to at least clean up for yourselves some. Even if it's a piece of paper. Every little bit counts!"



Hey there everyone, welcome to the week 5 mini-event! Wowee. While 100% optional, participation yields rewards for your characters.

As instructed on Tuesday in the Discord server, for this event, we ask that players split themselves up into seven groups of 3 and one group of 4. You can coordinate further in the coordination channel, if need be, and head to chatter once you've gotten your assignments. Reply to the sign ups below for that assignment!

Is this Sholmes's outfit? Save them.]

Guess... we're dressin' up...

[voltadomar]

Hmh...

[Kim checks inside the box and finds... a Scheherazade costume!

... it goes back in the box.]

Team Safari LARP

[sponsoredby]

[ There's amusement from Kotetsu when he finds out their job, heading toward the designated room. Finley has her mini dragon friend perched on her head.

Also, surprise, group! Someone isn't using a crutch and has a leg again. Who would have known? It certainly makes walking on ice a lot safer. He won't be the first to point it out, either. Only down side is that it is bleeding at the knee area. You know, wound migration karma. It's bandaged, though. It'll be fine. ]

A scavenger hunt, huh?

[greatdeduction]

Oh! My word! Your leg, Kotetsu! Welcome back, leg!

[Sholmes has a bit of blood leaking from around his metal hand. It's fine! He's pointing at the leg, then...glancing over at the. Slutty safari costumes.]

Yes, indeed. Though these costumes leave a lot to be desired...

TEAM BARK BARK GRRRR WOOF WOOF ft. precious angel a-qing

[quiz]

[ Reze isn’t even looking over the obstacle course, she’s have too much fun holding the grumpiest of the dogs head in her hands and ruffling up their fur. ]

Spike! Look! It looks just like you!!

[ Yes the dog looks like it’s ten seconds from biting her but is wagging their tail. ]

[taptap]

[ oh her day just got so much better....! cong ming has retreated safely to a nearby tree but a-qing is giggling underneath a very excited group of doggos all wanting pets. ]

Waaaah, A-Qing can only pet so many...!

[ getting anywhere sure is gonna take a minute ]

team we're selling tiddy pics to cover up our bad art

[callalilies]

Are you sure this is going to work? We have to sell drawings, not me.

[ says kaeya wearing one of these in perhaps a size too small. he's not complaining of course, but he is tugging it down just a bit, which really just makes the keyhole window all the more prominent and earns them some stares from some young ladies in costume. ah. great. he just waves before giving a glance over at alisaie and yuri. through a smile: ]

Maybe Yuri should wear the sweater.

[senjinrouha]

[ just, without even looking up from the papers and signs he’s holding in his hands ready to lay out on the table: ]

With what tits, Kaeya?

[ …


he smacks a sheaf of papers into kaeya’s chest. take these, you big titted ho. ]

team rika will win this for us

[booksleeves]

[Susato wanders into the room, looking fairly determined.]

My, this sounds fun. Let’s see - all.

[She’s squinting at her card.]

These entries are rather violent? Why does one of them say ‘killed my whole family and threw them under a bridge?’

[allyship]

[hm.]

I suppose they... make it unique? Well, nothing to it. We might as well ask around.

[rochalizo is not sensitive about people's tragic backstories.]

team send tweet

[rerouter]

[Well. This is happening. After the three of them are asked to volunteer, Monika just. Dead eyes as they're pulled onstage.

She leans over to whisper to the boys:]

Of all the people in this room, it really had to be us? We're not even in business attire.

[afterword]

[ Oh, the last time he had to stand up for a public speaking it.. didn't exactly go well for himself. But that's cause he was prepping it for someone else to take over.

Hm. Leans to whisper back. ] I'm wondering if we're being made as an example.

team snow day

[naqqali]

[ well this seems... innocuous enough! except that sche is a desert dweller, and the idea of shoveling snow around for fun is kinda. eugh. but there's no drunk mermaids this time so it's fine. ]

We should focus on the foundation and build upward. A solid base will let us build taller walls.

[arcsplainist]

[ Digging around in snow.... Alphinaud is also not entirely thrilled, but here we go. ]

I had thought the same myself, though I confess that never afore have I constructed aught of this sort. ... Especially out of snow. Your counsel during this process would be much appreciated!

[ Somewhere close by, Esmerie squeaks, three emerald colored tails sticking out of the snow. ]

Team Mr. Mime

[bloodread]

[ They're here and Akira is just staring and yawning. He was planning on taking a nap but then being conscripted happened... ]

...do we really just gotta smash crap? [ He's probably not asking the mime this. ]
