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.

[ Well, Grumpy finally let's go of her hand. Obviously they're getting somewhere! His tail is wagging feverishly, excited to get on with the race.

Reze approaches A-Qing... time to go, little one. ]


If you don't mind, do you have any carrying preference? Piggy back? Princess style? Do you wanna be hoisted up like a sack of flour?

I'm not a sack of flour!

[ well that's one out. ]

But you might need your arms, right? So... [ upon her back it is. she holds out her arms, a-qing looking like she regrets everything that led up to this moment. but that's what happens when you're a fuckin mess of a human rn...!! happy seems to bork his support to them both. good job, boya ]

[Spike calling Power tiny is hilarious considering she's three whole inches shorter than him, but he lifts her up in a piggyback ride. If he needs his arms, he'll just let her know.]

Right, so now we just uh... gotta figure out how to sled.

She's a sack of flour.

[ Volunteering A Qing for potato sack. She points ahead, down the hill. ]

We use the dogs, yes?! Their fur will make excellent insulation against the cold! [ Did y'all miss when she said the dogs were for sledding, she meant using the dogs AS the sleds, you know? ] But where are we heading?

[ Reze bends down a tad, just so A-Qing can secure her arms. She reaches down from behind to scoop her up, standing up (not) tall with a small grunt. ]

Ah, you’re nice and light. This’ll be easy.

[ Now back to Spike and Power. ]

That’s not exactly how it works — But an A for effort! ] Approaching the actual sled, she notices something. ] Oh, we might actually be able to lie one of our friends on the sled. It looks like it’s designed that way, at least.

[ She then looks to Power, beaming. ]

[Spike has sled related things to discuss, but then Power gets viciously assaulted right before his eyes and all he can do is stare.]

...What the bloody hell? Where'd that come from?

Xie Lian just throw a snowball at our resident devil brat.

But yeah, I think at this rate if we get into a snowball fight, the dogs will just figure out the obstacle course on their own.

C'mon, brat, all aboard. We'll wreak bloody vengeance in about half an hour, yeah? [He climbs aboard the sled. Rip to you guys, but they're different. He doesn't know how to get the dogs to start doing their thing but like. They're... aboard. Call him Spike the Vampire Sleigher.]
