WEEK FIVE MINGLE
nerak: week 5 mingle
at your service
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.

right.
also wow his drawings are passably good.
he’ll give kaeya a look like “wow, maybe i was in the zone” but he did say it was fine, so… he’ll stand up and circle the table to stand next to him. he will lean a little, for the photo. might as well give the girls something to keep them happy. ]
no subject
Are those wigs?
No, they look too real to be wigs--
Wigs these days can look pretty realistic--
Oh my god, Megan, can't you shut up and appreciate two smexy bishies when they're in front of you?!
Perhaps luckily for the boys, Alisaie has enough of her vision back to recognize the flashes of light and to connect them with the flashes from van Zieks' camera. Which means that a moment later she's jumping the table herself into the small empty space in front of them in order to thrust some paper in between the boys and the cameras.]
My apologies, but I believe they did say one photo in addition to the three prints purchased. The rest of you are free to make similar offers, though it will be up to them if they accept.
[SEE SHE'S NOT THROWING YOU TO THE WOLVES............]
no subject
She's right, a deal's a deal. And we have customers coming up, ladies. Perhaps we'll see you on another go around, hm? You can finish up exchanging with Ali right over here, if you'd be ever so cooperative.
[ he can't wink so instead he just bows enough that his cleavage definitely gathers visibly and he waves to more! girls! ]
This is going to be a long day... Welcome to our authoress' humble table—we have very cute drawings and additional photo opportunities!
[ book preorders? eeeee, and oh em gee, is that not the cutest little kitty?? at taf.
kaeya steps in front of ali's daemon quickly. none of that. ]
no subject
A deal’s a deal, like he said. Come back around later and buy more pictures and maybe you can get another. [ the girls chatter excitedly at that prospect at least, and hustle over to where alisaie is to pay. yuri fails to mention he plans to be long gone by then. ]
And pre-orders on books. Apparently. [ from under the table, pravda wiggles up and drags taf to the daemon hiding spot out of reach of grabby hands and curious fingies with a couple of impatient pats to taf’s back. come on friend, they’re hiding now.
kaeya’s tits are doing plenty of sale’s work, so yuri’ll just keep an eye on what alisaie’s doing for the moment. ]
no subject
And then whoops, goodbye seeing-eye Taf... he's dragged down to the hidey pile, but he stubbornly plops himself down in a place where he can still watch what's going on; #DaemonsWithJobs she can't make out the numbers on the money she's being handed :') Does Yuri want to help with that?]
I can't say if it has similarities to that series. I've not spent any time reading others' renditions. You'll find the emotions to be quite realistic, however; almost as though it were real.
[Alisaie's just flexing what little merchanting skill she has! It's been a long time since she was strongarmed into helping at the market in Thanalan, but she certainly hasn't forgotten that day.]
no subject
One would say if you enjoyed [ someone loudly toots their vuvuzela and screams "pirates are better than ninjas", it's the meme this year, kids ], then you'll most certainly enjoy this book, it's very much in the same genre with some extra bits thrown in that make it unique. extraordinary character portrayal. You may even read some of her descriptions and find them [ gestures at himself, a toss of the hair ] familiar.
[ where is his flask he needs a drink immediately. why does he have to work. ugh. he'll show off the two pictures in his hands happily n_n hand over ur money. ] Maybe you'd even like to take a photo if you pre-order, so when you read you can compare!
no subject
What did you set the price as? This one's a 10, and this one's a 20.
[ kaeya stop getting drunk on the job, sir. ]
You should give this a read whichever. Broaden your horizons a little, try something new. There's a bit of something for everyone in here.
And anyway, they say the best fiction is rooted in truth, after all. [ take that as you will, yaoi fangirls. ]
no subject
The book preorders [That definitely, absolutely exist] are 17. Can you give her the change?
[Excuse me, I have a question!! Can we ask for something specific from the artist?
Uh-oh. This isn't one of the girls from before, but the way in which she's looking at the three of them spells trouble.]
no subject
[ as a warning. the wolf bites. he looks over at yuri and raises a brow. ]
I think they're asking for commissions.
no subject
That depends on what they're commissioning.
no subject
Oh my god, you were wondering, don't drag me into this!
--you're the one too shy to ask! We were wondering if you'd be willing to drawyourcharacterskissing?
--Or just your animals together! If you can't draw humans!
You can't just accuse an artist of not being able to draw humans, Molly--! We'd really love it if you would!
...
Alisaie's just looking toward Yuri.]
This one's all yours.
[It would be their last sale, but. Do you really wanna do that.]

2/2
Why don't you draw some of Alisaie's other characters. You know. The other romances, she's written so many in this book it's full of ... [ what's the lingo? ] ships. With Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk. There's a really delightful storyline that just creates such an evocative portrait of their love for one another. Ooh, or dear Kotetsu and Sholmes. Either are very riveting stories of love in adversity.
[ nod nod ]

and then he'll stand up. ]
Yeah, the lead couple should remain secret. But the side ships? Also worth your time and effort. And based off more people the author knows -- if you're really observant, you might spot them around this very area.
[ rip in fuck crystal and emi. guess who he's gonna draw? ]
no subject
But the girls are delighted anyways. Okay!
Do you think we can find them?
Maybe we can get them to sign it! Would that be okay? (toward Yuri)
But eventually, they'll take their drawing and go, and the three of them can close down their booth for the day.
Thank the Twelve.]
...Yuri. Have you enough in that flask for all of us? I think we deserve it, after that.
[do not @ her]
no subject
A hard day's work, but I'd say we did rather well given the odds...
[ he flops back. ]
no subject
A hard day's work, is that what we call it? If anyone asks, we have no idea why those girls got the sudden urge to stalk Sholmes and Kotetsu, right?
[ gib flask, he wants some. ]
no subject
Not in the slightest.
Thank the Twelve they didn't ask you to sign it.
[...oh, that's strong. Not that she wasn't expecting it to be, but--there's. She takes her drink, and her expression doesn't entirely give her away, but. There's a little cough a moment later.
Just. Passing that back to Kaeya now. It's fine.]
no subject
alisaie coughs and he just smiles a little to himself, waiting for the flask to return to him now. ]
Sworn to secrecy for our sins, sounds perfect to me.
no subject
Dodged that one, didn't we?
[ look at her go. the littlest drunk. ]
It's not like that can demand returns when we jump worlds anyway.
no subject
It does make you wonder what happens when we arrive and when we leave. Will they even remember paying for those drawings?
[Or the nonexistent book... did they ever come up with a name for it anyway]
no subject
[ kickin back now. ]
no subject
[ that one. ]
