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.

Hm... Why don't you walk us through what's happening in your world? If he's specifically referencing that, it must be something both of you know, but it just isn't immediately obvious to you.

Uh...well, Shima's older brother just got married...they have a baby on the way too. And then Yukio and I just turned 16 like a few days before we showed up here...

[Thinking...thinking...]

...oh yeah! Lucifer is running the Illuminati to...actually I don't know what he's trying to do exactly, but it's probably bad because he gives off terrible vibes and the Illuminati tried to use zombies to kill us all. And they keep showing up to steal demons here and there for something.

Oh, and a portal to hell just opened up and now there's a shitload of demons everywhere and it's kinda bad right now. I don't know who did THAT one though.

[Rin we are going to have a talk about how to tell a coherent narrative at some point.]

[He fails most of his classes unfortunately, this is normal for him.]

[...

She's. Nodding along. Smiling politely.]

I see. Give your friend's brother my congratulations, okay? [It was irrelevant? But proud of them!] Anyway... Why not backtrack a little, Rin? Yukio presented a clear scenario. If the King of Light fought the King of Rust, which demon would you entrust the safety of your world to? Of course, the King of Time isn't an option. He doesn't exist in this scenario. So, who does that leave us with beside the first two kings?
