WEEK FOUR

Saturday comes to a close, and it’s time for some rest and recovery. Perhaps the TLC you deserve will come this week, or perhaps the nightmare will continue. It’s hard to say with things being so strange around you, from Wei Wuxian’s disappearance to the sudden addition of objects and places and creatures from your homes. Who knows what this week will bring? Nothing ordinary, that’s for sure.

You wake up on Sunday to an increase in those little glimpses you saw yesterday. What were snippets of songs, locations that might’ve seemed familiar, and creatures that were dormant, are now all alive and whole. When you go to the karaoke bar, the songs you once knew are there. Monsters and animals are alive and sentient. New business are abound. Vehicles are operable, and perhaps some of your old belongings are back, too.

However, some of these things aren’t even things that should exist outside of your dreams. They may be far too strange and unusual to be real, or just things you don't remember ever seeing. The only thing you remember about these things in particular is that they were, quite literally, in your dreams this week.

That being said, every few hours, all of these things from your homes and dreams fade out and get replaced by new sounds, places, beasts….only to maybe come back again at another time.

Well. At least there's one constant here: You’ve got a handful of new locations to look at, with the fog having spread once more, and they aren't going anywhere. There aren’t as many new places that are native to Estelline this time around, but that may be for the best, considering everything going on.

OOC: Details on this week can be found here!

Also, we have a lot of participants for the news activity from last week. Neat! Everyone who participated in some capacity will have a small polaroid camera delivered to their doorstep. There's limited film, though - 10 photos per camera. It doesn't seem like there's any extra film at this time, either.

Finally, there will not be any weekly tasks this week. You guys are going to be busy with memshare and dreamscape stuff; instead, enjoy the Estelline University Newspaper!

OVERVIEW

[tosa]

So, let's get started!

(Yeah, if you were expecting a big ol' grand opener, you're going to be disappointed because Mutsu starts off pretty generally:)

... How's everyone handling school so far?

❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀

This sub-thread is for more general things like talking about the setting, impressions so far, this week's current effect, tasks, and so on. You can also use it to just kind of heck around in the beginning and get some more casual CR!

[selfconcept]

Who wrote that story that had me and Idia in it?

[ He doesn't look annoyed, but more curious. ]

I'd like to give you a comedy award.

[vivens]

[ IMAGINE IF SABO SPOKE UP ABOUT THIS....imagine. no, this comment is not here but somewhere he is witnessing this. ]

[festiverogue]

[He says this with a straight face:]

Just here to state for the record that I wouldn't kiss Owen's hand seven times.

[Before he dissolves into laughter.]

[tosa]

At once or ever?

[festiverogue]

At once! I'm a gentleman!

[tosa]

(...)

Are ya? Feel like having to kiss someone seven times is pretty excessive... ya sound pretty normal to me.

[festiverogue]

I think some people might get a little carried away, and I'm toootally not the type!

[That is a lie.]

[kaientai]

[ ryouma sits through the introduction to all this happily, ready to help mutsu out with any of this along the way. he helped him set up, of course! ]

Ya must've gotten all this from somebody else. [ because ryouma is the ideas guy, not the organisational guy. ] It's funny though. Remember? Used to be we had another guy named Mutsu doin' all this kinda thing too!

[ meaning ryouma's good friend and fellow kaientai member, mutsu munemitsu, of course. he might as well say "we" now anyway; technically mutsu-the-sword was there too, even if ryouma didn't know him as a spirit. ]

[undertakings]

[Well, because Phantom said he should warn people...]

A ghost is still following me around. It doesn't seem like it's capable of possessing anyone, but I can't control what it does, so there's a possibility it may try to attack you.

I don't think it can hurt you directly, but if you're worried about it, you should keep your distance.

[herlocksholmes]

I will prepare a story or two, just in case. Prevention is important!

[Sholmes, he just said it's not capable of possessing anyone, you don't have to annoy anybody now]

[undertakings]

[Sholmes......]

...I don't think that will be necessary. It has also been less active since I received a pair of talismans from Chongyun, so I would say the risk of being possessed is minimal at this point.

[herlocksholmes]

...fine.

[And he slumps forward. Somehow that he won't have to do this seems to leave Sholmes all dejected. Aaaaagh, no, a chance to get involved in stuff, denied. Missing opportunities to get attention on him are his kryptonite, aaaaaa]

[undertakings]

[sholmes are you actually older than him

Anyway, he continues on as if Sholmes isn't currently moping.]

Oh, incidentally. Last week, I was able to confirm the orb's location from the dormitory rooftops. With that said, I don't know how useful this information is since the locations we're transported to don't appear to correspond to the orb's position.

[herlocksholmes]

No information is superfluous, Mr. Nouzen.

[No harm in keeping this in mind, just in case]

[undertakings]

I suppose you're right. [Well, it's not like they're given much else to do, so...] I can keep observing the orbs each week, then, in case it leads to a new clue. Although it would be beneficial if we could get a camera inside.
