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 NOTE

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!

(NODDING ALONG FASTLY AND HE HOLDS UP HIS TABLET.)

I got some pictures and stuff if anyone wants to see 'em.

(He's taken a few photos from the museum. Of note there is,

- A map of the world
- Some diorama descriptions that show different eras named after emotions (Age of Fury, Age of Sorrow, Age of Confusion, etc). Each one is about a few centuries long except for the Age of Confusion where something happened but don't worry about it.
- Each age seems to have been named after a big change (like the Age of Fury being defined by war and the Age of Sorrow being defined by famine)
- The current age doesn't have a name but has been going on for about 900 years
- Emotions can influence the environment
- There is a time each year where emotions are heightened, and as a result have a more significant impact on the world around them
- The time is usually in the summer
- There is also like, a picture of a description somewhere saying people have tried to manage their emotions because of the effects it can have but there are some disagreements about how to do that. Do you repress your emotions? Or do you embrace them?
- There is also a photo of the exhibit Sabo mentioned
- There are also probably a few shots of his thumb or extremely blurry photos of exhibits where he moved his camera too soon and stuff because Mutsu isn't a perfect sword boy

And that's the gist yeah. I'll have a more detailed list in the lore doc when I get that up but have a spark note-y version for now.)

Museums are pretty useful, huh? Even if ya don't really get everything inside of of 'em...
