04 - week four
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!

eventually though, shizuku takes a trip to the mall, shizuku mostly wanders a little, though some more spa day things do sound nice... and she's not the best at arcade games but she could give them a shot, maybe.
but that's when something strange happens... rather than exiting to the main lobby as she leaves a store, she's in someplace far more familiar. But that should be impossible...? But it's there- the Stage SEKAI has replaced the mall lobby. )
I- how did this... Am I seeing things?
(( mall prompts can also lead into SEKAI discovery if so desired! ))
mall
[ The stage...it's beautiful. Riku looks so impressed with this, and he greatly prefers seeing this over the parking lot. He looks over at Shizuku with a bright smile on his face. ]
A stage! Wow, where'd this come from?
no subject
( so like. you can imagine her confusion, right? )
no subject
[ He is also very confused. He'd react this way if he saw his first stage here, too. ]
Wait, why is it here, then?
no subject
( she really, super doesn't! and the shadowy audience is still there, waiting eagerly with their lights... carefully weaving through the audience, shizuku reaches out and touches the base of the stage. )
... It's really here... but none of the others are.
mall
Woah! Is this part of the mall now, too?! Wonder if we'll get a show...
no subject
stage sekai
Chongyun spots Shizuku and rushes up to her. ]
Shizuku, d-do you know what this is? You don't think someone is going to perform, are they?
[ He says perform like a man fearing for his life. ]
no subject
No, I don't think so. This stage... it's the first place I sang with my current group. If anyone was here, it'd be us, or... our friends, I suppose, but I'm not sure they can leave the SEKAI.
no subject
Sekai? [ The term sounds Inazuman. If he recalls correctly, they have a similar word that means world. ]
Do you mean to say they're trapped in a different world?
no subject
Stage
You most likely aren't, Miss Shizuku. Your eyes are not deceiving you.
[Sholmes poses]
I have arrived.
[As if what catches Shizuku's attention and has her in disbelief is him being here, not the stage]
no subject
I've been wondering where you've been!
no subject
[Sure explains why he hadn't been seen much, haha. Thank goodness for me this is a convenient excuse]
And during my investigations, I noticed this stage here hasn't always been here. For such a stage to appear all of a sudden...quite extraordinary, don't you think?
[Sholmes looks at her]
Are you familiar with it?
no subject
( anyways. )
I am. This... it's the first stage I sang with MORE MORE JUMP on.
( hence the clovers all over- it's theirs. but... )
I just can't figure out why it's here of all places.
no subject
[...hmmmmmm...]
I will get on it. Stay attentive for any trouble that may arise.
no subject
( shizuku nods, stepping back.
when herlock gets onto the stage- a reflection of hearts and feelings- music will start to drift through the air, showing what herlock is feeling at this very moment. and what would that be? )
no subject
Looks like right now, her safety is his main concern first and foremost.
You wouldn't guess that from looking at him, though -- the music being the only indication of it. While that's sounding, Sholmes is stomping around in the stage and then begins doing the dance Shizuku had showed him time ago, although a little rustier than it was back then]
no subject
the shadow audience seems pretty thrilled too, with their light sticks turning a golden brown. )
