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!

[ thank you for the contribution.... sabo's not going to say anything about the amount of time she (they've) has known this. it doesn't matter in the end, after all. ]

I see; thank you for that information.

Mu and I got had that feeling given how the museum didn't seem to note the phenomenon as anything particularly strange because it was likely the same as reporting on the weather, and it seems like that is likely to be the case.

Sage, having lived with the empathy effect, can be quoted as calling it "annoying".

I imagine I would feel much the same if I were in her position.

[vivens]

I wouldn't be able to disagree with you.

The idea of enough people losing their temper in a single space causing some sort of environmental effect...

[ he'll just shake his head. there are too many words that can be used to describe it. though— ]

Did the books make it a point to be aware of their emotions while in spaces with other people?

[imitationsoul]

Yes, indeed. Since the people of Estelline both affect the environment with their emotions as well as experience the emotions of those around them, it is regarded as common courtesy to try and keep yourself from overwhelming others with your feelings.

Judging by the Camelia program's slogan, the success rate of this is not as good as they might desire.
