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!

Speculation or not, those are two good points, but perhaps if we are progressing faster than what they planned for is ultimately a good thing for them. It is hard to really say.

[ that said though: ]

If emotions have the influence as everything seems to suggest, a way potentially understand the extent of what can be done might be to test it out for ourselves. The writing never specified how many people were involved but I think there is a fair number of us to effect something.

It'd just be a matter of what emotion that we'd want to channel and what result we'd hope to achieve. That is, of course, we're able to even do anything ourselves as non-natives.

[ which, you know, hopefully phantom's toy can help give them a clearer picture of what happens on a much smaller scale?? ]

[exofractured]

[Phantom is watching this suggestion with his face progressing through a whole spectrum of emotions. Fascination? Curiosity? Faint horror? All of the above?]

If it was a property of this world's people, I wouldn't expect us to have any effect. But if it's the world itself, then I suppose we would. We were brought here for a reason, after all.

...I'm more skeptical of the notion that we could get any number of us to focus towards the same purpose.

[Or that that would be??? Good???]

[ you know, despite having a point there... the reverse is true? kind of? or at least that's what sabo's getting at. they haven't officially tested it right? he'll cross his arms and tilt his head to a side. ]

The possibility is quite small, but it doesn't mean we couldn't try it out. Who knows, maybe something good will come out of it.

And as we're not entirely sure that we can't effect the environment like the natives here—there is no harm.

[exofractured]

Oh, don't mistake me. I'm in favor of determining fully what we're capable of. I'm only telling you not to expect too much.

[But for an optimist, Sabo seems pretty practical. Phantom can roll with this.]

I'll update you of my findings, then.

[probably.]
