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.


SETTING TRACKER

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!

Oh- that shamrock charm... ... Actually, would you like to keep it? I don't have my phone here, and... well. I think I'd like you to have it.

( a reminder of her, if they don't get to see each other again. )

It's not anything important to you?

[ Like a sentimental charm sort of thing? Hien looks slightly concerned. ]

I made it as a test for something. It does mean quite a bit, but that's part of why I'd like you to keep it, actually.

A test?

[ Hm.

...
]

I didn't think I would be that important enough for you to give it to.

[ He doesn't say it in a self-deprecating way, but he's surprised, like... Shizuku thinks he's important?? ]

Yes, to see if I could do something like that! I'm good at embroidery, of course, but embroidery and making a charm that looks good are very different, you know!

( she giggles like she's making a joke. )

You say that, but you've been nothing but good to me, Hien.

[ And here he was, being concerned that he looked like an unhinged psycho in front of Shizuku because he went off to kill her doppelganger without a word.

He closes his eyes for a moment and reopens them.
]

It's a nice looking charm. Thanks, Shizu. I'll keep it.

[ :party:

He would never sell this. No way. This is going in his "i'm keeping it forever" stash when he gets his hammerspace cloak back.
]

How did you feel when you finished making it? Was it up to your standards?

[ She said it was like a test, after all. ]

I think for a first attempt, it's perfect.

( it's a simple thing- a plain, blue string that matches her image color, attached to a metal tip that holds the link for the shamrock charm. it's fairly sturdy, and maybe a little plain... but it really isn't bad. she's proud of it. and part of that pride is also a reason to give it to someone who she may not see again after all of this. )

Oh?

[ Hien takes a closer look at it to appreciate the details and work that went into it. ]

It means the next time you make one, it'll be even better.
