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!

[Marcus drops to his knees as he skids to a stop beside Kawase, shucking his jacket off and pulling off his shirt to press it against the wound in Kawase's abdomen in an attempt to staunch the bleeding.]
What the hell happened here...
slight cw: suicideal ideation we are just probably going to have put this on all his threads
...don't touch me. [ Another cough and a breath later. ] Go help him instead.
slight cw: suicideal ideation
[Which means he's not budging, at least not for the moment.]
no subject
...I don't know what that thing had on its claws anyway.
no subject
On its claws? You mean like some kind of poison or something?
[THAT... DEFINITELY COMPLICATES THINGS HERE.]
no subject
no subject
Just hold tight, I've got this... I hope...
[He wishes he was a little more sure about that much, though.]
no subject
no subject
[Yeah, he hears that, and yeah, he doesn't like it one bit. He hears that unspoken sentiment enough on a regular basis as it is...]
no subject
[ Just going to get down on his knees here and get a better look at what he's dealing with. ]
What happened?
cw suicideal ideation cont
...unless you have any experience with some kind of mutant wolf with what's probably some type of toxin on its claws—just let me die.
no subject
[ ...Not actually poisonous, but he's dealt with other monsters that inflict poison ailments, and this one has the best name, so whatever. He ain't gonna know. ]
Let's see it.
no subject
The wound, a long gash from right below his ribcage, angled down to his abdomen is neat all things considered, though it's immediately obvious that it's not really clotting at all. ]
no subject
Either way, he's going to address the latter first since tbh he's not sure what they can even do about a possibly unknown poison with the shitty supplies here, and it won't matter anyway if he bleeds out, so. Thanks to Marcus's shirt for its sacrifice, now there's some proper gauze and bandages to help with the job. Please assume he knows what he's doing better than I'm writing it. ]
no subject
...well? [ It should also be noted that Kawase has really high pain tolerance so really he's somehow an OK patient with minimal fussing. ]
no subject
[ Just going to keep applying pressure here for the moment while looking over the shallower injuries for whatever details he can get until they drag Florence out here. ]
Where did you encounter it?
no subject
In his [ Tilts his head at wherever Chongyun is right now. ] dream, I guess? It was more like a lucid hallucination come to life. It wasn't anything like I've ever seen in Tokyo or Aizu.
[ As for other injuries, he's got some minor cuts on his arms and legs but they're pretty shallow and do seem to be clotting like they should. ]
no subject
[ With a slight glance to the Land of Canaan looming in the sky... ]
In any case, someone went to request assistance from the higher-ups, so with any luck we'll be able to get you both to a proper medical facility shortly.
[ In the meantime, he'll monitor his pulse and breathing, keeping perfectly calm the whole time. His bedside manner may be pretty cold, but there's probably something to be said for how smoothly he handles these situations, at least. ]
no subject
Let me deal with this.
no subject
Go for it. Lemme know if you need another pair of hands for anything.
no subject
no subject
[Which would be a 'no,' but he's already standing even as he says that.]
Tell me what you need and I'll see what I can find.
