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!

Excellent work, Chongyun.

[ Though he's thinking about all of that, because boy. ]

It seems like there was potentially some kind of outside interference worsening their emotions, then. I wonder where exactly the source of this 'dark energy' is, though...

[ Normally, he would say AN EVIL SPIRIT of course, but his experience here has taught him there's more to this place that some measly spirit. ]

It's a possibility that the source did not originate from this world. If whatever is happening here can pull us from our worlds, then it is not unexpected that whatever is causing this could have originally traveled worlds.

[ ...though, maybe a 'group of evil spirits' would not be too far from the mark. But then again when you start to head down that direction, powerful demons might be considerations too.

Too many possible factors, still too little information. ]


An interesting thought.

I hadn't considered something like that before. But, seeing as the orbs can pull people into different 'places' and 'worlds', I'm starting to think that it can be more likely than something that's originally come from this world.

[ Nnnnot that it couldn't have, but this place seems to have normal vibes. Or at least that is the gist that he got what this world used to be like. ]
