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!

[ He takes the bowl to the ground, stabbing the fork into the center while standing. ]
How do you know it's the same exact one?
[ Luci's guess is the blood. ]
no subject
[ ... ]
The textbooks. I guess the blood helped too.
no subject
[ Luci, for once, doesn't just ask who he killed. His excuse is food. ]
A human kid?
cw attempted suicide
[ To both. ]
Found him in the snow, wanting to die. I wasn't having any of that, so I took him in.
[ He gets some noodles and soup for himself in a bowl. ]
cw attempted suicide + flippant mh discussion
[ Luci asks between slurps, casually. Platitudes aren't really his thing. ]
cw: attempted suicide, family death
[ He glances over at Luci. It's a blank look. ]
So, no. It's not really weird.
Re: cw: attempted suicide, family death
Why would you want to stay in this thing then?
no subject
[ Slurping more noodles. Man, he sure feels deader than usual. ]
no subject
[ Punctuated with a lazy slurp. ]
no subject
[ ...
Hien actually has to think about it. He was drawn to this thing the moment he saw it and he really wanted to stay. He knows staying in it won't bring Ren back nor will it help his mental health in the long run (what's mental health when you're so old). It makes him think back on some unpleasant things said by an unpleasant person. ]
You're right. I guess I'm just beating myself up a little, but I think I deserve having this much at the least.

[ Luci sounds hopeful at the prospect. ... He is also avoiding the main point that last sentence is trying to make. ]
