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: 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!

[You live your best life Luci, he's on a different floor from you anyways!!

Anyways, it kind of figures it would belong to one of the cats(?) considering the size but who knows if anyone else here maybe had a hobby of collecting miniature brass instruments. He doesn't care if Luci keeps going on with the trumpet but if he's still standing on the pile of stuff, Shin is going to try and pick him up by the scruff of his neck so he can relocate him on a clear part of the table.]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ He was definitely still on that pile. But Luci manages to keep playing as he is scruffed. Only... the tune reacts to what's happening. It's exactly the sort of jazzy cartoon refrain that one would expect from a skilled trumpet playing demon the size of a cat.

Luci waves with his tail. Its movement goes along with the end of his song. His final pose says ta-da. It took up air, that he is new to breathing. So his next pose is going to be lying down on this new, clear side of the table. ]

You gonna eat that?

[ An eye on the pudding. ]

[undertakings]

[Luci such a pro at trumpeting...

Anyways, the lack of squirming or resistance certainly makes things easier, so Shin isn't going to complain about that. And as much as he may not personally care about the items left on the table, he's aware that they might be precious or sentimental to others so it's best to leave them as undamaged as possible. With that said, this pudding has been sitting around unrefrigerated for the past week or so (or longer??) and it's not like Shin's particularly keen on keeping it, so...]

You can have it if you want.

[He takes no responsibility for any episodes of food poisoning that may or may not occur proceeding this.]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci slides over, plucking the pudding from the pile. It shouldn't kill anyone if it's been sealed this whole time, right?

Hope it doesn't smell, because he's totally going to open it right here to eat at the edge of the table. ]

[undertakings]

[It's packaged (I think?!) and there shouldn't be any holes in it unless someone fucked around with it when he left it in the common room on week 2 but also not his problem anymore!!

Anyway, it's probably fine unless you want to roll for potential food poisoning or something. Live your best life, because the only thing Shin is going to do is glance over briefly as Luci opens it up. Does he even have a spoon or is he just going to go at it with his bare paws?]

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Nope, it is all Luci's problem now. He sniffs it once before licking at it like a cat with milk for the first time. His whole body wiggles once at the taste before he greedily tries to scoop out and what what he can. Between his mouth and gravity as he tilts it back, it's pretty effective.

He'd prefer a spoon but whatever, he's hungry from all the trumpeting. ]

[undertakings]

[And thus, the pudding was defeated.

Anyway, he's not going to help with a spoon or anything like that, but he will pull a clean handkerchief out of his pocket and toss it over in Luci's direction.]

Clean up after yourself when you're done.

[totalcatastrophe]

[ Luci lets it fall, turning back towards him. ]

What're you gonna do, arrest me? Force me to go back to college?

[ Asked between useless licks against the mostly empty pudding container. It's more sarcastic than challenging. ]

[undertakings]

The sink.

[He can drop him in the sink.]

[totalcatastrophe]

You gotta work on your threats, bub.

[ Said in disappointment as he stands. Luci scoops the handkerchief up to use brusquely before tossing it back in Shin's direction. New instrument tucked under one arm and the pudding remains in the other, he finally hops off the table. ]
