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!

And you can also think of me as a cautionary tale.
[ He addresses Tenn directly. ]
I know what it feels like to lose a twin. I know it far too intimately. If you continue treating your twin this way, it will bring nothing but devastation. Even if your motives are born of good intentions... once you lose that other half, you may lose them forever.

Then: ]
I'm trying to keep that from happening. Riku can't continue down this path any longer.
[ Riku, as expected, looks extremely offended by this. ]
You're wrong...

[ Gentaro is as calm as ever, but he raises his eyebrows. ]
I mean that if you continue to discourage him instead of supporting him, your relationship will be irreparably broken, shattered into too many pieces that make it impossible to put together. Even if you remain in each other's lives, it will never be the same.
Would you risk that? Risk watching Riku's back as he walks away from you every time, unable to reach or catch up to him?
[ He turns to Riku now. ]
Riku. It's your dream to sing with your friends, to stand on stage in front of your fans and listen to their cheers as you lift their spirits, correct?
