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!

I've also got your back.
cw corpses, gore
As they get closer to the entrance, guards and other staff at the castle are strewn about, blood pooling underneath all of their bodies. It looks like they've had their hearts ripped straight out of them from a monster.
Fai doesn't say anything. ]

A monster is attacking Celes. I don’t know what this monster is, but it’s reached the castle. I need to let His Majesty know.
no subject
[ If not, that's fine. He'll help where he can, but having a bit of knowledge might help. ]
no subject
All I know is that this monster is dangerous. It might take me a few days to defeat it...
no subject
[ It makes him very, very curious about what they're heading into now. ]
cw death, gore
So, we need to proceed with caution.
[ They finish hurrying up the steps, landing in front of the main doors. They're large and it takes a bit of effort for Fai to open them, but he's determined. He has to make sure the king is alive. ]
Your Majesty, there's a monster at the castle‐
[ Fai stops in place, taking in the scene before him. There are bodies piled around the main hall, all with their hearts torn out. A man with long black hair and in opulent clothing stands in the center of them all. He pulls his hand out of a man, his arm stained with blood as the man falls down to the floor. ]
Welcome home, Fai.
...
no subject
But he quickly looks over at Fai, trying to see what steps should be taken, who this person is, etc. Sure, he rushes into plenty of things, but he's letting Fai take the lead here since he's more familiar with what's going on. ]
no subject
All he can do is fall to his knees.
The man studies Fai for a long moment, casting a sidelong glance at Ace before his gaze moves back to Fai. ]
You're right. There is a monster at the castle. So, will you defeat me?
[ Fai shakes his head. ]
I can't do it.
