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!

[ Maybe it's the monster. Maybe it's the man who is assumingly controlling the monster. All Ace will get is a knick on the leg from its teeth, or what looks like teeth. It's just a normal cut though.

But also fire?? That burns, but whatever flames affecting the monster seems to be absorbed into it.

"Yes, that is so, stranger. Interesting. You can turn yourself into fire and you can step into the void. Other beings would usually perish from the sheer pressure."

Ace is immune to existential pressures because I said so, therefore it's not something that can be explained icly. The man looks interested though, as if he's looking at some rare specimen instead of a person. ]

[iubar]

[ Ace doesn't like the look from that man, having a displeased look over his words, too. ]

Yeah, and? What's it to you?

[selfconcept]

[ "Maybe you'll have a nice fight with it. Isn't that right, dear? Aren't you hungry, Hien?"

The monster screeches in response. Does it agree or not? It's hard to tell. ]

[iubar]

Is that what you find entertaining?

[ There's some irritation in his voice at that. Especially after hearing Hien's name. ]

cw attempted cannibalism

[selfconcept]

[ "Yes. It's quite fun. It's also fun to watch him drive himself into ruin and I wouldn't have to lift a finger."

He sounds like he's in total glee. The monster didn't like that, but it seems to hesitate in looking at Ace's direction. But once it does, it opens its maws so wide with the intent of eating Ace whole. ]

[iubar]

Tch. Disgusting.

[ And this certainly isn't directly at the monster. It's directed at the one talking to him. But he's going to be working to dodge the monster, using his flame to help with his fluid motions. Yeah, he'd rather not be eaten today. ]

[selfconcept]

[ The monster is just as fluid, as if it doesn't run on its legs and it's a floating being. But no, it's bipedal. It's surely walking, even if no one hears the footsteps.

The monster attempts to eat him again.

"Why don't you just burn the monster down? Though it might find your flames delicious." ]
