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'll be fine, I can promise that.

[ He's powerful enough that he can withstand whatever may be in there.

This guy, however? ]


How can I be sure that you will be?

Do I look like someone who doesn't know their way around a battlefield? I'm almost insulted.

[He pauses, grinning, and puts his hands on his hips.]

I mean, if you really want me to attack you or something to demonstrate that much, I guess I could do that.

[ He is well-built, so that certainly shows. And someone doesn't just offer to fight if they don't know what they're doing... usually.

So, Fai lets out a soft sigh. ]


Alright, fine. Come with me, but don't think I'll let you get hurt.

[ Don't do anything heroic, in other words. ]

Same goes for you.

[In other words, he makes no promises. He's a mirrite, that's part of his job! ... even if he isn't sure whether those rules will hold true here or not. Still, he knows he can handle himself in all but the worst circumstances, so he's just going to trust in that for now.]

... I take that to mean you've got a pretty good idea of just what we're headed into, though.

cw death, gore

...I do.

[ He starts to lead Marcus up the stairs. The bodies of guards and different staff at the castle lay along the different entrances and on some of the steps, their hearts torn out of their chests and pooling out from underneath them. ]

Someone is hurting Celes, so I need to protect it.

cw death, gore

[Marcus is no stranger to battlefields and has killed more than his share of people in combat, but the sheer gruesome nature of these deaths causes even his stomach to turn slightly. That wasn't meant just to kill, that was meant to make them suffer... what kind of opponent is this?]

... Celes?

[ Huh. Fai glances over at Marcus, giving him a mildly confused look. Where did he come from? Is he someone who also travels through worlds? ]

Yes, the country of Celes. I'm the sole protector of this country, so I need to deal with this... problem.
