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!

[Time travel’s impossible so he calls bullshit.]
Do you just want his mana stone for yourself? You can take it if you want. I don’t care.
no subject
[ Owen is right. Hien isn't a time traveler, but he can travel to different worlds where time has gone back! That's basically the same thing.
That's not important right now though. ]
I don't want his corpse rock.
no subject
His nose wrinkles.]
Who are you? Is there something you actually want? Because I don't think you actually think I was going to make a promise.
cw talk of corpses..... closes eyes
sighs
no subject
[ With that, he instantly reappears in front of Owen in an attempt to stab him. It's just a normal kitchen knife. Of course he'd have it with him. ]
no subject
Who doesn't look all that impressed by the stab, arching an eyebrow as he starts to bleed.]
This is your plan?
cw body horror, cannibalism
[ He pulls the knife out. The gear noises click in the background, and he turns into a bipedal, shadowy monster.
Time to get eaten, Owen-chan. ]
no subject
Owen doesn't know what this shadowy monster can do, but it explains why the stranger feels so odd. He's not going to let himself get eaten without making it as obnoxious as possible, so he gathers his magic...
And disappears. Hien's not the only one who can teleport. Still, his magical energy is unique and he didn't go terribly far considering they were on the Northern border.]
no subject
cw hallucination mention
The poison gas is densest in the center of the forest, and if the shadow isn't immune to it it should feel euphoric, joyous, while before its eyes it will see what it most desires in this moment. Or it might not impact it at all. Who knows!]
cw hallucination
So it basically starts eating up as much poison gas and trees as it can. It's a buffet. This memory is soon going to be without a forest. ]
no subject
Owen sighs, before calling on his magic and setting a magic circle on the forest floor. At least its path is predictable, so it should walk right into it and get immobilized.
hopefully,]

cw corpses
He flies out through the snow, eventually leading them to a large lake. Owen doesn't pause as he scans the shoreline, heading towards an island in the center of the lake.
That's absolutely covered in corpses in various states of decay, some only bones. But, you know, that's normal, and that's not what Owen's looking for.]
cw corpses
The monster stops by the time it devoured most of the corpses in the area. Ugh. It turns back to Hien and he looks over at Owen like he just got offended over something stupid. The next thing, he teleports and grabs onto the broom. ]
cw corpses
The broom dips when Hien grabs onto it, but Owen stays balanced. Definitely looks annoyed, now.]
All full now?
no subject
[ Even if Hien didn't have his powers, he'd be fit enough to pull himself up onto the broom. He pokes his back. ]
Gotcha.
no subject
[Weirdo. But he'll change directions again, after looking around the icy landscape.]
Now, when are you going to tell me what you are?
cw body horror, vore
[ Hien's arm turns into the monster's structure, complete with the usual wispy, shadowy maws that attempt to swallow Owen whole. ]
cw body horror, vore, how many times will owen die this event
He’ll still be pissed about this, though, once he’s been realived.]
