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!

[ He can't even muster a smile right now, but hello, Marcus. He looks up at him. ]
Sorry... I don't know what's going on, but I'd offer to make you tea or something if Tenn-nii wasn't out there. I can't look at him right now.
no subject
Thanks, but considering I sort of barged in uninvited, it'd be pretty rude of me to expect something like that. Besides, I'm not the one who looks like they could use some tea right about now...
[He sobers up a little now.]
More seriously though, you okay? He was laying into you pretty hard there.
no subject
[ The answer to Marcus' question comes easily. ]
I hate him.
[ ... ]
Tenn-nii... I thought he supported me, I thought he saw me as a worthy rival. But...there was a time where I almost collapsed after a concert, and ever since then, he's been treating me like this. He doesn't believe in me...even though this is my dream.
no subject
[He frowns.]
And it wasn't even during the actual concert itself?
no subject
[ He's so frustrated, and it's clear in the way he speaks. ]
This whole time, I thought he left because I was a burden to him. But no, he left because he thought my parents' business wasn't worth his time, and he wanted to be properly introduced to the entertainment industry...
[ Which isn't the actual reason, but it's the reason he gave to Riku, so yeah. ]
He doesn't believe in me. He thinks that all I do is disappoint my fans.
no subject
[Marcus sighs, shoving his hands into his pockets. Boy, all of this is sounding waaaay more familiar than he likes... oh the irony.
Phil]Look. Have any of your fans ever told you you were a disappointment? Ever heard of any of them talking about stuff like that behind your back?
no subject
[ Some of them very well might be saying that on social media, but Riku hasn't seen anything like that at this point.
Marcus has a good point. ]
...You think he's being too harsh, then?
no subject
[He grins.]
Right?
