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!

cw suicide
[ flat's voice trails off, as he goes to sit back down on the bed. those words carry an incredible weight for him, though he's unsure whether or not miach feels the same way. he figures that she does, or else she wouldn't be doing such a thing.
there's a lot that he wants to say. but, perhaps, he'll talk to the real miach. not this one. this one is not his miach yet, so she wouldn't understand the way that his miach will. ]
Are you doing this with your friends?
cw suicide
[ A weak nod, decidedly affirmative. She doesn't ask why Flat knows about Tuan and Cian - the fact that he does just heightens the possibility that he is a manifestation of her dying brain. ]
The three of us are... making this declaration together. We will never grow up. We will never be incorporated into the whole... that makes up 'Japan', this land of the healthy. Our bodies will vanish, while we are still ourselves.
cw suicide
[ for a moment, flat has to pause and consider what he's going to do. what he wants to do. on one hand, a small part of him has figured out that there might be a grave flaw in miach's plan, and that it caused her to not see her friends for a long time. this part of him wants to tell her the truth.
but the bigger part of him understands that this is just a mirage. this is a memory fabricated for him to see...for the sake of whatever little experiment this is supposed to entail. and if that's the case...
he stands up. ]
So sorry! I just don't have any interest in talking to a mirage of the past. I'll let your future self know what I think about this plan, so please, don't mind me and continue starving yourself. [ he gives the girl an energetic salute, like a boy playing to be a soldier. ] It was great meeting you, Miach! Have fun!
[ and with that, he'll let her go as he leaves through the room...and out the memory. ]
