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.


SETTING TRACKER

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!

Drop it.

[ As Julius all but growls at Rideaux, some flash of recognition seems to dawn on Ludger's face like he just made some kind of connection about who this man might be. He hesitates, but he manages to get his words out: ]

You're Julius' friend, right? The one he wants to kick?

[ That seems to snap Julius immediately out of whatever spell he's in as he looks back at Ludger with a furious look. ]

Ludger! What did I tell you?!

[ Predictably, all that manages to do is scare the younger brother, as he steps backward nervously. ]
pr159: (so casually brave)

His only friend, yes. You can see why, right?

[ Taking a step toward Ludger while looking Julius dead in the eye. ]

He's so mean sometimes.

[ Before Ludger can say anything, Julius snaps back and steps in the way in between the two of them. His swords are in his room, but he can grab Ludger on his way over if he plans it out right. But... ]

Leave him out of this. You know he has nothing to do with this.

[ ... even if it's his fault he's here in the first place, but clearly that doesn't need to be said. ]
pr159: (or let me put this another way)

[personal profile] pr159 2022-06-18 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Is that right?

[ ... ]

You know, even if this dimension is about to go up in smoke, you might want to stop the same from happening to your kitchen. You don't want that to be his last memory, do you?

[ Julius twitches, but as clearly none of the problems in the kitchen are going away, he turns back to Ludger. ]

I'm not going to repeat myself.

[ And then he darts back to the kitchen, turning the burners off and hoping that's all he needs to do to get this to stop.

Ludger watches Rideaux quietly before looking back at the door to his bedroom. ]
