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!

[It's true that would keep him away from them, but he does wonder if that's a sensible solution]
no subject
[ he shrugs. really, he doesn't seem all that bothered by the fact that his parents want to kill him at all. ]
My parents won't teach me Magecraft, but a lady said I could learn there. It's in London. It's where all the Magi go study, she said.

[Sholmes looked right at Flat]
Yes.
[He lowered his voice]
You remind me of someone I know. Somebody who can look at any situation and face it without being bothered at all. Someone who would do something like playing trombone to annoy somebody with power over them and aid in a detective's antics without asking questions. Quite an admirable fellow! And with a past just as heavy as yours, if not more.
[Sholmes talking to Flat about Flat, yeah]
Your situation may not be like his, but I have the absolute certainty someday you can be like him -- and if a great detective gives this reassurance, you can be certain it's as true as water is wet!
Go to London and learn magic. It's a most marvelous metropolis, where I myself come from. You'll find a way to get there one way or another if you do want to do so.

[ there's something in the boy's eyes, seemingly vacant and unreadable. what the man in front of him is saying doesn't make sense, but it's piques his interest. what part of him could remind this stranger of that? unless, perhaps, he could be something like in those books he's read? time travelers or alternate universes...
what would the him of another universe be like, the boy wonders? that question grabs his attention, and he's about to ask when--
...!
the boy gives no warning before turning around to face the entrance, where a man and a woman are raising their hands, each firing a spell rife with a killing intent and desperation that should even be palpable to sholmes. even for the non-mage, there should be no doubt that they mean to kill the boy in front of him. an average human would not be able to survive it.
and yet...
the boy does not budge when the hit lands on him, nor does he fight back. he simply takes the spell head on... and nothing happens. from the clear look on the couple's faces, this is not an expected result. ]
How could that happen?! How could you take that head on!?
[ the boy looks at his parents, seemingly unperturbed by the murder attempt. of course, he still has no way of showing these emotions. ]
I don't know. I just did it and it worked.
