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: 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!

[ Fai won't say that he can, because that's simply not true for anyone, but... ]

Just enjoy all of this as much as you can for now, so you can look back on it fondly later.

cw gore, death

[endearments]

[ Hyunjung tries hard to smile. ]

Yeah, you're right—

[ All of a sudden, the surroundings get fuzzy. What Fai will see in the next moments is heavy TV static with some moments that he can see, which is a figure with a hammer. One moment, the bat is down, and the next, it's being swung overhead—

Hyunjung Kang is dead.

When everything goes back to normal, there's no one around Fai except Hyunjung's corpse with his head smashed open. The metal hammer is right by Hyunjung's side, all bloody. ]

[partymagician]

[ Before he knows it, static surrounds him and suddenly Hyunjung is dead.

He couldn't do anything. Just like the memory with the tent, Fai was useless. He takes a deep breath, letting it out as he looks at the hammer.

Some memories aren't meant to be changed. This isn't his fault. ]

Hyunjung... I'm so sorry.

[ While he can't change this... he looks to see if he can spot the killer nearby. ]

[endearments]

[ There is unfortunately no killer. They came and went like Fai's static vision. They definitely had power though and had a personal grudge against Hyunjung. That much, Fai can be aware of.

Unfortunately, the memory melts into nothing. That's the end of the rope. Goodbye. ]
