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!





catarou: (What's this?)

[ Gentaro stops himself from swiping the lollipops. It's-- fine. If they're (lolli)popping up everywhere, he's going to have to take a couple of hours to gather as many as he possibly can.

Anyway. How do you explain to someone that the only people capable of making them is... the shitty government? He'd have to explain a lot more, and quite frankly, he's not thrilled about that. So. ]


Hmm. Yes, that is correct. That, and the fact that they are made in an incredibly particular way, therefore preventing them from being widely available.

A controlled substance?

[Is that what Phantom #2 said? No, but it's worth fishing for a reaction, especially if these are Not Candy. Phantom will just casually pocket one.

Maybe he can get Marcus to eat it later, or something.]


That does make it stranger. The shop as well. We haven't seen any indication that the natives here ordinarily had the kind of magic it would take to simply materialize something like that.

I suppose you could consider it that.

[ Gentaro watches the motion of his pocketing it. Well... if he wants to eat it, he supposes he can't stop him. ]

Unless it isn't magic. If we were brought here, then it stands to reason that perhaps this world's technology is sophisticated and powerful enough to bring other things.

Of course, if it is magic, that would make it more interesting, hm? I admit, I'm not familiar with it, at least outside of fiction.
