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.

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!

[Rei, for his part, seems to return to his own room. And as the fading light of the setting sun floods in from the window, Rei's composure finally slips as he weeps, sobs full of grief and anger in equal measure. It's hard to say exactly how long he stays there, but by the time he stops, the faint pink-purple hues of the sky give way to the cover of night as faint beams of moonlight illuminate the space. At this point however, it's also plenty apparent that much of the sorrow in his face has drained away only to leave a tenuous balance between the hollow emptiness in Rei's eyes, and the indignation simmering underneath.

And that's when the door creaks open behind him, revealing the small silhouette of an eight year-old, and the older Shin standing behind him as he watches on silently. In sharp contrast to Rei, young Shin's face is full of nothing but simple, childish confusion.

'Brother... Where's Mommy? Isn't she coming back? Why...? Why did she... die?'

There's silence.]
