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!

[Can't believe Owen wants to make Owen a catgirl...

She looks equal parts amused and confused, but it's not really a difficult request, so.

Nya.]

[ kawaii....

He thinks it looks cute on her, but then Hien reaches out to pinch her cat ear. Because he's a bully.

[Should have expected that, honestly.

She only tolerates one pinch, before pulling back.]


Don't do that.

[personal profile] selfconcept 2022-06-23 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me what to do.

[ He reaches out in an attempt to fold Owen's cat ears backwards. ]

[What’s with the ear fascination!!]

I should have left you a cat.

[She slaps his hand away. Stop that.]

[ Fine. He'll behave. For now. ]

Too bad. Now you can't do it again.

[ Hm. ]

You're so calm when you're not antagonizing people.

[Wow?]

What were you expecting? To be on my bad side forever, no matter when or how we meet?

[personal profile] selfconcept 2022-06-25 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah because you're a prissy princess.

[ Yeah, he's telling her to her face. ]

[...]

You might be the only person who would ever say that about me.

[personal profile] selfconcept 2022-06-26 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Why? Since everyone else is too scared to?

[ He ain't scared of you ]
sicklysweet: (pic#14878130)

[personal profile] sicklysweet 2022-06-27 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously.

[She's the scariest! And that's how she likes it!]

Most wizards can barely make eye contact, much less humans. You saw how things were in the bar.

It was still pretty lively, so I dunno what you're talking about.

[ Even if Owen seemed lonely? Somehow. ]

Anyway, you. You're not scary.

Western wizards have a strange relationship with fear.

[It's kind of annoying. Westerners are the worst because even if you try to make them afraid they just make it weird.

Her face screws up.]


How do you know I'm not scary to things that aren't just Calamities? Are you saying I'm weak?
selfconcept: (pic#14394402)

[personal profile] selfconcept 2022-06-27 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kinda like Owen, huh. ]

Yeah.

[ He sure said that to her face. ]

Gonna do something about it?
sicklysweet: (Default)

[personal profile] sicklysweet 2022-06-27 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't kinkshame her.]

You really like pushing people, don't you?

[She grits her teeth, before glancing back at the under construction city. She's mulling over something. What she could do to this city and if it would be worth it, perhaps, because she sighs next.]

I like Shylock's bar, though, so I don't want to destroy anything too badly. Don't tell anyone I said that.

[ Hien almost snorts, but waves his hand. ]

Yeah, yeah. Sure. After all, it's the only thing keeping me from being skewered to death.

[ Probably. He remembers those ice... ]

As a Calamity, can you even die?

[Not that she wouldn't try, but.]

Wanna find out?

[ Sure is a challenge. ]
