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!

no subject
[ He rubs Phantom's back, smiling. ]
Just promise me you'll try to fight back those nasty thoughts from now on, okay?
no subject
I promise. I'd never... [well,] I'll never do that again.
no subject
[ Truthfully, Fai isn't sure that he will, but only because this is a memory. There's only so much he can change. ]
Now, let's make sure they're in good condition, alright?
no subject
Right. I should be able to do a little more for Ix. He'll be fine.
no subject
[ He'll look for any obvious injuries for Ix. There has to be something Fai can help with.
If this memory allows him, that is. ]
no subject
[There are definitely monster injuries that Fai can help with, and the memory won't resist interference here. If anything, this part feels very malleable to change. Phantom holds out his hand over one injury and starts working on a healing.]
no subject
Fai. What about yours?
no subject
[With Fai's help the injuries seem to close up cleanly and Phil(?) sits back with a little sigh of relief. And maybe a tiny wince. The memory feels fuzzier around the edges now, almost out of focus, but soft.]
He'll have to rest after using that much power. But it should be fine...
no subject
I think you're right, Phil. Make sure he gets plenty of rest, alright?
cw memory issues, violence
[And it seems like he means it!
The memory goes fuzzy, then strange, like slides for a projector laid over each other. An open hill instead of the forest. The girl upright and uninjured. One where the boy is certainly stabbed through the chest with a mirror shard. It all blurs together, but the portal out is visible now.]
no subject
There certainly is a lot going on now, and Fai just barely keeps up with all of it. He tries to see if he can reach out, somehow, but then his portal out is there in plain sight.
...
There's not much else he can do, so he takes the exit. ]
