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!

[ Oh.

Huh.

Idia looks snazzy in that outfit. Hien's just wearing a t-shirt and black pants, so he's very far outclassed in that department. However, what catches his attention is that Idia called the robot his brother.

...

Hm.
]

Hey. We're here to rescue you. Where's the bride?

[ He tries cutting the ropes to free Idia. Unlike with ghosts, the knife is plenty useful here. ]

[Nothing unusual here, nothing contradictory to things Idia has said at all! He coped with the events of his past super well, clearly.]

[This Idia hasn't told anything to anyone, though. And while the ropes do clear away with a careful application of knife, he isn't moving from his position.]


E- Eh- Ortho, who is this person? Did the headmage send for some specialist?

[and he's looking to his robot, his brother,]

"Everyone else was taking too long. Mr. Hien NoEntry offered his help, so I figured it was the best chance. Can you get up?"

... n- no... She paralyzed me, just like she paralyzed all the other wannabe rescuers. They're all out in the cafeteria like logs on the ground of a survival-crafting game. She's probably there, too, g- get me out of here before someone notices!

Alright.

[ It doesn't take long for Hien to carry Idia bridal style easily. At least his arm is normal now. ]

Ortho, lead the way. You know this place better than I do.

[Idia makes a little "eep" as he's picked up off the ground. There's absolutely no recognition in his eyes and so he keeps trying to look over at Ortho for some reassurance.]

"The bride should be through those doors... or we could try and escape the way we came but there might be more guards."

[This would be where Idia would factor in on forced stealth in games but his nerves are still a little wild right now from the near-death and being bridal carried by a stranger.]

[ Hien leans in a little close to Idia's face and whispers: ]

It'll be fine. I'll keep you safe.

[ Anyway, he lifts his head to address Ortho. ]

I'll eat them again. It's no problem.
