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

NEWSPAPER SUBMISSIONS + EDITION #1

SAGE / FLORENCE / LORELEI

MEM SHARE DETAILS



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 my god. fortunately for Phantom, Shin's not the type of person who would take advantage of this, but this sure is the trouble with memories being like this huh!!]

There wasn't a portal this time. I don't know how we got here either, but... [A pause.] Anyway, this shouldn't be happening.

[It'd get really weird if things kept going like this, so!! Maybe if this memory is like a dream, he get out by slapping Phantom or something... Shin will grab him by the shoulder and shake him a little.]

Wake up.

[More things Phantom wants to lodge a complaint with if anyone would tell him where!!]

Naturally this shouldn't be-

[Defensive snarkiness is engaging again, so at least some Phantom systems are coming back online. He startles back a little, but not out of grip range...

Luckily for Phantom this strategy is going to work before Shin needs to progress to slapping. The rest of the memory blinks away into darkness, and the portal appears again.]

[Clearly they just gotta send a petition with all their signatures to Lorelei!!

But okay good, success. Just going to peek into that portal to make sure it leads back to Estelline and not throw him into a void or whatever, but he'll step through and consider what he learned about Phantom which... honestly it brought up more questions than anything else.

But the magic was kinda cool.]
