05 - week five
WEEK FIVE
Come Sunday morning, the portals around Estelline fade away, but not all of the oddities hanging around disappear so quickly. The recreations of your dreams and memories are still around, ever changing and shifting. Whatever it is that brought these things here hasn’t ended, not yet.
You don’t have time to worry about all of that, though, even if you know you should exercise caution once two of you found yourselves on the bad end of a monster’s claws. The course still isn’t over, though, even if the portals changed lesson plans. Everything continues on, with new places to explore as the fog pushes back once again. This week still feels a little more like what you’re familiar with, though, after Saturday’s lack of lessons.
...For now.
SETTING TRACKER
SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY
SAGE / FLORENCE / LORELEI
CYOA SIGNUPS
Due Saturday at 8pm EST

Oh, hey. Making new friends?
[ yeah stranger you're hella suspicious. ]
no subject
[Hmm.]
I suppose she's gotten as many as she claimed she would need...

Are you willing to talk?
no subject
[ interesting commentary... ]
Sure, I'm willing to talk. Might be nice to know who I'm talking to though, don't you think?
[ he's going to get back to that need later, but for now he'll play ball just to see what he can see. ]
no subject
[You know, the fog doesn't make getting around easy.]
Unexpected complications are no excuse to withhold information.
no subject
[ wait. ]
You mean the person running this place?

that he's aware of.]no subject

Well, I can try and help if you have questions. Is leaving people completely in the dark about what's supposed to be happening here part of the usual program?
[ he's had this particular axe to grind since they got here and people started messing with his feelings against his will so, he has to ask. ]
no subject
[anyways]
Do you think this experience has benefited you in any way?

[ and... well that's the million-dollar question now isn't it? ]
But no! Whether or not you think people end up better off at the end of this, it's not real natural, is it? How is doing things against people's will supposed to be a good thing?
no subject
He seems to consider that for a moment.]
You don't think there's anything worth sacrificing your free will for?
no subject
Not necessarily. The point is that you didn't give anyone a choice. If people wanted to go through this willingly from the start, even if they weren't sure what was going to happen along the way? That's different.
