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.

[mirrite]

You could say that. Kinda curious who's asking, though.

[Yeah no he is not exactly impressed either...]

[afflictionmods]

I'm a representative for Camellia.

[He's got a logo on his shirt and everything!]

[mirrite]

[Interest levels suddenly going up about 100%... concern levels also increasing appropriately.]

... you don't say. You gonna ask me to take a survey or something? Because I've got plenty of feedback to give.

[afflictionmods]

Yes, of course. Subject feedback is important.

[Clears throat.]

What do you believe has changed about yourself over the duration of this course so far?

[mirrite]

About myself? Well, considering that you picked the worst possible partner for me...

Speaking of which, can I lodge a complaint about that part?

[It's worth a shot.]

[afflictionmods]

We didn't assign the partners for this.

[So, like. He can, but he's barking up the wrong tree.]

So you don't think the bond established between you two has been beneficial?

[mirrite]

Hell no. If anything, it's made me hate him even more.

[... this is not entirely true.]

[afflictionmods]

Is that so...

[Hm.]

So you would not want to see this replicated in your home world?

[mirrite]

Absolutely. Not.

[...]

... are you trying to imply that's part of the plan?

[afflictionmods]

Of course not.

[He huffs and puffs a bit.]

This bond has changed how you interact with those around you, yes? Do you believe that it would be the case with everyone you know, or are you a special case given your circumstances?

[mirrite]

[... oh. Marcus' demeanor instantly goes frigid at those words.]

... so you know about that, huh? Figures you would.

[afflictionmods]

[Interesting.]

I know those chosen to be here are largely people with exceptional circumstances... Do you have a problem with that?

[mirrite]

Not at all. It's good to hear that confirmed, though.

[...]

... but I gotta ask. Why Phantom and not Phil?

[afflictionmods]

Well, I don't know? I didn't make that call.

[he just works here!!]

Ask Lorelei.

[mirrite]

Maybe I will, then.

[Yeah, he definitely will, thanks.]

[afflictionmods]

[there's something very ominous about this...]

O-okay. I, um, hope that conversation goes well for you...
