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.

[undertakings]

[back in the halcyon days of the past, before a kidnapping attempt occurred...]

That's what we've been called.

[afflictionmods]

Can I ask you a few questions about your experience?

[undertakings]

Why do you want to know?

[afflictionmods]

Call it scientific curiosity.

[undertakings]

If it's just curiosity, why go through the trouble of coming here yourself?

[afflictionmods]

There's not much we can see from outside, is there? You've seen what the city is like now!

[undertakings]

[Huh. There's a slight tilt of the head.]

You passed through the fog?

[afflictionmods]

N-no, I had to go around it... That's why it's taken so long to get out here!

[undertakings]

I thought it surrounded this area on all sides. There's an opening?

[afflictionmods]

Yeah, but it's not very wide... A-and hopefully it's still fine when I leave.

[Assuming he. Gets to leave.]

[undertakings]

Can you tell me where it is?

[is this going to be the partial impetus behind kidnapping plan, stay tuned]

[afflictionmods]

...Why do you want to know?

[He's on the defensive! It won't help!]

Are you going to follow me back?!

[undertakings]

Would that be possible?

[so like... put that down as a maybe]

[afflictionmods]

I... maybe? But please don't?!

[undertakings]

Why not?

[in an alternate universe shin stows away in this dude's car and squats in his apartment for a month]

[afflictionmods]

Because being followed home by a stranger is kind of scary?!

[home, he says, like he hasn't been crashing in an office for the past month+...]

[undertakings]

I'm not interested in your home. [reassuring?! (no)] But if there are others who know about this situation, then I think it would be beneficial to speak with them.

[afflictionmods]

I'm... not really sure if there are that many people who are available to discuss this at length...

[undertakings]

[?]

Are most of them dead?

[afflictionmods]

W-well... I hope not, but a lot of people have been pulled into the orbs...
