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.

I can be worried a-about myself and about you because you seem like you need h-help! Or to relax!

[pot, kettle, black.]

I-I don't know why people from outside were chosen, either! So why are you acting like I kn-know more than I do?! I'm just here for work and I have to go back and report all of this and I'll probably lose my job after this! Not that any of that... matters... I guess...

[what a disaster]

[unsinksyourship]

How can I relax when I'm in a place like this??

[Well, not in this place specifically, but it's not like Tamamori is keeping track of like. Exactly how much of this university campus is dangerous and a disaster (also how much of the student body, so it really might just be everything everywhere all the time) and how much is the spheres and how much is anything else.]

If you want to help, at least help us figure out how to get out of here! Since you're the only one they bothered to send, that's your responsibility. [pointing at him imperiously] They wouldn't fire you anyway, who else would they send down here?

[afflictionmods]

Y-you could have tea or something? I don't know!

[Maybe a massage? Or a nap? He seems like he could use a nap from where Kyle is standing. Sitting. Tied in a pathetic lump.]

I-I... Maybe you're right, but - I don't know that I can do that on my own?! I'm just one person! And I can't go against Dr. Juniper's orders!

[unsinksyourship]

Well, maybe I will get myself some tea as compensation for having to deal with Camellia.

[Or rather, this guy?? Tamamori really isn't pulling punches or anything, though maybe he's looking a bit more thoughtful that Kyle-something-or-other-long-ass-name isn't totally opposed to working in their interests. Something like that. You can see the gears grinding away up there, though whether they're grinding in the right direction is a matter for debate.]

What were the orders, anyway? Doesn't sound like there was much there! It's not like they know what's going on here, either.

[For better or for worse (maybe).]

[afflictionmods]

I-I was simply supposed to survey the students a-and see what things were like here, and then report that information to Dr. Juniper... I'm not, not really sure what he's looking for out of everything, but that's what I'm supposed to do...

[unsinksyourship]

Hmmm. So what would happen if you reported that everything was totally useless, we're all barbarians here and no amount of schooling would calm us down?

[Maybe if they get this guy to report that the project is useless they can get the project to end sooner?? Obviously?? Tamamori is not a tactician why did anyone allow him to Be Here and Do This.]

[afflictionmods]

I'm... n-not really sure, but that can be my report i-if you want it to be?

[Is this a good idea? Is this a bad idea? Who knows!]
