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.

[ Rollo'll definitely take his sweet time sniffing Sabo, but he's absolutely down for pets. He'll actually be recognizable from the memory share, but he was a newborn at that point. ]

That was my initial thought. It does raise the question of why they haven't tried anything similar with us, unless we're supposed to act as a control group of some kind.

[ Not that. That's a suggestion. Absolutely the fuck not. ]

[ BABY!!!!! sabo is here to pet cats. he likes animals especially if they do not want to eat or harm him. have a few ear scritches. ]

Perhaps it's because they're testing something different on us since we haven't been shown to be able to effect the environment in the ways that they're hoping to control.

[ we are pointedly ignoring the dreamscape for this exact moment in time. ]

Given that we share pain and emotions with whoever we're marked with, it could be as simple as that. They're testing to see whether the awareness of emotions may influence the way we act as another means of control.

[ Sabo gets a 'naaaa' for his troubles as Rollo leans into his hand. He has been chosen. ]

Maybe. I question whether they know what they're doing, given the last few weeks.

[ WEEPS AT THE EMOTE IN THE METATEXT.

sabo will just continue to pet rollo. he does not have treats for the baby but he will supply all of the pets until rollo is done with pets. ]

Could it be that we're just an unexpectedly difficult population of test subjects? [ laughs. ] It's not like we have accepted Lorelei's words as truth or have blindly followed what we're told.
