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

also sabo is suddenly Very Interested in this new information, thank you. ]
Is it? What project were you working on previously then? I know this is unrelated to your survey, but I'd be interested in hearing about it.
no subject
Well, it's less... a project and more I'm supposed to m-make sure we meet compliance and follow safety regulations with our projects, but it just kind of... ends up being a lot of paperwork and checking on procedures... and it's not even what I studied in school...
no subject
Don't downplay yourself. All of those things are important to ensure that no one gets hurt and that project like these run smoothly. The people I work with could complain about the way I turn in my reports.
[ with all of the energy of, "oh please tell me more"/"i'm listening". ]
What is it that you studied in school, Kyle?
no subject
I… suppose… Maybe…
[He’s being played like a fiddle.]
I studied, um, computer engineering, so it’s… pretty different. B-but it’s work, so…
no subject
Computer engineering?
[ maybe so, but sabo is going to be genuinely impressed with this. this soft boy with his snek friend a computer nerd. maybe makes sense on some level. ]
That certainly is different than what you're made to do here, though since I'm not from around here, what does that entail exactly? Would you know how to program certain devices to do this and that?
no subject
Y-yes...? I mean, it would depend on the device... I'm not sure if it's, um, something from your home if I could do much of anything with it? I'm not sure of it would be possible to make them compatible.
no subject
and during my walk home i began to despair bc sabo doesn't carry electronics with him because why would he!!! that said and maybe against better judgment, he's going to show kyle his tablet. ]
Could you mess with this?
no subject
[...]
I mean, sometimes these things, you know... take time and all that?
no subject
[ ...
looks at my hands. ]
If you want, you could borrow it for a while.
no subject
[He does look very curious about it, though.]
Are you sure, though? If you need it, I wouldn't want to take it from you...
no subject
Positive. I still have my brother's that I can use.
You can keep in contact with me easy that way, too.
no subject
[He will hold the tablet close, because he's not really sure what to do with himself right now!? Help. This isn't going how he was expecting.
and he hasn't even been tied up yet......]
Keep in contact with you? Is there a reason I should be doing that?
no subject
ALSO THIS IS SO DISTRESSING. i guess kyle gets to keep sabo's tablet despite everything else that gets to happen to him?? since no one is writing that they returned it.
but also: ]
Why not?
no subject
W-well… I don’t know why we would need to talk more but… maybe it would come in handy in the future?
no subject
I'm sure you wouldn't mind someone new to talk to as well, right?
no subject
That… might be nice? But are you really sure?
[sabo have mercy he is a very nervous lad
also naru please have mercy on me weeps]
no subject
you both are doing your absolute best. ]
Of course. In the end, aren't we all in this together?
no subject
[Kyle is very confused right now.]
no subject
Of course. I'm sure you want your hometown to return to normal and get rid of this fog.
Perhaps whatever you can find out with the research that involves us might lead to that answer. We also want to get rid of this fog.
[ among other things but you know. ]
no subject
I see... well, I will... take this, then. And, uh. Keep in touch?
[...]
And hopefully things will get back to normal sooner rather than later...
no subject
Please do; there's only so much that I do around here. I wouldn't turn down another conversation.
[ then he'll offer kyle an earnest smile and place a hand over his chest. ]
And likewise. I know I'm determined to see that it does; it wouldn't feel right to me to leave you all in this state.
no subject
I... appreciate it! I-I am sure everyone else would, too.
Um.
[wheezes]
I-I have to go finish these surveys, though, so... i-it was nice meeting you, and I'll take a look at this tablet when I get the time...
[Now, he needs to go get kidnapped,]
no subject
Good luck.
[ hang in there kyle....... and sabo is waving him off to get...kidnapped...and tied up.
at least he knows there's one decent person here??? ]
