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.

He can find a plain brown box, which might have to be good enough for now.
There's advertisements for new stamp designs, but if he looks around he'll see there's a handmade notice at the register reading:
Don't go out at night! :(
It's a bit wrinkled, but it's been taped down to the counter pretty securely.]
no subject
a brown box is definitely going to be good enough because it can be multipurpose in regards to its use. so now he has a box and an axe. the man is here for business!!! though that also said, he's going to frown at that note. hmm. is there anything else by the note or anything like that?
if nothing else, he's going to keep going deeper into the post office to those po boxes. which...i'm almost certain aren't going to come open easily, huh? ]
no subject
There's nothing directly next to the note, but as he moves onto the PO boxes (with his axe that will surely not be relevant in the next tag or anything...) he will find what seems to be a flyer for... a party? Someone seems to be throwing a party (or... was planning on throwing a party, because this notice seems to be from a month ago) to "orb watch and chill".
So, you know, people will always be people. The address seems to lead to the nearby apartment complex.
Anyways, yeah. The PO boxes won't go down without a fight (or keys).]
no subject
the axe will definitely be important in this tag because unless he could have found keys behind the register then he's most certainly going to seek violence against the po boxes which may or may not require the location page to be updated to reflect all of the damage that sabo is doing.
but "orb watch and chill"?? ??? what are the details about what to expect?? looks like? are there pictures?? but yes. sabo is about to fight these po boxes if there's nothing else to make note of are there any special boxes? ones that look particularly full? ]
no subject
And the keys weren't kept at the register, nope, so I guess he's just... once again causing a location update... There's a few that look reasonably full, but of course it's hard to tell what's in them from the outside.]
no subject
okay... well. i guess...that's something that people do here? it shouldn't be that surprising since there are all kinds of people in this world(s). but okay, if there aren't any kind of po box that sabo should be focusing on, then he was going to be hacking at the first one that he sees. careful hacking. probably some prying too since that's the sensible thing to do.
get ready to update location page with the amount of damage that is being done.
no subject
It opens, though, because, like. What's a PO box gonna do against an axe? Absolutely nothing.
Inside is... mail, unsurprisingly. Perhaps also unsurprisingly, it just seems to be junk. He's welcome to go to town on the rest, but he's unlikely to find anything all that different from what was in the trucks outside.
Except there's no cute dinos this time.]
no subject
though if there's nothing new that can be found in the the po boxes or notable, he's going to go to the back to check to see how things are back here. just to be thorough even if the mental image of this might be honestly frightening at this point. also is there not any kind of employee breakroom? ]
no subject
There's more mail, of course, waiting to be sorted and sent off to its destination. There's not a breakroom, either, but there is a little table and counter in the back corner with a coffee pot, microwave, and minifridge and a couple chairs for people to take their breaks at.
Mail is mail, though he will be able to find a stack of flyers meant to be mailed out. At a glance, he'll be able to see it has Camellia's logo on it. Does he want to take a closer look?]
no subject
and well, glad to know that even if there isn't a breakroom for the employees who were here, there is a rest area of sorts for them. he will definitely go take a closer look at that logo!!! but first, he will want to sneak a peek of what's inside of the minifridge.
look. this is important to him. maybe.
once that is said any done he will look over the mail being mail and briefly giving them once over before honing in on that logo and these flyers. do they advertise the same thing that he found in the trashcan a few weeks back? ]
no subject
Also, no! These flyers seem to be a warning for cities beyond Estelline. A warning about the orbs, and a message, saying that no matter what happens...
You can trust Camellia to have the needs of the people as their top priority.]
no subject
.... y....maybe..? just a quick peek to see what was left behind, okay? he's not going to eat anything he finds in there!!!
but hello? he's definitely going to pick one of these flyers and examine it closer. in terms of the camellia logo—do they look to be exactly the same? he's checking to if he could notice one being fabricated and another being legit.
given that it might be much to ask for the name of the cities (since it's probably flavor??) are these flyers more recent? suppose these also just have random people on them in addition to the logo or is it structured differently? ]
no subject
They look the same as every other one he's seen, and it's very recent - or at least as recent as anything has been. It seems like the flyers were printed only a week or so before everyone arrived to be students - as if it was a haphazard attempt to save people from the orbs, as it does say that if you see anything strange at night, do not approach them.]
no subject
hmms at the recent flyers. whomst the antagonist and whomst the protag in this story?
but okay, like much all things that sabo runs into whenever he's out on a journey, he's going to help himself to a flyer. does the flyer say anything else outside of the warning? places to go for safety? contact information of some sort?? and also because he is Like This, he'll flip through the stack of flyers to see what else could have been printed. you know, variations and the like.
he won't be going one by one but chunks at a time because who has time to do that??? also that is actually crazy. ]
no subject
It doesn't say anything about where to go for safety besides "check with local authorities". There's an e-mail address and a phone number, but with no way to call or send e-mails there's not much to do with them.
There are some variations, but those just seem to be the same flyer with the same information in different languages, none of which seem familiar to Sabo - no weird Japanese-English One Piece fusion here.]
no subject
but okay... man imagine if there was a phone and/or email that they could use to contact the ""outside"" world about some of these things. sadly, they cannot so here we are. he's definitely not missing how this paints camellia in a different light.
whomst the antagonist and protagonist feelings but louder.
if he does another look over the back room, is there anything that would stick out to him? or has he done all of the damage that he can do? no stone will be left unturned here. ]
no subject
But, nope! Not much else to find unless he wants to steal more boxes. The post office is now clear!]
no subject
but hooray!!! ]
