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.

???

[afflictionmods]

[ So, who's on campus this evening? ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien sure is. What is happening at night on campus? He's just out for a walk. ]

[mirrite]

[Coming back from a swim in the pool, please tell him he's not gonna ruin another shirt today...]

[afflictionmods]

[It seems like there's a stranger on campus, who definitely seems to looking around the grounds way too intently for them to have wandered in on accident.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is cautious when he makes his way there, on guard. He doesn't wanna get stabbed... ]

Hey. You looking for something?

[afflictionmods]

[I can promise no such thing.

At least this time there's no screaming, there's just a stranger who definitely seems to have noticed Marcus, and they don't look terribly impressed by him right now. The judgment is palpable.]

[afflictionmods]

[🔪]

I'm looking for several somethings.

[The stranger looks Hien up and down.]

Are you one of these "students"?

[selfconcept]

Yeah. What are you looking for?

[ hien is totally normal apart from his voice and eyes. It's fine. He's your resident alien. ]

[afflictionmods]

[Takes notes...]

I would like some feedback on how you feel about this... "course".

[selfconcept]

Got some specific questions?

[ Feedback is too broad of a subject. ]

[mirrite]

[Hmm. He's automatically on his guard now, though he's careful to keep his stance casual.]

... don't think I've seen you around before. You here for a visit?

[afflictionmods]

Of course.

[He pulls a small tablet out of his pocket, looking down at it for a moment.]

First, can you describe what being in this course has done for you?

[afflictionmods]

I'm here for an evaluation.

[Marcus will do, as they're fishing a small tablet out of their pockets.]

Are you one of the "students" here?

[kaientai]

[ ryouma was just out wandering around (and is sufficiently nosy) and happens to notice that one of these people isn't anyone he's seen before. which, like... weird. ]

Oh, hey. Making new friends?

[ yeah stranger you're hella suspicious. ]

[selfconcept]

Hm. I met new people. I learned how to get over a big thing about my past.

[mirrite]

You could say that. Kinda curious who's asking, though.

[Yeah no he is not exactly impressed either...]

[afflictionmods]

Do you think that's because of this "bond" you have now?

[selfconcept]

Well.

[ Hm. ]

Specify that. You mean because of this?

[ He holds his wrist up with the marking. ]

Or do you mean relationships in general?
