COUNTDOWN: PUTTING THE M IN MORALITY 3.0

Did someone contact you during your dreams? Perhaps you were lucky and a few images of your past lives were revealed to you. Then maybe when your phone begins to act strange, you aren't as surprised. Maybe there's a feeling that you've seen this before... could it be a case of deja-vu?
You could all say it started with a strange icon that popped up on your phone that day. September 9th, 2017, a mysterious icon begins your decent into a different world.

Did you press it right away out of curiosity? Did you press it accidentally trying to dismiss it? Or did you wait long enough for it to cover your entire screen, forcing you to interact with it? Either way, congratulations! You've got...a Terms of Service popping up in front of you?

Yes | Hell Yes | Man I Can'T Wait to See What this is About! | APPLES!
It really seems like you don't have much choice. After pressing one of the four buttons (one of them trailing off to the side of the screen), a new screen greets you.
21 DAYS REMAIN BEFORE FULLY AWAKENING
Hey! Welcome to your new half life. Something like that. I'm Luci! You don't know who I am, but I know who you are. Freaky huh? But that's okay, cause you got a few of your friends coming in too. Anyway, answer these questions, we're gonna have a fun time talking about them, I'm not being all fancy this time, got it? Don't worry if the answer sounds 'bad'. After all, you're gonna be working with the rest of us! What's the worst that could happen?
I mean, bad things could happen. But that's why there's other people to help you! CHECK IT OUT GUYS I DID A FRIENDSHIP THING. PS - If you see something from a guy called "Guts", he can be really mean sometimes, so be careful!!!
Are they... acting like theyโve just hired you for a new job? (And really being impolite too. Who is this Guts guy?)
The first (and only) question for today is:
Would you kill a man/woman?
1) Yes! That sounds fun.
2) Yes, but only because they killed someone I loved.
3) Yes, but only out of self-defence.
4) This question is confusing me because I am unable to reach a proper conclusion.
5) No! That's so wrong!
6) No, but mostly because no one should know about my dark secrets.
7) No, I'm too pure.
8) No, but I'd pay someone else to do it. Guilt free, AND smart!
As you go to pick out an option... or try to exit out of it... you witness an all-too brief memory of a life you think isn't yours. A flash that makes you think you were hallucinating... or maybe something you've seen before in your mind. Your head hurts, your heartbeat increases dramatically, and you can barely see anything ahead of you...
Wait, did you already pick something? You don't remember touching the screen, but something's already been highlighted and pressed for you. Staring at the 'saving' prompt, you will later find out it was a deeper memory from your heart. It might terrify you, what you've picked.
After that, the program displays nothing else for a few seconds before a chatroom (appleNET chat v.301.02) boots up, with a username already attached to your account and a little icon, either a sword or a ship steering wheel, next to it. More worryingly, your answer is the first thing posted from your name. Not even a hi or hello.
Well good thing no one has any idea who you are... right?
But don't worry... this time you're not quite alone.
[OOC: The memory should only last for a few seconds, but it would be something significant that would surprise them. It could even be related to this question!
All mentions of their profession or other clues that might reveal who they are will be changed to [INFORMATION LOCKED]. However, due to the dream memories, their usernames will be a combination of the demon you chose for their Persona and their REAL name (not their AU one).
FOR PLAYERS ALREADY IN THE GAME: Your character now has their REAL name and their demon name. Additionally, NOTHING GETS CENSORED WHEN YOUR CHARACTER SPEAKS.
For the new players, have fun!]

...but he didn't let Vincent get away.
If he was going down, he was taking the other boy with him and, digging his nails into Vincent's wrist to keep him from weaseling out of his grip, they tumbled across the grass together, again. All flailing limbs and curses with a teacher looking on as if she were about to faint.]
no subject
Vincent hadn't been planning on making this a paired descent, but he doesn't shy away from it once he feels the excitingly painful sting of the other boy's nails in his wrist. he twists and jerks the limb as they fall, doing everything he can to contort Fubuki's hand to a point that something would inevitably break.
the rest of him is busied with landing as many blows to as many sensitive areas as possible. he doesn't care where or which or even if most of them miss - at this point his adversary was so battered that it wouldn't take much more to permanently disable him.]
no subject
Fists and feet land several blows against him, and while he does his best to strike back just as hard for every kick or swing Vincent takes, his own attacks begin to slow.
In fact, it isn't until he finds the teacher physically throwing herself between Vincent and him that he even realizes that he's sprawled on his back on the ground with black spots in his vision. How?! How could have lost to someone like that...?
The teacher holds her arms out to keep Vincent away from Fubuki, her obvious fear of the young male in front of her painted all over her face. Nevertheless, she refuses to budge.
"Get out of here, you hooligan!"]
no subject
once he realizes that she's finally crossed whatever line was necessary to motivate her out of spectator mode he backs off, chuckling darkly as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. he doesn't mind quitting here - he's had his fun.
before turning to start walking away, however, he leans down so that he can catch Fubuki's eyes beneath his teacher's protective arms.]
That's a loss for you.
[and a worse one than he'd have suffered without outside assistance. he just wants to make sure the boy knows that.]
