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 they’ve 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!]
i like how we cw here before it's graphic and then nearly forget in the actual graphic thread
Make it yours.
It was the one thing he couldn't wash off himself in this shower, but with Vincent's help he could overwrite that wrong and make it better. He wasn't just giving permission. He was asking.]
excuse you there's graphic emotions in this thread
he never did have a problem with taking what he wanted, and he very much wants to have this. a permanent mark of his presence in Kit's life, where all the world could see...there was no possibility of backing down.
his finger traces the line of the already existing cut almost lovingly, moving up from it until it reaches an acceptable distance away. he taps the spot twice, the only forewarning Kit receives before he's plunging his sharp nail into the other boy's flesh.
his blood is hot, but Vincent's hands are steady. he moves with no trace of uncertainty, leaving a scarlet trail in his wake as he slices a new crescent across his companion's cheek. it was like a triumph in and of itself - of the pair of them over Kurt, over the fire, over the past. there would be nothing in their lives that they didn't want there.
the blood thins out as the shower perpetually washes away the open wound, leaving an almost artful shade of red across his fingers. he remains where he is even after he's finished, holding onto Kit's face, just standing with him as he took in this moment. this felt right.]
and blood too now. way graphic. the most.
Fresh blood spilled in a bright red wave down his cheek, staining the underside of Vincent's nail and decorating the line of Kit's lips. He could taste the sweet metallic flavor on his tongue as he smiled, and he savored it. With it, all that Kurt had done was in the past and they had taken a portion of their revenge.
How did one thank another for something like this?
Kit wasn't sure what etiquette demanded in these situations, but he recalled the way Vincent had lapped his blood off Kurt's brass knuckles earlier and it gave him an idea.
Tracing his fingers wonderingly over the new wound, their tips were painted with red before he pressed them gently to Vincent's mouth.]
the most lurid thread we've done so far
when fingertips gently press against his mouth, Kit will find those lips curving up into a smile of their own. his own bloody hand drifts down from the boy's face to gingerly grasp his wrist, keeping them steady and safe as he eagerly accepts their gift into his mouth.
there's something akin to reverence in the way that Vincent savors the other teen's blood this time - at the very least respectful as his tongue works its way across every available surface, taking care to leave not a single drop remaining. it was a taste that he'd quickly come to love after only a few short experiences, and one that he hadn't anticipated drinking in ever again.
truly, this was the more sincere show of gratitude he could have been offered.]
hands down
Retrieving his fingers from in between the other boy's lips, Kit guided them back around Vincent's head and pulled him closer. And, as he leaned down, tongue escaping to tease away a spot of red that lingered at the corner of his companion's mouth, he turned his head and allowed his bloodied cheek to paint Vincent's.]
no idea how we can keep going without burning in shame
they clearly both haven't finished with this moment, but Vincent is loathe to disturb his newest blessing. instead he moves for the source, using their new proximity to press his mouth against the fresh cut and gently begin to suckle it. could the other boy see him from this angle, the way he had before? for some reason he fervently hopes so.]
we're fireproof? elmo.gif
If there was any other word for what he felt in that moment, it eluded him. But the way his companion felt was no mystery.
Vincent didn't hesitate. As always, his mouth was honest. He accepted his reward gratefully, as he had accepted responsibility for completing the mark on Kit's face. Even if neither of them would admit as much to the other, that mark belonged to him now, just as surely as Kit did himself.]
i didn't buy that upgrade...
for someone who had never experienced any of this in the past, Vincent found this entire moment surprisingly natural. not a thing felt out of place, from their bodies to their feelings. even the shower beating off their skin formed the perfect soundtrack to the bond that had been solidified now.
this was all his now. his and Kit's, as certain as as the tang of metal on his tongue.]
but it was a free dlc
He supposed he would have to settle for something closure and, turning his head, stealing his cheek away from Vincent, he pressed his mouth to the other boy's, their lips softly fitting together. His kiss was like fire, weightless and warm, and it was just as fleeting, too. Still, it was as much a show of gratitude as anything else he'd offered so far.
Perhaps even more so.]
i didn't buy the deluxe edition it came with
Kit has never discussed his reluctance to kiss, but perhaps subconsciously he's sensed it all the same. there must be some reason that he simply knows how precious this gift is and instinctively holds it close in his heart. when he leans in even closer to return the regard, however, his target has already escaped.
with a soft chuckle of insincere disappointment, Vincent runs his tongue across his lips almost immediately. he didn't want the water to have even a whisper of his companion's taste.
it's a little unfair that he was able to soak up all these experiences and Kit could only provide them. did he want something similar for himself? his eyes ask the question as he cants his head to the side teasingly.]
