applenet | COUNTDOWN: FACES OF FUTURE & PAST 2.0

It's been 7 days since the first network post, and predictably for those who where here the first two times, a second one makes it's appearance a week afterwards.

Appearing when least expected, disappearing when others are too close. Others might have warned the Unawakened, but now they're finding out for themselves. Bringing the phone to a repair shop to get it looked at? No programs found. Even getting the phone completely wiped did nothing, as the icon just showed up a few minutes after they walked out of the store. Showing it to a family member? The minute you blinked or turned it around to show them, it simply wasn't there...

Saturday night rolls around and still nothing from the application. The news has been...strangely worrying with a high concentration of cats still coming in from the nearby cities and causing additional problems for the population. For those of you alergic to cats...it has been a nightmare. For those not alergic to cats...honestly the honeymoon period is clearly over, with so many cats screaming, eating anything they can find and just huddling everywhere. What's strange is many of them appear to be someone's cats. However returning them all home will be a challenge in itself...

The warning bells of the nightly curfew ring across the city as a few people finish locking their doors for the night. Civilians are settling in for a late supper and preparing for work tomorrow. The cats are mewing outside, and don't seem to care too much about this issue. Too bad no one can really go out and stop them at this point.

For the Unawakened, however, the mewing seems to be causing extra painful headaches. Food doesn't look appetizing and they feel an urge to go to bed early. Despite the noise, sleep comes fast and a voice will echo in their heads.

...I am thou...thou art I...your chains will break away...perhaps soon...we shall see...
The strange foreboding voice of...something echos in their heads. It's the only thing they can hear now that their headache is gone and the city is fast asleep...even the cats seem silent. They are not sure why, but the voice makes them get up and grab their phone.

It's humming softly. The icon is glowing again. Time seems to stop. Looking outside they will notice there's no wind either. Is that even possible?

Pressing the button reveals another terms of agreement, but it looks quite different. It's almost...gentle?

It may take a while or it may happen in an instant, but you eventually take your finger and trace your name over the signature area to continue. You've gotten this far in any case and this one isn't trying to kill you...at least you think it isn't. Yet as your hand moves to write your name, it gets replaced with other letters. Another name that tells you nothing. Somehow you feel like you should know it, but it's...it's...

It stays there for a few more seconds, leaving you with your thoughts before the contract disappears.

You're back into that chatroom again. Questions pop up in rapid succession before you're even permitted to type anything else. Once more, it seems that you find yourself typing things that aren't matching up with what you really want to say.

At least...you think...

What is your name?
Write it here.

Do you think the future is unavoidable?
Yes | No

Do you consider yourself a bad person?
Yes | No | Oh Hells Yeah I'm Bad.

Have you ever killed someone/something?
Yes | No | Yes, but (insert your reason here)

Did you enjoy it?
Yes | No | It's complicated (but yes) | It's complicated (but no) | It's just complicated

Now share one or two of your darkest secrets with the rest of the group! Two makes it more fun!
Write it down here.

With questions like that and nothing around you moving, you feel like it's going to be a very, very, very long night.

[OOC: The network posts will now allow users to post their names, but they will show up as their CANON ones. The user's persona can be added at the end, or not show up at all.

MEMORY REGAIN: Right before their answers are posted, they will also get a longer flash of someone calling them by this name. The memory HAS to be someone calling them by their name. It could be both a good or a bad memory, that is up to you.

FOR THE AWAKENED: Awakened will be able to answer the questions again if they want. They'll also find themselves in their fancy new outfits and will able to summon their weapons during this time. Sweet indeed. They'll also notice that the cats outside seem to be looking at them whenever they look outside. ]

Why wouldn't I believe you?

most people dont believe those actually exist

Most people don't believe in demons, either. But I'm not one of those people.

huh really? thats unusual

I've been called much worse.

But is it really so strange? People believe in aliens, ghosts, and gods, why not demons, too?

so have i man

also yeah i guess its just strange

im used to having to hide it

There are only two reasons for hiding what you are from other people.

Shame or self-preservation.

mine would be the latter

I think it was the same for me. Or for 'Kurama,' rather.

you remembered something about that?

Before, yes. Coupled with one of my answers above, it makes even more sense.

I escaped to the human world and was reborn after taking refuge inside a human woman's womb.

[...most would find it difficult even at this stage to accept that this life isn't their real one, and yet Kit doesn't seem to struggle much with the concept, referring to Kurama as if the youko and he were one and the same.

Then again, as Kurama, he's done this before. After a fashion.]

i have never heard of that happening

but that doesnt mean its impossible

idk maybe it's a your world thing only

I wouldn't be surprised if an incident such as that was isolated. In fact, I should hope it is. But the similarity to which I was referring was the desire for self-preservation.

After all, I am not ashamed of being a fox.
