applenet | COUNTDOWN: THE SMALL VOICE THAT RINGS OUT

Seven days remain. Or so it would seem. Somehow you might not still be convinced. This is all just a strange coincidence, but to go as far as to claim that you have other memories... can it?

But things have already been set alight inside the hearts of those chosen few who have received the app on their phones. For some, it's just the first bite of the apple. For others, it's been like shaking down an entire tree. Things are beginning to look... strange. Surely there are more burning questions on their minds by now.

The warning bells of the Nightly Curfew ring across the city. There's a faint hum from the phone this time before the icon appears. This time it displays a time: 1:00AM

The rest of the night is normal. Perhaps you've cuddled up with family, or you've gone to bed early to wait, but sure enough, time tick by right until 1 in the morning when...

You're back into that application again. A single question before you're even permitted to type anything else. And while it seems to be overwritten by something inside of you, it feels a lot more natural than before. Which is, truthfully... troubling.

WELCOME TO THE FINAL QUIZ!
Answer from the heart, the part of you that has been denied for far too long.

Do you want to remember?
Yes | Hell Yes| Definitely | Of course I do!

And yet, a tiny little font at the bottom. A bit hard to miss but if you hover your finger over it will answer for you...

No. Not yet...
Once you are done, you are tossed once more into the main chatroom. Now your user names are the names that you wrote down in the last survey, but with all those questions it's... hard not to think of them as your own. Maybe you'll be cursing at this device, but it looks like you're already deep down the rabbit hole by now.

[OOC: This is the final network post before Awakening. Users will now be able to speak of who they are in their AU life without the information being blocked by the application.

As a note! Characters who select "no" will not need to Awaken next week and will be able to delay to later. Instead, the character will be able to proceed with logs as a Pre-Awakened, be aware of certain issues happening in the city, however their memories will not be complete and they will be unable to fight back (apart from their own weapons). Note that they will be unable to use a Persona until they fully Awaken. There will be more details to follow, if you pick this option.

As always, while they will not get any new on their own, speaking with Luci might grant the Awakened more memories... be careful that they don't get more than they bargained for.]

i've always trusted you. but you don't have all the facts here. the two have nothing in common with each other.

And you have all the facts?

All of them?

for this part of it, yes.

Then tell me why the app presented the option to select "no" to Awakening.

because some people aren't ready. if your heart isn't strong then trying to awaken can be devastating.

You saw my answer, didn't you?

and the question. it's about whether you want to, not whether you can right now.

Have you ever seen the option to refuse Awakening presented before?

the people who awakened with me didn't even have the option to say yes.

I'll take that as a no.

But your answer tells me something else.

If the results at this stage vary so greatly, then perhaps there really is a way to Awaken early.

there were groups of people who tried to awaken long before us, you know. every one of them is gone now.

i don't think that the price for awakening early is something that a person can withstand.

I suppose we'll only know for certain if I can speak with Luci.

only if he decides to talk straight for once.

Only time will tell.

i'll fight to keep you from doing it if he tells you, you know. even if i have to hold you down for an entire week.

Please don't get in my way.

don't force me to, then.

I think we're done talking for now.

i guess so. you know how to get in contact if you need anything.

it's a promise, kit. i'd rather have you alive and hating me than the alternative.
