7 DAYS REMAIN

Seven days remain. As the last day of the festival draws to a close, the only thing of interest to note for the week is how great everything has gone. Not a single attack has been reported...

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.


Is your life here a lie?
Yes | Definitely | Sure | I've had my doubts before, but yes | Hell Yes | There is no other conclusion | I wish I could deny it and live here peacefully but it's true.

Thank you...that will be all. Let us see what your heart blooms into...

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.

Additionally, 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.]

Luci: So both statements are true. Yet false.

Considering when it did happen we had several questions many with very complicated choices, compared to this seemingly simple answer.
It makes more sense why it would happen then and not now if it is connected to this app.



Not that it hasn't done anything to make one think they aren't connected, but nothing has really been said either way.

Is your life here a lie?
Yes.


[This time he knows he typed it, and he feels like maybe it really does mean something, but he still doesn't understand what or why.]

What does that mean? Is that saying the life the app seems to have been trying to make me remember is fake, or my normal life?

[Intuitively, he knows the answer to that question, but he's trying to talk himself out of it.]

I have a family. And friends. That has to be real.

[Though as certain as that might sound, he logs off directly afterward. It might take him a while to respond.]

Is your life here a lie?
There is no other conclusion.


[For once, the answer came easily. Miss Leigh's life had been a lie from the moment it started, crafted by a lonely boy who never quite fit in, who harbored an impossible love for someone who never even looked at him in that way. Maybe, if he became a beautiful woman... maybe his peers would like him, maybe he would love him.

If Miss Leigh was a lie created by Morgan, it would stand to reason that Morgan could be a lie concocted by someone... or something... else.]

What is life, if not a lie? We all play our assigned roles as best we can, hiding what society would deem unacceptable.

Perfect little actors on the stage of the world?

[Ren's awake. Mostly. He had expected another round of questions, another flash of memory, and another headache. But so far, only the first of those things has come to pass. He squints at Akira's screen, reading the text he wrote, brows furrowing. It's the last sentence he doesn't understand. Some of Akira's answers have been... strange, but— ]

Why would you write something like that?

Is your life here a lie?
I wish I could deny it and live here peacefully, but it's true.

[ Strange. Ren remembers writing the answer, somehow torn between the one he had chosen and another. ]

Fine. If it's true, how do they intend to prove it? More memories?

I haven't had any reason to try yet.

[Where would he even go, anyway? It's not like he can go home at this point...]

But now you'll probably have a bunch of people trying it.

I take it you're VRR HR?

Hallucinations that gave us alternate names, which the app immediately picked up on.

we have to, i think.

[They can't run away from this. But they can stand against it together, and that's something (something that Focalor and Rhine have talked about, in different ways, but for now he lets it be simple).]

i'm going to find a way out of this city tomorrow. it may come from luci, but i want to see for myself.

[Implicit in that is the invitation: he's willing to share what he finds, or Michi can come see for himself.]

Testing purposes. One's with a different carrier, one is from another shop.

[Go thorough or go home, basically. He'd ducked into another shop quickly for the third phone, just grabbed whatever he saw first. It's only for testing.]

I want to go.

Is your life here a lie?
I've had my doubts before, but yes


[Rei is really, really not liking the implications of this. And if it's anything like what he saw at the flower festival, he's not sure he wants to see what his heart's allegedly going to bloom into, either.]

This is certainly not foreboding in any way whatsoever

Ah... [He doesn't like remembering it. It was so uncomfortable, so torn...] A lot. It was longer than the first. And there were a lot of people.

Some man with sunglasses and a small mustache said..something about the end of the world and escaped on a jetpack and took a bunch of robots with him, I set three people after him....but there were copies, or something, of them there watching, along with another woman. I think there was a dead body, too? I stumbled...the group - the guy I was strangling in the first one was with them, I think two others were, too - they were yelling at...'Jun' to open his eyes. I was confused, and scared and...lost. Like I had no idea who I was.

And then this...bone-chilling voice of something, from somewhere, told me I was Joker and urged me to kill. The others might've been shouting at me not to listen to it, I don't know, but...I listened to it. Joker, or me, or Jun, or whoever it was....wanted to kill, and didn't really care about who.

[Describing it now, it sounds utterly absurd. He knows that on an intellectual level. But the memory of it still comes with apprehension and visceral fear. The confusion, the identity crisis, they lingered on after it was over. That's what had him so badly shaken.]

You think there's something we don't know?

I refuse to believe that Romulus isn't my brother, that's just absurd.

I feel like you meant that as a joke, but given how logically absurd mine was, I'm inclined to believe it.

I can't imagine what kind of budget something like this must have to begin with, though.


[What's a pricetag, he's rich.]

That's not comforting.

I'm not buying whatever it's selling. Even if I could be fooled, my brother's been by my side my entire life. They'd have to be tricking both of us; there's very little we've experienced separately.


[Rommy is his brother. Nothing and no one will take that from him.]

yes

They're all variations of 'yes'. And as much as I refuse to believe it, this time it almost felt like it came from me.

I really don't like the implications.

That

has been among my theories for a while.

Considering my answer tonight was as bullshit as the rest, and yet almost felt right, it feels more like that than ever.

i don't want to believe any of this shit but...
