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.]

Before.... I would have said it might be possible to stop whatever this is. It wouldn't have been easy, getting rid of all the technology in our lives, but it could be possible.

But... the last vision I got wasn't while I was doing anything with the app at all. I was, right then at least, technology free.

Maybe we're too far gone, for whatever this is.

There's no reason for us to be getting these headaches and visions either especially away from the app but here we are.

[And a second later-]

Sorry.

That's putting it simply.

I'm not sure if I'm scared or not. But I'm ready for this to be over.


[Last time this happened, he'd admitted that he wasn't scared. But now... he's not sure anymore.]

You got one at the Flower Festival, too, I'm assuming? This just keeps getting worse.

... Ah, I can mention that now? Why _now_?

I can't accept that it's too late. I won't. There has to be _something_ we can do to reverse this.

None of this makes sense.

And you don't have to apologize. ... My place or yours?

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


[He's come to expect this to happen to his Saturdays, and what does that say about this app that it can bust into his routine like that while completely cutting off any kind of ties to his offline life? Haruka spends a lot longer just staring at this question -- did he type it? Does he agree with it? He remembers moving his fingers this time, with crystal clarity and purpose. His head feels a little foggy still, but that may be from sleep.

Some part of him has answered the question, but it feels much more like the question itself was his answer.]

i remember answering this time. but it doesn't feel like an answer.

does this mean they were memories after all?

If it were something put in the air, there'd be more symptoms reported.

Why us?

[personal profile] transient_specter 2017-05-28 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Fine.

[Give him a few minutes to pull up the website...]

They're all delayed. Backups from the Flower Festival, I'm guessing.

Luci: Of course I do.

Luci: But too much knowledge right away is bad for the mind, you know?

Luci: It'll fight back.

Luci: Then maybe you might die, who knows.

Luci: Not very useful for me.

[ Romulus doesn't think, doesn't even hesitate as a wave of rage washes over him and, with a snarl, he throws his phone.

He'd been aiming for the his bed, but anger has always made his aim worse, so instead it hits the metal bedpost with a loud cracking noise

[ It takes him less than a second to realize what he's done, the phone landing face up, a large crack shattering the screen.

Shit.

Rommy sneaks a glance at Lonny, hesitant to see his twin's reaction to his minor tantrum

That's the problem, though. I'm not sure. I just have this... gut feeling. You know?
beastfang: (have to think on that)

[personal profile] beastfang 2017-05-28 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yet too much knowledge can be twice as deadly.

What exactly do you get out of making everyone who answers you feel like they must doubt what they believe?

what is your part? someone said that you could be lucifer. the morningstar.

[It's not quite a question, because it all fits together too well. But he wanted to check, because if Luci is coming to them voluntarily and 'playing his part', then that means that he may be here to give them more than they've been given previously. There's an opportunity.

He doesn't hesitate before answering this time.]

i haven't needed to leave. i've had things to do here. are you saying that i can't leave right now?

You'd think, wouldn't you...? *She* knows. But she won't share, at least, not yet.
