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: It depends what type of puppet

Luci: Some of them have hands up their ass

Luci: I get some enjoyment out of this before the countdown ends

Luci: Amusement is very important to me

Luci: Maybe. Maybe not.

Luci: The rest is up to you to think about, really.

Some of them, thankfully, are _not_ childish sock puppets and are instead controlled via strings. I think there are some that are technically wind up dolls? I'm not sure.

Wait, why am I arguing about puppets.

Won't you be able to cheerfully mock us after the countdown ends, too? Unless it'll remove the app when it's finished. But I doubt we're _that_ lucky. But something about that would imply that you _can't_, so...


[ Wait. Didn't the Terms of Service warn about 'no responsibility in cases of harm or death', or something like that? ] You're expecting us to be incapacitated somehow. Or otherwise unable to talk to you. Am I right?

Well... what kind of a age range are you thinking? My brother's more than two or three years older than me.

[Around the same age... but what would be the cutoff?]

It doesn't make sense to think they *aren't*, in my opinion.

exactly

something not super traumatic, thanks


[Just...going to try not to think of that first memory he got back because wow he had a terrible feeling that everything had gone down the shitter in that memory of fighting the guy in the black and white armor...]

could try

but would they talk to me is another very important question that I don't have the answer for
draculabackwards: (uhhh)

[personal profile] draculabackwards 2017-06-03 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm uncertain. But something of this magnitude speaks toward someone in involved in governing the city, would it not?

I could not even begin to wager a guess on that. Or maybe these questions are posed in such a way to make it easy to doubt yourself.

I don't know, showing up mostly to mess with us sounds like a troll to me.

You said straight answers weren't tour style so I thought you might give me a cryptic non-answer.

Are the app and the hallucinations connected?

Would you stop -

[ His fingers slip as the memory hits - He stood in front of the other Greeed as his outer armor shattered, the forces that made them unable to hold onto the energy required to keep it in place. Medals clicked in his hand as he raised them to the light, the glow of yellow and green so much better with these borrowed senses, almost better then the satisfaction of seeing Uva stumble as he weakened. ]

What are you doing to me?

I am not a furry.

I rather be me.

I know it's a weird thing to remember.

I wasn't the only one in that vision either, but I don't remember his name just that he was using my wings or something? idek
onlythankyou: (But at arm's length)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-06-03 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Monsters? [That's new.] Did they look like any particular kind of monsters, like vampires or harpies?

[That's already more fantastical than Lonán's robots and jetpacks.]
onlythankyou: (A coward who paints)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-06-03 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
The visions don't help. One of mine seemed extremely confused about who it wanted me to be.

I'd say don't let it. Then it wins.
onlythankyou: (It's him who said)

[personal profile] onlythankyou 2017-06-03 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Of somehow the app is right and all of this is a lie or hologram or whatever - you, me, and Rommy are not. The app wouldn't be telling us that if we weren't, right?

Not really the spring we planned for, huh?


[This is still pretty uncomfortable. The two of them have a new layer of relationship to navigate, and it's oddly murky. Maybe because it took this long. Maybe because Lonán obviously isn't as close to Haruka as his twin.

But there's no reason not to try and break up the tension a bit. His own nerves are pretty frazzled, but he doesn't need to share that. Or show it.]

Mine would have been so much cooler if I'd been the one with the jetpack and robot entourage.

[Humor, to some degree. Humor is good.]

You do have a point. Whatever these things are can't erase what we have here in this city.
