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.]

What an odd question. Do I enjoy it...?

I mean, it's fun, I guess? To be able to solve a riddle that's presented to me. But this is real life, not someone's silly boardgame. We aren't toys to be played with.

And that still doesn't answer if my guess was close, either.

Hello, Morningstar. Interesting that you've chosen that name to give us information.

I am beginning to wonder about that. It's been such a confusing set of weeks lately. Especially with a program that lets others call themselves wolves and I cannot.

[He's so used to having that word be specifically blocked that it takes him a moment to realize it's not.]

Wait. Can you read that word?

Are our minds being actually altered by the application?

That is exactly how I answered. But perhaps it's not quite a lie, but that we've all been denied key information.

Do you feel like those memories we keep getting shown are yours or someone else's?

When you decide to bestow information upon us, and not through any questions we ask or actions we do of our own. At least, that's what it seems like so far.

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-05-28 03:13 pm (UTC)(link)
which would still be a little mundane for all this drama, but at least works better with the interactive campaign you got going here

With how many visions everyone seems to have had, I think it's a bit late to be asking that kind of question.

I wish I could deny it and live here peacefully but it is true...

[John stares at the answer for a bit, a sinking feeling in his chest. Ever since the fireworks he can't stop thinking about that girl, the one he danced with. The memory was actually pretty happy, so why is he so sad?]

7 days huh...if I sleep this week at all it will be a miracle.

Same answers again...what does it mean? What is going on that we AREN'T living peacefully somewhere else? Or am I the only one that feels that is what that answer implies...

If I was going to deny that they are mine, then that would mean that there is something worse happening, right?

And how is that an excuse? It's not something I can get out of.

.....I don't appreciate bird puns.
transient_specter: (you like it rough huh?)

[personal profile] transient_specter 2017-05-28 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. That's real reassuring. So you're just an internet troll, huh?
transient_specter: (holy shit that's cute)

[ First thought: God dammit, not again. She was trying to edit her next manuscript. What a pain in the ass.

Second thought: It's getting earlier. Three am, to two am, to one am, a torture put down each Saturday made to drive you further into accepting these weird hallucinations as reality.

The part of you that has been denied for far too long.

Is this thing trying to say those memories are her? Disgusting. Of course they're not-
]

Is your life here a lie?
Definitely.


[ No.

No.

NO!

Horror takes hold for a second, but only a second, before a pure anger rises up in its place. Feelings, reactions, she hasn't felt these in over twenty years - oh Thanisch, so eccentric, but at least she keeps to herself, just stuff her out of the way in some house and no one will notice - her life was already erased once and now this thing is saying it's going to happen again?! Maybe that's forgivable, maybe the school would get off her case for being so weird if she got arrested for being a Lovecraftian Abomination. Is that even illegal? That's fine-

But her Daughter has this app. Her Erica. A 'C'! Not a 'K'! Her Erica whose life she stayed out of because she was a grown woman capable of her own decisions, but also so Isabelle's bad life choices didn't touch her. So that this shit wouldn't happen.




It's not anger. It's fury. The keyboard practically snaps in half under her hands when she stands.
]

I can appreciate what this application is trying to accomplish or at least what it -thinks- it's trying to but I shall be an annoyance. I'll continue to be be myself until the last minute.

even if these memories are false, how am I supposed to look at at my friends in the eyes if i backed down at something this pathetic!! don't underestimate me! you're saying that isabelle thanisch is some fake to be replaced with a God?? that my daughter is a MURDERER??? that's bullshit! if you want to replace us so badly then just come and try it!! i'll rip your fucking heart out!!!!


[ She needs a weapon. Attic, attic, there's a Winchester somewhere. She is getting it and then sitting at her front door for the next Eternity and shooting anyone who even comes close. Let's see how they enjoy ~blooming hearts~ then. ]
transient_specter: (okay that hurts)

[personal profile] transient_specter 2017-05-28 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I am being careful. That's why I don't trust them.

[He closes his eyes and sighs.]

It said only a week left. So that means next Saturday night. ... Why don't you come over next Saturday evening? Just in case.

[... And it'll help him feel a little better, too.]

Maybe. It'd have to be - a lot of people can't seem to see the app.
