7 DAYS REMAIN

[cordibus]

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.]

Are our minds being actually altered by the application?

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

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

So then what? At the very least, I feel as though I am hidden from some important information to make sense of why I feel so divided lately.

[kokuyoyo]

We're getting the feelings and thoughts and life of someone else, whether real or fake.

That's probably why.

....Unless you mean "why is this happening", in which case look at the app you're using.

[draculabackwards]

So in around seven days, we'll know whether we have either someone else's memories or our own. This is going to be an agonizingly long week.

[kokuyoyo]

Or we'll be dead. I'm not discounting the "horror movie" theory.

[draculabackwards]

I hope it doesn't come to that. I'll have to find a weapon if that's the case.

[kokuyoyo]

Good luck with that. Let me know what you find. Someone I know wants me to be safe but doesn't want me to get myself hurt at the same time.

[draculabackwards]

That seems to a paradox in the making. If you're going to protect yourself, you have to be willing to get hurt while doing so.

self harm tw, just in case

[kokuyoyo]

Ideally, the person or thing hurting you isn't yourself, however.

[draculabackwards]

I suppose that would make it difficult to protect in that regard.

[kokuyoyo]

Right. So better to leave anything that has a high chance of accidentally hurting yourself to the side.

One day I'll learn knife fighting, but today isn't that day.

Can apps do that?

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

I don't know but after all these questions, I'm beginning to wonder.

Pharos ☸ Ronove

[seasonsofdeath]

From the way it's talking... it might be more that it's returning us to how it's supposed to be.

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

What that is exactly I do not know. We must brace ourselves for whatever happens.

Pharos, I think we can speak more freely now. I especially want you to be carefully because I suspect you are a young child. Is that correct?

Pharos ☸ Ronove

[seasonsofdeath]

I'm ten. [he's in double digits he's not a young child!!]

Alucard ⚔ Marchosias

[draculabackwards]

((OOC: So touchy! XD))

All right, not as young as I thought. Still, be careful with what's happening.

[ooc: he's totally a grown up! that's what being 10 means, right? :P]

I am.
