0 Days Remain

[lightmischief]

After the vision, and realizing that they still have an hour before the curfew, a message shows up on their program...

Luci: Finally! Human minds can be so fragile...

Luci: You saw it, right? What do you think?

Luci: Does it make you angry or terrified?

Luci: I don't really care but if you answered yes to either of those, good!

Luci: I've got presents for you, lambs.

Luci: Once an apple falls from the tree, it's hard to stop gravity.

Luci: They will try.

Luci: Already a few of you didn't make it.

Luci: But you are all stronger than you look! Amazing, I know.

Luci: SO LISTEN UP! See that dot on the map?



Luci: No? Maybe arrows will help?



That's where you saw that vision.

Luci: It's just about twenty minutes away from the central part of Green Valley's fancy-ass school. You know the 'World Famous' apple orchards out in the back? The very first subway station?

Luci: If you want to know more about what you saw and any other questions that might be burning in your mind, I suggest you hop into the underground city subway and wait until midnight strikes then sneak out to it. Don't think the city will care for less than fifty people going there anyway. Staying after darkness is normal anyway, right?

Luci: When we get there, you'll get a brand new message.

Eikichi Mishina ⚔ Beleth

[bossed]

[ he was just as shaken, if not more so, as haruka. only takamoto doesn't have the same strange instinct to fall back on, just a sense of a need to act, a need to listen to that voice that spoke directly to him, to not just stand by and let things unfold.

but would he have the courage to back those thoughts up? ]

we should be careful though shouldn't we??

what if this is another fucked up trick?? another lie?

[ because if he accepts this as the truth, then he can no longer deny the other things the app had shown him as truth, as well. ]

[probablynoteren]

[It's an instinct, as well as a pull, something that shouldn't exist but that is moving him before he can think; Haruka isn't the one listening to it. Haruka can't help but listen to it. It wants what he wants: to never have to see that vision again, if he can help it. He has to help it.]

if it's a lie, then we've snuck out for nothing.

if it's not...

[He doesn't finish that sentence. Probably because he doesn't need to, and it's not a consideration for him at this point.]

[bossed]

[ no, he really doesn't need to finish it. takamoto already knows. ]

you're... you're right.

i guess there's really nothing to lose, is there?

but i still think we should be careful. we're gonna be out past curfew and yknow...

[probablynoteren]

what i have to lose doesn't matter here.

[It doesn't matter as much, is what he means, because he knows in a distant way that Beleth is right: they still have things to lose if they even do something so simple as break a curfew. But it's nothing he hasn't done before. Technically. Just with a few exciting new elements.]

there will be weapons.

[Because that's probably the most straightforward way to be careful, after all.]
