0 Days Remain

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.

we're not going to die.

[Something in him puts conviction into that sentence. It doesn't make sense. He knows it doesn't. He sends it anyway.]

i didn't want to forget. the shoes, i mean.
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-05 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
....You seem really sure about that.

[Says the teenager who's been arguing for the very same idea against a few different people...]
probablynoteren: (why do only the profiles look good)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-05 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
i... [he hesitates, he knows he's afraid, but he's realizing that he doesn't know what he's afraid of -- is it death, or something else?] we can't. we'll find a way.
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-06 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
....We don't really have a choice in the end anyway. Just like usual.
probablynoteren: (logic comes after e7 tbh)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-06 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
our choice is in how. not whether we do it.

[At least that's what he believes. Maybe he's an optimist, maybe he's in denial, there are a lot of maybes. It's what he's going to work with.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-07 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
And a lot of people seem to have a lot of different ideas on 'how'....

[Shoutout to the molotovs.]
probablynoteren: (wild rare GOOD LIGHTING appeared)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-07 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Molotovs are always with you.]

we need as many ideas as we can get.

[Honestly it's not like they know how to defeat the damn things. He is not even ruling out having to throw his shoes at them by the end of the night.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-08 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Here's to hoping one of them sticks.

....And if nothing does, at least I've got my last meal figured out. Someone is bringing burgers.
probablynoteren: (#desaturated as fuck or smth)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-08 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... burgers?

[Somehow that's the last thing he expected to come up at this point, but fighting always makes him hungry so...]
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-10 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
He volunteered.
probablynoteren: (#desaturated as fuck or smth)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[That does not explain anything whatsoever.]

who? and burgers for a last meal...

[OK, that doesn't actually sound all that bad. Even if he isn't on board with the last meal thing.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-11 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Guts.

They're apparently really good burgers.
probablynoteren: (protag skill: never not looking confused)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-11 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't recognize the name, but then, there are a lot of them milling about in chat.]

i didn't think to bring food. it's late.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-12 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have anything in your kitchen?
probablynoteren: (wild rare GOOD LIGHTING appeared)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-12 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
i'd have to double back.

[He's at the school by now... The perils of being too on the ball.]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-14 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[holy shit]

Are you already there?
probablynoteren: (smth's rotten in the state of crapsack)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-14 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
i didn't want to be late.

[Master of understatement.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-15 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... I mean, you could try to see if anything on campus is open? I know there are a couple of student stores that sell snacks at the very least.
probablynoteren: (smth's rotten in the state of crapsack)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe later. after.

[He's not all that hungry at the moment, all things considered, but hey assuming they're still alive later that's when food will hit priority status.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-06-15 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
....Listen, just make sure you have energy for whatever happens, okay?
probablynoteren: (protag skill: never not looking confused)

[personal profile] probablynoteren 2017-06-16 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
that won't be a problem.

[Adrenaline is a wondrous invention, my man. The real question is whether any of them will ever get a full night's sleep again. Well.]

If you say so.
