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.

Nakigitsune ⚔ Camio

[He wakes up with a start, staring dazedly up at the ceiling, unsure for a moment whether he's awake or still in a dream (or if he was dreaming to begin with, for that matter). It takes a minute or two for him to notice his phone, barely skimming the message posted on it, eyes narrowing in concentration as he stares at the flashing red arrows on the map.

A destination. A goal. An end? Is sneaking out this late a good idea? Does he care? He's gone a few feet from his room before realizing he probably shouldn't be going empty-handed into the darkness of night towards a suspicious place with the possibility of nightmarish violence, and turns back to try to dig up something in his closet. It's not 'til he's outside that Natsume finally types in an answer on his phone.

...His movements are strangely calm, despite the nervous jumble that is his thoughts.]

i don't know what i'm going to find there [or whether he'll survive the encounter] but i need to find out

As much as that freaked me out?
I need to find out, too.

[And after a few moments' pause]

need anything to defend yourself with?

[foxhands]

i

i can probably manage

[summerorange]

Why not? If nothing else, I can get photographic proof of whatever's really going on.

[foxhands]

that's a good plan
if you get photos of this you could let others know
