COUNTDOWN: I SEE YOU
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.
But then something happens...

I SEE YOU.
What had just happened? Before you can think about it for too much, and as your heart beats faster, the screen returns to normal, and another message flashes.
Well shit. Lets try this again. Answer from the heart, the part of you that has been denied for far too long. DO IT QUICKLY!
Is your life here a lie?
Yes.
Sorry lambs, this time we can't kid around...
Is your life here a lie?
Yes.

Once you are done, you are tossed once more into the main chatroom. Is fear rising? Is your heart beating faster? There's a lot more at stake now it seems. Fortunately, 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.
And now...something's might be looking right back.
[OOC: This is one of the final network post before Awakening. ALL 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 speaking, Applenet might spazz out, like above. If this happens, a random painful memory will hit both Awakened and Unawakened (please warn if the visions are graphic for other players). They might find themselves writing down things afterwards regarding the memory (for example, getting shot, they might write down the pain they are felling, etc) and regretting it. This can happen up to 5 times per user.]

I have a feeling we'll find out.
[Technically true, and it's also true that Kidou honestly doesn't know a lot of what's going on, or why. But it's also a lie by misleading insinuation; he's got a much better idea than this person.]
cw: violence and murder and death
[The guy is standing there right in front of him. He knows that this isn't going to end well. He reaches into his pocket and flicks on the tape recorder.
'You know why I'm here.'
"And you know I can't really fight back."
The tengu laughs, taking out a knife. He doesn't need it, given his claws, but he knows that it's just in case police come around. He swallows, feeling his heart pound in his chest, and waits.
And the creature rushes forward, and he feels the knife plunge into his heart, and he cries out, gripping at the knife and trying to pull it out. He's scared, he's terrified, and all of his bravado is gone and he just wants... he just wants...]

has anyone tried turning it off and then on again?
Alucard ⚔ Marchosias
Ah, if it were only that easy. Although the blocks appear to be off for information, I would not share anything personal, given this new development.
