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...

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.]

It's just that I'm completely stressed out by all of this. The glitches, the question...
What is this app's true purpose anyway?
Ankh ☸ Andrealphus
This is nothing yet.
We'll know when the time comes. Unfortunately, we can't say just yet.

[Armand stops typing as he quickly feels another pain in his head. And just then, he is completely horrified at Lysandre's declaration to the world. Using the ultimate weapon to return this world into a natural, beautiful world?! He doesn't want to believe this. He wants answers. No, he needs to talk him out of this!]
Lysandre, what's the meaning of this?! What you're doing is genocide! Stop this nonsense this instant!
Ankh ☸ Andrealphus
[And he just stares at the screen on his phone until the typing resumes, even if it seems strange.]
Are you done?
Augustine Sycamore ⚔ Foras
I think so. But...
Did I wrote that?
Ankh ☸ Andrealphus
Augustine Sycamore ⚔ Foras
I understand.
But I still don't understand what I just wrote.
Ankh ☸ Andrealphus
Augustine Sycamore ⚔ Foras
I guess waiting should give me some answers then.
