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.
Sorry lambs, this time we can't kid around...
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.]

[But he understands there's something not quite right going on. Enough to take the warning for what it was, though now he can't help but be worried.]
Will something bad happen if we say too much?

Luci is attempting to solve the situation on their end. Until then to be safe it's best to only use this app for minor things and not say anything that could lead back to you outside of the app.
A place has been suggested if you are curious about what can be spoken of outside of here.
[And the more of the new ones that wander by the more likely they'll be able to be identified when things reach the finale of this countdown.]
no subject
Especially if it's not safe!
... But does that mean asking questions isn't safe either?
[also. hold on.]
Σ(°ロ°)
Wait, there is?
[THERE'S A FRIEND HANGOUT SPOT AND NO ONE TOLD HIM?!]

It was mentioned earlier as well as a place that sells a lot of items without any questions to those that buy them. Lazer's Pawn is someplace you should visit at least once.
no subject
In that case, I'll just save my questions for the people I meet off the app. I don't want to put anyone at risk, especially if they'd rather not talk on here. So I'll see if I can find it.
And I think I've heard about that place! Next time I have some free time I'll check it out. It'll be fun to see what kind of stuff they have, since I don't normally go to places like that.

If you're smart, you'd have picked up on the "game".
no subject
Got it.
[He's not sure what that meant, or why there's a countdown, but since it was coming from Chikusa, he didn't have any reason not to trust it. That and he didn't want to do anything that would risk hurting the people he's connected with on here, so going with the flow seemed like the best idea.
Also wow, yo-yo. Don't use Yamamoto's terminology against him.]... The one with the sheep?
no subject
Listen, this time it's an actual game, not just life or death circumstances that you think are a game!!! Okay maybe a little.]That might be it or it might not be. If you think that's what it is, go ahead.
[aka Chikusa will say nothing outright on a compromised app.]
no subject
When has there ever been a game they've played that didn't involve life and death circumstances, tho. Especially with Reborn around.]Okay, okay. I'll just go with my gut feeling then and figure it out.
Even if riddles aren't something I'm good at.
But as long as I don't give up then I can't lose!
no subject
Don't ask him, Yamamoto, he doesn't know your life]I guess you're still the same as ever then. At least it's useful.

5: b). Everything is enternally broken on this hell app.
5: This is just...a little more broken then normal...
no subject
80: I forgot.
80: But someone's fixing it, right?
80: And at least we can all still chat!
80: It'd be worse if something bad happened and we couldn't communicate, right?
no subject
5: I have no idea if this is getting fixed or not. The mods an asshole.
5: Words fail me at the very thought of being unable to converse with any of you for an extended period of time. I might even shed a tear.
