COUNTDOWN: I SEE YOU

Seven days remain.

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...

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.]

yeah, pretty much, if the quantified shit description I was given is any indication
possedere: (no fucks given)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-02 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I wasn't sure how seriously to take it, since both parties seem to have a flair for dramatics.

[Said the pot to the kettle.]

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-03 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
seriously enough, there are massive levels of shit at play here
possedere: (sigh)

And just when I just got rid of my janitorial force and septic tank.

there's bleach, a mop, and a pair of gloves in the supply closet

the gloves may even have been replaced sometime in the last year
possedere: (kufufufu no)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-04 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
My, my so generous. Are you also willing to lend a helping hand or only the equipment?
truthkills: (talking)

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-04 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid not, got several other very pressing matters to attend to
possedere: (bored | uninterested)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-05 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
More so than the safety of all of us?
truthkills: (i got a transformation trinket)

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-05 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
other super secret classified safety matters

seriously

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Secrets don't make good friends.

[Still, if this was who he thought it might be...]

Can I help?
truthkills: (shades closeup)

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-07 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Secrets keep people alive.

[Wow, broke out the proper punctuation for that statement.]

depends on what kind of help
possedere: (thoughtful | fighting)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-07 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He is honored.]

So you agree with how Luci is going about this then?

Whatever is within my ability. I'd prefer to stay alive too, after all.

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-07 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
can't say I like it but I get where they're coming from, let's put it that way
possedere: (no fucks given)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-08 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll wait then for the proof Luci says is coming. I'm not so sure it will be very convincing.
truthkills: (shades closeup)

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-10 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather unconvincing than lethal but I'm pretty sure it's gonna skew more towards the lethal end of things
possedere: (sigh)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-10 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing is more convincing than having someone try to murder you to get you to conform, I suppose.

Death is a powerful motivator

have died, cannot recommend
possedere: (interested | plotting)

[personal profile] possedere 2017-07-12 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
How did it happen?
truthkills: (lean)

[personal profile] truthkills 2017-07-14 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
my HP ran out
