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...

WƎ☹C!ERROR!OMƎ ▒ O ▒ HƎ FIN⟡☹ QUIZ!!ERROR!!ERROR!

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.]

The app is messing up. When it did I had a really intense memory and then I typed that phrase without thinking. Like when you answer the questions before and couldn't help it.

That stopped happening to me since I already answered the questions before...but I guess now things are different.

Somehow it's even worse the second time...

[Probably because he knew what happened after that memory now. He had all the pieces, it was just like the memory made itself super real and he almost felt the pain from it all over again.

Mostly, though, he was worried about what this meant]

ill take your word for it it sounds !ERROR! w▒Ǝ☹☹

[It's been years and years since he's seen them. He knows where they were originally, but the war had been hard. He knows that everyone in the area had been moved, but what he hadn't expected was what had happened when he'd headed into a Japanese American society's office and asked if they had information on where they'd been sent after the war.

"You... you can't be serious."
'I'm... I'm sorry. Were they close family of yours?'
"... Cousins." A lie, but close enough to give his reaction justification. "Could you... write down the information you have? Please?"

He clutches the small piece of paper, listing their names - both died in 1944, only a few weeks apart from each other. Location of death - Camp Manzanar, Inyo County, California.

its not fair they didnt even get to see the end of the war they were good people

It happened to you now, too?

....

Was it really bad?
hachitaro: (danger.)

[It takes him a minute to respond, because... he's crying. And he doesn't know why.]

[Jaune feels awful. He could tell him, but that might be a bit too much. He probably won't believe him and after everything else...maybe now isn't the time.]

There's not usually a pattern...a rhyme or reason for them.

It'll make more sense in a few days though. I know that's not a lot of comfort--but anything else I try to explain isn't going to be much help.

I'm sorry.
hachitaro: (oof!)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-04 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
it doesnt make sense

it hurts

but its too early/late to call them now
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-04 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't say I know...but I have some idea.

Who do you plan on calling?
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-05 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure their okay. But I hope it makes you feel better...at least when it's a better time to call
hachitaro: (unsure.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-05 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
why does this hurt so much
sociallyarcward: (Default)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-05 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
It's complicated. But I think in part it's to give you a taste of what's coming.

[That sounds bad...uh...]

You aren't alone though, okay? You'll find that out soon enough.
hachitaro: (tch.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-06 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
can it be over yet
sociallyarcward: (Usually Lost)

[personal profile] sociallyarcward 2017-07-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
you have a week...but there probably won't be much happening in the days leading up to next weekend.

except with the app messing up...that might be optimistic.
hachitaro: (uh oh.)

[personal profile] hachitaro 2017-07-06 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
