I need a break from talking about this app.

Let's talk about another app. Specifically mystikoi. Who else got it?

Has anyone figured out a way to fend off the birds? Fun fact: if you get enough points to buy the scarecrow, it'll steal your koi in the night.

Don't buy the scarecrow. (个_个)

So what's your top score so far? What did you name your fish?

[OOC: while this is a reference to Magikarp Jump, just consider it a mashup of fish games. Collecting koi patterns, feeding, fending off predators apparently, minigames, breeding, etc.]

Likely many of us have at least attempted to look up the meaning behind the names we were first given when this app showed up. Some of us likely looked up the meaning of names from those we had struck up conversations with.

I was no exception and after verifying from what little resource is available I've resigned myself to the puns and jokes that will appear once the meaning of Marchosias is known by most of us on here, doubly so in regards to such due to the fact it seems those bearing this name are the most numerous here.

And to pull the metaphorical band aide off this as quickly as possible.



Marchosias apparently is some entity that some new age circles call to for help with loyalty, and is mostly depicted as a winged wolf.

Please deposit your jokes and puns here so it's out of your systems before the suppose reveal of information happening in five days.



[If anyone was walking about or also using one of the many outdoor tables on the lawns of Green Valley. You may have stumbled upon Christopher gently face planting in resignation on the tabletop he's currently sitting at, before he types rapidly on his phone. Mere moments after the applenet app buzzes with this new post. You may also notice an occult magazine open near said boy's elbow opened to a small article about said entity and some hyper stylized wolf with angel wings dominating the page next to it.]

Marchosias: 29: ice cream
Marchosias: 29: [INFORMATION LOCKED]
Marchosias: 29: midnight
Marchosias: 29: be there




[ Unfortunately for anyone who either don't know who Marchosias is, don't believe him, or just happens to be in the halls of the dorms- he's keeping his word.

At midnight, on the dot, Romulus Knightley is leading a mission to the dorm's kitchens to raid for ice cream, stopping to attempt to draft anyone he catches out in the halls.

Nineteen days left, if I’m not mistaken. The chat has been active enough I haven’t read over everything, but in the interest of information, I’ll list out what I know. Please tell me if your experience differs from anything on the following list - these are not facts, just observations.

1. The Terms of Service are vague, nonsensical, and gave no way out. They read like something that exists because it has to, not because anyone cares that it exists. They reference night shifts and death.
2. The app cannot be deleted, erased, or removed, nor can it be found on your phone company’s app store. No mention is made of it anywhere online.
3. The app will follow you to any device. Computers, tablets, new phones, and so on; they all display it. I’ve picked up several burner phones, all of which had it. I also found it on my graphing calculator today.
4. The app knows your personal information, somehow, even on burner phones where you’ve left no personal information. It also doesn’t operate on a list of buzzwords. For example, I can say my name is Blinky or my name is Bob, but if I try to say my name is [INFORMATION LOCKED], it does...well. That.
5. The app refuses to be seen by anyone else. Trying to show it to others makes it disappear completely.
6. Trying to tell someone about the app via email brings up the same information lock, and then the app itself opens up to yell at you.
7. The app refuses to be ignored. Trying only causes it to force your attention. In my case, the app grew on the homescreen to twice the size an app should take. I don’t doubt it would have kept growing, had I not accidentally tapped it when I did.
8. The app does not register on the data management screen, despite its obvious network use.
9. No user downloaded the app of their own volition. It simply appeared out of nowhere, already on each affected phone.
10. No user picked their own username. Several of them are repeated, and all have either swords or a ship’s wheel attached. The wheel is much rarer. All usernames appear to be demons. There is no indication what meaning the swords and wheels have yet.
11. All users suffered an intense headache upon first using the app. This was accompanied by a few seconds of blanking out and experiencing some hallucination or daydream.
12. No user selected their own answer to the morality question. The answers chosen were not what the user would have chosen.
13. All users live somewhere with a strict curfew, where nighttime is dangerous. This suggests all users live in a small geographic vicinity. Specifically, Eddan.

Again, these are not necessarily facts, just what I’ve gathered. If you have anything to add, please do so.

[ She'd been ignoring her new phone for most of the day. It was petty, but she considered it Schrodinger's Device - so long as she refuses to unlock it, there's an equal chance that her phone both will and won't have that mysterious nightmare attached to it.

Or. That was the plan. Except after dinner the damn thing practically burned a hole in her pocket from the screen being on too long - and lo and behold, there it was.

Might as well warn anyone else who cares. Maybe it'll hit the people she talked to.

So. For anyone who was wondering, let me save you 4000 macca and a whole lot of effort.

Don't replace your phone. This... disaster of an application just comes back, immediately, and starts acting up again. It seemed to already know my screen name too - I didn't enter it myself, or re-answer the questions.

Be careful. Something weird is going on.

This has been a public safety announcement from your local (nice) Baalberith.

PS: Don't listen to the other one of 'me'. Save yourselves.

10: I'm sure everyone has noticed the name problem with this app. This can only become more confusing as time goes on. I have a proposed solution: We all select a number, or some other identifier to sign our posts with. It's only important to not share the same identifier that someone with your username also has. I have picked 10 for mine. While we couldn't select a username here, there is nothing stopping us from making our own despite this app's limitations.

Guys, what do you think? Will this work?

[ so uh

it's one day after getting the app, and mako did what he said he would: he took his phone over to an IT guy to get it checked, only to be met with a strange look.

"I don't know what app you're talking about."

needless to say, mako is frustrated as hell. (yoshio and minako may notice him pacing the floor angrily at home.) but he said he'd keep everyone posted, so...here it is. a psa utilizing some of the fancy features the app has to offer. ]

hey guys.

so...i took my phone to an IT guy as i told some of you yesterday to see if he could remove the app.
he told me he didn't know what i was talking about? to him, my phone looked completely fine.
so i tried to pull up the app but it shut down and disappeared. completely.

yeah. don't ask me how that happened because i have no idea either.

they weren't lying when they said that this app was private.
