JULY 4 ~ 15, 2021
July starts off busy.
With Independence Day approaching, city residents have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming Sunday celebrations. Vitae has always been enthusiastic about the Fourth of July and has made it a city-wide celebration every year. Although it's warned that another heatwave will sweep through the city for the first two weeks of July, everyone still works hard to ensure that they have another memorial holiday.
It's time to unwind.

MISSION BOARD
- Bzzz. Bzzz.
It's your phone. It feels like a brick of ice when you pick it up, providing welcome relief from the heat. It shuts down completely, as usual, until new white words on a black background appear.
NEW MISSIONS HAVE BEEN ADDED.True to its message, three new tasks appear under the missions module.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY.

FOURTH OF JULY
- Despite the oppressive heat, it almost seems like everyone has gone out for the day. Many people hold barbeques or picnics in their backyards or parks, while others bars and restaurants offer day-long specials, such as free drinks or sides with meals. For those without cash or a barbeque of their own, the church provides free burgers and hotdogs to anyone who stops by their parking lot. Juice and pop are given as drinks, but occasionally, when no one is looking, the volunteer pulls out a bottle of beer from the very bottom of the ice-filled cooler. She gives a wink and puts her finger to her lips. Shhhh.
The beach also has its own free barbeque, though there is no hidden surprise of alcohol to be found. Only food and-- wait, a beach?
It first appeared in the early hours of the morning. A section of the forest has vanished at the city's very edge on the south side. In its place. a large beach is found. Although the waters stretch out as far as the eye can see, Vitae has always been a landlocked city. Where did it come from? Residents claim it's always been there, that the city built an urban beach years ago, before quickly changing the subject. It's Independence Day, man! What does it matter? Let's just have a good time!
Although packed, the beach provides enough room for everyone to find a spot and relax. The water is nice and cool and flocked with screaming kids as they splash each other. Apart from the beach's incredibly strange appearance and the concerning questions it raises, everything appears to be at peace.
Later that night, elaborate fireworks are launched in front of the city hall. Many people also light their own and with a fireworks vendor at every corner, there appears to be no end in sight. The sounds of explosions reverberate throughout the entire night and many people stay up to continue partying, celebrating as if this is the city's final Fourth of July.
DECISION TIME
- The following two weeks are quiet, everyone using up all of their energy for the Fourth of July. The city returns to normal and users of the app are left in peace.
Until the 15th.
YOU HAVE SELECTED [ALLY/BETRAY].A list appear below the message. It contains the names and photos of every person on the app. Until you select one, your phone will be unusable.
CHOOSE A USER.
Towards the end of the day, if you still have not chosen, it stays stuck to your hand and begins to slowly overheat with an ominous timer counting down from ten minutes. It will not be able to be removed, no matter how much force you use. It will only finally let go after you have chosen a name. A new message will appear after you've made your choice.
YOU HAVE SELECTED [NAME].
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER.
PLEASE WAIT PATIENTLY UNTIL THE NEXT UPDATE.

[There's a pause as he deliberates]
Do you have a car and/or are you good at moving furniture?
no subject
And if it's just moving furniture that should be simple for me. Every day I've been training at the gym.
no subject
I'm moving into an apartment, and I wouldn't mind getting some help getting some furniture moved in.
no subject
I'll pick up a rental vehicle and figure out what to do after.
no subject
[Read: really crappy]
Thank you, Nier!
> action
Give me thirty minutes or so.
[ Nier knows how to drive but it's not like he does it often. He prefers running or getting to places on foot. Heading to the place that Jun is moving into now!
There's a really ugly and cheap looking car out honking to the side.]
no subject
[He texted him the address in the meantime. It's next to a pretty shady looking nightclub, near a redlight part of the city center. Honestly, that ugly car is not out of place in a place like this.
Jun is waiting for him outside. He'll see Nier in the driver seat and wave]
Hey!
no subject
[ Nier tried dying his hair back to blond for the time being. He's tired of looking old because his hair is white. ]
What do you need help moving?
no subject
[It's not like he knows anything about cars other than they were expensive and they go places. Who needs to worry about driving when you can just teleport. ]
Well, there's some furniture someone was offering online for free! They put it on the curbside, we just need to pick it up.
no subject
[ suddenly this entire thing seems suspicious. Nier can't even hide the utter dismay he feels about this entire thing and it shows in his voice. WORRY]
You should get in the car then. Let's go pick it up.
no subject
[Getting enough money to get a place was challenging enough when he started with nothing. Furniture? Man it's expensive
But right! He gives a nod and gets into the front seat of the car.]
no subject
[ It's really stuffy inside the car interior. Sitting down in there might not be the most comfortable thing in the world. ]
Do you know how many trips we might have to take? I doubt it's possible to finish moving everything all in one go.
