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.

Huh? Why can't I just go in my shorts?
no subject
[ what word does he even use here ]
no subject
Yeah, he can see what he's getting at. Not this shit again. He sighs]
Judai, I'm a boy.

no subject
--what?!
no subject
I'm male.
no subject
[ ... he's still in shock so ]
no subject
Well, I was assigned it at birth because I have parts traditionally associated with males, and I've been too busy with other things to thoroughly assess if it's the correct gender for me.
[Because sure he's definitely wondered about that, but he's been a little preoccupied with things like gaining a personality and a sense of individuality! Gender can come later!]
So, for now, I'm male.
1/2
no subject
Aaahhhhhhhhh, I totally thought you were a girl! And that's why you asked about that date!
[ He had another case of mistaken gender and that case turned into the girl-who-disguised-as-a-boy growing a crush on him that he completely did not want. ]
no subject
[Poor poor stupid Judai. Jun feels slightly bad, but not really.]
Something like that. You're not the first guy to ask me out while thinking I'm a girl.
Don't worry, you're off the hook.
no subject
Off the hook for what?
no subject
[Not that Jun had intended to carry through with it even BEFORE this gender confusion reveal]
no subject
[ God, he's going to drown if he goes swimming right now. He is so flabbergasted. ]
I don't care if you're a boy and wanted a date. I just thought that girls are really into that kind of stuff and usually bring it up...
[ Guys have actually asked Judai out before, but he was too dense to properly understand. He only understood Rei's because she had absolutely no shame. ]
A girl I knew kept asking about me about it even though I wasn't interested...
no subject
Judai, I hate to tell you, but I brought it up because half of the things you say sound flirty.
That might be why.
no subject
[ ????????????? ]

[ Jun needs to lower his current thoughts on Judai's intelligence by like....... ten times. ]
I was just there because of Duel Monsters!
no subject
Sure, but it's considered one of the most romantic cities in the world! Loves from all over travel there!
no subject
[ He didn't even know about Latin so... ]
I meant, like, that's where I was last at and since you know Latin, I thought you could show me around.
no subject
[He'll smile]
Don't worry about it too much. We're supposed to be swimming right?
no subject
[ This whole situation is honestly kind of embarrassing, so he'll fumble a bit but he'll jump back as soon as he's in the water. It'll cool him down so with that!! he takes off!! his shirt and kicks off his shoes. The helmet is placed on the seat with the shirt over it. ]
We can just leave our stuff here. Winged Kuriboh will watch it.
no subject
Alright! Thanks Winged Kuriboh.
[He'll kick off his shoes and pull off his own shirt. Sure enough, he's flat chested like a boy. He's also got a waterproof bandage on his upper right arm- not that he's going to draw any attention to it. He'll set his shirt and shoes next to Judai's]
Ready!
no subject
Okay, let's go!
[ And he just fucking takes off like the tasmanian devil because he is very excited for the water but also he's going just to run away from his embarrassment. Jun can't see his face if he dives... but he won't go that deep yet since he doesn't know how good of a swimmer Jun is. He'll stop once they hit waist-level. Most people might slowly go in and get used to the water, but nah, Judai isn't affected. He's a water boy at heart. ]
Ahh, this is the best!
[ how are you doing jun ]
