introduction log.
JUNE 1, 2021
The first day of summer - it’s unbearably hot. Temperatures are high and relentless, and without a single cloud in the sky, the sun blazes down heavily on the unlucky few stuck outside.
Weather predictions warn of an intense heatwave that’ll last all week long. The young and elderly are advised to stay indoors and hydrated, and anyone with the symptoms of a heat stroke is urged to head straight to the city hospital. Schools are temporarily closed until new air conditioners can be installed, and businesses come to a slow grind as many call out sick from heat exhaustion.
The city warns that it’s going to be a long seven days.

NEWCOMERS
- You wake up.
You’re left to your own devices. You have a vague memory of the last few moments of your time back in your world, in familiar surroundings, but you’re now somewhere new. Whether you’ve awoken on an unknown rooftop, in a stranger’s bedroom, behind cell bars, or under six feet of water - you know that you’re no longer at home.
You’re on your own for the time being. You must escape whatever predicament that you’ve found yourself in and find answers to your own questions. What brings you here? How did you arrive? What happened to your friends and family? You have an hour to explore and speak with the people of this world before your time runs out.
Something then vibrates in your pocket.
RESIDENTS & NEWCOMERS
- Your phone vibrates.
It buzzes incessantly until you pick it up, but when you look at the screen, it’s blank. It will not turn on, no matter how hard you press the buttons. It’s possible that it overheated and shut down, but it’s unusually cold to the touch, almost as if you’re touching a brick of ice. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, white text appears on a black background.
Decryption confirmed.The screen goes dark once more. Seconds later, new words are typed.
Condition green.
Booting program.
WELCOME TO [ AVA ]
→ MISSION 001
HEAD TO THE CITY CROSSWALK BY 1500. FIND THE [ OTHERS ]. YOUR REWARD WILL BE ANNOUNCED THEN. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.
WELCOME TO [ AVA ]
- You can't avoid the mission; you don't have any choice. Any attempt to ignore or avoid it is futile, as convenient coincidences occur all around you as a motivator to go.
Did you have work? For some inexplicable reason, your shift has been cancelled. Were you trying to get some rest? The fire alarm went off and you were evacuated from your home. Did you attempt to travel to another part of the city? The sidewalks and roads have been closed due to a sudden blackout.
No matter what you do, you are compelled to head to the city crosswalk.
For the middle of the afternoon, it's unusually quiet and empty. Despite the heat warning, there should still be more than just a handful of you and a few others, but you won't have the time to ponder about it. Your phone finally reboots and appears to be back to normal - or so it seems. You've got a new app.
[ AVA ]It's an icon with a white eye. It stares at you, and the screen remains frozen until you press it. It then starts the initialization process.
WELCOME TO [ AVA ]The text vanishes, revealing the app's interface. It's an online social media network with public forums and private messaging, but it's completely devoid of content. It currently only contains the user profiles of those who have signed up for the app, and you are one of them. Your full name, date of birth, personal address, height, weight, and a mugshot that you don't recall taking are all listed on your profile.
PEACEFUL DAYS ARE OVER
ALEA IACTA EST
You quickly discover that you have no way of deleting or even editing your information. You can't even get rid of the app. The option simply does not exist.
Minutes after opening [ AVA ], you receive a notification. There have been two new forum posts. MISSION 002 and MISSION 003 are the names of the new threads. You open them to read.
→ MISSION 002These threads allow you to leave comments. What do you do now?
NEWCOMERS, WELCOME TO VITAE. YOUR GOAL FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS IS TO SURVIVE. IF YOU ARE ALIVE TO SEE THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH, YOU WILL BE GREATLY REWARDED.
→ MISSION 003
RESIDENTS, BE AWARE OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THIS CITY. ONLY TRUST THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW. YOUR COMPENSATION WILL BE PROVIDED IN TWO WEEKS' TIME.

Um...
[He tries thinking hard on this. But on par with his upbringing, only one solution comes to mind]
Maybe if there's a church nearby, they can help...?
no subject
shrugs ]
I guess it can’t hurt. If they say no maybe they can tell us where a homeless shelter is? Or like, a comfortable alleyway, or cozy abandoned factory.
[ SIGH. He’s not being sarcastic, just fatalistic. This sucks. ]
no subject
They won't direct us to an abandoned factory.
[JEEZ BOY]
C'mon. I'm sure someone will be able to give us directions if we ask.
no subject
Okay, okay. It’s not like it can make things worse. [ thanks, captain sunshine! ] Let’s go.
no subject
[Jun will start walking, looking around for people. There aren't many people on the street, as most have hurried back inside where there's AC. A shame, because city center really did seem like it'd be a busy and lively place any other day.
Eventually, Jun spots someone. A lady dressed up in a maid costume, holding flyers advertising the maid cafe she's standing in front of. ]
A maid cafe? [He didn't realize the US had those!] Well, they're the only ones around...so let's try asking her.

[Maybe they don't have them in his town? Who knows. Jun takes a few steps forward...
And notices that Isaac isn't following him. Turns to look back]
Isaac?
no subject
[ he is beet red. ]
no subject
Are you nervous about talking to a maid?
no subject
YOU’RE IMAGINING THINGS
[ wow, is he okay? ]
no subject
[Leans back a little]
N-No need to be so loud.
[In fact he's loud enough that the maid sure is looking in their direction. HELP]

Hi~! ♥ Aren't you a cutie?

Hehe, oh is he shy? That's so sweet~
[Jun laughs a little] He is, sorry about. Anyway...
[And he'll proceed to start talking to the maid like a normal person! Time to get some directions while Isaac pulls his brain reboots]
no subject
[ said quietly, to his shoes, while the ADULTS TALK. ]
no subject
Jun meanwhile keeps chatting the girl up. It's a friendly chat, he's not at all fazed. In fact he'll even accept a flier from her and thank the girl before moving away...
Oh. Right. He'll turn and wave at Isaac]
Isaac! We can go now.
[The maid will beam at Isaac and wave goodbye. GOODBYE YOU CUTIE]
