my questions!! what

ah, well you see
@ unidentified
i'm the developer of
the VIC messenger!
so when you signed in
i was notified of your
name
@ unidentified
as for how you got
the app,, did you
happen to buy your
phone refurbished?

@ you
uh,,, yeah actually
@ you
wait how did you
know that??

@ unidentified
hmmm, well this isn't
good

@ you
what exactly do you
mean by that
@ you
i'm kinda getting
uncomfortable

@ unidentified
oh no, i'm so sorry!
i don't want to make
you uncomfortable in
any way
@ unidentified
but you see, the last
person we recruited
to help us must have
broken their contract
@ unidentified
they probably got rid
of their phone in order
to go off the grid, and
now it's in your hands

@ you
i'm sorry but that does
not clear ANYTHING
up for me
@ you
who is 'we?' and what
do you recruit people for?
@ you
probably nothing good
if this person scrapped
their phone just to get
away from you

@ unidentified
i really am sorry, but
i can't answer that...
@ unidentified
just know that we're good
people, and we only want to
do what's right for everyone
@ unidentified
which is why i'm going to
need to ask you for a favor,
areum

@ you
a favor? but i don't
even know you!

@ unidentified
i know, i know, i'm really
sorry
@ unidentified
but areum, i need you to
take the place of our
previous recruit.

@ you
no

@ unidentifiable
you know, i've been
rejected many times,
but it always hurts the
same 😭

@ you
i would say i feel
sorry for you, but i
don't even KNOW you
@ you
do you know how weird
this whole experience
has been?
@ you
i'm deleting this app

@ unidentified
NO
@ unidentified
areum you cant do that
@ unidentified
you'll be in danger if
you try

@ you
now you're THREATENING
me??

@ unidentified
it's not a threat, it's a
warning
@ unidentified
please, i need you to
trust me

@ you
and why should i?

@ unidentified
... i don't have an answer
for that
@ unidentified
but i'm serious. don't delete
the app
@ unidentified
the best thing you can do
is just cooperate. alright?

@ you
oh my god
@ you
i can't believe this
@ you
what exactly would
you need me to do?

@ unidentified
do you remember
being added to a chatroom
when you first opened the
app?

@ you

or something like that

@ unidentified
mhmm.
@ unidentified
i need you to enter the
chatroom and talk to
the guys in there.
