Sweet Velvet [General Open Velvet Room Visit]

Where: Velvet Room
Summary: Pack your bags, we're going on a train ride!
When: Anytime from the 15th to the 30th, please mark your date!
Warnings: That depends who is there

The moment the glowing blue door is opened, the sounds of life grow quiet. The hum of an engine far up ahead. This is the inside of a train. The entire cabin is covered in blue and white highlights, seats wide and spacious, looking like a victorian-era train. Soft and comforting music can be heard in the background, calming the souls of those who enter. The windows are open and outside a breathtaking view of a starry night sky. Is the train flying? Why does it sound like it’s going on tracks, then?

For newcomers, this may seem a little random, but it surely sparks some curiosity, doesn't it? Strange doors appearing out of nowhere and all… obviously this merits some investigation!

Even as the doors go towards the next cabin open, the theme stays the same. It's very blue. The furniture consists of soft sofas and chairs, perfect for relaxing and taking a breather, especially in the company of others.

A few more cabins opens up to a bar-like one.


The bar is spacious and large. Like the rest of the train, this place is oddly calming; as if all the troubles of the city have melted away. Yet there's excitement in the air; not unlike the first summoning of a Persona. A multitude of blue butterflies are flying on the ceiling overhead, their wings softly flapping. Some will sometimes fly down on the the shoulders and hair of the guests.

The lights were mostly out, the dim bar setting made even more evident. The remaining lights, however, pointed to a musical setup. In the back, a single dark figure bouncing his head back and forth, as the softer music of the other cabin changed into something a lot more upbeat.

A tall figure sat in the farthest corner, which was hard to see without the lights, his siluet black against the blue room. The easiest way to recognize him is the large nose...they can’t be human.

A figure with ash blonde hair and bright yellow eyes greets you, smiling softly before bowing.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." Her voice is filled with confidence; she has grown much over the past year with the Visitors. "My name is Caroline...and this is my brother William."



"This place exists between mind and matter... a room for those who gave forged a contract... for those who are here for the first time, you now must know that by awakening to the power of Persona granted to you by or Master Philemon, you are bound to a contract. If this power is still growing within you, it will come soon and you are still welcome here. You are our Guests within this Velvet Room. Inside of you lies the ability to hold multiple Personas and wield their powers...a wildcard ability. However the rules of this world are rather… unique."

She clutched her book with one hand, smiling.

"As you continue to live here longer and aid this ailing world, the connection and bonds you forge will reinforce your Destiny String, and allow you to unlock your full potential. Once your skills have matured enough, you will be able to unlock even more powerful Personas within you. Please see Master Igor if you wish to learn more."

"The three of us have been instructed to aid you to the best of our abilities. I hope you find your stay tonight enjoyable. Our Master has said that there will be many obstacles fighting against you in the upcoming months...and we wish to prepare you as best as we can."

Once her speech is done, she moves back behind the bar’s counter, leaving the guests to decide what they wish to do now.

[OOC : Welcome to the Velvet Room.
▶ To get a new Persona, pick anything available [HERE] and then fill out a notification that you’ve switched [HERE]. You can do this at any time, but we figured we’d remind you!
▶ Requests from Caroline or William can be found [HERE]. As a bonus if you request it this month, you can thread out the request in this log.
▶ You can talk with Igor, Caroline, William or just hang around, have a drink and just talk between yourselves.
▶ Start your own thread, and write if it's open or if they are heading towards one of the three.]

Hello!

And no, that drink is completely alcoholic free. The bubbles you see are caused by two oxygen atoms each covalently double bonded to a single carbon atom.

[She pushes it towards him, adding a bright blue cherry.]

The human soul is composed of many masks. A self capable of divine love, another of demonic cruelty...and everything in between. Each day, you use these innumerable masks to face the hardships of life. Moreover, those that interact with you will give rise to new masks; no two friends will think of you quite the same, therefore each with an opinion of who 'you' are.

The ability of a persona user is that they can call for some of these masks to aid in battle.

[...Oxygen atoms... covalent..

?????

Before he can take a drink and question exactly what she just said, the butterfly creeping in his hair decides to lay claim on the drink, flitting over and resting on the blue cherry's stalk. MINE NOW. It... probably isn't Philemon.]
Many masks... [Personas, yeah? Like. Persona persona. Not. The entity. The word definition.]

May I ask another question? Since calling different 'masks' is possible... how does one call a different Persona?

[Awww look at the cutie little guy go for it. She swiftly prepares him another drink instead, but this time there are rocks in there.

...on the rocks...well the assistants didn't get to go out too much in the world.]


That would be a question to ask Master Igor. He is able to summon those Personas for you.

Master Igor? [Alright then!

He kinda feels bad for making her prepare two drinks and entertain his confusion (though the former isn't really his fault...) so he's gonna move on quickly! Assuming Igor is the dude with the crazy nose.

...not that he'd say that out loud but

that is certainly a nose

Jonathan stop thinking that you're being rude]


Alright then. Thank you very much for your help, Caroline. [Really though, thanks. He's going to try the drink and... uh he does swallow it without making a readable expression that indicates negativity (what kind of liquid was that. that is so weird)]

Is it refreshing enough for you? The bubbles may get in your nose, but it's nothing to worry about!

[If she saw his discomfort, she certainly was ignoring it.]

[CAROLINE...

Tastes like the Unclean One's drinks, really. You know, the things that make him stare and go are you sure this is edible are you really really sure feed it to the demons first.]


I'll... get used to it.

[POOF off he goes wow fuck that]
