In Times of Need [Velvet Room Open Log]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Velvet Room
Summary: The blue door appears and it's time for a little field trip
Warnings: No Scorpios allowed

It was said that the Velvet Room appears during times of need.

They couldn't be more right. In the mist of the policemen and WAND operatives protecting the door, the rendezvous point was well guarded.

As they stepped in, the group weren't given much information as to what exactly you were heading into. Unless you've been a guest before, this entire experience will be completely new...and even if you've been here, the experience is still new.



As you enter, the music is more somber than usual, the urgent beats different from the slow song of before. The sound is louder too, and looking to the left, a ,grand dark blue piano it placed where it was not before, a man busy playing. His eyes are covered in cloth. Despite the song, the music is oddly calming; as if all the troubles of the city and the strange feeling of dread have melted away. Those who know earth's music will recognize it as Beethoven's Pathetique. A multitude of blue butterflies are flying on the ceiling overhead. The pianist speaks.

"It has been over 90,000 and 999 nights that I have been in this room, confronting my heart to write music. Yet here I am unsure of the count and not understanding why...Perhaps I should begin anew to one night starting now?" There is a certain amount of frustration in his voice, as it appears that numbers are clearly important to him.

The music swells, and a singer speaks next to him, lending her powerful voice to his music.

My duty here
Is to calm the hearts of the visitors
Your skills will be needed
For the upcoming task at hand

To aid you I must hear
My heart's music
Thought my ears
Block out the world's sound
Your words will reach me clearly

A voice speaks up in the farthest corner. While there are many of you, his voice seems to almost come from everywhere, and even in a low tone, carries enough that you can understand everything.

"Welcome again to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor... and this is Caroline, my assistant. Unfortunately, William is still preoccupied. Tonight, we are being joined by Nameless, and Belladonna. They have come to aid you on your journey. We all reside in this Velvet Room."

"It is good to see you all again."

"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 in awakening to the power of Persona granted to you by Philemon, you are bound to a contract. You are all now guests of the Velvet Room. You all have the ability to hold multiple Personas and wield their powers...a wildcard ability. However the rules of this world are rather...unique. Even if you were a wielder before, the bridge between this place and your old universe is currently...fragile at best. Those who have the ability to see the Strings will understand exactly what I mean."

"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 truly unlock your full potential."

"As stipulated by the contact, we will aid you to the best of our abilities."

"There is a storm coming, and while we cannot and do not know what it truly is, we are here to aid you in the troubled times, to hopefully calm your nerves and prepare you for the difficult tasks ahead."

Caroline then goes behind the bar and awaits for those who might wish to talk with her.

[OOC : Welcome to the Velvet Room. There but a few instructions here:
▶ Go to the [PERSONA UPDATE LIST] and fill out the information for your character.
▶ To get a new Persona, you go to [HERE] and then fill out a request [HERE]. Remember you cannot get persona that belongs to someone else! You can request a Persona (or two if you are a previous Persona user) until the 23nd of October. This is a short time, but it is for this event only. There will be another Velvet Room visit after the event.
▶ Requests to Caroline can be posted [HERE] and remember you only get one request per month. You can request a Quest until the 29th of October, or wait until next month.
▶ You can talk with Igor, Caroline, Nameless, Belladonna, hang around, have a drink (what is in that drink anyway?) or just talk between yourselves.
Scorpios cannot enter the Velvet Room. If you are a Scorpio there is something quite different that will happen...they will find themselves in the Aramid room. However, their memory of it will only come back once the event is over. Ergo, the log for that will be put later since it will include interesting information...HOWEVER You can request Persona, just in the Aramid Room and THEY CAN BE A LEVEL ABOVE YOUR CURRENT CHARACTER'S. They will stop working once the event is over.]
pistolsakimbo: (...go cliff yourself.)

FOR IGOR! ...late and out of order, but w/e

[As soon as everyone can mix and mingle and talk to the Velvet Room people? Oh you know she's running right up to Mr. Long Nose.]

I am in seriously desperate need of something that isn't what I've got.
not_that_sasuke: ([Surprise] this town)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-24 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[...Uh.]

No...?
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (questioning)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-24 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Sorry if that was a weird question, but someone was following me before and used a smoke bomb to escape. I thought there might be a group of ninja that was brought here.
not_that_sasuke: ([Think] is also my friend.)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-24 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
A... smoke bomb?

[That definitely sounds like a ninja thing to do, if a little extravagant. Are there others around...?]

What makes you think it's a group? It could just be one person.
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (neutral)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-24 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Her friends would have probably said, 'if there was only one ninja, I would already be dead, but Latooni is a little more reasonable about separating reality and fiction than most of her friends.]

The person I think it was also hung around and watched people, like you're doing. I guess that's the sort of thing I used to do too, but...anyway, it just seemed like a connection.
not_that_sasuke: ([Book] lying on the side)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-24 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Is it really that strange to people watch?
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (questioning)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-24 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Everyone tells me you're supposed to make conversation. Or at least not stare.
not_that_sasuke: (You aren't very good at this.)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-24 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry if I offended you.

I'm just... not very talkative.
therooms: (Nameless)

Just Nameless this time

[personal profile] therooms 2012-10-24 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Fear is a terrible thing, but not dangerous.]

You are the 300 and 13th person to give me that answer. But I envy you, as I did my previous guest. You know how to question oneself...

"I'm glad you enjoy it!"

Caroline was easily fooled. She had worked really hard on the drink for Pit too, it had a nice little umbrella which she hadn't drop like the first month!
sweetquests: (Smile eyes closed)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-10-24 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Caroline just smiles and takes the package, giving her a small bow politely and sliding the package under the bar away from view.]

It is my turn to apologize for being unable to go outside of the Velvet room due to the current situation and its preparation.

[She pushes a drink towards her. It's very...fancy.]

Perhaps after this is over, there will be an opportunity.
velvet_nose: (Master of Velvet)

[personal profile] velvet_nose 2012-10-24 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
The Velvet Attendant merely chuckles. Not because this is a joke (especially after all this time, you just know he chuckles like that, right?) nor because he's disturbed (as a servant of Philemon, one sees a lot of things). Rather it just happens because that's what he always does.

"Unfortunately...no."
electricyousei: (Ruri pondering)

[personal profile] electricyousei 2012-10-24 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
If it is your duty to maintain this place, then there is nothing to apologize for, I'm very well acquainted with not being able to leave a place because of that.

Perhaps when things calm down I can have Omoikane send his full movie database and you can select whichever you want instead of having me guess as I really know nothing about them.

Thank you for the drink.

[She nods and takes a little sip, pondering the flavors]
sweetquests: (Smile eyes closed)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-10-24 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I do know that some of the other attendants jest, but I assure you, I was told such an armor exists! Perhaps it can be found around the city..." She taps her chin as she talks. "Oh yes! An Armor-y I believe? Or a...Mr. Black Smith?"
sweetquests: (Normal)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-10-24 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Here," Caroline says in a gentle voice, pushing a mug of hot chocolate towards him. "Please listen to Belladonna and Nameless, music it will aid in calming you during your stay here."
sweetquests: (Default)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-10-24 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
"It's wonderful!" she finishes for him. "To be given something created out of your hands...I have heard that it is a great sign of respect to your peers and a gift from the heart!" She puts it away under the bar...and comes back up with what looks to be a small paper-made airplane close to him.

"I made this myself using instructions I found in an old manual." She meant a Magazine, but Carolin would not exactly know the difference.

"Please take it to Master Igor."

>You have gained an MINIATURE ARWING.
ice_cream_ai: (Sad)

[personal profile] ice_cream_ai 2012-10-24 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
He almost starts when he finally noticed her. Kaito flashes a nervous smile as he gratefully takes the mug. "Thanks... I don't even know why I feel so-" The vocaloid interrupts himself. "Oh, I brought you some melted ice cream like you asked."
nofairy: (eh?!)

[personal profile] nofairy 2012-10-24 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"!"

He's really glad she likes it. He felt really bad about not being able to find what she was asking for. So it's a surprise when she hands him the miniature airplane - not that he knows what an airplane is.

"Ah... thank you very much!" He smiles brightly at her, before nodding and heading over towards Igor.

... That is a very large nose sir. But he'll refrain on commenting on it, just wait patiently until he's available and head up to Igor.

"Ah... hello?"
gforceinmyfaaaace: (say it a third time)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2012-10-25 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
She's not fooled for no reason. He slurps that drink right up, burps, then looks at her anxiously.

"...so how much does this cost?"
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (blushing)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-25 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, it's fine. I was just curious. I wasn't very talkative either, but I'm alone here, and I sort of got used to people talking, so...
not_that_sasuke: (Ah. It's a cat.)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-25 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
Alone? You mean because you don't know anyone else here?
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (neutral)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-25 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

There's several people from similar worlds, but no one from the Earth Federation I recognize.
not_that_sasuke: ([Think] is also my friend.)

[personal profile] not_that_sasuke 2012-10-26 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
So you're from Earth as well...? Or one of them?
canteachyoumore: ([v. hierophant])

[personal profile] canteachyoumore 2012-10-26 03:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It is merely my duty to do so, my ultimate purpose as one who has come from the same realm as you. I don't believe you have any reason to envy me.

[Though he'd be lying if he'd say it was his current. That is something else completely.]
ineedthemforanalyzing: SRW OGs (questioning)

[personal profile] ineedthemforanalyzing 2012-10-26 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. As far as I can tell, I'm from a possible future, compared to where we are now.
