A Dance in Vivacissimo for the Velvet Room

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Velvet Room
Summary: The blue door appears and it's time for a little field trip
Warnings: DJ Velvet?

This time, there didn't seem to be a crisis, but nevertheless, the Velvet roomed showed up once again. As usual, policemen and WAND operatives protected 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 or had visited two times prior, this entire experience will be completely new...and even if you've been here, the experience is still new.



The bar is spacious and large. The place is oddly calming; as if all the troubles of the city have melted away and you're just drifting in the sea. A multitude of blue butterflies are flying on the ceiling overhead.

Now, for some of those who had been here before, there was something different this time.

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 sound began to fill your ears. The voice, for those who have heard her speak, sounds like Caroline was doing the background vocal work.

The Aria of the Soul...just served a little differently.

Now the full meaning of the Velvet Bar comes to fruition.

If you can spot Igor in the farthest corner (it's hard to see without the lights) he has...a pair of sunglasses? He seems to be pretty quiet this evening, and instead Caroline is there to great everyone as the music continues to play.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room. My name is Caroline...and this is DJ Velvet, my brother William."

He responds by raising one of his hands in the air and giving a V sign, before going back to mixing.

"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."

Her tone of voice was clearly much better than the previous two times. Caroline was gaining, slowly a bit more assurance in herself. She also seemed much more relaxed with William around.

"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. I hope you find your stay tonight enjoyable."

Caroline then goes behind the bar and awaits for those who might wish to talk with her. Or perhaps you'd like to go see William first?

[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] (althought the post is still in migration, you can find the old list [HERE]) and pick a public persona, 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 29th of November.
▶ This time, requests can be given from either Caroline OR William [HERE] and remember you only get one request per month. You can request a Quest until the 29th of November, or wait until next month. You can only as one request and it can be either Caroline or William.
▶ You can talk with Igor, Caroline, William, hang around, have a drink (what is in that drink anyway?) or just talk between yourselves.

Ruri quietly walks into the bar and sits there listening to the movie and looking over the drinks.

"So this is now a club?"

Caroline didn't seemed to fazed, and pushed a bluish drink towards her.

"My brother's choice of music for the Velvet Room is...more...I believe the word is modern than Nameless and Belladonna's, I admit."
electricyousei: (eh?)

"Oh? Do you have the old version? Perhaps Omoikane and I could recreate it in quieter moments."

Loken seems fairly annoyed to have come into here once again. Still, he doesn't openly complain, just looking around and examing the new helmet-clad denizen of the Velvet Room.

"That would be impossible," she explained. "The Aria of the Soul was written by the residents of the Velvet Room as a means to pacify and calm any Guests who enter. It emerged from the sea of souls, and therefore, there are numerous notes and passages that the human ear cannot hear...or even comprehend."
electricyousei: (Ruri Discouraged)

[personal profile] electricyousei 2012-11-21 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I see. Omoikane isn't human, but perhaps a computer is much the same. This all is very hard for me to comprehend. Still, that doesn't seem quite calming."

The helmet-clad gave him a small wave before going right back at mixing the music inside the room. He was tall...well taller than the rest of the Velvet Room residents, standing at 6'4", but still small compared to Loken.

"Each of the Resident's method of delivery differs. William has been more influenced by human contact."

For Caroline

Much to the confusion of the WAND agents, Latooni had entered the Velvet Room with what was clearly a gift-wrapped bottle of alcohol, and was now looking for someone to give it to.

This is her first time visiting such a place. Yukiko's first thought when she entered the bar: 'There's so much blue'.

What intrigued her more was not the music but rather Caroline speaking about the ability to use multiple personas. So it's possible for everyone in the city to do such a thing? Then it got her thinking back to when the scorpions were attacking everyone...she didn't have anything to help Yu when he was poisoned and just scrapped by the skin of her teeth getting him help.

So would this be the answer?
travelingtheworlds: (suspiciously cute)

For Caroline

Sasha sauntered into the Velvet Room with one of those laundromat hanger bags. "Caroliiiiine~!" she chimed, a playful lilt to her voice. "I've got something I think you'll like!"

Pharos remembered this place, even it had been a spacious elevator endlessly traveling upward the last occasion he had personally visited the dimension between mind and matter. The door that shines blue and the man behind the door in the Room—now the Bar—full of plush upholstery, shimming blue butterflies, and calming music, it was all familiar even if there were new faces.

"You're one of Igor's new Attendants, I assume?" he asked one of the said new faces with a half smile on his lips.

So, he had been correct in his assumption that this city was full of people who could summon multiple Personas both naturally and unnaturally. And he'd gained that ability as well with his arrival into this universe. Interesting. The child couldn't help, but wonder what his own inner self was.

"Ah, and the humans of this time like that music. I understand."

Ruri finally takes the drink and takes a sip.

Loken seems content to keep his silence for the moment, just watching everyone else interact.
thelordsage: (What's this?)

Sephiran was having a bit of difficulty getting used to Hinoto-Ri, to say the least. All the strange technology and materials and aesthetics were a tad overwhelming at times. Nonetheless, he managed to pry himself away from staring at the fridge and microwave and stove and other modern appliances in his apartment to investigate this Velvet Room place. Multiple Personas...? He had barely gotten used to his original one. He was going to hold off on getting more for now.

However, what really got Sephiran's attention was the music. It was a little grating and confusing to his ears, but the vocals were beautiful. "Whose voice is that...?" he wondered aloud, mesmerized.

And so, the DJ did as well.

Shura came into the Velvet Room sick, exhausted, and cursed. Yamato had been pressing her on to find a way to summon the Lady, so far to no avail, and between him and Marogareh, she hadn't gotten much sleep.

Normally she didn't like that type of music much, especially on so little sleep, but something in the beat was soothing her instead of giving her a pounding headache. Slowly, she made her way to the DJ's mixing table as her curse was dispelled; when she reached it, she was cured, but she nonetheless sat on the stage and rested her head against the table's leg.

"Don't stop playing, DJ," she asked.

And Caroline was busy serving drinks at that moment. When she finally came over, she gave Latooni a smile.

"Good evening." Her tone was much brighter than last month.
sweetquests: (Smile eyes closed)

That icon

"Indeed?" Happiness was infectious, especially for a resident of the Velvet Room, and she gave her a warm smile. She had a good idea of what was inside, but, oh dear, she had to be a proper resident of the Velvet Room.

Caroline; then OPEN

Lev looks around, confused at this place. He's familiar with the basic concept of a nightclub but he's never been in one. He heads over to Caroline, a little hesitant.

"I'm not sure I understand this whole Persona thing. I don't understand why the thing that appeared took the form that it did."

He's not so sure he deserves an angel of mercy.


--

Later, Lev wanders around, trying to see who else is in this place. Don't mind a very quiet boy staring at you a bit.
djvelvet: (Yes)

[personal profile] djvelvet 2012-11-21 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
The man in the helmet nodded at him. He was indeed one of the new residents of the Velvet Room.
sweetquests: (Smile blush)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-11-21 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"That would be mine..." Caroline said from her post, very much pleased with this praising. "William recorded it using his electrical machines and created a modern, upbeat melody with it!"

Yes. Modern Upbeat Melody.
djvelvet: (( ´・ω・`))

[personal profile] djvelvet 2012-11-21 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, DJ Velvet wasn't going to stop playing the music any time soon. Take all the time you need, in this place between the conscious and the unconscious.
travelingtheworlds: (a little mischief)

It's Sasha's "cutesy" icon. =7=

[personal profile] travelingtheworlds 2012-11-21 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes, indeed!" With a little clumsy struggling, Sasha pulled the dress in this picture out of the laundromat bag. "You know how you wanted a nice dress like Belladonna's? I got you one while shopping for the masquerade. It's a little on the simple side, but I think it'll look good on you." She held the dress up straight so that Caroline could get a good look at it. "Well? What do you think?"
sweetquests: (Smile eyes closed)

[personal profile] sweetquests 2012-11-21 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
She hands him a drink (don't worry, it's alcohol free!) before speaking.

"A Persona is a facet of your personality that surfaces as you react to external stimuli. It protects you from hardships."

As if this somehow answered everything.
