Sweet Velvet [Velvet Room Visit - September 2012]

Who: EVERYONE
Where: Velvet Room
Summary: The blue door appears and it's time for a little field trip.
Warnings: Orpheus is going.

After the message, those that wished to see the phenomenon in action would find themselves at the rendezvous point. There was a surprising amount of police force and WAND operatives watching close by.

"We have to protect the points in case anything happens," he explains. "Should someone try to blow up the place, we wouldn't want to find you all trapped in the realm of the human subconscious."

As they stepped in, they 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.



The Velvet Room is more of a Velvet Bar at this point. Music from an unidentified source begins to play. 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.

The music swells. 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.

"Ahhh, so it has finally, truly begun...welcome to the Velvet Room. My name is Igor... and this is Caroline, my assistant. There is another, William, but he is currently occupied. We all reside in this Velvet Room."

"Pleased to meet you."

"This place exists between mind and matter... A room for those who gave forged a contract... Yes... In awakening to the power of Persona granted to you by Philemon, you are now bound to a contract. From this moment forth, you are all our guests in the Velvet Room."

"I will give you all the key necessary to visit this 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."

"As your powers grow in this world, we will be able to grant you new skills. For now, please enjoy yourselves."

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:
▶ Currently, you cannot fuse personas. Your link to this world is too weak.
▶ 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 thta belongs to someone else! You can request a Persona (or two if you are a previous Persona user) until the 22nd of September, or wait until next month.
▶ Requests to Caroline can be posted [HERE] and remember you only get one request per month. You can request a Quest until the 22nd of September or wait until next month.
▶ You can talk with Igor, Caroline, hang around, have a drink (what is in that drink anyway?) or just talk between yourselves.]

As a resident of the Velvet Room, Elizabeth is no stranger to the violet and blue decor, nor to the haunting refrain of its music. The alcohol is new to her, as is the binding contract (although she knew of it -- she had never been bound by one before).

There's still something different - something special - about entering the room not as a resident of it but as a guest. She pauses not far from the doorway, listening to Igor's introduction (although she feels as if she could recite it herself, as if she should turn to the others and smile, extending a hand to the air and welcoming them to the Velvet Room -- but that can be done once her journey is at its end, and once she is back in her own little room).

"Bravo!" She exclaims, once Igor's done, and claps three short times. She might be mocking the whole thing, but she is grateful for something -- normal, at least in her mind. As much as she is born on whimsy, and as excited as she is to be out of the Velvet Room and on her own adventure, she still misses the timelessness of it.

Sort of.

Caroline, for her part, seems somewhat devastated by Elizabeth's actions, and was whispering to herself. Well, as whispering as someone in the Velvet room could do, which is to say, she did not quite understand that action in full.

"Oh no...did I mess up in one part? I'd been practicing so hard...maybe I said 'world' too many times..."

Ah, yes. The newest resident. Elizabeth studies her from afar, then heads on over. She had heard something of her from Theodore - that is, just that there was another resident in the Velvet Room - and she was

excited to meet her? Maybe?

Well, regardless of her feelings, she certainly had a few things to discuss with her.

"Whispering is done under one's breath, if that is what you were trying for, Caroline." Look, she even used your name.

"O-oh! I did not realize that my vocal cords were carrying my voice this far..." She looked away, blushing a little. Without waiting for the other's approval, she moved quickly, her hands grabbing this and that until she presented the previous resident with a fancy drink, umbrella and all.

"I call Velvet Room on the Rocks."

Rocks was right. Instead of the ice cubes, she had placed small, colorful white pebbles. Taken...a little too literally.

Oh, the --

Rocks?

Oh dear. Elizabeth's beginning to think Caroline and Theodore would get along quite nicely quietly ignoring the fact she herself was just as ignorant before go on dates with her guest. Still, she doubts she's ever had the chance to see the real world, so she'll concede and take the drink.

"It looks quite refreshing. Are you accustomed to making drinks?"

Even so, she'll take a sip. It can't be too lethal.

Her expression goes right back to smiling.

"Actually I have been practicing in preparation for today." Just how much she had, was a mystery. However, the drink was surprisingly good! It was just really sweet. "Did you also mix drinks for the Guests?"

Elizabeth doesn't mind the sweetness. It's actually pretty nice -- she's never tasted something like this.

"Not at all. The room I resided in had the appearance of an elevator, so there wasn't much room for mixing drinkings." The rocks, though... Maybe this is really how it's supposed to be. "Is this your first time greeting such a large group of guests?"
