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.]

Multiple Personas, huh... He'll definitely have to look into that if he wants to get any better at defending himself in this place. Other than that, Aoba can't help but find something a little off-putting about the atmosphere; even when dealing with the supernatural, he's used to having some degree of control over the situation, so the otherworldly nature of the place just seems to rub in how completely out of his element he is here.

"Ah... what exactly did you mean by a 'contract', mister?"

He chuckled softly before answering.

"The Contract is your Will. By entering this world, you chose to let your fate become...intertwined with this one. Had you not, or had you simply been too weak-willed to recall your name when Master Philemon asked for it, you would not be here."
endears: (it's not a game)

... Certainly, having his will praised like this isn't too bad. "So, it's like that?" He folds his arms, appearing to think over the words in his head. He doubts his will alone would qualify as a 'contract'; he must be expected to actually do something, right?

"Then, could I ask what the terms of my contract are?"
