Ινιθυις Ξασιβυς

♠ ♣ A Game of Chance ♥ ♦
 

Who: Anyone
Where: Aramid Room
Summary: You enter the Dream World and are given a key. But will you use it? (Note that your character does NOT have to come to this log, the dream only happens for characters you want to come to the Aramid room)
When: Futuredated to the 13th
Warnings: Some characters may have terrible desires. It depends who is there, but this IS the Aramid Room.

That night, you find yourself falling asleep. It does not matter if you never sleep, somehow these things always find a way, if you wish to come here. The blackest pitch and the sound of nothingness is your companions for a few tense minutes; you can try screaming out, but nothing comes from your mouth. But when all seems truly lost...

The first thing you are aware of when rousing from your slumber is the distant, muffled music of a piano.

It coaxes you roughly back to the land of the living, and when you open your eyes - all you can see is a ceiling of pure red.

This is the Aramid Room - or rather, your own personal room within it. The room looks pretty lavish at a glance; pretty flowers, polished furniture, silky looking bed sheets... but when you look closer, you realize those flowers are fake, the furniture is of veneer, not actual wood, and the bed sheets are nylon. It is like a tacky love hotel - hell, even the bed is shaped like a massive heart, with black and red sheets.

Resting on the bedside dresser is a plain white mask, a bowl of apples which never seems to run out, no matter how many you eat, and a small red key. The mask has a little note underneath that says "Please wear when leaving for the lounge, thank you!". There is even a bell for room service beside it - or so you presume in any case, since this place is mimicking a hotel so closely...

As for entertainment, there isn't really much. Just a small television mounted up on the wall, and its remote resting beside you on the bed. If you try the television, all that is displayed is static, except for brief moments of clarity, where it seems just commercials would play - commercials that, strangely advertised for your deepest, darkest desire, no matter how fantastical or illegal it is...

But that's if you wish to stay in the room. You might want to explore, right? If that's the case, all you will have to do is don the white mask and leave. To your right, you will see rows of locked doors stretching infinitely down the hallway you entered into - no matter how long you walk, you'd find them all closed and impossible for you to get in. You could try knocking if you want, but who knows if someone else wants to answer. The stairs to the lower levl will be to your left.

Follow them, and enter the lounge beyond...

▼ OOC : Instructions
Welcome to the Aramid Room. There are but a few instructions here:
▶ Create your posts and if you want others to knock on your door, leave it open. Otherwise, have fun creating the commercials tailored to your desires!
▶ The lower level post will be coming a little while later.
▶ You do not have to play out all the request ends or beginnings. In fact it's encouraged to just use the forms (reply this month for a request, reply the next month saying the request is done) and handwave. However, the mods will be happy to do a reply, if you wish!
▶ To get a new Persona, you go to [HERE] and pick a public persona, then fill out a request [HERE]. NOTE THE EXTRA RULES AT TAKING OUT A PERSONA IN THE ARAMID ROOM, THIS IS VERY IMPROTANT!! Remember, public personas only! You can request a Persona (or two if you are a previous Persona user).
▶ You can requests can only be given to Edgar this month [HERE] and remember you only get one request per month.
▶ You can interact with characters in the upper levels if you'd like, and go to each other's rooms, hang around, have a drink (what is in that drink anyway?) or just talk between yourselves.
The masks makes it impossible to know who the other person is, unless they tell you their names. Even if they are un their underwear. Yes, you are allowed to use a fake name.

[EDGAR]

With the décor being what it is, Hizumi takes it upon himself to ask the question that everybody is surely wondering. "Sooo... is this place in any way affiliated with the Velvet Room?"

--

[OPEN PORTION]

Hizumi's got the mask over his eyes and a drink in hand as he watches the others in the lounge. He can't recognize anyone here at all, but that's not going to stop him from trying, more to have something to do during his stay than anything else.

If one was expecting a negative reaction from that question, it thankfully didn't come to pass. If anything, Edgar sputtered into a surprised giggle that eventually grew into raucous and, let's be honest, somewhat disturbing laughter before he had to calm himself. Ahahah, whew! Goodness...

"Please excuse that...ahem, outburst, but no, we are not affiliated with such..." He tapped his fingers on the table to find the right word. "...naïve idealists. However, we do exist on the same metaphysical plane, if that is what you were wondering."
bondsofsuffering: ([Think] out of it)

"So you're on the same metaphysical plane, but you... do what, exactly? I'd assume it's different from the Velvet Room, because there's no real point in having two places that serve the same purpose." Especially when the group that was being served was so very limited to begin with.

"Haha...very sharp of you. That is correct. While we do perform fusions here as well, we do provide extra services to promote some healthy competition. These services involve a fair amount of risk, but the same could be said about many things in life, don't you think?"
bondsofsuffering: ([Look] This reality like)

"What kinds of extra services? And for what kinds of risks?" There's a flicker of interest in his eyes, hidden as they are behind his mask.

"Unlocking more of your potential power." No being cryptic about it, no being mysterious, it's just as he says. There's simply no other way to put it.

"I will say, there is the risk of doing so having some rather unfortunate effects. Not always, but occasionally. I won't lie...it is a gamble of sorts. But, most of you are adults and you are free to take that risk if you so choose. Don't you agree?"
bondsofsuffering: ([Devil] to believe in)

"Sometimes you have to take a gamble to get what you want." So of course there will be times when you don't necessarily win.

"So what are these effects? You're usually supposed to tell people about all of the possible side effects, or else you're going to have some unhappy customers."
