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.

The gentleman swirls the wine in his glass a bit as he's approached by the girl. He seems to smile at her... although there was no way to tell what with his mask over his face.

"You may ask me whatever you'd like, I'll try to be as informative as I can be. After all, how could I deny such hospitality to a guest?"
dreamsonwings: (Why?)

He said 'guest' so does that mean he owns the place or is he someone who comes here a lot? Either way, he sounds nice enough to make Sora feel a little more comfortable. But not by much because waking up in a strange love hotel place while in her underwear is not what she wanted to do her first week in.

"Well, earlier I was trying to find someone who could tell me about this place. You sound like you have an idea."

She...didn't mean for it to come out so timid like that. New places sometimes scare her.
scratch_doctor: (I Know)

Perhaps she isn't his guest, but she is a guest, and really there's little difference when it comes to his polite behavior. Besides, she seemed frightened.

"I've been told that this is the Aramid Room. The other side of the coin, you could say, a place more well-suited to those whose souls carry... somewhat darker ambitions, or perhaps darker burdens. That isn't to say this is true for everyone who arrives here; I don't have much of a paradigm to work with after all. The Aramid Room was far more exclusive until this night."

He chuckles a little and offers her a seat. "Don't look so frightened, dear. No one in this place can or will hurt you. That wouldn't make us very good hosts, now, would it? You're perfectly safe."
dreamsonwings: (Regal)

"Darker burdens..."

She knows she's changed from the moment she was pulled from home but the idea of doing something...being involved in something bad (in her mind) wasn't one of them. But she does take his offer on the seat, hands folded on her lap. It's when the man says those last words that the woman froze. Mentally of course, remembering the last time someone mentioned being safe in a dark-themed place.

"Ah, thank you very much. Is this place still in Hinoto-Ri?"

The gentleman notices her pause, and tips his head forward slightly, as though he were grinning, sipping more of the wine in his hand. Perhaps he'd been right on the money, after all.

"Technically... You are dreaming, at the moment. This place exists within a dream, I suppose you could say, which of course would leave your physical sleeping form in Hinoto-Ri." He sets his wine glass down and seems to give her a glance over.

"Tell me, madame, what would you prefer I call you?"
dreamsonwings: (In thought/Content)

A dream...at least it wouldn't hurt her. She thinks. The woman was about to give him her name but the one that slipped out her mouth and who she was thinking about at the time,

"Ange."

Sora didn't know why she used her friend's name but it was too late to take it back.
