Naoya walks into the bar and sits down on a stool. "I would like something to drink please." he said, as he thought to himself about the nexus, thusfar.

Having walked for quite a while, Shantotto finally arrived to what seemed to be.... a shop? A bar? She'll certainly find out soon enough. Opening the doors with a light blast of wind magic, she enters. "O~hohohohoho! Caught unaware by my stunning arrival? Such heedlessness is ill conducive to your continued survival!"

*Aki waves to Clerval who goes over to Naoya and gives him a menu* Clerval: What would you like to drink, Sir? *Meanwhile Aki notices Shantotto* Be careful, some things might break here. *Aki puts her hands on her hips and stands up* Well good day, I say. Welcome to the Velvet Room bar, were today we also sell gemstones.

Naoya pretends he did not notice Shantotto, but quietly cringes as he thinks to himself about this strange person that entered...he did not turn around yet, not wanting to provoke the newcomer. "Oh, I would like some..." he said to Clerval, only Clerval heard what he said about his drink, the rest don't seem to know what it is.

"Certainly a guest of my repute deserves a more fitting salute!" But Shantotto didn't really care much. It was still too early to pick fights with the locals. She instead walks towards the counter. "I'm curious as to what those might be, so please, do enlighten me." She says, pointing to the gemstones. It is a well known fact that a good magic staff requires quality materials. And Shantotto would never shy away from an opportunity to gain more power.

Clerval: Of course, Sir. *He bows before going behind the counter and making hte drink* *Aki points towards the first row of stones* The first stones are magic enhancing stones, Red for Fire etc. So they increase the strength. The second row increases stat effects and about the third I am actually not sure yet, I still have to research them.

"Very well, give me all of the first row. With these, I'll put on quite a show!" "But you speak of research, yes? I dare say I may be of use before I egress."

/I have a bad feeling about this/ *Aki puts all of the first row stones in a bag* Do you have an Idea what they could be used for? Because I still wrap my head around it. You do look like you would be good in research.

"It's only natural for a scholar such as I. Now tell me, where did they lie."

*Aki points to another seperate table aside of the counter* These are some of the ones, I have no clue about what they could be. I found these gemstones on the missions I do, so I didn't had the time to look at all of them.

"Being new to this realm i know nothing about the technique here. Would you be so kind as to show me a few things, dear?"

I see so you are new to the Nexus. *Aki lets out a sigh of Relief* So Magic you may know about come in a diffrent form in this world. *She summons her Persona Chicot and sits on his shoulder* There are Persona Users like me, who use magic with these creatures, but they are also people who just use magic normally. So basicly these stones would probably depend on the users specific powers to use them. This is what I deduced, I tested the row I give you and they gave elemental boosts. So anything else you need to know?

*Colton after doing who knows what. Soon enters the Bar to relax a bit and to maybe modify his weapons but after entering the place he sees Aki's persona* "I cant go one day without finding something new about this world and its people" *Colton said to himself*

*Clerval brings Naoya his drink and then goes to Colton* Welcome to the Velvet Room bar, sir, what can I do for you?

"Hmmm... A power quite like that of a summoner.... I need to get as much info as I could garner! Now, could you tell me more about this world? This is getting really hard.

*Colton looks at Clerval* "Um, Do you have any E Tanks. I don't think you do but im good if you dont. Im just here to relax and to upgrade my weapons"

Well sir, I don't know if we can provide these services, upgrading weapons here work diffrently. Mostly because we use demons to create and upgrade weapons. But for relaxing we can provide food drinks and games here. *Aki meanwhile gets of her Persona* Sure. Basicly the Nexus is where dimensions meet. I haven't seen everything of it, but all sorts of new People get brought here from other dimensions. I can understand you, Shantottos rhym speak patterns are pretty hard. I play dissidia Nt and I am impressed how much rhyms she does.XD

"Ok" *Colton would go sit down near a table*

"That sounds familiar. I've lived through a situation that was a bit similar." She grabs the bag with the gems, already thinking what manner of staves she would make with them. "How much do I owe you?"

Oh really? I wish I could travel one day to another Dimension. Such adventures sounds lots of fun. *Aki smiles and gets of her Persona* *Clerval brings a menu to Colton*

"Thanks" *Even though that he does not really need to eat or can eat normal food, he was going to buy some food for the resistence and some other stuff. Colton would look up from the menu to see Aki and Shantotto*

technically, shantotto is smaller then you. " Trust me it was no fun at all. Though I managed to make my escape using my brawn. Now how does one acquire a... persona?"

*A woman, looking to be in her young twenties, in a stylish, if plain, black outfit and glasses enters the bar. She looks around, surprised for a moment, then merely confused.* "Huh? This doesn't look like the nose room. It's not moving anywhere." I hope that's acceptable. I'm still new to this formatting thing. And might be assuming a bit much by the name of your bar.

A Persona can be aquired in three diffrent ways from what I know. Either you evoke the potential to have one. I myself required it by facing my weaknesses in form of a Shadow and lastly others had a rebellion against a Shadow and evoked it. So it is something that comes from heart. *Clerval meanwhile aproaches the new guest* Welcome to our bar, how may I help you? No worries, the velvet room bar is mostly relaxing

* A boy with ocean blue hair noticed the women noticing that she was confused But he swiftly backed out the door* " Hm Aki's got a bar..." he never really knew Aki and just presumed that it was just a part time job

he walked in maturely and sat down " can I get whatever you recommend" he said wondering what it would be

*Colton would look at the new people who have entered... maybe he could make some new friends*

Of course. *Clerval nods to the blue haired boy and brings him a non-alcoholic tropical drink, which looks like an Island* I hope you enjoy.

"You imply some sort of weakness is needed, in order for one to achieve it"

A bar, huh? I guess some things never change. *She finds the nearest possible seat to sit down at. Looking the place over again.* You can bring me something weak, I suppose. Since I'm a guest here.

It kinda is. My Shadow was like a Personifikation of Greed and Despair. As i still lived on the Street and didn't know how to earn enough money to live on my own. I had to accept this Desperate being to gain my Persona. Acceptance plays a big part in this. *Clerval meanwhile brings the woman a cheery flavored drink* Here you go. If there is anything else let me know.

*Colton wounders if he should go talk to one of these new people since none of them are going to start talk to him any time soon*

"O~hohohoho! By Altana's Grace, they might as well hand it to me on a silver platter if that's the case !"

*Aki looks a bit confused at Shantotto* You say that so easy, it is still painful vor me to just think of my shadow. Wouldn't it be for the Person I love her voice would have still tormented me. And without my Resident Clerval I wouldn't have defeated it. But I think your confidence is a good thing against them.

Thank you. Oh, my name is Mariko Kusumi, by the way. *The woman, Mariko, looks at the other patrons finally, though she doesn't say anything until she sees Colton.* Oh, you're one of those Rowbots, aren't you?

"I am merely stating a fact. I didn't overreact. " Shantotto quite boldly affirms her might. She is known for her bold and headstrong tactics so her confidence is nothing to be surprised by. "Still, I don't seem to be able to do it like you do. Now tell me the trick without further ado" Shantotto, eager for power, is ready to do anything to get her hands on her own Persona.

After a while he decides to down the drink " that was..... refreshing thanks" he said happily

*Colton looks at Mariko* "Um, well yes and no... im what's known as a reploid, a kind of android with a complete free will and thought processes comparable to those of humans... but my kind of reploid which I dont really think are even reploids since they don't have any free will are called Pantheons, there are different kinds of pantheons..."

*Aki sighs* Sadly that was all the information I have. I can't tell you more than what i know. *Aki leaves into a Room at the back of the bar, while Clerval still takes care of the guests* I have to sleep, you guys can continue without me. Bye.

" my brain hurts*" malachite said to be funny

"I shall take my leave then. Keep your spirits high and, in good supply." She then casually strolls away.

A Rep-loid, huh? You sound weirder than the Anti-Shadow Rowbots. .... Do I have to punch you mercilessly, too?

"What, no... my god... some people to hard to expand stuff to"
