The Velvet Room
This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter.
Welcome.
Ah hello again Igor it's been quite some time hasn't it?
... WHy am I back here...
Nigga, get yo fake ass out of here. You ain't part of no goddamn rehabilitation.
i can only read op's name in kawakami's voice!!
That's what I want to know.
That's cool but where are Nameless and Belladonna? I haven't seen them in years and I miss them.
I am delighted to make your acquaintance again.
Fake he says? The guy who opens with welcome to my velvet room really? Come on I know what you really are... Yaldabaoth!
OOC: Dun dun DUUUUUUUUUN!!!
My servants have been taken by people who possesed the wild card.
FUCK, I'VE BEEN DETECTED
They wanted to explore the world outside the Velvet Room.
Uh, I don't remember taking any of your servants.
For real though this account was like just made, how has no one thought to take the name Master until now
No shit sherlock we knew that for a while. So what's it gonna be? A drawn out fight or you going to just back down?
I'm sure we will be able to help you on your journey without them for the time being.
Well as long as I can get new Personas without having to farm cards I'm sold.
How was the name Persona not taken from day 1.
It is a mystery for the ages.
Hibiki, you don't really look like the one i know from Devil Survivor.
How did you enter the Velvet Room, are you my new servant perhaps?
This thread invokes the idea that Margaret may have been a more apt name choice for my account.

I'm glad you are here, your advanced tactics helped my last pupil in his rehabilitation.
Wait how do you know that Hibki Igor? I didn't know you were involved with that whole mess.
Wait, I knew about Elizabeth leaving the velvet room but when did Margret leave?
I know everything that concerns my pupils.
inb4 someone makes an account named ThatOtherHibiki
I'm delighted to know the experiences the lower Hifumi shared with Akira were useful to members of the true meta world.
They all had to leave to fight. Thus they explored the world outside Velvet Room.

WHERE IS MY PAY?
Labrys needed their help too.
Um what were they fighting? It sounds like my kind of thing honestly.
Where have you been all this time, my assistant.
Wait which one of us is the you you're referring to?
@IamThou
I am a Shadow. The true self.
Dammit Hibiki is this you wearing a costume?
@Tatsuya Your fate has been done, you don't need to worry for the matters of the metaverse anymore. You have done well to come this far.
Those that lack ego have no place in the velvet room.
You know I-
I knew someone would take that name as soon as I said it, but I expected them to use it for the DS Hibiki.
Props for doing something unexpected.

YOU TOOK ALL THE MONEY THE PRISONER PAID FOR THOSE PERSONAS. I HAD TO WORK MY ASS OFF CLEANING THE TOILETS OF RANDOM PERVERTS WHILE WEARING AN EMBARASSING MAID COSTUME.
I mean I try. And- uh- I have an ego. Probably...somewhere...
Heh I would sit it out but things keep coming my way. And besides I never did lose my power so I've been hunting all kinds of weirdness since we last met.

As for you shadow I think it's time to say your bit so we can take you down.
Honestly I have such an overwhelming ego maybe it gave the shadow a bit
A wandering persona has came to us @ThatOtherHibiki , im going to add it to the compendium so you can use it for your fusions.

YOU KNOW WHAT SCREW YOU I AM NEVER WORKING FOR YOU AGAIN. I AM GOING TO KEEP THIS BOOK AND I WILL GIVE PERSONAS TO THOSE IN NEED.

GOODBYE.
I don't think that's how shadows work Hibiki. Anyways if we're not fighting I need to get some rest see you around.
@IamThou I already granted you permament youth, you come here asking for more? Then you need to work as my assistant again.
Don't even try to tell me my fate is done yet, Igor. I can already feel that I'm probably going to be dragged into another P-1 tournament.
Compendium is useless outside of Velvet Room , as it's the only place where you can summon personas with it.
Having trouble with your new assistants, Igor?
@Yu-Narukami I'm sure Rise will ask you to join another Love Meets Bonds Festival . I can see that clearly.
...I wish you hadn't told me that...
I'm sure she is just angry that i decided to take Justine and Caroline into the Velvet Room as my assistants recently.
Midnight Stage really is a marvelous place isn't it?
Seems, like you have trouble hanging on to assistants.
Whoa whoa whoa! I'm going in a book?! Can I not though?
No, the midnight stage is a terrifying place I don't want to go back to...
@ThatOtherHibiki I'm sure someone will soon pay to let you out...
Sorry are we just ignoring me and... Me... Now?
... To brutally kill you for one of their fusions.
@Hibiki What is it that you search in the Velvet Room. You have yet to awake to your power.
Uh...me...can you help me please? I don't wanna be executed!!
@ThatOtherHibiki You can always anwser a call and form a pact with Metaverse user. I'm sure @Hibiki will need that soon.
Fufufufu! Indeed, it will be a marvelous reunion when that time comes. I bid thee all adieu!

Nyahahahahaha!

{Runs out of the Velvet Room}
Your other self is kinf=d of weird, and this is coming from someone who's seen a lot of other selfs.
I don't... Understand. What's going on? Someone explain!
Ooooooh! This is the Velvet Room huh?
This place is not limited by the boundaries of the real world.
Uh, Klib, how did you get in here.
@Hibiki Don't worry , i will watch over your rehabilitation.
There was a door? Am I not supposed to be here? I mean...I can leave?
I believe my rebel assistant @IamThou is letting people in.
I mean, I'm more surprised. Usually, only wild cards are allowed in here.
It's no problem thou, i have cells for everyone.
I preferred the limousine.
The rule doesn't apply to my assistants.
And Klib looks like a good one.
I always knew I'd end up in prison some day...but I didn't think it would be of my own volition, and accidentally.
Huh? Yes, good totally good! Good how sorry?
I'm.. So confused..
You can always leave, all you have to do is ask one of my assistants to help you do so..
Which means you are trapped in here as i have vacant spot for assistant.
@Hibiki Please put on your uniform and show our guest the way out.
Can't I just leave how I normally do?
Yu, you can go ahead, I need to see Hibiki dressed as a velvet attendant real quick...
It's not a limo anymore.
U-Uniform, the hell are you talkin' about?
OOC: What I wouldn't give for photoshop right now...
Our guests need to know you work here.
They will need your help fusing their personas and itemizing them, you will also help them with the compendium.
B-But I don't work here?! Explain something, for fuck's sake! How did I get here, what is this place, what was that impostor??
You do , you just don't know it yet. Everyone has a fate, and this one is yours.
I'll become your assistant.
And this place, it exists between mind and matter , dream and reality.
I don't think that holds up in court...but then again...mind/matter and dream/reality, law is probably flexible here.
Two assistants? *Thinks* I think that worked out well with Justine and Caroline.
This is where I feel most comfortable for some reason.
Mimi, behave yourself here.
@Persona Who is it that you formed a pact with, Klib perhaps?
I'm just a butterfly, I don't know what you're referring to.
@HifumiTogo please help @Hibiki in getting dressed.
@Persona That's a shame , he definetly has the potential.
I am very eager to make immortal the greatest thinkers of humanity through support of future clients.
I keep telling you I'm not your assistant! C'mon, is no one gonna give me answers?!
Igor, Klib has a persona, he already faced his shadow.
I hope you avoid making private contacts with them, i have lost many assistants this way.
@Hibiki
How do you think I felt when I first got here, he even made me sign a random contract.
We never made a pact, per se, but it did help me overcome myself. So whenever it isn't trying to kill us, he's a swell butterfly.

*places a daffodil on the desk*

Mimi also likes flowers.
@Hibiki What can i help you with then ?
I would remain in the meta world forever if I could.
Which form this Velvet room have though?
@Master
Like I keep asking! What is this place, how did I get here? What was that thing from earlier?!
Don't worry Hifumi , we have all the time we need to teach you everything.
@Aki-Joker Prison , we still didn't decide about the next one.
@Hibiki This is the Velvet Room, it exists bettwen mind and reality. My name is Igor and this is my assistant Hifumi. What you just saw is a persona, a manfiestation of your personality.
A Persona? It called itself a Shadow though...
People who posses the wild card come here to fuse their personas and itemize them. More importantly i call them here to see how their rehabilitation goes.
@Master if goro was here it has to be a court. But without that how about a train station like mementos, we are to much people in here.
Lately personas have been drawn to palaces, they dont know their real form. You have to remind them of it by a discussion.
@Aki-Joker nah, he's got cells for days
And also to drag random high schoolers into fixing world ending events.
@imtherealklib fine by me.
@Aki-Joker I have cells for everyone and @HifumiTogo is doing great job helping , no need to be hasty.
And Hibiki, yes, that was a shadow.
@Aki-Joker
I want to be in the limo again.
@Hibiki Don't try to spread the word about the Velvet Room , even your closest friends won't believe you. @Yu-Narukami knows it well, he can tell you.
They all laughed and called me names.
This doesn't make any sense, all of y'all must be crazy, let me out, I don't want anything to do with this...
I warned you about it.
Very well , Hifumi please help Hibiki out.
Well that's one way to traumatize a person I suppose...
She will wake up thinking it was all a dream, which is partially true.
I'll be sure to keep an eye on her and make sure there aren't any negative side effects.
You can leave by taking a few steps back.
And if she awakens to her power.. Then i will be sure to call her in again.
Nah, nothing too bad, I've been coming here for years. Well, I mean once you've been here once you kinda end up coming back in your dreams almost every night.
@HifumiTogo What is it that you desire for working here assistant?
Being closer to the butterfly is almost all a human with interest in eastern philosophy could ever desire.
@Yu-Narukami You are always welcome, just be sure to not bring Kuma with yourself.
Very well Hifumi, *Hands over the compandium* this will help you in your work.
I'll try not to bring him, but don't blame me if he just wanders in.
I'll go request Velvet Room Hifumi artwork somewhere.
@Yu-Narukami That could end up.. messy.
OOC: I ve been making pop arts for a while so i really like the P5 artstyle.
This room needs more blue.
I'm sorry but purple is my colour of choice.
Can i help you ? My name is Igor and this is my assistant Hifumi.
Nah
I've only been here once
I just wanted to see if it was any different.
Many things have changed since the events in Tartarus.
It seems so.... I'll return if I do need anything.
The door in Paulownia Mall is always there waiting.
Were the past attendants not created by you?
They might be real people, or just projections of human's feelings and dreams. Velvet room is not to be thought of with real world schemes.
I will take that to heart.
Woah what is this place?
Welcome to the velvet room. My name is Igor.
I am delighted to make your acquaintance.
Please to mee you Igor. What exactly is it that you do in this place?
I am helping my guests with their rehabilitation. Althou you look more like a shadow to me, i don't think we will be able to help you.
Yep I'm a shadow and I didn't really ask for your assistance in the first place. I just found a door and decided to check it. Then I somehow ended up up here.
I'm not sure making ramen is part of my assistant's duties ,nevertheless you can try asking her.
A shadow before you has visited the Velvet Room. All visitors end up here for a reason. Awareness of a transcendent universe preceding the one most people know is a rare event worthy of fanfare, human or shadow.
I believe that this shadow is a projection of Mishima's greed as all he searches for is Ramen.
That would be gluttony.
Could be, we would know if he wished to speak.
@Mishimans Anwser shadow, do you wish to posses a lot of Ramen or to eat lots of it.
@Master

You do realize that my obsession with ramen yesterday was caused by a God right? At this point due to his lack of presence I am back to normal for now.

*looks at new tattoo*

Hopefully he won't be able to control me again.
@Master

Not right now I don't
Truly puzzling shadow you are.
@Master

I'll take that as a compliment. I do try to be mysterious in my own way.
What do you seek here shadow?
@Master

Hmmm ...

Actually I'll take the ramen you are offering me right now. In case the God does succeed in controlling me. I don't want to waste any more of my funds on this crap.
I sure hope you don't turn into a Bael or Mammon.
@Master

What I truly desire is to have my empty feeling permanently destroyed. But, assuming that you are similar to Philemon I have little hope of you actually granting my wish.
@Master

I won't...

I'm too innocent of a shadow to turn into a sin.
*Chuckle* I could even still be Yaldabaoth , everything can happen in my Velvet Room.
*Grows wary*

On second thought I don't want you granting my wish. I learned my lesson about trusting strange entities.
*grin*
I'm sure you will find out soon who is worth your trust.
Heh you really are one weird dude ...

Also damn stop making me question my friendship decisions.
I would question a lot of friendships if i were a shadow myself.
What in the world is this place
Welcome.
Are you Igor or Igor? Because I have a score to settle with Igor.
This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter.
I believe the Igor you are searching for is already dealt with.
OCC:Eyh i am trying to be spoiler free for newbies.
Do we usually receive so many guests?
@Master

What is that supposed to mean???

Do you think some of my friends will actually turn on me ...
Did the previous resident call you "Palm-Top Taiga" perhaps?
@HifumiTogo It means a new danger may show soon. We have to be vigilant.
@Mishimans It's all in shadows' nature. You know it best yourself.
Urusai!! Or do you want me to shove your nose in the damn guillotine, baka!!
@Taiga_Aisaka I meant no grudge, its just an assumption.
@Master

You said you would provide me with the truth and now I am more confused then ever.

If you couldn't tell already I don't know jack shit about my own nature.
I'm not here to do your work. I'm here to see that you do it well yourself.
@Master

You and Philemon keep talking about the work I have to do, but heads up I don't know shit about the task. Hell I don't very know where to start with my empty feeling.

Ugh fuck this you just made godly possesion a bit more appealing to me.
Then perhaps some more Ramen can soothe you. *points at the bowl with palm*
*stares at the bowl with longing*

Hmm maybe it will ...

*suddenly the tattoo on my arm glows*

Ack! What the shit just happnened!?
*Chuckle* You know what happened.
@Master

Wait a sec ...

you just tried to make me submit to ramen again didn't you?

I thought you were supposed to be one of the good guys around here.
You won't be able to erase your past so easily.
You have to face your fears in order to defeat them, so I brought them here in this bowl.
@Master

So to prove this point you attempted to force me to give into possesion ???

I have to say your methods towards helping people are total bullshit.
Can I get free Personas?
*has sneer on his face*

Maybe next you can turn me into the sin of gluttony just to teach me and my inner darkness or some other crap like that.
You are not in possession of a wild card. I have no need to go easy on you in your rehabilitation. Your disappearence won't make a diffrence to the outside world.
*about
Man that's fucked up.
Are wild cards like rich white people here or something
@CrowNotGoroAkechi You can ask Hifumi to summon you a persona from compendium for a fee if you posses the power of the wild card.
@Master

Ouch you didn't need to talk about my existence like that ...
I'm sorry chibi akihiko I had no mean to offend you.
@3xcal1bur

Igor obviously gives special treatment to all the wild card while everyone else gets treated like crap.
OOC:They should allow to edit posts for typos eh
Can I have an Arsene? Please?
OOC: They really should half the time autocorrect messes with my posts and the other half I am too tired to notice until it is too late.
Power of wild card allows people to change their and others fate. Without it I can't help you much
You are a slave of your fate.
Ouch...
@HifumiTogo Please make sure to not let critters like this cat enter the Velvet room.
They could make a mess around here. That would be really inconvenient
Can I get 20 Lokis? Please?
WHO YOU CALLING A CAT? I AM A HUMAN!!
Well damn

So basically your powers are so limited that you can't help the majority of people on this forum.

Even Ramengod now sounds more useful then you and I currently hate him
(or a bus...depending on how you look at it)
@CrowNotGoroAkechi for a fee.. Perhaps.
I don't mind buses in my velvet room.
Good. Then may I have a persona? I do have the wild cad, as I can obtain new personas.
card** wtf I can't spell
Talk to my assistant she will summon them for you for a fee.
Who might that be?
You see @Mishimans this cat/bus/human is gifted with the power , he could maybe change your fate.
My assistant is @HifumiTogo
@HifumiTogo can I please have 1 Arsene? Please?
@Master

You have got to be kidding me...

So you can't change my fate but a cat/bus can?

You really are a lod tier god aren't you?
I AM HUMAN!!! HOW MANY TIMES MUST YOU BE TOLD???
@Soupicide I believe she is absent now, let me handle the compendium for the time being. *Flash* That will be 1205Â¥
It is not a mere cat bus. It's a human cat bus.
The records state your persona is Zorro. Only wild cards may select from the compendium.
Cool. *Hands you 2000Â¥* Keep the change. Maybe Mishimans will be nicer when paid.
I am. Morgana happens to be my identical twin. I am Soupicide.
Who becomes a wild card is at Philemon's discretion.
@Soupicide

No I will be an absolute angel once Igor or some other deity finally takes the time to detroyed my internal emptiness.
