NPC CONTACT

premise ⬥ taken ⬥ faq ⬥ navigation

The Velvet Room exists between the consciousness and subconsciousness. It is inaccessible by characters who do not wield a Persona or have lost their Persona for various different reasons. In fact, its entire existence is limited only to Persona users and to the regular individual, they will not be able to even see the entrance to the room. Although it is stationed primarily in the castle, the entrance of the Velvet Room may also be found in various different locations, such as by the dungeons and the shrine. Sometimes, there may be a "malfunction" and an ordinary door will actually lead into the Velvet Room. Why does that happen? Well... perhaps characters will have to ask the attendants for that answer.

Within the room, two attendants occupy the space. These attendants act as guides and will perform various different duties in order to assist the characters. They will pass on plot information, answer questions, give out requests (with the promise of a reward, of course), forge magic-infused weapons, heal, and such on. Requests, in particular, are given out ICly and OOCly monthly and may be undertaken by any character who wishes to complete them. Please see the first toplevel of this entry for more information.

The attendants may be regularly contacted by entering the Velvet Room and, as a result, players may comment to this entry to interact with either attendant. Players may specify which attendant that they'd like to interact with or allow the mods to choose. These threads may be used towards AC and bonus activity. However, due to the attention-intensive nature of NPC threads, these threads may be quickly wrapped up in order to save time for the mods.

🢒🢒 minato

The attendant you might have to wake up, pretending to be asleep so you have to bother Souji instead of him. His requests tend towards what he wants to do or eat at the moment, but he seems to enjoy seeing the world, though he isn't always good company. Seriously. Go bother Souji instead.

🢒🢒 souji

The more talkative attendant between the two, though he could say some pretty bizarre things. He also seems overly fond of cats for some reason and will unironically go "nya". His requests normally seem to involve taking him out somewhere or bringing him particularly... strange objects.

[ they need those children leashes on everyone so they can try to keep them from hurting themselves but this just happens instead. ]

Try not to eat it all in one go. It should last you the next few days.

[ he'll hold out the bag that contains all the food that he prepared. with a hand free, he'll try to smooth down minato's hair for him. ]

[ lmfao god they're going to have to leash everybody and then hang them from a high tree ]

I have a bag of cereal bars I stole from Terrence just in case. How many days are we staying?

[ He says as Souji does his best smoothing down his hair but it'll always stubbornly stick up in the back. Minato's already peeking in the bag to see what Souji made, if there's anything he can sneak a bite of. It'd be nice to go out and see the world, but there's also something very alluring about a nice velvet couch that'll always draw him back. ]

[ honestly, i can see them just setting the tree on fire and perishing in the flames. nothing is a foolproof plan with these guests. ]

That depends on how long you want to stay out.

[ and how long it'd take to find a mountain lion if there even is one around. souji personally doesn't have a preference for how long they'll be out camping. he wrote that it'd be a few days on the note as a precaution so they can take as long or as short as they want. he'll continue to try and smooth down the rest of minato's hair. he'll never manage to get that back part down... in the meanwhile, minato can find some sandwiches near the top of the bag. he may have one or two. ]

[ laughs, i can imagine that too well, trying to burn the leashes but instead just burning everything down with them

But cool, sandwiches are something he can eat with one hand while he carries the bag with the other, so he gets out his pre-trip snack while exiting the Velvet Room. You know, so he doesn't collapse before they even get to the mountain. ]

Until we find a mountain lion. Or somebody dies back here. Whichever comes first.

[ "A couple days," we'll see which happens first. Honestly, it could go either way. ]

[ at what certain point do the attendants have to keep caring. if the guests keep doing this to themselves, could they really be stopped?? ]

Assuming that we'd even know about it. For all we know, they could burn down the Velvet Room and themselves and we wouldn't be any wiser.

[ and souji follows behind minato, closing the door behind him. they're somewhere in the middle of the mountains and without any idea where to go. hm, maybe they should head uphill? cats like high places, right? vantage points and all that so souji will start to lead up. it's probably some time in the evening right now after minato made that boar meal and souji had to ready everything for this trip. ]

[ Goodbye, Velvet Room, Minato hopes it still exists when they get back.

The moment they step foot outside, Minato starts to regret the trip already, because of course mountains means walking uphill, and it's worse than stairs because there's no level surface to stop and rest, it's just uphill all the time. It'd be easy to just summon Vassago or someone to carry them, but it also defeats the purpose of having a day with just the two of them. Maybe Vassago would scare the mountain lions away, who knows.

Minato puts a hand at the side of his mouth and makes that weird noise that's supposed to be a cat but he sounds more like a fox. Here kitty, kitty, come out. ]

[ souji is doing just fine with walking uphill. it's kind of nice, actually, to do something new(?) asides from just staying inside the velvet room. exploring seems kind of fun. ]

Is that a fox?

[ i tried to find p3 screenshots for the "is that a fox" "it's a cat, dammit" but i couldn't find it, laughs ]

Yeah.

[ Minato answers without missing a beat, and he unsuccessfully meows again although he frowns a little more. ]

I don't really know what a mountain lion sounds like. Sorta like talking with people: you shout into the void and hope something out there understands.

[ This is how he communicates with people, anyways. He doesn't get them, so he says whatever the heck and hope somebody reciprocates.

You know, silence sometimes works just as well. You don't always have to say something. Some people are better as listeners than speakers.

[ ... though in the context of trying to find a mountain lion, that means they can listen for any movements rather than trying to draw it out. ]

Souji... You've met those guys. Trying to get them to talk about themselves is like talking to me.

[ Gestures at Sasuke??? This is why they needed two attendants, Minato can't handle this. It's not like P3 where people spill out your life story even if you couldn't care less and just want to run away the entire time. ]

Haha... I suppose that's true.

[ it's a little concerning tbh. why is everyone like this??? ]

They're all pretty tight-lipped, aren't they?

Yeah...

[ Why does everybody suck?? ]

It's nothing that can be forced though, so... whatever. Give them time and space and see what happens.

[ Maybe it'll take a couple of Shadow Self attacks to get people to open up, who knows, all experiences are learning experiences and the two of them aren't allowed to interfere with the process anyways. ]

[ souji lets out a small 'mm' of agreement. it's true that they won't be able to get any of them to talk but he's going to at least try to force some food into sasuke. he's extremely concerned that sasuke is going to pass out one day or something. ]

[ ... he continues to walk up the mountain, not really breaking a sweat but he looks back at minato. ]

How are you keeping up?

I'm fine. I'll sleep when the mountain lion carries us back down.

[ He's still hanging onto that dream... He's tired and his feet feel like lead, but he can put one foot before the other and not seem outwardly exhausted at all, even breathing and no complaints. ]

...What do you think about installing a ski lift up the mountains?

[ souji will occasionally glance back to make sure that minato doesn't just decide to take a break and nap on the ground. ]

That depends. Who's going to installing it?

[ It's very tempting. ]

Mondo.

[ The guy can build motorcycles, Souji, Minato bets he can build ski lifts too. ]

I'm not sure if he'd be willing to do that for us. He doesn't seem to like me very much.

[ they argued about legs for a while... ]

Somebody doesn't like you...?

[ That's impossible. ]

Well, I don't think that he hates me, but we did have some pretty polarizing opinions on legs.

Does he not like legs...?

[ What sort of opinions do people have about legs anyways?? Legs are great. ]

Not shaved and well-lotioned ones, apparently.

[ aka souji's legs :( ]

He's banned from the Velvet Room until he either appreciates shaved and well-lotioned legs, or builds a ski lift.

[ This is how Mondo dies of poisoning, because Minato is a jerk ]

You'd ban him just for me and my shaved well-lotioned legs? Minato, I'm touched.

[ he puts a hand to his chest dramatically, gasp. ]

Yeah.

[ He would ban people for less. It's not like his bans have any real weight to them anyways, but it's the thought that counts. ]

All legs are beautiful. I hope he gets to learn that someday.

Hopefully soon. You'd want him to build that ski lift soon, right?

[ it truly is the thought that matters. souji lowers his hands from his chest. ]

Let me know if you want to stop to take a break. I brought the tarp so we can sit and lie down.
