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.

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.

Yeah, he sings in the bar sometimes.

[ Nothing to see here... ]

[ oh, this bar lets people sing? probably lets bands up or something. interesting. souji will end that line of conversation to open the door to the bar so terry can go in first and he'll follow afterwards. ]

So, what do you normally drink?

Absinthe cocktails. I like bitter alcohol.

[ He doesn't like bitter foods and normal drinks though... He walks inside while thanking Souji for the open door. He goes to sit at the bar stool and the bartender just looks at Terry like "why are you here again". ]

[ souji follows along, sitting at the bar next to terry. he just smiled at the bartender as he keeps one arm across the counter. ]

I didn't take you as a bitter drinker.

[ but then again, souji doesn't know much about alcohol. hm, maybe he didn't drink that much before everything? ]

I'm not sure what I'd like.

You can start off with something sweeter than usual then. Bartender, I'd like a bohemian absinthe cocktail and a sex on the beach cocktail, all on the rocks.

[ Absinthe again... well, the bartender goes to go make it. Souji's drink will have vodka, cranberry juice, peach shnapps, and orange juice mixed into it, so it's pretty fruity. It'll take about ten minutes to make, so while they wait... ]

It's not like it'll be the only time you come drinking, right?

Are you looking for a drinking partner, Terrence?

I mean... that'd be nice, but a lot of people here are underage.

[ He honestly doesn't care about the law regarding underage drinking, but he knows others do, so. Yeah. ]

I had one, but she turned into a zombie recently.

Mm... sure. It'd be nice to get out of the Velvet Room now and then.

[ he doesn't know much he'd care for drinking but he doesn't see the harm going out for drinks now and then with terry. perhaps it could be a fun time as well, so trying to keep the mood light, he'll say this next line with a small playful tone. ]

I'll get this first night but I expect you to get the next one.

Yeah, sure thing. I'll try not to put a dent in your wallet.

[ Terry smiles and recognizes his attempts to make the mood lighter, so he doesn't want his efforts to go to waste. The drinks are finally here and they get their respective cocktails. Terry's is green, but Souji's is more of a vibrant peach-color.

He holds up his cocktail glass. ]

Cheers.

Cheers.

[ he lifts up his own drink and takes a sip. he looks upwards a bit as he thinks about the taste. hmm. ]

... it's good. Sweet, like you've said.

[ too sweet for souji's taste, to be honest, but he'll keep drinking it so it doesn't go to waste. he'll turn over to bartender. ]

Two more bohemian absinthes, please.

[ he looks over at terry with an expectant look like "you want another of the same drink, right?" it's fine that they haven't finished their first ones. it'll be a little bit of time for the next batch to come out or they can just chug, haha ]

[ Terry stares at Souji wide-eyed when he orders two bohemian absinthes, because... damn, Souji. Here Terry is, trying to ease Souji into liquor and Souji just wants to go big already. Terry finds that pretty impressive nevertheless. ]

You sure about that? It's a really strong drink.

Well, you'll be helping me out, right? One's for you.

[ let's go big or go home. ]

I'll get more later.

If you say so.

[ Terry downs his cocktail fairly quickly. Looks like they're gonna suffer with 90% ABV cocktails very soon. He sighs contently. ]

I thought you'd like something in the middle like cognac or something.

I can always try it after I finish the absinthe.

[ souji's pretty much just going to experimenting with a bunch of different drinks tonight so he can see what he likes. ]

If I get too drunk to walk, you'd carry me back, right?

Well, yeah? Of course. I'm not gonna leave you here when I'm the one who called you out here in the first place.

[ He's not that mean... anyway, their drinks arrive pretty quickly. It's a lot quicker than what Terry thought, so he looks over at the bartender, who just gives him a resigned look that all he'll make are absinthe cocktails as long as Terry is here. lol. ]

[ souji nods as a thanks towards the bartender and takes the drink. he's finished his other cocktail so he holds up the glass, lifting it a bit in terry's direction as a silent "cheers" before he takes a sip. afterwards, he takes a few seconds to figure out the taste and everything, but he lets out a small chuckle. ]

You're right, it's strong.

[ hmm, he wonders how many it'd take before he starts to feel lightheaded. ]

You must have a high tolerance.

It used to be stronger! But I don't have my filter anymore...

[ Though he can still chug drinks and still be relatively sober. Kinda. Terry also lifted the glass a little as a silent "cheers" before downing his own. The bitter aftertaste and the way it burns his throat feels so nice. He's sometimes not sure why he likes it so much when he usually doesn't like bitter things. ]

Most people just drink one and they're out.

How many does it take to knock you out?

[ a drinking contest may begin... ]

You wanna find out?

[ you wanna fucking go souji

bring it on ]

[ let's fucking find out. with that competitive glint in souji's eye, he turns his head towards the bartender. ]

Six more cocktails, please.

[ three for him and three for terry. he glances at terry from the corner of his eyes. are you ready to lose ]

[ Terry also has a competitive glint in his eye. He hasn't had the chance to feel like this ever since he came here. He is so excited for this drinking contest now, despite how this is a Bad Decision. ]

Hope I won't have to carry your drunk self back to the Velvet Room, being all conked out and shit.

I see that they don't teach respect to youngsters anymore. Stay seated, son, I'll show you what high tolerance is.

[ souji is absolutely getting into the character of a cocky older gentleman and he's absolutely having fun with it. he even puts on a slightly deeper voice as he says the previous lines before he takes his cocktail and finishes the rest of it. hm, that sure is a burn and his stomach is not happy with the sudden drop of alcohol that potent but if it bothers him, souji doesn't show it. the bartender (who has probably given up on making any other drink) drops down their six new cocktails. ]

If you ask for mercy, I won't show it.

You're the one that's gonna be begging for mercy, old man.

[ Terry is really enjoying the situation, and appreciates Souji's newfound cocky old gentleman character. It livens things up, that's for sure. ]

The first one who shows signs of being drunk loses. Mister Bartender will help out, right?

[ Keita, the bartender, just ignores Terry but he has no choice but to overlook two potential rowdy customers for the sake of the health of his business. ]

Let's go.

[ He downs one of his drinks as if it's water. The burning sensation that he's familiar with really settles in well. ]

[ the logical side of souji is telling him that this is a very bad idea and there's no way that this would end badly but the other part of souji, the yolo side, tells him to just go for it. he's an eternal(?) being. he's gotta go out and have fun and when was the last time that he has ever gotten into a competition like this before? this is really nice. he's enjoying himself and he's grateful that terry took him out. ]

[ he takes two of his three cocktails and immediately drinks them both which is... absolutely terrible. his stomach was already revolting at the first one but immediately two more? yeah, it's not pleased at all. he does take a second to compose himself and keep on a straight face. he silently switches over to nekogami for that null poison, but lmfao it can't null everything. ]

Where do you live, Terrence? I'll make sure that you get home safely so you don't have to make a fool out of yourself.

[ ... well, he hopes that terry isn't living outside anymore like a literal homeless person. ]

[ omg having nekogami is cheating LMAO Terry doesn't realize that though, since his information on Nekogami is quite outdated... Anyway, he's pretty surprised when Souji chugs two at once. That's some real big yolo energy, what the fuck. Terry is really, really impressed. He nearly scoffs at Souji's question. ]

Some 4-bedroom house. You won't have to know because that'll never happen.

[ Uh-huh. Terry just downs another cocktail. He has one more left. ]

Mister Bartender, I think we'll need two more.
