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.

→ VELVET ROOM ATTENDANTS

🢒🢒 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.

Because everything we did was a competition. Our family pit us against each other in everything, so we'd have to improve to beat each other... at first.

I started to fall behind, and I never caught up again. Maybe he was getting back at me for all the times I annoyed him... or maybe he liked being the strongest one between the two of us all along. Either way, he'd inflict as much pain on me as he could.

[His tone could be described as level, or perhaps more accurately as - dead. It's something that happened in the past, and he's not really digging too deep into the memories themselves, merely describing the events as they occurred.]

[compendiem]

That... doesn't sound fun.

[ Obviously not for Sasuke, but for Yuusuke too. Why would you want to keep beating somebody you're already better than? Boring. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

He enjoyed it enough to keep doing it.

Is that enough for you?

[compendiem]

People are really confusing sometimes... But yeah, that's enough. Can I see your omamori?

[ It'll be the same process as he did for Rio, summoning Sasuke's Persona when the omamori is in his hand, and asking the snake what skill to upgrade. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[Her word is a soft, haltering murmur, but it's "Regenerate."]

[compendiem]

[ Regenerate... Minato nods. Regenerate 3 it is. He hands the omamori back to Sasuke ]

Here. Are you going to see Souji now? I bet he'd like to hear your hopes and dreams, if you haven't already told him.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Yay, healing. He doesn't look very enthusiastic at Minato's suggestion however.]

...I don't think so.

[compendiem]

...You don't think you'll see Souji, or you don't think you've already told him?

[ Both of kind of concerning, in their own ways. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

I don't think I'll see him.

[compendiem]

...Oh.

[ That's the more concerning of the two options. ]

Okay. The request will be there if you ever change your mind.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Never a great sign when flat out refusal is the worse option between that and... apparently amnesia??]

I just... don't have any to talk about. So there's no point in seeing him.

[compendiem]

It doesn't have to be anything too deep. Just something you truly feel. Something as broad as "I hope everybody here will be okay." is fine.

[not_that_sasuke]

Even if I hope for something like that, it doesn't really cover dreams.

[compendiem]

Do you ever dream of beating your brother?

[ Dream about punching Yuusuke in the face. Do it. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

No.

[Wow, that was a quick reply.]

[compendiem]

What about like... getting a dog? Do you like dogs? Or you're good with just Kurou...

[ This is Minato's dream. He wants a pet dog. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

...That sounds more like your dream than mine.

[compendiem]

Yeah. I'm trying to give you examples in case you can relate. What about a full 48 hours of sleep without being woken up?

[ Minato has lots of hopes and dreams he'll share with Sasuke. Or he can come up with one himself. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

Can dreams really be so simple...?

[It feels like cheating.]

I don't think it's healthy to sleep that long.

[compendiem]

People can have lots of dreams, both simple and grander ones. Souji's nicer than me, so he probably won't be that picky.

[ It definitely is not healthy to sleep that long, but Minato wants to anyways, so he just nods. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

...So he won't ask a bunch of questions about it afterwards?

[He just doesn't think he can talk that much about them...]

[compendiem]

I dunno.

[ He can't promise one way or another, even though he knows Souji will be nice about it. ]

I'm the nosy one. If you don't have much to explain about it, you can just say so. He'll understand.

[not_that_sasuke]

Yeah. I... don't think I can talk that much about it.

[He just doesn't have much to say on the subject - given he barely has any hopes or dreams.]

[compendiem]

It'll probably be fine. Souji's... around somewhere. If he's giving you a hard time, let me know. I'll be in the lounge.

[ He offers this, but Sasuke should know the opposite also holds true. If Minato's ever being annoying, Sasuke can always complain to Souji to set him straight. ]

[not_that_sasuke]

[>Implying Sasuke would ever go to someone else for help when it's such a small issue.]

I'll go look for him there, then. Thanks.
