nightmares

[ When you enter the dream, you're engulfed by darkness until you hear a deep and unfamiliar voice. It speaks in a language you are most comfortable with. ]

The contract has been sealed...

You have agreed to provide the Trickster support
in his journey to oppose fate and seek change.

CASINO
It's filled with a variety of gamblers from talking fish to actual people. Shadows are also gambling? But they're aggressive due to their mass losses. There are several elevators and it seems like the treasure is on the VIP level.

If you choose to enter the CASINO, you may appear outside of the structure or on the first floor in costume and mask. Akira will accompany you in his Joker outfit.

VELVET ROOM
Are you a prisoner? Or a keeper? You can stand behind the bars with Akira, withstand the abuse and rebel alongside him, or on the opposite side—ushered by two wardens and a man with an elongated nose to carry out discipline. Rehabilitation is important.

If you choose to enter the VELVET ROOM, you may appear inside or outside the cell. Your attire will change into prisoner wear or officer uniform respectively.

MEMENTOS (SPOILER)
In the city of Recolle, you notice there's something strange. People walk past the blood red rain and the towering skeleton pieces. The irrelevant become forgotten. The forgotten vanish. Is it your hand that's disappearing? Or is it Akira's?

If you choose MEMENTOS, you'll be in your normal attire or in your underwear. Whichever your character feels less attractive in if you want. Once again, Akira is beside you.

fog

[ Akira has been having a hard time with his nightmares. Some of them he remembers bits and pieces (all useless), but he's thinking a jog in the ungodly time where the thick fog rolls in is a good idea? Unfortunately not... He ends up running away from one of these three tormentors in his pajamas. What's with his luck?

As he looks behind him, he crashes into someone. Sorry. ]

TWIN WARDENS (SPOILER)
Their names are unknown to you, but they're two girls with silver hair with a single golden eye (an eyepatch covers the other). As attendants of the Velvet Room, they have this ethereal aura to them, even menacing as they shoot various skills into the fog.

"Come back here, inmate! You can't hide forever!"

"You're only delaying the inevitable."

IMPERIOUS ANGEL (SPOILER)
An angel appears with an abstract body shape. Wings scaling wide and halo spinning over its head, it spreads its several hands that hold instruments. With the rise of the triangle, the angel rings it with a clear ding. In a matter of seconds, a flash of light magic strikes near.

"I am what humanity desires. Why oppose me?"

You can hear the sneer in its voice.

GOLD PIGGER
This silver piggy bank may seem cute, but it's also massively large and rolls without end. What does stop it from rolling are valuable items. Throw something expensive and it'll take a break to appraise it with a series of oinks. The one in control is a half-fly guy throwing out some mad rhymes.

"Yo yo yo! You think you can just walk into my neighborhood and disrespect me like that, dawg?"

Comments

[browbeater]

The game of your life?

[he sounds a little dubious, and also maybe... concerned, honestly. Akira, what was your life? Unless this was just a joke, designed to shake him off that questioning. Mako leans back in his chair, and folds his arms across his chest, giving him a concerned look, but he's not questioning it just yet.

Honestly, who knows.]

Is this something Ann's going to remember...? I mean,, one of your [phantom thieves]... Er... You know.

[maskreant]

The girls? I don't think so.

[ Because for all he knows, he's the only person that even goes to the Velvet Room in his memories. There are others in Recolle, but... It seems to be special. For him, a special hell. ]

... I don't know about the rest.

[ He's less keen on that, but doesn't voice it. Instead, he sips more of his coffee before something catches his eye. With a squint, he toggles on the Third Eye and ah... The familiar voices are distant.

Looking at Mako, he uses his hands to indicate that the girls are back. Two fingers, then gestures movement from the east. One finger, points to him and Mako, then the back of the coffee shop. ]

[browbeater]

[He's about to ask more, but then he sees Akira's mood shift. He pauses and then glances at the door, and then at his hand motions. It wasn't particularly hard to understand what he was getting at, but the reasoning was still a little lost on him.

Then they're close enough for him to hear.

Fair enough.

He nods, and pushes his chair away from the table subtly. They don't needs to talk to get out of there. And less likely they'll find them.

Unless there's another way they're tracking Akira. He's honestly not sure.]

[maskreant]

[ Annnd they're out of the coffee shop. He's not sure if these apparitions are just haunting their minds or if they're really around, but he doesn't want to take that risk for once. When they duck back into the fog, his lips purse almost about to say something.

They can't speak.. And texting would definitely tunnel-vision them into a screen. It's time to communicate in hand signs.

THE BEST HE CAN with his experience in charades, he asks Mako if he lives nearby. We'll go with two fingers walking, mundane things you would do at home (sleeping, brushing teeth, tracing a makeshift roof), and then point to Mako. ]
