[Context: this network post]

Fatalis returns! This creates three opportunities for residents of the Velvet Room.

A. You arrive while his body is regenerating in the middle of the Velvet Room. This is more a mingle prompt to allow your characters to talk about Fatalis's return without him being really back yet. Interestingly, if asked, the attendants of the Velvet Room will reveal that it is not the fabrication of his new body, but instead, standard regeneration after death. He apparently died minutes after getting his new body.

B. Fatalis wakes up in the Velvet Room. Anyone there has an opportunity to talk to him.

C. You find Fatalis at the table of a restaurant in Tokyo, casually enjoying a meal.

[Network] Important PSA about Fatalis

[Backdated to one day before this entry.]

Hello everyone.

I'm writing this message because considering the impact Fatalis had on everyone I think you all have a right to be informed.

As you probably know, after our fight with Fatalis, I ended up sealing him within me. Rest assured, he is not at risk of escaping. But his lingering consciousness has been negatively affecting me, in worse and worse ways over time.

I have consulted Igor about this, and we have decided to give him a new body - without any powers. His essence would remain safely sealed inside me, but his consciousness would be remotely controlling this ordinary human body made by Igor. This should be able to stop him from pestering me from the inside.

The process should be done some time tomorrow.

Thank you for your understanding,
Nox

Somewhere deep in Mementos, something shifts. Shifts and dislocates and erupts from a hemorrhage in the not-flesh of the underworld. Breaks free like a bone splintered through the skin, like bile wretched up through the mouth, like pus from an infected wound.

It isn't supposed to be here.

It is, all the same.

It takes the form of an Akira/Ren/Joker, covered in bruises and blood in clothes that are a few sizes too small for it, golden yellow eyes glowing; around its hands and feet are unbreakable shackles that the veins of Mementos yanks as they please. Intermittently, it gnaws on its insurmountable bindings, making no progress but trying anyway like a misguided oroboros snake.

It has to.

It must.

Its teeth crunch against steel, like a wild animal. It nurses its wounds mournfully, like a wild animal.

And it hates, sad and lonely and feral, like a wild animal.

It is strong. Its presence will be immediately obvious to anyone with the capabilities to scan or evaluate or sense Mementos; it growls in the mind and scratches against surveillance. It radiates a pulsating, suture-filled tangle of emotions, heated as though inflamed and guarded as if vulnerable.

> Approach, but only if you are aware of the potential danger.

[Somewhere, in the normal world, Akira "Morning" Maruki sneezes. Huh...I wonder if there's dust in here.]

[OPEN] Awaken

SUCKER
Get the fuck out of my head
He awoke with a start. Something had changed- some aspect of the room that had, entirely silently, dragged him from the uneasy sleep he'd managed in his father's office. A subtle shift in temperature- the air cooler, fresher, the scent of tobacco and the distant tang of shimmer, the acrid notes of the industrial smog- all gone. His head was killing him, but that was expected, given how much he'd drunk last night. But, most alarmingly of all, there were people here. He could hear them.

If your enemy thinks they have an advantage, let them go on thinking so for as long as possible.


He didn't immediately move or give notice that he was awake. Seconds were spent taking stock. They hadn't disarmed him, hadn't taken away the gun still digging into his hip, nor the blade strapped to his back. Nor, when he felt for it, the Weapon, humming gently in his lap because he hadn't dared let go of it. Hadn't taken the bottle out of his hand, even, which was a feat and a half. It was like the couch had been moved without disturbing him, not even slightly.

So, a kidnapping. A kidnapping by people who didn't need to restrain him. Not one of the barons moving in. Then who?

Just two. An old man... and a child. Be cautious, Crow. They're either very stupid- or very dangerous.


Yeah, well, so am I, he thought.

In a movement that left a violet blur in the air, he rose, flinging the bottle like a missile at the old man's face, hand diving into his holster to rip free his pistol as he darted to the side, taking aim, ready to fire-

But the thrown bottle never hit its target. The little girl, with her blue dress and heavy tome under one arm, had somehow moved- reacted- as fast as he had, and caught the damn thing bare-handed, inches from the old man's nose.

What the hell?

"Welcome to the Velvet Room," she said, icily. "Please do not try that again."

PLAYGROUND
What brings you to the lost and found?
Crow staggered through one of the doors- he didn't care which- and stepped into a night full of neon, standing stock-still for a moment. There were people here. Only humans, which felt innately wrong, but so goddamn many of them it was impossible to count.

Only... that information board had said they weren't real. The only people here who were, were somehow a bunch of people around his age. Too damn many who apparently had been... him. Him, but from alternate timelines. How the hell did that even make any kind of sense?

In his distraction, he stepped forward- and into someone he hadn't seen. Immediately he stepped back, tensing- and managed a muttered "Sorry. Didn't see you and I'm having a really shit week."

WILD CARD
Your choice
One of the above prompts not grabbing you? By all means, DM me here or on Discord and we can work something out. Or if you have a particular idea, just reply with it, I'm easygoing.

The sun is starting to set when Makoto gets out of bed. It's been a while since he's done much at all, he should probably run some errands.

You may find him.

A) At Iwatodai Station

Here you may find him on his phone, looking through the recent Network posts or scrolling through his music playlist while he waits for a train.

B) At June's

After he's done in Iwatodai altogether you may find him looking through vegetables at the Inaba superstore. He's fairly sure the fridge in his apartment is running low.

C) In Akihabara

Here you may find him looking at laptops. He's only had his phone in a while, but having something to play games on to pass the time couldn't hurt

Maruki and I have found a nice space to set up a nursery.

It's got a comfortable amount of space and I've added a chair and a speaker - since music is supposed to be quite important for growth, according to studies. I'm already looking forward to taking care of them in here, even with the inevitable hard work.

It'll be my first foray in quite a while raising something that isn't an AI! ʱªʱªʱª (´ᗢू`∗)

I'm sure they'll keep me quite busy.


All of that said, I've never furnished a nursery before. Any advice on furnishing the space would be appreciated.
