Isn't that always how this stuff works? [ she grins. ] Oh, right...
So, Velvet Room guests--we all sign a contract, right? Mine, uh... wasn't with Igor, but... do you mind if I ask what yours was about?
[ she has a sneaking suspicion that the terms she agreed to are uh. wildly irregular. ]
no subject
[SO MANY.]
I don't know what my contract with the Velvet Room was, just that I had one...I did one with Arsene so he could lend me his power, but Yaldabaoth claimed he was rehabilitating me, that the state or the room was a reflection of my own state in my heart. I was in a Velvet Jail and dressed up as a prisoner, my arms chained together, with a ball and chain tied to my legs. I'm sure a lot of it was true, but he was trying to control me.
no subject
Mine was... [ with pharos, with ryoji ] with Death, but I didn't know it back then. I was... manipulated? Into going back to Iwatodai, because reasons, and when I got to the dorm... the part of Death in my head was there waiting. In the form of a boy who was... also kinda dressed like a prisoner?
He gave me a contract to sign. I didn't even question it. It just said... "Time never waits. It delivers all equally to the same end. I agree to the statement above, and I chooseth this fate of mine own free will." [ she takes a breath. ] That was my Velvet Room contract. Igor had it later and everything.
A contract with your Persona, though... that's new. Akechi-kun told me a little bit about it? Like it's a rebel's soul or something, facing yourself... I mean, I know Personas and Shadows are the same thing, but we never had to do anything like that. [ welp. ] Some people just had the potential, and if they thought they might die during the Dark Hour, or used an Evoker, they'd awaken. I hear Orpheus and the others talking to me, sometimes, but...
[ nothing like a contract. ]
no subject
[That IS pretty confusing. But those contract words, they'd sound almost downright sinister if he didn't understand a little more about how the Velvet Room operated...and also because he knew of her fate.]
So signing the contract is what caused Thanatos to manifest?
[Because in a weird way it is kinda like that, even if Orpheus was her main persona. At least, Ren seems to think that way.]
When we ended up in our volleyball teacher's palace...his shadow tried to kill Ryuji. That's when my Persona manifested. He said he would give me power to fight back if I accepted.
[He looks back at her.]
How does the Evoker work? Would I be able to use one?
no subject
[ she presses her lips together, thinking before sipping at that drink ren brought. ] But... hmmm, no, I don't think that's what it was. Not really. My awakening let him manifest--he was just a Shadow who was along for the ride. Plus the Shadow attacking the dorm was part of him, so if it was destroyed, Death would reabsorb it. I couldn't control Thanatos back then, anyway, and that... didn't happen again. I had to fuse him way later, and by then, Death was free anyway.
[ at that, she pauses. ]
But I mean... you could probably use one? The Evokers... I'm not really good with the tech part of it, but they stimulate the fear of death in the brain, I guess? They don't have to be guns, Koromaru's was a collar and Aigis's was built-in...
[ wait what did she just imply--no too late moving on ]
If you have a Persona that's not gonna take up the whole room, you wanna try it? [ and she pulls her evoker, holding it out with the grip facing him. ]
