[Again, you are asleep and dreaming. And again, you find yourself visiting the Velvet Room.]

[But this time both the chair and the space beside it are empty; everything is still and silent, as if the elevator's come to a stop and the residents simply got off at their chosen floor. The music is still playing, though its source remains just as unseen.]

[Upon the table are two things--a card of your own personal Arcana, whatever it may be, and a note:]


To our esteemed visitor:

Forgive us for not greeting you in person, but we all have obligations to be seen to elsewhere at the moment. We hope that you will understand.

When last we met, my master told you that you would soon be able to enter and leave here of your own free will. Look before next the moon shines brightest for that opportunity to present itself--until then, take this as a gesture of good will and of my own elation at the prospect of again seeing you grace our presence.

-Elizabeth


[A few moments pass...perhaps long enough for you to read the note over again, or to examine the card Elizabeth left for you.]

[Not long after, you again wake from the dream--but in your hand is the specific tarot card that was on the Velvet Room's table, and with it comes a vague feeling that it is specifically yours.]


[note: These cards are such that if they're burned, torn, destroyed, or somehow lost, they'll reappear the next morning on the nightstand in your assigned hotel room. Even if you don't currently live there.]

*Allen's much recovered from his last post, although he once again looks like he fell asleep at his desk. But of more interest is the card he's holding and inspecting curiously.*

Well, I guess this cuts out the possibility that that room was some kind of illusion. It actually seems almost like an Encephalon dive, from my world, but that's beside the point. I think if we want to really get to the bottom of things here, this Elizabeth and her master are our best bet, even if I don't think we should trust them completely. I know a lot of people are probably still annoyed about that last event, but getting confrontational about it now is just going to hurt us in the long run if it turns out that they really were just trying to teach us something.

But aside from that, does anyone have any idea what these cards are about? It feels so...personal, but I doubt I'm the only one that got one. Do you think it has something to do with us entering the Velvet Room on our own, or something else? Personally, from the wording of the letter, I'm not entirely ready to rule out the possibility that it could be both.

(I'll be busy most of tomorrow and Sunday and all of Friday and Saturday, but I wanted to go ahead and get this up now since this is something he wouldn't have waited to address.)

"Lovers"...? Oh, did anybody else get the same card? What do you think it means?

As for people who didn't, what did you get?
