[The full moon seems a little larger than usual as it rises in a clear sky on this warm night. And as it rises, some very small occurrence seems to take place.]

[All those in Prospero share three material objects in common: their phones, the card of their personal Arcana, and a key. It is the third of these items that seems to respond to the moon's rising tonight; the small metallic item glows faintly and seems to almost vibrate.]

[If in the course of one's actions it should be brought near the door of their assigned hotel room, a small keyhole will appear that most definitely was not there before. It seems to fit the silver key perfectly, and should one turn it in the newfound lock and open their door?]

[They will not find a hotel room at all. With a bright flash of light, they will find themselves transported to an elevator they may have seen in their dreams, or perhaps they haven't yet experienced it. The music is as present as ever, but only Elizabeth stands in her usual place with Igor nowhere in sight.]

[She smiles in the usual mysterious way, as if she'd expected this all along and you haven't merely stumbled in without warning. In the usual high-pitched and formal yet relaxed voice, she speaks:]

Welcome to the Velvet Room.

[You will immediately find that unlike the past few times, this is no dream. You can move and speak freely--in fact, the expectant stare her gold eyes fix you with implies that Elizabeth expects you to.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Whooooooaaaaaaa! Is this like a VIP club or something?

[tvknpc]

One can think of it as a club reserved for the most important persons, in fact.

[She doesn't seem exasperated by the assumption; in fact, Elizabeth's voice is quite eager.]

[papermache]

Hey yourself. I have a couple questions, but first off, what did you need to pull me over here for?

[tvknpc]

I did not call anyone here tonight. If you used the key gifted to you, then you came of your own accord. Did you not?

[technologic]

Um, hi there. [She blinks and looks around, before looking at the woman again.] You're... Elizabeth, right? Where's, um, Igor?

[tvknpc]

That is my name indeed, miss April Sinclair. My master is, however, out at the moment.

[smothersome]

[Her eyes were quite like Diarmuid's, in some regards. It made him wary.

Aengus' own gaze remained fixed on her as he stepped closer.]

It is late for practical jokes, milady. What is it that thou desires?

[tvknpc]

Jokes...? I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean. Did you not come here of your own will?

[heavenscorpse]

I have a question.

[tvknpc]

I may not have an answer. Or I may have one and simply will not give it. Or perhaps I will give it without restraint.

[soulsborderline]

Oh good.

Now I'm hallucinating, too.

[tvknpc]

Hmm...? A hallucination, you say--I wonder what it is you are seeing. Perhaps I have abnormally large ears, or six arms.

[breatheinthefog]

...What's the point of all of this?

[tvknpc]

Ah, we have a philosopher among us. What, indeed, is the point of life? Why are we here, and do we exist? Or are we simply dust going ignored by the universe at large?

[puppet_show]

[Well this is new.]

Elizabeth, wasn't it? I didn't realize you could take our physical bodies here, too.

[tvknpc]

I did not call you here tonight, and neither did my master.

[friendlost]

...The what room?

[tvknpc]

The Velvet Room.

[needsteaplz]

Ah, um, thank you. I didn't think we could actually physically encounter this place until now.

What exactly is this? A separate pocket dimension of some sort?

[tvknpc]

This place stands upon the border between dream and reality.

[avatardealwithit]

...the what?

[tvknpc]

The Velvet Room.

[rocker]

[ ...Well. This certainly is.. surprising, but even so, David linefaces - as he always does, in the face of everything. Especially since this doesn't seem dangerous, no matter how strange it is. ]

Have you been expecting me? [ his tone is calm and even. ]

[tvknpc]

Of course. We expect all of you, at some time or another.

[parkouring]

[This is definitely unexpected, yet Izaya gets the amusement more than the surprise from this. He looks around the room for a moment before he turns his attention to Elizabeth, an unfaltering smirk decorated his lips.]

Hello.

[tvknpc]

Hello.

[The amount of fucks to be given between these two is probably X divided by zero.]

[devola]

...Ah.

[For a moment she had thought the door would lead straight into Caliban.]

[This? This is much better. As she can actually move, she does. Wandering around the room and giving it a look-over as she converses with Elizabeth.]

Open for business now?

[tvknpc]

We were never closed.

[midgetarchive]

[The Archive looked around, taking note of everything before looking at Elizabeth again] Very interesting. Was this invitation only allowed during the full moon, miss?

[tvknpc]

I believe it's easiest to get here when the moon is full, perhaps.

[scorpiospider]

Velvet Room, huh? Sounds swanky. So what do you do here, huh? Or are you going to blab at me about things I don't care about like Vantas did?

[tvknpc]

You came here of your own will. Whether we speak or you simply turn around and leave is your decision.

[grails_vessel]

Oh! Hello, miss. [Irisviel was holding her card, thinking about it. The Star did seem to make sense, associated with her, but why did she suddenly think about it when the key started to glow?]

[tvknpc]

Good evening.

[kugimin]

...Um, I really was just trying to get to my dorm room.

[tvknpc]

I'm afraid you used the wrong key.

[aesculapianavowal]

[Have a blank stare.]

...So, that's what the key was for.

What's this place? Beyond the name, I mean.

[tvknpc]

This is the realm between mind and matter.

[ecthelion]

[Ein seems to be a little dumbfounded that his hotel room has turned into an elevator.]

...Huh?

[tvknpc]

What part of that was not clear?

[galacticbunny]

I suppose it is pointless to ask for better music.
