[Network] Conducting a survey

Just for my own curiosity.

Ages of everyone and how long you've been here. Apparently some of you have returned, so who's done that and come back?

Mishima Gets Isekai-d: Welcome to the Velvet Room! [open]

[number_one_phan]

“Oh come on, how did I manage to lose him this time?” Mishima pouted to himself as he continued down the alley he swore he saw Akechi disappear in. He must have gotten turned around somewhere though because the only door he was able to pass through lead him to a mysterious room decked all in blue and in the center sat a strange man with a disconcerting grin on his face.

“Velvet Room?” He parroted back, not really understanding what all of this meant. “W-wait between dream and reality?” His voice cracked in a way that made him cringe. Did he hit his head or something? He wasn’t sleeping just a minute ago… “But you don’t understand, sir! I have to get back right away. There is something important I need to do!” He tried explaining, but the mysterious man only chuckled at him and explained he should focus on making ‘bonds with others’, as if any new bonds could possibly outweigh the bond between him and Kurusu.

This was getting him no where, so after another minute of shock. “I need to get back out.” He repeated, turning to the door he had come through only for him to end up in the same exact room! Ok, he definitely had to be dreaming. If that was the case he didn’t have much choice but to go through one of the offered doors. But which one?

He hesitated before the row, but ultimately walked through the one that seemed most familiar. He couldn’t say why one door in particular felt that way, it was just a gut reaction. Kurusu had said he needed to follow his instincts more, rather than ignore them.

Suddenly Mishima found himself back in the familiar streets of Shinjuku. “Thank goodness.” He let out a relieved sigh. Before he even took a breath in again he had his phone out, checking to see if he had missed anything dire. But no….no messages still. That was probably a good thing. Next he moved like clockwork to check the Phansite, in case anyone had a problem the Phantom Thieves absolutely needed to look into. It wouldn’t load. He refreshed the page, still nothing. Mishima sighed again, this time in annoyance as he was forced to go into his settings to turn off the wifi. There wouldn’t be anything he was connected to out here, he needed his 5G. But there was no 5G, there was no signal at all.

He let out a shameless scream.

How was he supposed to run the Phansite if he couldn’t get signal in the most well connected city in the country? He turned his phone off and back on again as he hurried towards home. Still no signal. Now though, the tech addicted teen noticed a new app on his home screen. One he knows he never downloaded himself. Curious, he opened it and was officially welcomed to the MetaNav.

From the looks of it, it was some sort of directions app but one that oddly seemed more focused on the bonus chat functions it had to offer. As if it was trying to be a message app as well. Oh well, at least it loaded quickly.

[Hello? Sorry new to this app v_v||| is anyone else in Tokyo experiencing a signal outage? This app works, but nothing else will]
