(Network) About Igor-san...

I've had a question I've been meaning to ask about him for some time now, but I was too nervous to ask... but I'm going to now!

Why does his voice sound so different? Is it just me? It's so strange, it's almost like he's a different person...

Truth be told, I don't really know much about Igor-san, but it strikes me as kind of odd...

Not that it's necessarily a bad thing of course! It just stood out to me. Perhaps the Igor-san in my world is different somehow?

You're not the first person to mention his voice sounding weird. Is he somehow not supposed to sound like he's eternally about to keel over and die of asphyxiation?

well, I already don't trust the one here. hard to think of another one being somehow worse

Oh, has the Igor here let you come and go as you please? Get out on good behavior, maybe?

[personal profile] rookandhound 2024-08-02 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
does the motive really matter when you're a piece in the game either way?

Different how? I've never met him before here.

[personal profile] asaqueenshould 2024-07-31 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. That's odd. I would guess one of the two isn't the genuine article, in that case, especially if the other conversation holds true.

Sounds like this Igor guy is in a cognitive jail or something.

I'd imagine so. It won't be easy, but what in these situations is easy?

If they can't get away from this fucker, don't tell them.

I have to agree. It could potentially put you in even more danger, or them.

It may very well be safer that they don't know, at least until you're in a better position to support them with whatever steps they want to take against him. They also may not believe you if you just drop this bombshell on them.

If there's a more subtle route to prod them toward seeing the truth on their own, that might be a good course of action. It'll take longer, but it'll be more organic.

I see. So you've met him, then.

I'm sorry to say that the man you've met is not Igor at all, but rather a malevolent entity born of humanity's desires named Yaldabaoth. He invaded the Velvet Room, drove out or imprisoned its defenders, enslaved those he didn't, and turned its abilities towards the end of bringing about his own apotheosis.

If there is an opposite number for you, a Persona-user who might have been a Wild Card but now lacks that power, it's likely that person has been used and manipulated by him in order to rig the game against humanity.

He is also what lurks at the bottom of Mementos, encouraging humanity's worst impulses and feasting like a tick upon them.

Do not trust him under any circumstances.

A wager made with the master of the Velvet Room on the fate of humanity, one he immediately rigged in his favor by assuming control of the Velvet Room and turning its potential agents into his own. In my timeline, those agents were Ren Amamiya and Goro Akechi, though I wouldn't be able to speak for yours.

Caroline and Justine... they are both a half of my sister, Lavenza. He did something to her that caused her being to fracture, only barely surviving and forgetting entirely who she was, which I suspect he did because he still needed an Attendant to make use of the Velvet Room's capabilities.

Would you consider giving people the ability to trap others inside cognitive jails the sort of thing this imposter would be capable of?

We found an offshoot of the Velvet Room and a couple of attendants willing to help us, but we're not exactly dealing with the typical circumstances. We do have access to Mementos, though.

The depths of Mementos are very similar to the very phenomenon you're describing.

I would say that it certainly seems like his modus operandi to do something like that, but given the disparities between timelines, it's difficult to predict exactly what lies in store for you.

Lovely.

I wasn't expecting exact predictions, but thank you. It's a data point, and that's something we can build from.

I've noticed this, too! I've assumed that this Igor is just a different version of him, but it feels like there's something else, too. I'm sure the differences between our Igors and this Igor are similar to the differences between ourselves and the other versions of ourself here.

Maybe it's better not to learn the full truth...

He is. Though, what brought you to the Velvet Room? I don't remember a Violet from my world.

I see... at the very least, you'll learn more about the Red Eye here. Probably more than you'd like if you dig for long enough.
