dropkicks him right into the velvet room

[pyrrhicjustice]

[The Velvet Room is now host and occupant to a Goro Akechi who is lying flat on his back. It certainly seems he arrived that way, and he shows no sign of moving yet. His school blazer seems to have been rained on, although in the blue lighting of the Velvet Room it only seems darker than usual.

Maybe once he's been encouraged to move into better lighting, it'll be noticeable that the rain was of a distinctly red nature, but that's for then, and this is now.

Oh, and there's also a blue butterfly flittering nervously at Igor, who seems sad at its presence.

Poke the (not exactly) sleeping Akechi?]

Hmmm... I've only really been to Mementos and a few TV world dungeons in my time here. I suppose you could say it's comparable, but I know the Velvet Room was aware of me beforehand. Igor-san had sent someone to keep an eye on me, but wouldn't grant me access until I proved myself.

[He was very close to doing so before he was brought here! ...So maybe he did, in a roundabout way?

Either way, he'll hover around this other Akechi, chin in hand.]

At least everything here is free. You can be as lavish as you wish without consequence.

[Nowadays his taste in clothes is markedly more expensive than the high end of Junes, but he'll take what he can get, and hope there's nothing odd he'll have to contend with. Trousers and shirts are easy enough to find; he can worry about the rest after that.]

Igor did? [He's multitasking by deciding between clothes and resenting that this kid was noticed so young.] I never met the man myself.

Well, I presume "the Nose" is Igor, given the obvious. I never met him prior, but I met someone who resided within the Velvet Room, who had more or less been assigned to observe me and I suppose facilitate bonds?

[He shrugs, hands in his pockets.]

It was all an annoying state of affairs, watching while those around me obtained special powers to cross over into the TV world, while I had to prove myself to get in. But I did it. I got the power on my own terms.

[pyrrhicjustice]

[Hm. Some of that is far too - familiar.] I can relate. To the frustration. Other people having an easier go of things, when we have to work harder for the same.

But I was never watched, as far as I'm aware... at least, not like that. And you're right. I'd never heard of this TV world before you mentioned it.

I could show you sometime. The entrance is actually in this very store, though I'm not sure if going from being covered in blood to exploring a cognitive world is ideal.

[On the other hand, it did help him bond with Magpie. It just required a terrifying Shadow to make it happen.]
