Congratulations! You're now the proud owner (or parent?) of an egg.

All residents of the Velvet Room will find an egg next to them when they wake up today, or, if they don't sleep, they'll blink or look away and find it sitting beside them. A simple card rests beside it, bearing their name in elegant calligraphy.

The egg is about the size and shape of a goose egg, but colored a pale, sparkling blue reminiscent of the Velvet Room's butterflies. It weighs less than you might expect, but it's warm, and now and then you feel something move inside it... or is that just your imagination? You don't need to carry it with you everywhere, but if you try to abandon it entirely, it'll return to your home to wait for you again. It's completely indestructible and impossible to crack.

Igor and the attendants of the Velvet Room refuse to answer questions about the egg plague, or even give cryptic hints. The most they'll do is talk about how much of a mystery the world can be. The attendants seem pretty pleased about something, though...

After a day of being perplexing, alarming, endearing, amusing, or whatever other reaction they might inspire, the eggs finally crack at the stroke of midnight. Their broken shells turn to glimmering blue light and vanish, revealing...

...an orb of your character, in the style of Gorbs and Jokorbs, or any other orb you've seen on TV. This one, though, is a normal orb size (small enough to fit easily in the palm of your hand) and exhibits no signs of life or sentience. It's nothing more than a little round plushie that looks like you. Unlike the egg, it can be destroyed or abandoned, but how could you do such a thing? Look at its little face.


[[ Happy April Fools' Day! Enjoy this small event gifted to your characters, or inflicted upon them, by powers unknown. Definitely not by Igor, and especially not because a certain one of his attendants thought of it. ]]

On the morning of August 9th, everyone will receive an invitation to a special get-together on the Nav.

It reads, "In honor of a year of bonds and irreplaceable memories, you are humbly invited to celebrate amongst your community. Dress as you like, and take pride in your personal progress. We even have awards to celebrate the tremendous growth of our residents."

Those who pass through the Velvet Room today will find themselves in a wide, grand ballroom not unlike the Halloween Party. There's a grand buffet of all manner of foods, both simple and lavish, as well as a multi-tiered cake with a plastic number 1 on top, such as you see on birthday cakes.

A wall can be found with a list of awards for characters and corresponding medals and trophies for them to take, should they so choose, such as Most Improved, Kindest, or whatever suits them the most—or perhaps they've received no award at all.

Bright and obnoxious banners and decorations hang overhead that say, 'HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!'

There's a dance floor, chairs for sitting and enjoying the atmosphere, and no shortage of activities, from a ballpit full of Gorbs, Rorbs, and Hee-horbs to a number of quirky arcade games and miscellaneous activities. Pin the nose on the Igor? Whack-a-Shido? Feel free to make up your own shenanigans.

Who knows? Perhaps you'll even meet a few unexpected guests.

[OOC: Happy anniversary, everyone! To celebrate, have a cute party mingle. We'll also have a thread where guest characters can show up. This is a great way to invite friends who may wanna see if they click with the community or to throw in characters just for fun, if you so choose.]

The Velvet Room Dressing Room is an invite-only Dressing Room RP centered around the Persona series. Canon, AU, CRAU, and fandom OCs are permitted. Characters of any amount of screentime in-game are also welcomed, as long as they fit within the Persona setting (e.g. the girl crushing on Mitsuru, the kid from Kanji's Social Link, etc).

The OOC Community for non-RP chat, event and muse suggestions, and anything else OOC can be found here. Please join and intro yourself there! We also have a community Discord, which members can gain access to by PMing the mod account. Because we are invite only, membership to the main DR community is pending mod approval.
