[What, you thought Kanji could get to sleep before midnight? Those days ended when he got chucked into a TV.]

Okay, three nights in a row's a pattern. Somebody's settin' off the Midnight Channel. I have no idea who it is other than not one of the kids.

Who here has experience with TV world bullshit other than Crow and Raven? There's not much point in doing anything till we at least know who it is, and even then it might be better to just let the dungeon happen so they can work through shit, but still.

After an exhausting time of convincing Ai and Yosuke to slow down and think before tossing Namatame into the TV and letting the Shadows do whatever they were going to do they step outside. Going over the facts of the case didn't seem to get them much besides the missing motive.

Before any other emotionally exhausting shit can take place Rise notices a blue butterfly. A Velvet Room summons perhaps? She follows it to the random hospital room where the blue door awaits. It's less ornate than she's used to.

Poking her head inside, the door practically shoves her in as it closes. "Hey-!" She turns to leave again but the door she entered is gone. Well crap.

Looking around the Velvet Room is a lounge. There seem to be no attendants either. "Margret? Marie?" Doesn't hurt to ask in case they are hiding somewhere. Igor might not be forthcoming with just what the hell is going on after all.

Alright, Alright, this was fine. This was cool. Just vibing in the velvet room. It wasn't like it was his first time or anything. Still felt strange being here though. The doors were a new addition. Not to mention the bulletin board. Which he had yet to make sense of the most he got was multiple Akechis and code names. That was... okay. He was getting good enough at handling very-much-not-dead Akechi back home. They weren't best friends by any means but he would like to think they were on the way to actually pretty solid friends. Most of that was because he convinced Ren to stay.

So, what he had pieced together was: This was a relatively safe place, there's multiple Akechis, and there's doors. What was he supposed to do with this information. He hadn't really explored anything without someone else there, and no it's not because he was afraid, like the cat would like to tease.

1) He was staying in the room gathering the willpower required to explore the outside. But for now he was trying to put together the bulletin board. Sure was a lot of words. Ren could be called Akira, okay, he's got that down. Akechis and Ren/Akiras were together a lot. With how much Ren fawned over him, it wasn't shocking. It was at this point he realized he should probably take notes. He pulled out his phone, surprised to find it kinda worked. "Alright!"

Now back to finding out what was going on. He was scanning it over trying to piece things together. He had expected red strings, but blue worked fine too. He was reading and taking notes fine up until a particular one. "For real?!" He shouted, the first real thing he said in a long minute. "Siblings?"

2)With the courage gathered he stepped into the fifth door, glad to see a version on Toyko he recognised. He traveled around, starting to notice the almost scripted way others interacted. Creepy. He decided to start with the place he knew best. Le blanc. He hoped there wasn't anything out of place, boss would kill if he knew it was. Okay maybe not.

He was just standing at the door, looking through the glass. His hand on the doorknob. He didn't think he'd run into Ren, or an Akira. He just kinda felt weird going in there and not knowing what to expect.

A new door has appeared in the Velvet Room, far more elegant than the rest. Additionally, every Velvet Room guest may find a new notification on their phones, inviting them to take part in the festivities. It is holiday, after all, the perfect time to foster their bonds. So come, bring your most haunting attire, and join the grand masquerade.

Those who come willingly will stumble into an enchanting sight. A grand ballroom, bathed in blue, with appropriately haunting decor. Ghostly apparitions dance through the air. Cobwebs gather up above, positioned just right to add to the atmosphere without making the place look run down. There is a long table topped with all manner of refreshments. A chocolate fountain, punch bowls to spare, pumpkin spice pancakes piled high and for some reason, at least a few bear Goro Akechi's image? Strange. There are other odd assortments of snacks with a Halloween flair, from caramel apples to spooky spider cookies to sushi in the shape of a brain. All manner of treats and entrees can be found, to please children and adults alike.

There are activities aplenty, from apple bobbing to a haunted house manned by friendly faces like Pyro Jacks and assorted Ghouls. A fortune telling table sits off to the side, with a... Gorb, yes, a large Gorb the size of a beach ball, dressed in appropriate costume and eager to tell your future. Accuracy may vary.

If you don't have a costume, never fear. Guests will be granted one as they step through the door, whether by choice or by "incidentally" finding themselves here instead of where they were meaning to be. After all, what's the point in a party if guests hide away?

Now come forth and embrace the season of scares. Perhaps there will even be a few surprises in store...

For instance, some faces otherwise unseen in the Velvet Room until now. In this time of haunting and the macabre, dream and reality drift ever closer. Who knows who you might meet?

(OOC: Party mingle event! May shenanigans ensue. Also, characters who are not yet joined/in the DR fully may appear translucent as ghosts, or have other "not really here" tells - or not - at player discretion. If you are here as a guest, do introduce yourself in the sister OOC Comm post!)

Current Location: the sixth door holding the masquerade
Current Music: beneath the mask

There's a new occupant of the Velvet Room, and if you don't look closely, you might miss her, considering she's wearing... black and blue. But no, it's not an attendant. It's a Detective Prince! No, not that one. Or that one, or even that one. It's the original. Naoto Shirogane.

She looks very confused, and to those who know her well, slightly concerned. Eventually, she starts exploring, and finds her way both to Tokyo and Inaba. Thankfully, at least in her opinion, the Estate is where it usually is, and, well, as empty as it usually is (other than the masses of stuff they never throw out.)

It won't take long before she's less confused and tense, but still curious. Always curious.

[OOC: Want to know what Naoto's been doing/some backstory? Check here!]

It's a few days before Kanji fully processes one of the realities of this weird little place.

Tokyo's right there and doesn't need any money from him. More than that: Harajuku is right there.

He's far too much of a textile nerd to pass up this kind of opportunity.

And so, there he is, poking around the stores with what's turned into a really weird mix of interest and professional outrage. Half this crap would fall apart in like a year, and they normally charge how much for it??? Fucking ridiculous.

Without any proper intention, Ann had found herself back in the Shibuya underground mall. She’d taken in what Igor had said enough, but was a little distracted by, well, everything. Just the afternoon prior she’d been daydreaming about her Tokyo life and returning to Japan, and now here she was. It did feel notably different but she suppressed that feeling, putting it down to homesickness moreso than anything.

First order of business she decided would be to find her friends, her thieves. They’d found themselves in enough weird situations that this barely even surprised her, she just needed their comforting presence in order to collect her thoughts. Heading to Leblanc would probably work best but a newfound nervousness was begging to gnaw at her after being away, instead she walked around the familiar shops, waiting for it to settle.

Kanji's just confused by this whole blue room thing. The... Velvet Room? Didn't Souji-senpai mention something like that once? Well, whatever; he mostly just wants to go home.

And home is where it sinks in that whatever's happening is real enough to take seriously, because his mom's not there.

Okay. That's. That's gonna be weird, but he can work with this. He'd still rather stay at home than anywhere else - it's familiar. And it has all his craft shit.

Once he's had a moment to be weirded out, he might even take some of that craft shit outside for a little project work somewhere. The hill, probably, since it has a nice view.
