Welcome to the Velvet Room

"Yah... I'm getting bored. I'm still gonna go upstairs. Can you just text me when he starts? I'll run back down here." I said to Soap.

 

Soap looked at Chie then turned his head back to where it was."Sure." Was all soap muttered out of his breath.

 

"Yep, I believe so. Thanks for the concern though," Plums said, smirking at the boy.

"Anyway, I believe enough people are here that I believe I can talk to you about this." Plums leaned against the wall, taking a breath.

 

My text ringtone went off. It was Soap, telling me that Plums was gonna start. I quickly went downstairs, sliding on the banisters to get there faster. I got there just as Plums took a deep breath...

 

"Finally." BIU said taking a seat.

 

OOC: i know right?

 

"Alright, well, I know that most of you were involved, but for the new people in the mix, the rest of us were taken to some...tower. And I was being controlled by my 'Shadow'. I'm not exactly sure why, but I feel that that Shadow was...a part of me. A part I kept deep down inside," Plums gazed off to the right.

"But anyway, I know there was that tower thing. Puramiid or whatever it was called. Which is where you guys come in. Do any of you recall how you got there? Did anything strange happen before you got there?"

 

I jumped out of bed. I remembered hearing an announcement to go to the lobby, quite some time earlier, but I went back to sleep. I looked at my clock. "That was about thirty minutes ago?!" I quickly changed into my daytime casual clothes; a purple hoodie, with white strings, a plain white t-shirt and a blue pair of skinny jeans. I grabbed my hair gel, and quickly, I gelled up the bangs of my hair. Deciding that I was ready, I rushed out.

Once I reached the lobby, I could tell that I got there just in time. But still, I ran, until I tripped on my feet and landing face first onto the hard flooring. Slowly, I looked up at the people staring at me. "Eheh... Hi there. Please excuse my abrupt entrance." ​

 

"Right before we were all magically teleported there, You screamed out in pain. We ran to your aid, and as soon as we opened the door, we were flooded with your "shadow" into a abyss. We awoke with no knowledge of what just conspired. We could not see our surroundings due to a very dense fog around us. All there was, was a road, a road that lead to your "pyramid". We proceeded into, fought some creatures, teleportted into another room where we encountered two of you, fought till our last breath, came out on top, and then brought back here. Did I leave anything out here guys?" Soap said all that with one breath, and then took the last bit of his coffee and swallowed it down to wet his lips after that long speech.

 

"And before that we all kinda died." BIU added after Soap. "No, wait... No, that was my dream last night."

 

"That is such a wonderful dream there BIU. I really hope it doesn't come true."Soap said sarcastically

 

I was listening to everyone discussing something about a tower called the Puramiid and Shadows. I didn't get anything at all... Suddenly Krown made an amazing entrance. "A-Are you okay?" I helped him up.

 

"A shadowy abyss?" Plums stared at the boy, perching his index finger and his thumb below his chin. "Interesting. And you all say I was asleep, correct?"

 

"I don't know if you were asleep or not. When we arrived to your room, you were awake when we got there. And then the shadowy abyss, and then the rest, I guess you know about, right?" Soap said with a somewhat irritated tone.

 

I wiped off a bit of blood, off of my lower lip. "Yeah. I should be fine." I flashed Chie a thumbs up. ​

 

"That's good." I said to Krown. We went over to the other group.

The stuff they were talking about sounded quite familiar. "Hey, maybe your Shadow was made of feelings that you locked deep into your heart. Have you been neglecting your true feelings or pretending to be someone you aren't? I've heard cases like that. I read about some of these cases that occurred in the countryside town of Inaba in Japan. If people don't face their true self, their Shadow awakens. Eventually the victim may die if they never accept themselves for who they are." I'm pretty into this psych stuff, so I've been catching up with the news about this stuff, "What? I don't read just manga!!"

 

Soap pushed himself off the wall with some power behind it and started to storm off towards the exit."This is all crazy talk. I'm outta here.As soap said that, he opened and slammed the door behind him and started off down the sidewalk towards the city.

 

"No stop, don't go..." BIU said half-heartedly as Soap stormed out. "Well, I tried."

 

"Eh?! S-Soap?!" Soap stomped outside. "I'll go get him..." I got up and ran after him. "Soap!!" I ran after him. "Where are you going?!"

 

Soap turned around to see Chie following him, and then continued to walk."Chie go back to the dorms." He said to her trying to get her not to follow him.
