AN: This is basically a new version of Persona 4. I changed several things and I will continue changing. ;D
The protagonist is Sae Seta, a 16 year old girl with long light gray hair, with a very unstable personality.
Everything happens according to the protagonist, so I do not know if I'll do by all social links, only those that interest me...
Chapter 1 - The Velvet Room
I was boarding the train to take me to my new home for a year, leaving my small, comfortable home, in Tokyo.
Inaba. A small town in Japan that I, because of my parents' work would be forced to live with my uncle Ryotaro Dojima and my cousin Nanako.
I even don't know the city. It reminded me of being a boring town where nothing special happened, only this.
I had only seen my uncle once long ago, in him marriage. And I had only seen a small picture of Nanako when she was born. They were my family, but I knew nothing about them. And they definitely did not know anything about me.
I would have to get used to the quiet life of Inaba, different from the hectic life I had in Tokyo. I decided not to think about it. All this change makes me feel like going into a prison, leaving Tokyo and my parents ...
This will only change the fact that I would not be by myself, but with two strangers in the house. My parents never stay in our home, they were always working outside the country, and I had already gotten used to this.
When I sat in an empty seat of the great wagon-lit train, I felt dizzy and soon I could not keep my eyes open...
I woke up in a small blue room with just a silver table in the center. There were two people in the room, a man with a long nose and a few white hair. And there was also another man. This was young and blond, he wore blue and detailed clothes. Clothes that seemed a strange fancy for one of those ridiculous dances of 1820 ... Each one was seated in a big blue chair.
I noticed too a third chair very inviting, on the opposite side of the table. I wasn't thinking, I just go to the chair and sat down. The strange man with long nose said, looking very happy.
" Ah, it seems that finally woke my dear young lady. My name is Igor, I am a resident of the Velvet Room, which is where you are now." Then that small room had a name. A very unusual name.
" The Velvet Room " continued Igor " is a place that only people who sign the contract can enter. " He stopped and looked at me as if he was expecting an answer.
" Contract? I do not remember signing any contract ... Is this a dream? " That's what I managed to say.
' Hmm... You could say it's a dream because we are not in the real world. We are in the deepest place of your mind, the place so I can see, carries many possibilities "
Inside my mind? Many possibilities?
Everything became increasingly unrealistic. But for some reason I knew what the strange man said have some kind of sense.
I just nodded, unable to mutter a single word.
" Now, my dear, do you believe in the fortune arcanes? " He asked. I had heard something about the arcane fortune, but I didn't answer. The question is somewhat odd. But at that moment I did not think anything strange. " Well then, let's see what the future holds to you... " Speaking of this, some cards appeared on the table and Igor moved one by one, making them float. " Hmm, very interesting. The sun face up, meaning a new journey; the tower face up, there will be a great revelation about your fate; The Moon face up, great achievements; And finally the last... Hmmm, very intrigant. The death face down. This card, signify the choices that you will make in your near future. Choices that can save or cause destruction. " When he finished, the lcards disappeared and the table was once again empty.
What? Why did he sad that about me?
If this was my future I was not enjoying it. I couldn't understand why my choices, choices of a normal girl like me could save or destroy anything, or someone.
I noticed that the other man had an intriguing look about me. I felt very uncomfortable. I don't like that people look at me, mainly as I was some kind of object, which was there to be studied. But, I decided to continue to look at him too. He then smiled.
" Oh, excuse my manners. This is Joseph, he is another resident here at Velvet Room. Joseph is also my assistant and apprentice. " Joseph nodded and introduced himself.
" Nice to meet you, my name is Joseph. I'm here to help you along your journey. I will be happy to help in anything you need. " I nodded.
" Now, young lady. It's up to you to decide ... - Said Igor. - You will sign the contract? - And, instantly appeared on the table a great bloody red folder containing inside a pen and contract.
" What happens if I sign? " I asked. Igor laughed, and said with a very calm voice.
" You need not worry. The agreement asks only that you have full responsibility for hyour acts... You know, the Nnormal stuffs. " And he laughed again.
I did not like signing things they did not know, but the contract was illegible. It looked like another language, totally different.
" Answer me. What happens if I sign? " I asked again. I did not want to sign, but there seemed no choice to make.
" If you sign this contract you will begin your journey. Journey which determines the direction of your life and of many others. - Igor said, not laughing anymore. He had an appearance very serious, and I could tell that he was worried that I did not sign.
I saw no other alternative. I decided to sign.
Sae Seta.
" Well, now that you accept your fate, we will navigate to the deep sea of your soul. Until we meet again... Farewell.
That's all I saw. After signing the weired contract, my eyes closed ery slowly, and everything disappeared. I Had returned to the train. And I had a full recollection of what had happened in the Velvet Room, but I tried to believe with all my strength, it was all a dream.
