Current Events
Updated: 20/07/2020

**ALERT!** After a rather eventful evening at Maksim's Party, three teenagers seems to have gone missing. The doors of Vault Olympia have been breached due to a to this day unknown assailant, who sabotaged the doors locking systems, allowing demons to make entry. Thanks to the excellent defensive capabilities of the Vault's Security drones, the Attack was put to an end, and the invading monsters fled to the outside. Right now, the Doors of Vault Olympia are currently open, allowing any survivors of the fall to seek shelter within the Vault's safe halls. What Vault Security officials think of this development remains unclear as the Chief of Police and Security of Olympia refused to leave a comment. This is Rianara, of Olympia news, signing out.

The site is entering a new era as our team of mods works tirelessly on updating old and obsolete information threads and links. Over the Summer, we aim to make many changes to the forum, including writing a comprehensive beginners' guide to help new players accommodate to the combat and other rp systems in place here.

Be sure to constantly check the update thread for any changes to the boards. You can find it ->Here<-

Whether or not Froger was still at the use of a toilet like last time, he would find himself drawn towards to another realm as a blue door illuminated itself in front of him. Unlike last time, it broke open as slithering chains grabbed him in a vice grip before pulling him inside. When finally awakening to the azure hues in the environment, the familiar hum of a vehicle quietly filled his ears as the sight of an equally familiar trio greeted him. Of the three, the man in the middle appeared serenely calm with that same wide smile. But he noticed there was something different. The links continued to hold onto his body this time, as if tightening around him with a purpose.

The First Struggle [P. Wild Card Topic] SkpJ6zp



"Welcome back, dear Guest. We have much to talk about."


"You fucked up. Couldn't finish the job last night and you lost one of your accomplices. Are you trying to get yourself executed?" Felanie bluntly said as she kicked the prison bars roughly. She had something of a sardonic streak spreading through her features. It was as if she were derisively looking down on him. Last night was supposed to be their grand debut and it was a colossal failure. It seemed as if the scales have been tipped towards a direction the Wild Card may not like at this rate. While Felanie enjoyed in the tongue-lashing, Robin was not necessarily the same. "Your current performance speaks ill of you, Wild Card. Ruin will lie in your wake with this kind of progress. You would do well to adjust. Or otherwise, the obstacles you struggle against will finally introduce a result so many others have fallen to. Indeed, you have unlocked many egos since your last visit, but you fall short. The seed of power inside of you has yet to fully sprout it seems."

If there was one thing to take from this, they appeared to be disappointed in him. Even if they didn't admit it, there were high hopes for him. Would he be like the rest that failed after all despite how special he was? It would be an awful shame, wouldn't it? The hooked-nose man watched them talk and nothing on his face betrayed him of any kind of emotion. "In the light of certain unfortunate events, there is a question that requires to be answered. Will you continue down your path?"

Frog leered at the trio. He didn't like the way they were looking at him, and he had enough problems of his own to take care of right now, not needing any flight attendants telling him what to do and how to proceed. Had he not been dulled by last night's shock, derived of most of his energy, he would've fought back against the chains, but alas.
What pissed him off the most was the way they were looking at him. The pressure was palpable. They too didn't like what he was, did they~? Not the Wild Card part. He knew they must've liked that. But...they way he was as a person. Nobody really appreciated him for what he was. That was why he never appreciated anyone else for what they were, only how much they impacted his life, be it in a positive or negative manner. He didn't like Selenus because he was a good dog. He liked him because the two of them could have conversations and he knew Selenus accepted him. He too was starting to accept Selenus. On the other hand, he didn't hate Invidia because the man was eating young brainwashed idols or something. He also didn't hate him because he killed Selenus. He hated him because he beat him yesterday and proved that he was stronger than Frog could hope to become at this point. This meant...it meant Frog's failed in everyone's eyes. They could look down upon him now because he deserved it. That's what he hated about Invidia and last night's failure.

"You mean the path of failure?" He whispered. Mr. Big Nose was being vague. Which path was he referring to? Also yes, Frog ignored the two meaningless beings at Igor's side. He couldn't care less and it pained him to think about what they thought about him. It was easier to pretend they didn't exist.

Both girls narrowed their eyes as Frog seemed to ignore them. But most importantly, he was proving to be rather unreliable. Perhaps that potential was far wasted on him. Felanie would've kicked against the bars again in indignation, if it weren't for the low dark chuckle coming from Igor. Both of them fell silent for the old man to speak, "Your Journey, of course. I would have hoped you wouldn't follow the trail of failure like a previous holder of power did. But fortunately for you, you have yet to reach the end of your Journey. That said, will you continue to follow a path to reach true Freedom?"

"If you want me to follow a path to true freedom...who are you to keep me bound by these contracts and bars and chains..." Frog's voice grew into a silent gutteral growl as his teeth clenched shut. His predecessor failed. He was gonna fail too if he was gonna keep going like this. He didn't have what it took, but he wasn't going to give up either. However, this place, the ideal oxymoron, pissed him off the most right now. Freedom by contract. Will in chains. He was bound to them and his power. If he wanted to attain true freedom by his definition...
Then, well. It wouldn't be nice, for him.

"Define true Freedom." He commanded, his voice stern once more, no emotions, no looking up. He still spoke only to Igor. The other two were irrelevant. What their existences were was loosely defined, possibly mere projections of the nosed man, from what little Frog could gather. Who were they to speak to him. To command him. No, if he was gonna talk, he was gonna talk to the only one in this room who matter besides Frog himself.

Igor looked upon him with amusement. Felanie seemed rather smug as Robin remained coolly aloof, but they said nothing. The Velvet Room's master replied with a smile in return. "These chains signify your current state, dear Guest. Not so much of our own doing, oh no. Our policy is to remain detached with the events in the concrete world you live in. As I said before last time, we are merely here to help record and witness the progress of your Journey. Remember, you are responsible for your own actions."

Services were indeed given to the guests of the Velvet Room. However, they were still the Wardens of this realm mutated by the machinations of the living world. Each and everyone who came to this room were given an important caveat: responsibility. As Frog asked his question, it was Robin's turn. "That is the very Question we ask you today. It is not up to us to answer that for you. This is your Journey as my Master stated. What do you define True Freedom? What place does Order have in it?"

More riddles and no answers. Had Frog maybe looked up and saw their expressions change, he would've been much calmer, but he didn't look up. He didn't feel like it. "Yet last time you said something about, Iunno, dying if I didn't follow what I said to the end." Frog responded sardonically. It was what he'd been talking about. His last meeting with Mr. Nose. He would've continued prodding, had he not heard the Attendant speak. Robin was his favourite if he had to pick one from the two. The kid was just a brat. This one could perhaps be spoken with.

"Order should be set for oneself by oneself. Freedom isn't when you're free to do what you want. It certainly isn't an illusion of doing what you want either. Chaos in the grand scheme. Letting those who deserve go on. Then the beautiful calm before the storm which will lead to destruction. Freedom leads to destruction. But it's worth it. You ask if I want to go on with that path, but you're bound by the Order in this city, using it as an excuse to propagate a case study on the balance of the two. Right now I don't care about Endymion. I'll go back there and I'll rip that monster's heart out. That will be one step closer to Chaos in Endymion, and one step closer to my own Freedom, as I'll be setting my own Order. Is that what you wish to hear~?"

Igor listened with keen interest as Robin began marking the clipboard with her observations. But of course, with the continued flagrant acts of disrespect, Felanie stuck out her tongue at him. The answer wasn't that much different from last time's. It was something different at the same time in very few key ways. But most importantly it showed growth, that was the intended purpose of the Velvet Room after all. The Room's Master regarded the young man with interest. "It is certainly is an interesting answer. One that shall suffice. Perhaps you may walk a different path from your predecessor. What an interesting development indeed. I wonder if you'll still retain that same answer in the next evening. Now, tell me. During your skirmish last night, what have you learned of the Order espoused from Invidia? Why exactly is this Peace so wrong to you?"

What was the Nosed guy wanting of him now? Frog didn't really know much about Invidia or his regime nor was he implored to find out. He just didn't care. All he needed to know was that getting him would help overthrow the Queen or something and now also avenge Selenus and show everyone else that he can do it and be strong and respected. That's all he wanted. It was his Freedom to do so.
In the meantime, Frog hadn't noticed he'd raised his head up while he wasn't paying attention. Out of interest, perhaps? Well regardless, he raised it and was looking at them finally. Mostly at Igor, but also Robin a bit. She was writing something down...yeesh...

Regardless, the Nosed question still stood. "The music has some brainwashing effect or something. If nothing else, then it bothers me how creepy the scene at the concert was." He said. "Invidia's Order and Peace are that of ignorance. The music he propagates is a metaphor for losing oneself, like at a party, yes. Since he held a party that we crashed. He transformed so Iunno what his real form is. He could be a demon for all I know. His Peace is wrong because it's the same as not doing anything constructive. He makes dreams come true only to extinguish the flicker of life in the idols. Iunno, it's wrong and selfish. Envious. All of them, of each other. That's why they have to devour, the same as an idol has to claw her way up. It's all Invidia."

Igor chuckled at what Froger said. Demons. It would be far too easy to lay that blame on them. Perhaps the Queen's campaign to set them aside as scapegoats were far too effective in this case. Indeed, the Divide had been all set up as if to make it all too easy. But the Master kept his silence. All would be revealed in due time, of course. After all, this wasn't his Journey. "A marvelously insightful answer. I hope you will continue to nurture your understanding as you make each step in your Journey. Your adversary continues down their path with relative success. May you reach the zenith of your growth to match her... Until next time, dear Guest."

Somehow, something in Igor's response didn't sound all that honest to Frog as he listened intently and wide eyed. He twitched when his 'adversary' was mentioned. The person he saw that one time with Lou...shit...if they were doing better than him, then what would Lou do with him? He didn't want to be the losing one. If anything he could blame part of it to his group. Yeah...that made him feel a little better at least.

Frog scowled. "I'll not lose to her. Don't you even say it." He responded before fading from the Velvet realm.
