secret magic room

[meticulousmind.livejournal.com]

All right, I got a VERY specific question. I think I asked it before, but I'll ask again with details this time. I needed a mod's approval because it's for my reference in my future RP sessions around the holidays and I don't want to bother anyone during that busy time.

Say this. . .my character Kvar is going about, exploring the castle looking for materials to make a dragon plushie as a present for his friend Rodyle as a gesture of peace to keep their friendship in the balance. That is his project until Christmas arrives.

Eventually, by random search and accidental discovery, he found a medium-sized ballroom somewhere on the upper floors. The ballroom was well-placed, it has huge windows and a balcony where you can come out and gaze at the open sky (best at night to watch the moon and stars and the town below) and the sea far beyond. Imagine the ballroom like in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" but MUCH smaller like the ballroom in Luigi's Mansion.

The ballroom in question is strongly magical. Magical as in illusion/surrealistic/dreamy-wise. Anyone who enters it the moment they walked through the large doors will undergo an illusion of wearing formal gowns and suits. If you're an elderly, the magic will give you an illusion of your youth. Meaning a 65 year old enters the room and thanks to the magic of illusion, becomes a 20 year old. I got this idea from reading the Utena mangas and anime.

I just wonder if it's okay if I could have my magical ballroom? I read the summary of the RP and it says, "The inhabitants of the castle can have anything their hearts desire." But I want to make a note that Kvar will not tell anyone of his wonderful room, he keeps the room as his personal secret. XD; If anyone wants this room, they have to find it for themselves or follow Kvar for a stalk.

PS: Now that I think about it, another question. If Kvar can willed it, can he used the magic of that room so no one will find it? Like, the door to the room doesn't exist. If a random passerby goes by, they will only see a wall. Only Kvar and the person he invited can see the doors.

.....I like this idea. There's so much fun that can be had with it~.

Yeah, I reasoned that the castle is so big with lots of room and if it's magical, then I wondered if that magic can be manipulated in an amusing way? Though, it's not for being particulary useful, since that's the nature of illusion. After all, I discovered it's a bit repetitive when I keep writing, "He's going to this town", "He's out in the gardens" and "He's in his room keeping his cats".

I was thinking that it may appear as a ballroom to Kvar, but it's more like a room of dreams to make it more creepy those who have a different perception of reality may see it as something completely different -- it's a room of illusions to make it even more creepy.

[Say if someone walks in it -- they may only see an empty room, dusty, old and so on. To Kvar, and those he brings in, it's a ballroom. If Rodyle say finds it and goes in it alone, he may see it as a way where he feels he has power, youth, respect, and perhaps to hurt illusions and images of his past life. I DUNNO. DON'T LISTEN TO ME. I'M MENTAL. 8D ]

Oh yeah, I forget make a note of this. Details, details, details.

Maybe it's a rooms of dreams, but it's not the only one. There's probably a few throughout the castle, but think about it. These types of rooms chooses it's own inhabitants.

It's not really an old, dusty, room since the castle is new and recently built. It was just a regular large, empty space.

Or. . .

Maybe it is a ballroom since particular rooms may have particular magic and function, that way it stays strong to the room's nature. You see, in one way, the room controls what you see but you don't control the room (since Paradisa feeds on the heart's desire). In a way, a room is a reflection of the person who use it and it's true function.

I think the rooms themselves wants particular dreams. Like happy dreams and then it takes the happy energy to feed the planet to help sustain the core. Vegeanceful dreams that brings pain to the individual just doesn't do, since it's not really positive but more self-damaging.

Like the ballroom, it only wants dreams that a person would think from a fairy-tale. So only people who dreams of being a prince, princess, kings, queens, emporers, courtesans, they can only see this ballroom.

I get what you're saying. :O I imagined it in a strange way, eating away at the person, bit by bit, the more time they spend in there though.

It eventually consumes them in their own illusion in some senses, to the point they never want to leave. That's the issue, and if they do leave, they will suffer more knowing what they saw was merely an illusion -- thus giving energy to Paradisa.

[meticulousmind.livejournal.com]

That's the idea, but it does not consume the person ENTIRELY. Since dreams/happiness can only regenerate as long as the person is alive.

In a way, the dream rooms, it's like a drug, but it's all in the mind. Like a vampire, but the victim's blood it taken but does not transform into the vampire.

Since it's all mental, there's a limit the person's stamina can endure in a dream room. When the person who uses that room gets tired, they eventually have to leave, but that person will gradually grew addicted to the point of dependency.

:O I get what you're saying, when I said it 'consumes' the person, I meant it's like a drug. Perhaps I should be more clear with my wording next time.

[meticulousmind.livejournal.com]

I figured what you meant, I just like to be clearer on details. I'm quite nit-picky with details of visuals and metaphors, you see. :O

I'm sorry I sort of snapped at you, didn't mean to do it honestly even though it was partly my fault for misinterperting one thing. D:

Naaaaaaah, it's about wording. Me, I'm too damn particular about things, but I didn't see you're snapping at me, you just open my creativity a bit more.
