Masks of the Soul: The Itex Meeting Lounge

ALL MASKED - PLEASE SOME SELF CONTROL. DO NOT READ THIS BECAUSE YOU'RE CURIOUS.

Welcome all the Itex characters from our role play, Masks of the Soul. All of you Masked people reading this right now (and I know most of you will end up doing that) ... please, please stop. Close your eyes - forget everything that you've read so far. Don't ruin your own enjoyment.

Hem - now to stop plagiarizing from Nivosity and put in my own words. Yes, I am the one who will guide the darker side of this roleplay (despite being leader of the other side, but no one really cares about that). I now reveal to you, your own new private, dazzling little OOC thread. I assure you, it is a thousand times better than the Masked thread. Now then, say everything you want about the information that you lower Itex agents have gathered - try to piece together the puzzle and use those deductive abilities that people rarely use. Throme is a rather confusing place after all, if you just keep your eyes open... All around the walls are TV screens so that you can go back and review the latest happenings of the roleplay.

Oh, but there is one matter to address - to prevent those dastardly members of the Masked from 'accidentally' sneaking a peek at your post because it was smiling at them from the OOC tab...

Thus, ONLY WRITE ONE POST, and from that point on, EDIT THAT ONE POST. That way it does not appear in the OOC tab and confidential information is kept secret :D

Believe me when I say, you don't want to know stuff you shouldn't... it'll be far more fun experience if you don't.

And one more thing - the Masked Meeting Lounge is obviously, restricted to them only. Why would you want to go over there anyway? Ahem, anyway, I suggest you don't read it. It'll be harder to keep from meta-gaming and it'll take the fun out of the whole 'playing detective' idea. We'll eventually find out if you read it... and the consequences won't be pretty for your character :D

So well... enjoy!

What the Lower Class Itex Know:

Yes, Itex... despite being part of the evil side, you don't know all that much more than the Masked. You are only a lowly agent, and the higher ups don't want you to know of them just yet... they need to see dedication. However, keeping track of information is tedious and tiresome, so your lovely omniscient GMs have done it for you.


Known Members of the Itex
Upper Class Itex:
-none-

Middle Class Itex:

Judgement
Judgment serves as the one who gives the Lower Class Itex their orders. He always remains aloof, but his orders are followed quickly. Judgement always arrives in his mask form, and no clues are found about his real identity. Now, it is important to note that Judgement will always be at Brio at the designated time - every Friday at 5 o'clock sharp... you ought to hurry on over there since he doesn't take waiting kindly. All you have to do is ask to see the owner, and then tell the owner you've reserved the back room. He will lead you to Judgement, there in all his cryptic glory. Judgement will tell you your agenda for the week, and the consequences of what will happen should you fail. Do remember not to insult him - that scythe of his isn't for show, and replacements are so dreadfully difficult to find nowadays.



The Hierophant
A woman with ringing bell-like tones of a voice, she sometimes appears with Judgment to give the Lower Class, meaning you, their orders. Her mask is intricate - and the members of the Lower Class Itex, meaning you, are always aware of the difference in power between them and her.


Lower Class Itex:
All of them - they are your allies after all. Check the character profiles if you don't.


Unknown:

The Fool
Not much is known about The Fool - other than her liking to stalk the Jack. You might have met her once in the middle of the night - enough to know that she belongs with the Itex, but naught else. Ah, no - one more thing you might have noticed... she has bells at the tips of her shoes, her hat, at her wrists, and even the ribbon baton she waves about, so of course they chime as she skips.




Known Members of the Rebels
-none- You have yet to encounter any... this will expand as you encounter the enemy in the roleplay.


Known Supporters of the Rebels
-none- You have yet to encounter any... this will expand as you encounter the enemy in the roleplay.


Known Supporters of the Itex

Brio Owner
Well, whether he can be called a 'supporter' is questionable, but the owner of Brio always does have the back room prepared for your little rendevous with Judgement, so perhaps he counts? He's a strange one, and no one knows his name... after all, he answers with a new one every time he's asked...


Known Free-lancers
-none- You have yet to encounter any... this will expand as you encounter the enemy in the roleplay.



Known Information about the Masks:
They can allow personality and appearance change when worn as well as giving those who wear them special abilities. Apparently there is a distinction between 'True' and 'False', but at this stage, all you know is that the True masks have fancier names.


Known Information about the Grace Stone:
It is a stone that their higher-ups want them to find.



Extra Information:
For your reference, here is an image of Damon Ito, just in case you pass by a poster/bulletin of him. This is him in his latest historical role in the award-winning film "Dreams of a Past Spring":


If necessary, this is Throme's most popular solo R&B singer, Emma Matia. She will be Damon Ito's co-star in his new musical:


And of course, where would we be without the chic and stylish mayor of Throme - Aline Cosette:


Meet Noel Delari - a popular, allegedly kind model who everyone pairs up with Damon Ito. She, personally, won't say anything about it - must be shyness:


Also, this is Micah Faret, the quietly eccentric fantasy writer of Throme. His newest book is coming out in a month... allegedly about a person who gets stuck inside a puddle. However, personally speaking, he should get out more - he hasn't been seen coming out of his house in weeks.


Megan Mariot - the reporter (and sometimes anchor) of Throme News Station. She is often criticized for being too chipper.


This is Throme News Station's weatherman, Kenneth Park. He has yet to get a single forecast even remotely right, so if you want to prepare for the weather, do the complete opposite of what he suggests.


This is the strange clown who sells balloons and cotton candy by the first floor escalators of the mall on weekends. He doesn't seem to speak, but always has a smile on his face. He seems a little eerie at times... he seems to be called Easter.


This bizarre woman calls herself Madam Butterfly. She sets up a tent in Cherry Grove Park every weekend, claiming to be a fortune teller. Although she wears no outlandish clothing, her mannerisms are strange enough... However, it seems her tarot readings are said to be surprisingly accurate.

What's on the Agenda:

Everyone, if you don't want Judgement at your throats, you might want to get to Brio... fast.
^ Too late. He's pretty angry now. If you have the time and will, go and read my super-long and not-all-that-good post in Brio.

Also, to the people who want their characters a bit more used to this, you can just kind of gesture to the side door, get a nod from one of the employees, and then enter yourself. People whose characters are relatively new to this, ask Ren (Gwen's in a bad mood and I'll have to RP him) for the owner, he'll cheerfully direct you to the weirdo owner, who will... not say all that much. He's pretty much the sort to respond with, "We'll wait and see," to anything you say. I'm letting you know all this because it'll slow down the roleplay to meet with secondary NPCs just to get to Judgement. Sorry if this bothers you ^^"


Note: A prettier version is coming soon - so view this as the rough draft... yeah... or not.
