Samuel yawns, scratching his head as he hauls himself off his bench. "...What now? I'm real tired of being dragged-" Out of the corner of his eye, Samuel takes notice of the fact that there's one too many people in the cell. "Who's the new girl? You going to give us a third cataclysm to save the world from, or something? At this point, I wouldn't be surprised." Not waiting for an answer, the man moves to the cell door, rattling the bars. "We're here. What've you got to tell us, now?"
Igor: *chuckle* Excellent... You are all here. Allow me to get to the point. You have awakened to your powers. And special ones at that. Your rehabilitation can finally begin.
Sally: "Our" powers? But I haven't awakened to any power of some sort...
Lavenza: Indeed. You have not unlocked the power within. For now, these four will be our priority.
Sally: *disappointed* Oh...
Igor: However, there is no need to understand it all for the time being. You will be training the power of Persona, which you have awakened to. Personas are, in other words, a "mask"-- an armor of the heart when confronting worldly matters. I have high expectations of you.
David: What do you mean?
Igor: There is no need to worry. You will learn when the time comes.
Lavenza: I would like to inform you that since you are a Trickster, David, your power is completely different to those of your companions'. However... there is something off about them.
What will you say?
A: So... I've got similar powers?
B: Ugh, this is too hard to understand...

I used to post on the Terraria Forums after I thought the Minecraft Forums were gonna get archived. But now that the Forum Games there are basically shut down, I've decided to return to MCF.
Lavenza: As of right now, we cannot say. But we do know that it involves your Personas.
Igor: By the by... have you come to appreciate the Metaverse Navigator? Using it will allow you to come between reality and Palaces.
David: You mean that thing on the Aegis Tablet? ...And that's where we went?
Igor: Precisely. I bestowed it to you as a means to train you all as thieves.
Lavenza: The Metaverse Navigator is a gift from my master. Please take care in using it. Devote yourselves to your training so that you may become fine thieves.
Samuel: But... I'm already a thief.
Igor: You will not be the only ones to make use of the Metaverse Navigator. Should there be others who would prove beneficial to you, I will grant it to them as well. This is all for you to grow as a most excellent thief, Trickster...
Lavenza: It is now time for you to go back to reality. Thank you for your time.
The party blacks out yet again as they go back to the real world.
Sally: Just what was that crazy room, anyway?
Connor notices that Sally is back to her spirit form.
Connor: Oh... I guess you're only corporeal in the Velvet Room.
Sally: Velvet Room?
Connor: ...Yeah, it's kind of hard to understand.
David: So... what do you guys think when Lavenza said you had similar powers to mine?
What will you say?
A: Well, it's got something to do with Personas.
B: On another topic, who was that other girl?

Connor: “Oh, her name was Sally. Me and her were best friends, though we have yet to figure out why. She’s currently a ghost following us, though she was corporeal in the Velvet Room, for some unknown reason.”
Samuel: “So, we’re being haunted by a ghost, huh? Great...”
Sally is visibly and audibly unhappy about this chain of speech.
Connor: “...I don’t think she liked that remark...”
(I was going to assume that only Connor and Strider could see Sally, but I’m not going to continue this dialogue in case you decide the rest of the party can also see her now.)
Samuel: "It's probably got something to do with those masks, yeah. Question is, what did she mean by your powers?
David: I... dunno. I just think that they think of me highly just because I'm a... What was it again? "Trickster?" Eh. I got no clue. Maybe we'll find out more if we go to that castle again. Do you guys agree?
What will you say?
A: Yeah.
B: Maybe not...

Connor: “Well, the Trickster status is probably related to Personas, and we awakened to Personas in the Palace, so the Palace will likely have clues. Just... don’t use the Nav here... we don’t want to catch anyone else up in this when it takes everyone in the proximity.”
(I’ve decided that Sally can be seen by the party whilst they’re in the Metaverse, thanks to them seeing her in the Velvet Room, Connor’s comment on her, and the Metaverse being the “World of Cognition”.)

Connor: *Facepalm* We literally, accidentally used the Nav when we were right next to each other.
The party goes to the entrance of Kakariko.
David: Uh... lemme see. How does this work?
There's now a red app on the Aegis Tablet, which stands out from everything else being blue, which David presumes to be the Metaverse Navigator. He opens it up...
David: Huh, there's a search history. Let's see...
David: So I guess this is the thing that Igor mentioned and what took us to that castle. We can use this thing to get here. Are you guys ready to go?
Do you want to storm the castle?
A: Yes.
B: No.

Samuel: "Don't see why we shouldn't. Let's slip in, beat the arrogance out of Ratsuti, steal anything that isn't nailed down, and leave. This feels familiar, actually..."
Connor: “...yea, we can’t ‘just’ beat the arrogance out of him...”
Samuel: “Huh?”
Connor: “In order to deal with Ratsuti’s arrogance through his Palace, we need to take it’s ‘keystone’, called ‘The Treasure’. Don’t ask why it’s called that...”
Strider: “How do you know all this stuff?”
Connor: “I... don’t know how to explain it in a way that you would simply understand...”
Connor then notices Sally clinging to him, scared.
Connor: *attempting to be soothing* “It’s OK, Sally, it’s gonna be OK.”
David: You know, I don't know why, but I feel like something unexpected's gonna happen this time.
Connor: What do you mean, this time?
David: I just can't explain and shake the feeling...
The party walks through the gate.
Connor: Actually, wait. I think we shouldn't go through the front entrance.
Strider: Why?
Connor: Because the guards will easily detect us. We might need to find another way in.
Where will you look?
Abandoned Stable: This stable's supposed to have horses in them, but for some reason, it's totally empty.
Barrels: There might be something inside.
Castle Walls: What if there's an open window here?

we should probably check the stable, the barrels would probably not be an entrance and considering all our powers are unusable in this place we probably wouldn't be able to just climb the walls

Both of you end up finding a window that was thoughtlessly left open. There's a stack of crates arranged in such a way it's like a staircase.
Connor: Huh. I guess it was in the same spot...
Samuel: What do you mean, same spot?
Connor: I've seen some place similar to this one, and it seems to be an exact replica...
Samuel: *sigh* Just where do you get all this crazy stuff?
Connor and Samuel signal the party, and everyone climbs in. The party finds themselves in a storage room. At that moment, the party's clothes instantly change, along with their masks appearing on their faces.
David: Woah, what just happened to me?
Connor: It's your mental image of how a rebel looks like.
David: Hm. I guess so.
Connor: But I've never heard that our clothes not change when we're outside the Palace.
Samuel: Well, that's just trivial. We need to focus on how to take Rasuti down.
Strider: Alright. Connor said there was this "Treasure" thingy that we need to steal. Do you know where it is?
Connor: I don't remember where exactly, but it should be somewhere near the throne room.
Strider *facepalm* Well, not the answer I hoped for, but I guess it'll do.
David looks around, trying to get his bearings, and he ends up seeing Sally.
David: Huh? Who're you?

Sally appears visibly translucent to David and Samuel. There’s also a headband with a triangle poking out on the right (her left) on her head.

Sally: *confused* “H-Huh?! What headban-?” *reaches for her head and touches the headband* “Wha-?! What is this doing here?!” *tries taking it off, only for it to barely move* “Why can’t I take it off?!”

ghost head bands, thats new. in my experience if there is anything that shows somone is a ghost it is transparency and/or their eyes being totaly blanck.
also why was i speaking in black
