◣ Nostalgia Nook ◢

In the heart of the Lower District,
In the center of a cluster of shops,
There is a small area called the Nostalgia Nook.
What's inside there? Well, see for yourself.

As of 12/25/10, Vatheon has grown a new area that shifts and changes as much as the rest of the city does. Shops appear and disappear on a whim and in the center of the circle of shops always reflect the mood the city appears to be in. When it's happy, you will find a small park area with an even smaller koi fish pond. People who come into the area will find themselves suddenly extremely happy and full of cheer. On the other hand, when the city is sad, people will find a broken down playground, dangerous for children and adults alike. There may be rats that will bite you or broken pieces of metal strewn about. Anyone entering this area will feel extremely sad and lacking hope.

But that's not the main part of the Nook!

The main part is the shops. When characters enter the stores they will find that some seem awfully familiar to them. These are shops based around character's home worlds, bringing items from there and even small pamphlets giving a synopsis of what that world is like (all purposefully vague of course, other characters won't be able to get secrets about others from it). All sorts of things can be found there, it's up to YOU, the player, to describe it below.

As of 2/6/11, things in Nostalgia Nook are no longer free. They cost Starfish Tokens, which may be earned throughout the city, through all sorts of jobs or tasks. More information can be found here and here at the FAQ!

Fill out below the little form below describing your character's stores. If more than one character shares the same homeworld, comment underneath that character's original comment to avoid spam and duplicates.

Please keep in mind that other characters might not agree with your shops or that it might cause confusion later on in the game. Be responsible with your shops and when the entire canon leaves Vatheon, the comment will be deleted. Have fun, and enjoy!

Series: Persona 3
Shop Name: Paulownia Express
Shop Description:
At a glance, Paulownia Express seems to be just a pharmacy. Shelves are lined with medicine as patrons first walk in, and there is a refrigerator or two near the first cashier which seems to hold several restorative drinks, for anyone who needs a quick pick-me-up. There are pamphlets at the counter, which the cashier will happily offer anyone who shops-- detailing information about Iwatodai and Tatsumi Port Island in general. One might get the feeling that they're a visiting tourist, even.

However, the store is bigger than it looks.

As you go deeper into the store, one might see the back wall lined with weapons. Bows, guns, spears, axes, swords; and a more gruff looking cashier who may be cleaning or caring for some of said weapons-- all of which are for sale.

The tone of this section of the store is starkly different, but taken together, one could say the store as a whole is perfectly designed to prepare for battle. The natives who run it seem quite happy to serve, hopefully, it won't very often be necessary...

(( For those of you familiar with Persona 3, this is basically a hybrid of Aohige Pharmacy and Officer Kurosawa's shop at the police station. See other Persona 3 related stores here! ))

Series: Persona 3
Shop Name: Frosty's
Shop Description: ~~you saw no fail~~

This particular shop is rather chilly compared to the cozy atmosphere of some, as the name would imply, and with good reason! It sells all manner of (you guessed it) Jack Frost related goods. From towels, cups, snow globes, shirts and clothing, to plushes and candies, or even the very same hat the little sprite itself wears, if it's Jack Frost-related, apparel and merchandise of it can all be found here lining the shelves, on the counter, and in the freezer!

The shop is in the shape of a white igloo, and is actually quite large. Although it isn't really made of snow, it's always a comfortable, breezy 60 degrees inside. Freezers full of ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other sweet, frosty treats (all with an adorable little Jack Frost print and wrapper) are sold here, as well as all manner of merchandise that looks like the little fairy known as Jack Frost.

Even the workers here are into the spirit, dressing up in the same snowy, wintery outfit (down to his cute hat!) as the little fellow. Walking in, you'll be greeted with a cheery 'hee-ho!'

If it is themed after any Frosts you'll find it here. Be it the original Frost, to Black Frost, to even Pyro Jack, it's all here. There is also a little crane grab out front full of plush toys, all Frost-related, and it is restocked daily.

Series: Persona 3
Shop Name: Hagakure
Shop Description: This is a ramen shop that Akihiko would usually go to with his friend, Shinjiro, but after he passed away, he barely went anymore. However, he did go with all of SEES at some point. They sell a variety of different types of ramen and everything is delicious.

You can sit at the counter to watch the chef cook or sit at the tables and wait to be served.
