When it is darkest, men see the stars...

The snow was falling softly in the night sky when the heavens turned red again. The nearly black sphere of the upcoming new moon meant the monster population wasn't overly aggressive and the creatures wouldn't offer much challenge....

...or that's what was supposed to happen.

That night, there was a strange pull. The demons had acted odd that day, but even when asked, they were unsure why. To keep the population safe, the mayor had asked the city to stay inside that night and let the city police and visitors do their job.

It was a good thing he had. As the first minute of the 13th hour continued, something happened...the signature tail in the sky of something appearing, much like when the Guests had shown up. Only this time it was hundred of such little signals. The sky was filled with them, and people were ushered inside buildings as much as possible. Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

New creatures began to move around the city. For some, it would be creatures they might have wanted to forget. Yet for others, this would soon be forgotten when not flesh but stone, rock and metal, rose from the very ground, pieces of their homeworld reborn in Hinoto-Ri...

Alright 13th hour post!

This will be up to you on what you want to do; start a new post where you can character's name and OPEN and write the days they'll be wandering during the 13th hour. Join other people's post, do some exploration, post them fighting monsters and just have some fun leveling up / interacting! For this log only You can level a persona twice meaning if they are used in a post with one group and in a post with another group, you can level up your persona twice. The conditions is that the fighting must happen on two different days. You can do this with only one persona, however.

For the buildings, each one gets its own thread. The original owners who submitted will be the first to see them, due to a strange pull that made they feel like they NEEDED to go to that area. What they do with this information is up to them; they can contact others in their group, start exploring by themselves or allow the thread to be open for others to come in with them...it's all up to you. That next morning, the government will be coming over to analyze them (that will be done offscreen, however).

FOR THE CREATURES 1) The creatures have to be in the Beastary for you to use them. You don't need to use creatures from your own home worlds either, as long as someone's put in a creature in there! No boss characters that night, since it isn't a full moon. Also make sure your characters could logically take onthe creatures you pick let's not have them take down a giant tree when they couldn't normally.]

[What was she doing here really? Atoli hadn't a clue, only that it just... felt right.

But this was...]

Wh- how is... Moon Tree?!

[...She was supposed to be here, but this just raised more questions for her.]

Do you know the place? My, you need to find healthier hangouts.

*There's somebody floating by. That's right, floating. She's sitting on a staff, looking at the structure in bemusement.*

Quite dangerous here, isn't it? I've heard new structures have been appearing left and right tonight. Seems like your luck's a bit poor on this front, hmm?

Well, I haven't ever seen it overrun with monsters like this before! As the Guild Master, Zelkova could make them appear whenever he wanted, but he almost never did that...

Hmm. Suffice to say, dearie, I suspect your guild master is nowhere to be found on the premises. So sorry.

Hmm. I do still need to train... THAT man, whether I like it or not. Tell you what, I'll help you clear the area around that place a bit, hmmm? Free of charge for once, because I'm SUCH a good person.

Um, thank you! [She bowed deeply.] Well then, let's get started.

[The enemies around mostly resemble animated swords or spear-wielding, armored cyclopses, but they all seem to be grouping up in packs of three.]

Indeed. Though I am rather loathe to use this fool... still, I have a tournament to prepare for. I'll just hope there's little trouble.

*She summons her Persona. Said Persona looks, briefly, like a fairly congenial man in a robe. ...then he opens his eyes. That is not a sane look.*

These creatures are new. Interesting. I shall have to study any remains they leave. It could be quite profitable. Old man! Smash their atoms.

*The Persona gleefully charges forth, smashing away.*

[Lacking a Persona of her own, Atoli sticks to the smaller Rue Bezels and uses her own skills.]

Vak Don!

[And then one of them was struck by small meteors and died.]

Oh dear, have you not unlocked yours yet? Consider it a mixed blessing, I suppose. Some things ARE easier to accomplish with one's own might anyway.

*She commands the 'Old Man' to zap a few more enemies. Once she's observed how quickly they fall to the lightning magic, she chortles and launches a few bolts of her own.*

They may be new, but they still fall like dominoes.

It's actually been a couple months, and I still haven't managed to do it...'

[It looks like they're getting noticed. Atoli's still unhurt, and keeps minimetoring the weaker enemies, as the number of enemies around them slowly increases.]

Want her to pull a bitch move to help awaken the Persona?

[If it helps, Atoli isn't alone for long. There's a very familiar-looking person rushing up, scythe and guns holstered - but from the looks of it, she's about to break out the guns. This is a bit of a situation, after all, and even if she hasn't managed to do the Persona thing yet-

Well. That can wait, this needs to be solved and oh hey Atoli's here. Best help her out, and so Haseo rushes over, ready to fight to help her buddy.]

You all right, Atoli?

[...Haseo's voice probably sounds a little weird to OU-goers. A cold, maybe?]

[It is a little different... which doesn't stop her from running up right away!]

Haseo! I'm fine, it's just...

[what are vidjagame buildings doing here, is the part she manages not to say.]

[Yeah, it's probably just a cold, no big deal.]

It's just that the Moon Tree headquarters are here when they're really not supposed to be, right?

[She coulda sworn the place got shut down after Sakaki's shenanigans...]

[She could have sworn it belonged on the Internet.]

Right, and it's full of monsters, too! How did this happen...

I guess the only explanation for that is that this place is messed up.

[Seriously, is magic even capable of moving something that big across dimensions?]

Well, I can't really argue with that...

Mm. You up for looking into this place?

[If Atoli isn't, it's cool, it's cool, Haseo will just rush in all RAAAAAAAR.]

All right... Let's go, Haseo!

[She's a Cleric and knows when to let her partner have the lead, which is... just about all the time, really.]

[... Well. He was just wandering around, but he passes nearby and hears Atoli, so he heads over. ... Huh.]

Someplace familiar?

It's my guild's area from "The World".

[And from the size of the building, it must have been quite a guild.]

[Give him a moment to work out what a guild is, he's not as huge of a gamer.]

Oh. Huh. I'm guessing it's not supposed to have monsters?

Not this many. Zelkova could create more if he ever wanted to, but that's not like him at all...

Might be a good idea to clear them out, then.

Narasimha, let's go!

[The leonine persona towers over him, rushing forwards to engage the nearest monster with a Zionga.]

Gan Bolg!

[Small chunks of rock appear to tear themselves out of the ground, converging on and punching straight through the heavy armor of one of the larger enemies, a Fat Lancer.]

Still haven't gotten yours yet?

[Lightning seems to work well on them, so he keeps using it.]

No, I haven't gotten it to work...

[Well... not on its own. She has to defend for a few moments, since her spells have this thing called global cooldown.]
