Something Old, Something New

▼ Something Old, Something New (13th hour & arrival log)

Who: Anyone
Where: The entire city
When: The news two weeks
Summary: This is both a Newcomer log AND a General 13th hour log
Warnings: That depends who is there

▼ When it is darkest, men see the stars...(13th hour)

The night sky once again turned red as the 13th hour hit the city. By now it was almost too easy to accept it. The moon (or what was of it up there) shone, affecting the monster population in subtle ways.

By now, even the strange events which had happened almost seemed a little too common. The pulls from a new building, or the odd creatures that showed up and increased the population for that hour gave rise to new oppertunities; both good and bad.

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, despite the dividing population on this issue. For the most part, there wouldn't be much resistance.

Each night, the sky was always filled with at least one or two signs of something new, and people were ushered inside buildings as much as possible.

Who knew. Maybe tonight you'd get lucky.

▼ Ode of the Newcomer

You're not in your homeworld anymore. That much is evident. So how do you feel? Happy? Sad? Troubled? A little of all three? No matter what, the memories of a butterfly man named Philemon are fading like a dream; you'll remember the details, but perhaps not everything he has said. What time you showed here seems to be as random as everything else; if you were lucky it was during the day, if not, well the 13th hour was rather dangerous. Fortunately, there was a high chance you'd be spotted quickly.

...hopefull anyway.

There is one word that stays with you, however.

Persona.

So...here to save the city, huh? First you'll need to find out more information. And who knows, maybe a familiar face or two...

▼ Extra Long OOC Blurb

[(Make sure you read it!) This is a dual log, both 13th hour, or newcomer posts (we're testing it out to see this works well or not.)

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.

If you are a newcomer, write OPEN and what hour they arrived. It can be the 13th hour if you want too!

Join other people's post, do some exploration, post them fighting monsters and just have some fun leveling up / interacting! For this log, you can level up persona, but not in the same thread and the same day, IC-wise. Please do not abuse this. The conditions is that the fighting must happen on different days. The threads should be long enough that an attack is possible and shouldn't just be a few comments just for the sake of leveling up (Ie, we want effort in them, as much as you would with a normal log.).

If you submitted a building and it was accepted, feel free to start a post with them discovering it! 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! Also, make sure your characters could logically take on the creatures you pick let's not have them take down a giant creature when they couldn't normally.]

DON'T FORGET TO TAG WITH YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME PLEASE.

[Miyako have dedicated herself to resume her training during the 13th Hour. The monsters that prowl the streets make for perfect targets and opponents, as she would encounter enemies that never exists in her world.

Enemies such as these dark creatures.]

Well, well...

[Her katana in her hands, she watch their movements carefully and striking whenever she sees an opening. When they're grouped together close enough, Miyako would cast an ice spell at them. The air become more chilly when the ice breaks against them.

However, it seems like one of them is slinking up towards her back like a shadow...]

Vulcan Pha!

[Fire rips through the one sneaking up on her, as a small boy with a staff points at the enemy. It runs at the new target, and he whacks it with his staff, dissipating it into a cloud of darkness.]

[... Oh hey, some more of that weird money.]

[After dissipating one with slash, Miyako briefly glance over at the boy. Wields a staff and cast magic, most likely. Stepping backwards, she ignores the odd gold...money? She ignores them for now to ask.]

How good is your close combat skills?

[She doesn't want to deal with babysitting a reckless fool.]

Magic's more my thing.

[Long range is best, yes. He's not statted for close combat stuff.]

[Yeah, she might as well cover for him.]

What kind of magic?

[Oh, look. One of them summons more allies. She cast Mabufudyne again, weakening them well enough.]

Fire, darkness, and electricity. A little healing, too.

[He casts Lanceor Ch, the lightning spirit flashing in front of him for an instant before electricity rained down on the monster.]

A good range. Try not to get hurt.

[She watch the lightning spirit took down a monster. A form of summoning? She ignore the thought for now, turning her focus back onto the Heartlesses.]

Take them down quickly before they can summon more allies!

Uh, yeah.

[That's usually the goal. But he turns, summoning Vulcan for another attack.]

[This is draining him quickly, though... he won't be able to keep this up for much longer.]

[Slipping back into a leader role again. How nostalgic.

Another Neoshadow down. By now, Miyako have gotten a better idea of how they fight and move. Even if it means covering for this boy.

Between the two of them, they're beating down the enemies much faster than Miyako would do alone.

She cast Mabufudyne again, cutting down their numbers back down again. Two weakened ones left.]

[Vulcan seems to do the most damage, so he calls it once more, though the lower of the two tiers he has. Flames roast the monsters, and they disappear in black puffs.]

[Tsukasa lowers his staff and leans on it a little. He'll recover fast enough, but it'll take a minute or two.]

[Miyako flicked her phone close and put it away in her pocket. She still keep her sword out, just in case. After glancing around for any more monsters, she turns her attention to Tsukasa.]

Are you unharmed?

Yeah, just tired. It'll take a bit to recover my magic.

...Are you a summoner? [From the spells he cast, it makes her mildly curious now.]

Huh? Um... not exactly. That's just a high-level spell. I'm a Wavemaster. There's no real 'summoner' class in The World.

[She heard what he said. But she doesn't know the context behind them. Class can be something like...a role or position?]

What's The World? Your home world?

[(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻) What is with all of these people not knowing about The World?]

No. It's an MMORPG. A video game.

[Because her world doesn't have it. Even if it does, it wouldn't matter to her line of work. :|

She just stare at him, confused. What?]

This isn't what I really look like. This is what I look like in the video game that I play.

...In other words, your current form is an avatar. [Which is easier for her to understand.]

Yeah, exactly.

[It's the same thing duh!]

I wonder...

[From what seems to be a virtual world to a real world, yet this boy's spells are just as effective.]

...Heh, they really do brought in all kinds.

I guess.

[Mm. He can probably cast a spell now if he has to.]

I wish these things would drop more healing potions and mana recovery items.

[After fighting some monsters for a while, she knows about their item dropping tendency.]

Either you haven't fought the right enemies or you're simply unlucky.

Probably. It's just annoying.

Just handle it, unless you discover a better way.
