After questions were answered, a man finally appears into the room, after having talked with his daughter.

"I apologize for making you all wait."

After introducing himself, Takeharu begins to explain in more detail what they've learned from this world. He goes on about the life in the city, the hurdles they had to overcome...and the strange phenomenon of the 13th hour.

"...and once midnight hits, a 13th hour commences. We had a name for a similar phenomenon in my world; the Dark Hour. However, this one doesn't seem to be caused by rampaging Shadows. We are still investigating as to why it exists...and in due time you might aid us in this task. You will all be able to observe it for yourselves quickly enough, although I would strongly suggest doing so in your own apartments. Not only are you all new visitors, previous Persona users or otherwise, but the moon is full tonight, which means the demonic population will be at a dangerous, aggressive level."

"Now before we continue, we should talk about the--"

"I repeat..."

"Damn! Six out of Twelve," A gruff-looking man stepped into the room. Judging from his outfit, he was important.

"I only know one group who's able to pull this off...the Anoli."

Takeharu looks at Kiyoshi and both men nod silently.

"We were going to talk about this later, but we don't have much time to explain who they are..."

More men appear; members of the city's Special Assault Team. About half of the men have a small flame insignia on their uniform's elbow; this signifies they are Persona users.

While Takeharu explains to the new arrivals, Kiyoshi is busy on some screens, and is talking to others by holographic projection.

"Give me a status report!"

"Sir! I've got two men down here. The doors are holding but we'll need backup as soon as you can give it to me!"

"I've got a group in route, and soon a Persona team as well."

"Reiko and myself are holding, but I believe they've been sending the blunt of their force here and in the Gemini area. No doubt to steal the prototypes we've been working on..."

"We should be able to fight them back for now, but I can't tell how many they are."

"I've got team Beta heading over. I'll send a team of Users as well."

"Sir! Massive attack in the Virgo Sector! They've broken some of the fences holding back the demonic population. There's risk of civilian casualties at this rate..."

"DAMMIT! Send a team of Wands there to patch that up as soon as they are available. I'll send a team with them to protect while they do their work."


"Sir! The Gemini Power Plant is under attack! I think they're attempting a blackout so they can get into the Laboratory."

"This is a nightmare. And where is--"

"--he went off to fight them."

"DAMMIT! We can't let him get harmed. I'm sending a team after him."

"Libra's Coin Office Tower is under attack, Sir! They're trying to get to the upper levels where we have the monetary databanks."

"A heist as well...damn they really went all out for this one...trying to cripple us from all angles."

When he's finally done, he turns over to the entire crowd. His voice is as booming as his body language. Despite the crisis he is calm and collected, easy to see why he is the Commissioner General.

"Alright listen up, since I can't repeat myself twice! We have a major crisis our hands. Anoli have broken into six sectors and my men can't fight all of them at once. None of you know me and I only know your names. Most of you haven't used a Persona yet, but I bet you've all got a few tricks up your sleeves. Magic, Weapons, Technology, whatever it is, bring it with you and we'll form you into teams. We were going to do this much more quietly later, but it looks like the Anoli have a different idea."

"Priority number one is to protect all civilians and to keep deaths as low as possible, even against the Anoli. Disarm, disable, diswhatever, as long as it's not kill and destroy. I'd rather let them in jail and face justice than to spill even more blood from this conflict." He turns around and starts to leave,

"If any of you lack weapons, talk to Q. I'm sure he'll be happy to provide you with some."

Policemen swarm around him and they start to go off in work and prepare, leaving you a bit of time before you are all called out in groups.

[OOC - Groups will be rolled later tonight, and then each mission will get it's own log. Those who wish to join in the first mission must do so in the sign-up post [LINKED HERE], but signing up doesn't mean you'll get picked - only that you are okay with joining this mission.]

"Pardon me." Kanaya stepped up to the elderly human, a little unsure if she was eligible. "I... have a question. There is one weapon in my possession, but it is very minimal. A chainsaw. Will this be suitable?"

[therooms]

A less finer man would have blinked at Kanaya's appearance, but Q was not only British, but he also worked in MI6. Clearly, this wasn't something that would surprise him, ergo he chatted with her nonchalantly.

"My dear, while I do find such a weapon rather...unique, it is perhaps a little too violent considering Mr.Suou's requirement to keep most of our enemies alive. Although if one were to ask me, I believe that protecting your own life is important. If you would like additional weapons, I may have a few things for you."

[deathbylipstick]

...That was easy. Yes, Kanaya had no idea what she was doing, and for all she trusted her chainsaw, she did feel that with the new threats maybe a few more armaments would be recommended.

"Yes, I would like that very much."

[therooms]

"Perhaps something for a refined lady, if you will let me..." He moved her into the storage area and brought out a small box, with what looked to be ordinary cosmetics inside.

"Now let's see. There's quite a few little things in here that might strike your fancy; laser powered lipstick holder, a face powder jar that contains sleeping powder, high explosive eyeshadow..."

[deathbylipstick]

"Oh, look at these," she said, impressed. "Well. They would certainly suit my uses, except for the lipstick, because..." She paused for a moment, trying to figure out how to explain this, and then decided to show him instead. She took a step back and pulled out her own tube of lipstick, twisting the bottom.

It promptly turned into a chainsaw.

[therooms]

She got a small smile of approval. Young lady, congratulations, you had Q being impressed. "Well I suppose that would be a minor annoyance taking out the wrong one, I do agree."

He put forth the sleeping powder, the eyeshadow, tne nail polish and then took out what looked like a hair spray bottle.

"A simple twist of the bottle will cause the chemicals inside to become dense. Spray it on your target to cause the liquid inside to expand and engulf them from any movement. The effects should last about an hour or two."

>You have gained: 1 case of sleeping face powder, 1 bottle of explosive eyeshadow, 1 bottle of high density mousse, 3 bottles of slippery nail polish.

[deathbylipstick]

It's even functional as a cosmetic object too! Can your lipstick do that, Q? Huh?

...No really she was very appreciative of Q's help, and it showed. She smiled brightly as she took the objects, committing their use to memory. "Thank you very much, sir. I do feel much better in this new environment now."
