Who: Open to anyone, but anyone from the first log will be doubly urged to come.
Where: Starting in Virgo, leading in to Gemini.
Summary: The next night, the song is back, and even stronger...but this time, it seems to have a purpose.
Warnings: Secondary, small plot event
The 27th seemed to have been a bust. Many stood around, discussing the strange music, before eventually retiring when exhaustion hit after the 13th hour...and boy did it. Strangely, the civilian population- even persona users -reported to not hearing anything at all.

The night of the 28th, it happened again. The same song, the same pleading call, to the same row of shops. But something did change, as midnight melted quickly towards the Thirteenth hour.

Another noise sought to be heard over the music- this one akin to television static. If one looked closely at the glass of the nearby shop windows, they could see something cloudy forming on them...but that was only a reflection. Nothing stood in that spot in the street. A figure took form amid the shimmered raindrops, only visible in the reflection of the rain and the glass. A ghost, glowing dimly, with eyes so pitch black that one could never see through them. And where were those unending eyes pointed? Up at Mount Utsugi, giving way to Mictlan...

It moved instinctively, heading for the structure without any glance at the Persona users it had called out to. The piper had it's children, and now it only had to lead them...

[ OOC: Feel free to try to interact with the ghostly figure, or just go along for the ride! And just to clarify, yeah the ghost has no physical form- it's only visible in reflective surfaces -so if you wanna follow it, you might need a mirror or something. If you want to know if something would work for that, just bug me on plurk (gaakishi)! ]

Kisuke had missed the mysterious song the previous night. But when he noticed the song playing the following night, he couldn't help but set off to find what it was about. When he arrived at the scene, he froze for a moment at the reflection on the windows.

A ghost? Kisuke narrowed his eyes as if to get a better look. This wasn't the kind of ghost he was used to back from his home world.

Curiosity took the better of the little ninja; Kisuke took hold of one of his swords and unsheathed the blade just enough to get the reflection of the figure as he followed after.

Elaine had also missed the song the night before, but it was loud and clear to her now. She stepped outside to seek it out and was just in time to see a young man heading off down the street with a half-unsheathed sword.

"I hope you don't plan on running with that out all night." She called to him. "Seems a bit dangerous, don't you think?"

Kisuke stopped in his tracks when he heard a voice. A lady walking around during the dead of the night?

"There's some weird shadow walkin'." Kisuke replied as he nodded towards the spot the figure was...supposedly. "Can't see it under the naked eye, but seems like it shows up on reflections. Don't have anything else that's handy at the moment."

"You mean like a ghost?" Elaine asked. "Is that what's making all of this music, then?"

[ikayakisuke]

"Seems like it." Kisuke replied with a nod. "As for whether this thing's a ghost or not, I dunno. Different from the ghosts I've seen back in my home world."

With the undead being so commonplace in the Tri-Island Area, Elaine didn't see anything strange about discussing them in the dead of night like she was chatting about the weather: "Mine, too. I know a lot about dealing with ghosts, but not ones that hide in reflections. May have to find a way to lure it out... once we figure out where it's going, anyway."
