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)! ]

Not trying to fight the music, Taiyou followed it again, just as the previous night. It's not like he could've stopped if he tried, because its allure was somehow stronger than before. And a boy like him had a curious heart. At least this time he had enough sense about him to hold an umbrella over his head, however cheap.

Idly walking through the line of stores, the same street as yesterday evening, he was interrupted from his mindless following when he heard a mumble. There was an older teenager there, in a hoodie. He looked a bit confused, so Taiyou quietly approached and gave the stranger a gentle nudge.

"You okay there mister?"

"Buh?" Oh oops someone else was talking to him, so he just looks at the kid, then looks back at the reflection and points, as if trying to confirm if the other teen sees...that.

"Huh?" He blinks. Was someone there just now? He rubs his eyes with his free hand, and squints. Why did it feel more like a reflection than the figure being inside? There's no one else here but the two of them... right?

That's what it looks like to him, but just to make sure, he looks behind the two of them. No ghost dude in sight. Kaito then stares at the guy trying to talk to him, blinking a bit stupidly.

"...You see it too?" It's not just him, right?

"Yeah I. I think so." To make extra sure, he's using his free hand to wave around too to make sure there wasn't some Invisibill around. And when that didn't work, he looks up at Kaito for a while, and then shifts his gaze back to the window.

"Eyes. He has eyes."

Calling those black voids "eyes" might be a bit too generous for his tastes, and for the first time in awhile, Kaito feels the heavy weight of fear pressing in on him from all sides. This...what was this, fear mingling with...something else. What could...?

And then the being started to move forward, possibly toward something but it was hard to tell due to the reflection. Where was it going?

"Hey..." It's clear that he's more talking to the reflection than to Taiyou, starting to follow it. "Hey!" He starts to go faster, stops, then gestures at Taiyou to follow. Kaito's not dumb enough to follow that thing alone!

With a small grunt of acknowledgement, Taiyou steps forward, following after Kaito. At this point he didn't care about properly holding the umbrella over his head, and gives chase. It's probably a good question why they're following a mysterious figure, but at this point there wasn't any better option.

Well, with Kaito it's always been a matter of "jump into shit with wild and reckless abandon" while foregoing any questions. Besides, they can probably ask the figure plenty of things when they catch up with him!
