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.]

yeeeep...

[Aqua waits for him at the door, still staring up at the outside of the place she created all those years ago. A part of her is almost afraid that if she enters and heads for a certain chamber, she'll find Ven there... fast asleep... and at the same time, afraid that he won't be there (logic dictates it's the latter, but still... she can hope, right?)

She tears her gaze from it in favor of looking to Terra when he gets closer. What was going on...?]

[quakega]

[Castle Oblivion kind of puts his own news to shame. What's an ice cream parlor compared to... to this?

He dismisses his Glider while he's still in mid-air and lands not far from the front door. Okay. These doors were even creepier during the Dark Hour. Looking at Aqua now, and seeing that confusion. If the ice cream parlor had been anything to go by, then...

Right. Not an isolated incident.] New places are popping up all over the city.

[Looking back at the castle now. Light above, that sinking feeling is getting worse.] ... Do you think we'll find anything in there?

[It's the Dark Hour; anything could happen.]

[destinedwaters]

[Hey, any other news may be good news. And better, considering this was way too bittersweet.

They really were creepy in the red moonlight. She frowns slightly, but nods.]

I can sense at least one more familiar place, but for some reason I don't feel as drawn to it.

[More like not wanting to go there again ever, but she wasn't going to specify that. The feeling she's getting from standing before this place is growing stronger.]

...I know one thing we can find. Other than that, it's anyone's guess.

[Pretty much, big bro.]

[quakega]

[Looking back at her, and ... head-tilt.] Really? Huh.

[They can check it out later. Looking back at the doors. ... Sighing, and handing over--

... ice cream? Royalberry, to be precise.] Here; I have a few others in case we need them.

[To someone that isn't In The Know, this might seem really strange...]

[destinedwaters]

[She nods.] Mm.

[...Wait what. Where did he-?

... He mentioned other places. What's more, Xion said she felt a similar tug and began asking if she was being led to the castle, too.

Did he get this from...?]

Did you feel a similar tug, Terra? [Taking the ice cream, of course.]

[quakega]

[Juuuust going to nod at that.] It led me to the Virgo District. The ice cream parlor was waiting for me when I got there.

[A pause, and then there's a half-smile on his face that almost looks sheepish.] I was going to tell you about it in the morning, but then I got your message.

[Which... yeah. It had seemed like a good idea to stock up and head over.]

[destinedwaters]

...Well, at least we'll have somewhere to stock up later on.

[She smiles back, just a little bit teasing. Very good thinking, older bro.] So, shall we?

[quakega]

[Just going to nod again, and laugh a little. Ice cream is the ultimate mood breaker.] Yeah; we don't even have to fight Prize Pods for the ingredients.

[Which was a plus, considering where Prize Pods came from. ... Well. Looking back at the doors, and then back to Aqua and nodding.] Let's go--

[Pausing, instead of finishing that statement. Why did it just now occur to him that he hadn't...

Well. Remedying this. Lightly bowing, and finishing that thought..] Lead the way, Master Aqua.

[Congrats, sis. However late it is in coming, he... is happy for you. He's just a knucklehead sometimes.]

[destinedwaters]

[Ice cream is the best mood breaker, you mean.] That's a relief.

[...

It's... strange, hearing that title attached to her name. Even more so that her own brother is bowing to her, however lightly it may be. What made it even more potent is that she'd only accepted it when staring down a certain possessed someone, and that's because she was furious.

It's a second before, for what feels like a long time, she smiles and nods back.]

Mm. Stay close, Terra.

[She knew. She always knew, even though at first the disappointment in himself outweighed the happiness. Maybe at least in this world, they would have the opportunity to fix what had been strained at best.

...She opens the door, revealing the familiar entryway and two sets of stairs. Up, and down.]

[quakega]

[Absolutely the best mood breaker.

He sighs, and wordlessly follows Aqua inside, the stark white of the walls putting him on edge. It was too... barren. Too cold. Castle Oblivion didn't feel like their home anymore.

Those two staircases present he and Aqua with a conundrum.] ... So. Which way?

[He has a feeling he should call his Keyblade soon...]

[destinedwaters]

[No, it didn't. Maybe in this form, it wasn't anymore, either. Now it was more like a mausoleum, a hollow shell of what it had once been meant to protect both what their world was, the memories inside it they'd shared, and a certain sleepyhead.

One she wasn't able to sense, but the darkness that lingers...]

...Down. We can always return back here through the crystal orbs there.

[She may suck with decoration, but at least she was thoughtful enough to leave a way for people to escape Oblivion? ...And yes, he probably should.]
