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.]

Actually, it's your conscience.

[His conscience obviously manifests in Viridi's voice because she is his favorite goddess.]

It's reminding you to make your weekly tribute to the great benevolent nature goddess.

...Also it says that that thing is still really creepy.

[primordial]

[Obviously, if he had a conscience to begin with, Viridi would be his narrator of choice. Except not.]

I don't need my conscience to tell me that, that's for sure.

...

Are you hiding somewhere...? I can't see you.

[forceofnature]

...Seriously? I've never not talked to you by telepathy. What, you think I'm hiding in a bush and using my little-known powers of divine ventriloquism?

[primordial]

Well, unless you really like griping to me about things like railroad plots out of the blue, which I don't think you would, I think I walked in on your little tantrum by accident, which then leads to the fact that you're somewhere nearby.

[well, look at that, he does have a head on his shoulders.]

[forceofnature]

Oh. That was more of a... global telepathy sort of thing. I mean, it's no fun just talking out loud to myself; only total losers do that kind of thing.

If you really want to gaze upon my glorious visage, though, you can try looking up.

[primordial]

Riiiiight.

...I won't be smited or anything if I do so, will I?

[forceofnature]

Don't worry. If I'm going to smite anyone, I'd start with #1 on the list. You're only 23rd. ...Maybe 22nd.

[She probably does keep a list.]

[primordial]

I don't know whether to be happy that I'm such a high number or worried that I'm even on your list at all...

[forceofnature]

Don't take it personally! Everyone gets slotted in at some point or another. You might get rotated out to the reserves section if you really grovel, though.

[primordial]

G-g-grovel?? To you?

[forceofnature]

I also accept humble swearing of fealty, declarations of undying loyalty, and firstborn newborn calves.

But not Mastercard, sorry. Rising costs of vendor transaction fees and all that.

[primordial]

I don't have any calves, and I technically already have someone I've, erm, "declared my undying loyalty" to.

...You actually know what Mastercard is?

[forceofnature]

Oops. Wait. Copyright infringement.

Um, nope, never heard of it, I meant to say... Mistresscard, the lesser known but much more feminist-friendly version of your favorite flimsy piece of favorite.

...
...
...

Anyway! Back to undying loyalty. You what?!

[primordial]

Riiiight.

[A slight shrug.]

Yeah, I already did that. The pledging loyalty to somebody thing. It belongs to someone else. [A beat.] Sorry.

[forceofnature]

Huh.

I didn't think you were the type to have the moxie to commit wholeheartedly to something.

Soooo... who is it?

Girlfriend~?

[primordial]

[There's a long pause, as if he's distracted by his own thoughts and didn't hear the question, before he suddenly snaps to attention, shaking his head.]

Oh? No, no, I...I never had one. A girlfriend, I mean.

[forceofnature]

...What, don't tell me you're already religious.

[primordial]

Do you really think I'm religious if my first instinct to your saying you were a goddess wasn't "Blasphemy" or "How dare you, there is only one God"?

No, I don't believe in that sort of stuff. The one I'm loyal to is real.

...

Not that I'm saying you aren't real, but they're no god or goddess.

[forceofnature]

Oh.

Hm.

.......Boooyfriend?

[primordial]

Why does it have to be romantic...god, no, no, it's not a boyfriend. Forget the romance stuff, it isn't like that.

[forceofnature]

I'm the goddess of nature! I have to encourage procreation and all that! Definitely part of my duties.

[alternatively she's just a nosy git.]

Anyway, if you don't want to swear fealty to me, I guess we could just work something out on a temporary scale. Like, a lease or something.

[primordial]

Nature and the promotion of fertility aren't exactly the same things, you know.

[Resisting the urge to facepalm.] Loyalty isn't like an apartment or a house, Viridi...you can't just give it to someone for a little while and take it back as soon as the time is over.

Can you...?

[forceofnature]

Haven't you ever heard of mercenaries? Or a part-time job? It's not like you have to actually care about me; you can just pretend.

[primordial]

I have, but...

Why in the world do you want someone like me to pretend to like you? I mean, wouldn't you want the real deal?

[forceofnature]

I take what I can get from humans at this point.

...Well, I mean, anything that's not smog, CPCs, plastics, and waste chemicals.
