Summary: This is a General 13th hour log.
Warnings: That depends who is there

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...

Extra Long OOC Blurb

[(Make sure you read it!)

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.]

[That tugging sensation was the weirdest sensation he'd ever felt, pulling him along a path as if he were set on tracks. He couldn't even stop himself as he was drawn along through the Virgo district at night, kunai held tightly in his cautious hands and headphones blaring music over his ears. Whatever was pulling him, he had a very bad feeling about where he was going to end up....

And that bad feeling proved to be entirely correct, though for completely different reasons than he'd been expecting. There wasn't a big evil monster waiting for him at the end of the line... nothing to put his life in danger, but instead his continually thinning reputation.

Yosuke panics and hides behind a car parked alongside the road, peeking at the familiar towering building of Junes. What the hell was that doing here?! But more importantly, he was hiding from the crowd in front of it, the crowd of terrifying giggling girls and women taking pictures and freaking out at the fact that there was a store named after their favorite book.

Damnit.

Yosuke turns on the handy dandy watch on his wrist and types a message to the Investigation Team as he watches the scene unfolding.]

com 2 virgo ward quick theres somethin here thats BIG

[He then snaps a picture of the building and attaches it to the message before putting away his comp and calculating the best method of approaching the building without being seen...]

[bondsofsuffering]

[You know who else likes to hang round cars? This kid. 'Sup again, Yosuke.]

Junes? Isn't that one of the places in that one book? What was it called again...

[...Where did he come from, anyway? He's making no attempt to hide himself as he stands near the car, peering at the new building.]

[disconinjafrog]

[OHMYGOD YOU SCARED HIM!!

Yosuke jumps backwards and pretty much falls over as he looks at Hizumi with the most surprised and panicked face. He takes a deep breath as he sits up, rubbing the back of his head.]

Dude, when the hell did you get here??

[Yosuke looks at the building again and shakes his head.]

Hell if I know why it's here, but that isn't from the stupid book. The book is based off of a rumor about that store. The store's from my world, my dad was the manager.

[bondsofsuffering]

Just now. You didn't notice?

[It's not like he specifically snuck up with the purpose of surprising Yosuke, nope.]

Manager though, huh? That's funny... Why would a store your father managed end up here? I mean, I can see the link, but it can't be that strong...

[bearpuns]

[ Teddie didn't need a text to remind him where he needed to be. Yosuke was in trouble and he had to help. Knowing Yosuke, Teddie would probably have to save the day again!! Walking up, he looked at Junes and frowned, noticing him. He also noticed the ladies, but hurried to the other first ]

What happened?! Does Teddie need to save the day?

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke turns to look at Teddie and gives a sigh, shaking his head.]

Junes... the whole damn store showed up here for some reason, now people are gathering and talking about it!! Probably because of that stupid book that came out about it!! If I'm seen by any of those people over there I might get mauled!

[bearpuns]

Don't worry Yosuke, I have an idea! [ With that Teddie starts taking off his costume. He pops out of it full clothed in his usual garb, smiling to the other. Handing of his precious costume, he looks seriously at Yosuke ]

You better take good care of my bear suit!! [ With that, he hurries off to the crowd, pulling off a winning smile before....]

Is there anything a bear can do to help you ladies?

[ .....and there's the sparkles. ]

[linefacingforever]

[Oh you bet your leader is just kinda... flabbergasted right now. WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON, PARTNER?!]

That's not the only thing.

[He snapped a picture of the Dojima house and sent it along with his message.]

[disconinjafrog]

[.... Whoa.]

what the hell
whats dojima-sans house doin here???

[This is getting insane.]

[linefacingforever]

Don't know.

Same reason as Junes I guess. I feel like something else is here too, but I need to keep an eye on Nanako.

COMP Message

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[When Yukiko gets his message, her response is a video but it doesn't look like she's around. Actually, it's kind of dark in the area but you can certainly hear her.]

There's more places from home showing up?

[video]

[disconinjafrog]

[Switching to video for the time being cause he doesn't like texting all that much, but his voice is hushed. His face is actually visible, though.]

More?? Yu sent me a pic of Dojima-san's house, but there's more?

[video]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

The inn is here too. That's where I am right now.

[And to prove it, the video shows the hot spring along with Amaterasu floating around for light.]

[selematpagi]

[ And while Yosuke is typing on his watch, he may not notice a brown-haired girl shuffling past him. Then shuffling back the way she came because she just saw a boy being suspicious. ]

What the heck are you doing down there?

[ Yeah great hiding spot Yosuke. ]

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke jumps a little- wow is he jumpy tonight or what- before he looks up at the girl staring down at him.]

Err... hiding from them?? [He peeks up a little to look at the crowd of women. Several of them looked like they were trying to break inside the storefront, checking doors and windows.]

[selematpagi]

[ Wow, Yukko was under the impression that Yosuke was being a creep - until she turns to look at the store front. Gosh that's a huge crowd! ]

What are they doing? [ She tilts her head, not sure what to make of the women pawing at the windows. ] Hey, wait, Junes. I've heard that name before! Wasn't from some tv show? Or something?

[ ... Yukko doesn't read all that much. ]

[electricyousei]

Ruri was exploring that night and she stopped on the other side of the car Yosuke was hiding behind.

"Isn't that the place in that horribly written book for old ladies?"

[disconinjafrog]

Yosuke looks up at her, a little startled. He sighs heavily and gives a small nod.

"Unfortunately. Junes existed before the book, though, it's a department store from my world. The book was based on a stupid rumor about the store."

open, huh...

[handshakegreeting]

[Oh, don't mind her, she was just passing by and minding her own business when she noticed the changes and-

... Well. This place was going to be popular soon.

Popcorn, anyone?]

[disconinjafrog]

[It took Yosuke a second to realize that there was someone standing nearby behind him. He turns around slowly and nearly has a heart attack when he sees the familiar face of that-one-son-of-a-bitch death goddess looking way too amused by this whole scene...

He narrows his eyes at her.]

What do you want?

[primordial]

[Hey, you want a popcorn buddy? Sam will totally be your popcorn buddy, Izanami. Though at the moment he's just staring up at the place with an intrigued look, before he glances over and practically doubletakes because oh wait, it's you.]

O-oh. Hello there. [A pause.] You know this place?

[celebrity_commentator]

Rise checked her watch, and sent back a voice call. This was too confusing to spend time typing in an appropriately emoticoned manner.

"Junes too? What's going on here?"

[disconinjafrog]

"I wish I knew. Did you get drawn anywhere too, Rise-chan?" He's kind of concerned about all of this.

You know that there had to be a Junes in Iwatodai or something.

[fools_journey]

[ On his way to the shrine, Minato passes right on by Junes and -- stops for a moment, because wow this is... also unexpected. Who knew the chain would be opening up a branch in another world? He smiles a little to himself and watches the crowd for a moment in bemused curiosity. So many people out this late... it's like whenever there's a new release and everyone lines up outside back home...

He wonders if whomever brought the store here knows about that book series. Still, he doesn't mind taking a short break to catch his breath (he's been running because he wandered out with just boxer shorts on his legs, and it's cold!). But that... doesn't stop him from singing the annoyingly catchy Junes commercial jingle to himself. ]

♫ Every day's great at your Junes~ ♪

Considering Yosuke's dad probably worked at one in Iwatodai YUP

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke jumps when he hears Minato singing the commercial jingle. He really hadn't been expecting to hear that.]

Damn, you scared me. You know Junes's jingle too??

[Yosuke has heard that commercial jingle about a million times, he is sick to death of it and now he's suddenly realizing that he won't be able to escape it here either.]
