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.]

Desco pauses for a second to think.

"Desco is trying to train her Persona...so she shouldn't be using her killer skills."

And with that, her tentacles vanish and she is...actually walking. On the ground.

[bakegarasu]

Otoha walks along with her for a bit, before getting an idea.

"Do you want to ride on my back?"

They'd probably go faster, anyway.

[tyrantball]

Staring up at you with shocked, delighted eyes. Nobody has ever offered her a piggyback ride before!

She is so shocked, in fact, that all she can do is nod dumbly, smiling broadly all the while.

[bakegarasu]

He turns around and kneels so she can climb on.

"Up we go."

[tyrantball]

Desco clambers on!

...gracefully, and with great care, because seriously she has giant crimson claws for fingers.

[bakegarasu]

He's pretty resilient, actually, but once he's sure she's secure he takes off running.

... He moves pretty quickly for someone without much supernatural enhancement at the moment. Yatagarasu disappears as they run, and more than once he simply leaps up onto cars or stands or other obstacles and jumps off with a blatant disregard for safety, sense, or laws of physics.

[tyrantball]

Desco regards things like that as beneath her, so she is having the time of her life!

Hopefully you don't mind the delighted laughter of children, Otoha.

[bakegarasu]

He can't help it - he grins a bit. They run past some weaker monsters and Otoha summons Yatagarasu, who skewers them as they go.

[tyrantball]

Desco thinks that looks like great fun, so she goes ahead and summons Dragonlord and begins blasting monsters with fire spells as you zip around.

[bakegarasu]

Okay, he'll admit. This is fun. It's not quite the kind of killing stuff he's used to, but Desco's morals seem strange enough that they work well together.

There's the scent of alcohol in the air, and the world looks like it freezes around them. Otoha jumps, steps on a monster's head, jumps off, and grabs a window ledge on the side of a building before the world unfreezes. He pulls himself up and reaches up again, pulling them up to the top of the low building.

[tyrantball]

Desco's eyes are wide with surprise.

"That was cool!"

[bakegarasu]

"I think so, too. It's a skill I picked up in the last place I was in."

'Brush God Power', okay whatever it's still awesome.

[tyrantball]

And now she's curious.

"Umm...where is Mr. Otoha from?"

[bakegarasu]

"I'm from Shinjuku, in Japan. But I spent the last year in a multidimensional city kind of like this one. No Personas, though."

At least none that he had. There was other... weird stuff, though.

"... Where are you from?"

[tyrantball]

She hums a little as she thinks it over.

"Desco is from Hades, but before she came here she and Big Sis were working as teachers at Netherworld Institute Evil Academy."

[bakegarasu]

"Hades... isn't that where dead people go?"

Mythology, what is that.

[tyrantball]

Nod nod.

"You are the first person to get that right!"

At this point she's pretty much given up on correcting people about that.

"When bad people die, they go to Hades and get made into Prinnies!"

[bakegarasu]

... Okay he has to ask.

"What's a Prinny?"

[tyrantball]

Desco looks down at the street and points to a cluster of penguin-like things leaning against a lamp post, smoking and chatting.

"Those are! Right there!"

[bakegarasu]

... Welp.

"Are they demons?"

[tyrantball]

"Uh huh!"

Nod nod.

"They're the weakest and most pathetic demons of all! They do back-breaking labor for less than minimum wage, and are therefore freely derided and abused!"

...she says that so cheerfully.

[bakegarasu]

... Hm.

"Is it their fault that they're so weak?"

[tyrantball]

"Probably not!"

So cheerful.

"But they have to atone for their sins somehow!"

[bakegarasu]

Let him see if he's got this right.

"So because they've sinned, they become Prinnies when they die, and they do work for a while?" Or something.

[tyrantball]

"Yes!"

A slight pause as she taps her lower lip with one claw.

"Desco secretly asked a Prinny about his sins once, and he said he was a cougar-hunter that made countless women cry."

Looking at you with innocent red eyes.

"Aren't cougars just big cats? Why would women cry over them?"
