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.]

Neku | All days

[poweryetunknown]

[He's been lazy. He hasn't been training as much as he should have been, but then again he hasn't been treating this super-seriously.]

[He's got to make up for it now, which is why you'll find Neku running around, smashing through enemies with Narasimha or just setting them on fire with his Pins. He's gotten rusty with those, too, and now that he knows for sure that they work during the 13th hour he's getting some practice in.]

[Of course, if he sees someone in trouble, he'll probably help out if he can - at least with some healing.]

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke had never used a new Persona before. His current Soul Persona may have originally been Jiraiya and then turned into Susano-o, but it was still the same Persona, the single part of him, all along.

So getting a brand new Persona from the Velvet Room was an incredibly new experience to him, one he was all too excited about. And, as he himself was trying to get training for the tournament, it was entirely necessary that he try out using Apollo as soon as possible.

With his headphones over his ears and his focus on the thickening hordes of demons that were coming out during the Thirteenth Hour, though, Yosuke might not have exactly been aiming Apollo's Fire Punch very well...


So Apollo's attack might be whizzing by Neku and straight into a demon, nearly hitting the other teen in the process. Yosuke realizes his mistake quickly, though, and is pulling his headphones off of his head as he runs towards Neku with a worried look.]

Whoa, sorry, sorry!! I didn't hurt you, did I??

[poweryetunknown]

[Welp. Good thing he's fast, and has First Gear equipped anyway. He blinks out of view for a moment and then appears a few feet to the side.]

[He does manage to grin a bit at the guy running up to him, though.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Careful, though.

[That was pretty close. He summons Narasimha for a Mabufu, hitting a bunch of the ones around them to clear an area.]

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke just gives a bit of a nervous laugh, glad that this guy was pretty fast.]

Sorry about that, I'm kind of excited. I just got this Persona recently, it's kind of a rush using it for the first time.

[In contrast to Neku's Mabufu, when Yosuke summons Apollo, the Persona is casting Agidyne on a particularly mean looking demon.]

There weren't this many monsters before, I wonder where the hell they're coming from.

[poweryetunknown]

No clue. Do you think it's that freaky guy we first saw when we came here?

[It seems a reasonable guess.]

[... Crap. That one looks pretty tough. He switches Persona and brings out Wall of Grizzly to cast Tarunda on it, before swapping to Narasimha again for a Zionga.]

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke shakes his head as he watches Neku, giving a big smile. Wow, this kid had a lot of elements up his sleeve, it was kind of impressive.]

I'd be able to tell you more but I've never faced these kinds of things before. Whoever's behind these things it's probably some big bad guy with a grudge and not the guy who brought us here.

[Annnd his first thoughts go to the big bad Death Goddess that his best friend is trying to make friends with for some reason. Yosuke shakes his head before twirling the kunai in his hand and critical hitting another demon, sending Apollo in for Vile Assault.]

Have you ever used Personas before, back in your world? You're pretty good at it!

[poweryetunknown]

You'd be surprised what people with a lot of power will do to keep things interesting sometimes.

[Reapers why. He taps Lolita Bat, shooting off some force rounds, and then sends Narasimha in for a Maragi to test another demon's weakness.]

Huh? No. My Pins are a bunch of different kinds of attack, though - I I had to get used to using a lot of different stuff.

[disconinjafrog]

... Not really...

[Let us not talk about Adachi.] Pins?? You mean like... the kind you pin onto your clothes? You attack things with those?

[That might be one of the weirder things he's heard of. He's so interested in Neku that he doesn't even notice one of the demons coming up behind him.......]

[poweryetunknown]

Sort of. These are special, though - hey!

[He taps First Gear again to teleport behind Yosuke, and then taps Yoshimitsu to deliver a flurry of blows to the demon trying to sneak up on him.]

[disconinjafrog]

[Yosuke turns around and watches him, kind of in awe. Wow, holy crap, what world did this kid come from??

He takes a moment to break himself out of his trance and summons Apollo to set fire to a group of demons approaching from the side.]

Special how??

[poweryetunknown]

Like what you just saw.

[He summons Narasimha to tear through another few demons, before leaning against a building to catch his breath for a moment.]

[disconinjafrog]

[While Neku is taking five, Yosuke twirls the kunai in his hands and slashes through a few more demons in his way, cutting them down and kicking them into nothingness.]

That's not what I meant! I'm wondering how the heck they do that!! What world do you come from??

[poweryetunknown]

Hell if I know. They're part of the Reaper's Game. And yeah, like Grim Reaper.

[disconinjafrog]

Grim Reaper....? [Yosuke gives a bit of a nervous look, rubbing the back of his head.] I fought him before... he was stupidly tough.
