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

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.]

[primordial]

You say that as if I want to tell it.

[He sighs and looks away. Ugh, if only he could be by himself...but he could totally use this kid as a shield if worse comes to worse. Overall, not totally a bad idea to take him along.]

I don't see why you would want to, but alright. Sure.

[bondsofsuffering]

I dunno, from what you've said it sounds like the kind of thing you'd need to get off of your chest! Not that I'm a psychologist or anything, but that's supposed to help the healing process or whatever, isn't it?

[Golly Sam, we are going to run into problems when Hizumi tries to use you for the exact same thing.]

[primordial]

You'd be wrong about that. I don't really want to get it off my chest, so please...stop asking.

[He almost looks angry at that, and he clenches his fists at his sides as he keeps walking forward.]

It's...too painful, alright?

1/2

[bondsofsuffering]

[Oops. Pushed too hard, maybe?]

2/2

[bondsofsuffering]

...Fine, I'll let it drop. It's not healthy to pull at these things, either.

...I think? I probably should've looked into psychology more. [Especially after ending up here of all places.]

So! What else can we talk about? Walking in silence would be kind of awkward, yeah?

[primordial]

You can say that again.

[He rubs his forehead as he gazes back at Hifumi with a somber expression, before giving him a shrug at his question.]

I don't know. Just anything that's not myself...why don't you tell me abut you?

[bondsofsuffering]

"Me? There's not too much to tell, really..."

"My name is Hizumi Mizushiro, and I'm from Japan - oh, but not this kind of a Japan. One of the normal ones, without any of that supernatural stuff!" Haha... Right. "Recently I've been traveling with an acquaintance aaaaall around the world. It's been very interesting!"

[primordial]

Really?

[A dubious look.]

You look too young to go on a long journey like hat...who's your acquaintance?

[bondsofsuffering]

Hey, I'm not that young! Besides, isn't it good to broaden your horizons and see new places?

Anyway, the guy's kind of like... a family acquaintance, I guess? He was going on a trip, so he let me come with. Pretty cool, huh?

[primordial]

I don't know. I've never really seen the point in it.

What, and your family said yes? Your parents must have been eager to let you go...

[bondsofsuffering]

You should really consider getting out there more. There's a big world to see!

[He gives a nonchalant shrug at the second part.]

Family didn't really factor into it. I wanted to go, so I went.

[primordial]

No, thanks. I've seen enough of it to last a lifetime...

[A long pause.]

You ran away from home, then.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Now he looks mildly affronted.]

Hey, hey, hey! I'm not such a bad kid that I'd run away from home!

[Ughhh. He explains, but in a tone that makes it clear just how much of a pain it is you had better be grateful Sam.]

I told you, he's a family acquaintance, right? He told my parents about it and they said I could come with if I wanted. [Not that they would have had much of a choice in the matter, assuming Kiyotaka really did check in with them.

Then again, Hizumi hadn't been in much of a position to disagree, either.]

[primordial]

Huh.

[He didn't know parents were so...open to letting their kids do stuff? But he stares at Hizumi for a while before giving a shrug.]

What kinds of things did you see?

[bondsofsuffering]

All sorts! I'd already been to America, so we hit up a bunch of other countries. It was mostly the usual tourist-y stuff, but it was an interesting trip!

[primordial]

And were you last, before you were brought here?

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, as a matter of fact--

[Wait.]

--Actually, why are you so curious? I thought you weren't interested in seeing the rest of the world.

[primordial]

I'm not.

[A slight shrug.]

I'm just interested in people. Because...well, they've got way better stories than I will ever have.

[bondsofsuffering]

I dunno, getting into trouble with someone at a world-class business sounds pretty interesting to me!

[He didn't forget that little detail yet.]

[primordial]

[He visibly bristles at that.]

No! No, I...I didn't get in trouble. It wasn't like that.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, it definitely sounded like some kind of trouble. Right?

[primordial]

It wasn't trouble. It was...a disagreement. Something like that. I'm not going to go into the details, okay?

[bondsofsuffering]

Did you get chewed out for giving some bad customer service or something?

[Sigh.]

Well, whatever. What about the rest of your life? Since you've already got mine.

[primordial]

Not at all. They were quite happy with my work, actually.

[He gives a shrug.]

What is there to say? I'm no one special...its not like I'm some big movie star or go travel around the world. I'm just...well, me.

[bondsofsuffering]

Well, yeah, but you also haven't said anything solid about yourself in the whole time we've been talking to each other. It makes me curious!
