▼ When it is darkest, men see the stars...(13th hour)

The night sky once again turned red as the 13th hour hit the city. By now it was almost too easy to accept it. The moon (or what was of it up there) shone, affecting the monster population in subtle ways.

By now, even the strange events which had happened almost seemed a little too common. The pulls from a new building, or the odd creatures that showed up and increased the population for that hour gave rise to new oppertunities; both good and bad.

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, despite the dividing population on this issue. For the most part, there wouldn't be much resistance.

Each night, the sky was always filled with at least one or two signs of something new, and people were ushered inside buildings as much as possible.

Who knew. Maybe tonight you'd get lucky.

▼ Ode of the Newcomer

You're not in your homeworld anymore. That much is evident. So how do you feel? Happy? Sad? Troubled? A little of all three? No matter what, the memories of a butterfly man named Philemon are fading like a dream; you'll remember the details, but perhaps not everything he has said. What time you showed here seems to be as random as everything else; if you were lucky it was during the day, if not, well the 13th hour was rather dangerous. Fortunately, there was a high chance you'd be spotted quickly.

...hopefull anyway.

There is one word that stays with you, however.

Persona.

So...here to save the city, huh? First you'll need to find out more information. And who knows, maybe a familiar face or two...

▼ Extra Long OOC Blurb

[(Make sure you read it!) This is a dual log, both 13th hour, or newcomer posts (we're testing it out to see this works well or not.)

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.

If you are a newcomer, write OPEN and what hour they arrived. It can be the 13th hour if you want too!

Join other people's post, do some exploration, post them fighting monsters and just have some fun leveling up / interacting! For this log, you can level up persona, but not in the same thread and the same day, IC-wise. Please do not abuse this. The conditions is that the fighting must happen on different days. The threads should be long enough that an attack is possible and shouldn't just be a few comments just for the sake of leveling up (Ie, we want effort in them, as much as you would with a normal log.).

If you submitted a building and it was accepted, feel free to start a post with them discovering it! 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! Also, make sure your characters could logically take on the creatures you pick let's not have them take down a giant creature when they couldn't normally.]

DON'T FORGET TO TAG WITH YOUR CHARACTER'S NAME PLEASE.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

As if from nowhere, a man dressed as a priest steps up with an amused look on his face - he moves to stand beside Meetra, and lets out an awestruck noise at the swarm of Redead on their way.

"Oh my! Looks like you've put yourself in a tight spot, Miss!"

She remains frozen for a few seconds, but does manage to mutter while she tries to get her lightsaber ignited that "If you're that calm about it, you could help, you know."

At that, Xellos shrugs, stepping back from her once she's able to move again. "I could, but why do that when you've got everything under control, hmm?"

She does, in fact, manage to get her lightsaber ignited, which performs extremely well in knocking down, dismembering, and warding off the zombies.

It was also probably a good thing he stepped back.

"You're more of the observer type than the actually helpful type, I'm guessing."

"An astute deduction, Miss! After all, a priest's place is not on the field of battle," he answers, all smiles and decency. Underneath that, though, is curiosity - why can't he sense any kind of emotion from this woman?

"Depends on the religion," she says simply, looking over what was left of the ghouls. Nothing useful. In turn, the Force wasn't telling her much about this person's intentions either, although common sense and years of experience told her not to trust a smile like that.

"Do you need help getting somewhere safe? There's a lot more monsters around, especially if you're not a fighter."

The religion comment causes Xellos to chuckle quietly - she's far too right about that one, but no need to make that known.

"I believe I'll be alright - I'm merely investigating the effects of this '13th hour' phenomenon, and I've always been good at avoiding danger!"

"Well, most of what seems to happen is the city gets an extra dose of demons. Usually things that wandered in from the same places us Visitors did," she says. "There's also physical changes to a lot of places in the city - some connected to our homeworlds, some not. I don't suggest playing around the mountain at night, by the way. The only thing of use anyone's found there is especially dangerous."

"I see," he answers, stroking at his chin a bit. The demons could prove bothersome, or useful - or both. He turns, then points at the mountain's general direction. "That one? What was found there?"

"Supposedly, a portal to other dimensions," she said. "And some statues I think look pretty terrible, but I'm not an art critic or anything."

And cue one look of shock and curiosity. "My, my - that's quite a big thing to only 'supposedly' exist."

"Well, something sent some of us to a different one of these weird crossroad-worlds, and everyone seems to believe it was this 'Shining Trapezohedron' thing," she explained, slightly annoyed at the memory. "I've got no reason to believe it was something else, really."

That curious look begins to take over more than the faux shock one. "A device with the power to move people between worlds. I do wonder if that is what brought us to this one..."
