▼ 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.

Comments

[electricyousei]

"No. I only had a ping that someone would be here. So I came here and looked for the person who didn't look like they knew this place."

[prettytamer]

She fees a little silly. "Oh, okay. That makes sense. I'm Midori Komaki, nice to meet you! What's your name?"

[electricyousei]

"Hoshino Ruri. This happens about once a month, and I figure its better to have someone who isn't completely insane meet new people."

[prettytamer]

"Do you have a lot of insane people?"

[electricyousei]

"Its all relative. It seems like many people were pulled from their home world and while a hero of justice, or a 'end boss' may be completely normal there, here it tends to be viewed as insane. Though I guess there are a few who are actually mad too."

[prettytamer]

"Hey, what's wrong with a hero of justice?"

Guess what she fixated on instantly.

[electricyousei]

Ruri looks at her, still emotionless and you can almost FEEL her voice getting more deadpan.

"Justice by its definition is a very fluid goal. What is one person's justice is another person's tyranny. People that tend to champion something as fluid as that have a very set in view that the society may not agree to, or may do so with such enthusiasm that their actions cause more harm than good."

[prettytamer]

"-well it's true that you can mess up when you're trying to help, but! Justice isn't something that it's bad to work for at all! And not everyone can make justice happen, so it's important for there to be people who can. That's what I think and I'm one of those people!"

Midori throws up a V sign when she's done talking.

[electricyousei]

"Back home, there were people that were political exiles, they were forced to Mars, then when Mars was sited for colonization they were forced to the Jovian moons. They were done so by a corrupt government, but when they found an alien weapons factory they started preparing for a war against Earth in the name of Justice. Over 100 years later the government that did this to them buried their existence, BUT also collapsed in on itself and was replaced by one that did not know about this save for a few people with ties to the old one. That being said the Jovians returned to Earth and waged a bloody war with over a billion casualties all in the name of justice. Justice can be a very dangerous thing."

[prettytamer]

"That's awful... But don't you think that the first government needed to be punished? If it hadn't collapsed and all."

[electricyousei]

"I'm not a politician, and it was punished. Most of the members were sent to jail. Wouldn't it have been easier if the Jovians got a feel for the situation before attacking and screaming justice?"

[prettytamer]

Midori crosses her arms. "Of course it would have. But justice is still real."

[electricyousei]

"Justice is fluid, its generally a bad idea to devote oneself to a fluid foundation."

[prettytamer]

"Is not fluid."

[electricyousei]

Ruri just sighs.

"You are a heroine of justice, aren't you?"

[prettytamer]

Midori nods enthusiastically.

[electricyousei]

Ruri just nods

"I guess you will need to know about things here then as the situation is somewhat delicate."

[prettytamer]

"So you're going to tell me, right?" Midori asks.

[electricyousei]

She nods.

"I am. You are in the city of Honto-Ri. It has been cut off from the rest of the world, or the world outside merely vanished into the ether, I don't have the data to be certain and I'm not a member of the group going to find out as I'm working on consolidating a reliable information network here first. How this happened is information I don't have, and why people from various times and universes have been pulled here is somewhat beyond me too. The local government has been nice enough to supply us with apartments however."

She ponders for a minute before continuing, "There are at least two local factions, the government which has been helpful, but is beginning to censor data and another group that has used terrorist methods and is trying to incite the locals against people that have been pulled here. The people are generally good people, but they are currently not fond of the outsiders, especially if they don't try to conform to the local looks, so blending in is important as they really are just scared people and prone to do stupid things."

[prettytamer]

That sounded familiar. "Blend in? I'll remember that." Even if it meant not wearing her favorite outfits, she didn't want to be hunted as a witch again.

"What else should I know?"

[electricyousei]

"Most of the people are scared and ignorant. Not evil."

[prettytamer]

"Of course! Most people are really good at heart, everyone should know that." Duh.

[electricyousei]

"Yet they've tried to stone one of us, and another got beaten up by an angry mob."

[prettytamer]

"They were just scared..." It was like the lockdown all over again.

[electricyousei]

"Yes, but jumping in trying to break them up would have made it worse. At least it as the giant they tried to stone and he was too heavily armored to care."
