▼ 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.

Midori nods enthusiastically.

Ruri just nods

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

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

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."

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?"

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

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

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

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

"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."

"I'm sure there was something somebody could do."

"Let him soldier on seemed to work. He didn't attack and they got bored with it after a while."

"W-well... I'm glad nobody got hurt, but are they going to do that to somebody else?"

"I don't know. There are a group of people trying to win favor with the locals in the name of all of us who were pulled here, but its a delicate thing. Which is why I'm not involved as I tend to be blunt."

"I can tell." Also a little blunt: Midori. "Thank you for helping me."

"You are quite welcome. If you need any data feel free to ask."

"I will! But I think I'm good for now."

"Understood. Good luck then."

"Same to you!"
