▼ 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.

Heheh, isn't it? I wish I could take more people to visit there now, but I guess...

[Welp. Looks like he made himself a bit homesick.

He jumped a bit when the keyblade disappeared, but aside from that, his grin wasn't exactly going to last long given how the conversation shifted.]

Nyarlathotep? [He's pretty sure he's heard of that demon?] W...What happened? [Though he's kind of scared to ask.]

We tried to confront and fight him, I guess we kind of did, but things went crazy and the overseers of that world booted us all out, Him included. It was... hectic.

Everyone in that world were people taken as 'refugees' from their original worlds; the Administrators in charge thought they were saving them from destruction. But they were also horrible people who saw it as a chance to experiment guilt-free, and inflicted gruesome things on them against their wills. I got a small taste of the types of things they were put through... it wasn't fun.

They were all so sad and broken, none of us wanted to leave them behind... but we never got the chance to try. We couldn't even say goodbye before we got kicked out. It was hard, really really hard.

[She didn't really want to talk about it, but on one hand she felt like it was her duty to explain the things that happened, and on the other hand Daichi was just the type of guy you felt like you could tell anything to, at least in her mind. Sorry for the sad feels, bro.]

[He listened carefully, and as he did, his expression slowly started to fall. Being powerless to help someone? That was something he could sympathize with, and it drove him nuts.]

I... I'm sorry. [This, probably was not the kind of topic she really wanted to talk about either, huh.] I wish I could say they'll probably be alright, but... who really knows.

[Way to be a pessimist, dude.] But I guess, at least, you guys showing up there must have helped something, right? Even if they're still in trouble, it means there's someone else out there-- and some way to get out, right?

[Though, people who's original worlds were destroyed? He's more than a little nervous thinking about how that could've easily been him or his friends with the way the Septentrione invasion had been going.]

We saved it from being destroyed by Nyarlathotep, we know that at least. But... several of my friends were there. There's no way our worlds could've been destroyed, it just isn't possible...

[She sighs, pushing some of her hair out of her face. Kairi attempts to pull a smile back on her face, trying to lighten things up.]

Hopefully Philemon will do us a favor and bring them here like they brought us here. After all, we did him a favor didn't we? It's the least he could do, for us and especially for them.

[Should he say something? He knew full well that it was entirely possible that worlds could be destroyed. But...

Daichi looked like he was debating saying something aloud, but in the end, he said nothing, hoping she wouldn't notice him missing a beat.]

Y-- Yeah. I'm sure he will, if he gets the chance. Some of you had friends there, right? Maybe there's some way to contact him and ask him a favour or something.

[Don't worry about it Daichi, she won't comment on it. She figured he was just debating whether or not to be nice or honest about her wishful thinking and whatnot.]

Yeah, some of them duplicates of people that're here too. It's all pretty weird... Did anything interesting happen here while we were all gone?

Duplicates? [What... well he knew about the other universes stuff-- and well he had met more than one Alcor so...guess it wasn't that unusual?]

Uh, not really. Not as far as I know, at least. Everyone was more worried about the people that'd gone missing-- and I think there was something about some weird robot running around town, but I just kind of kept to myself most of the month.
