▼ 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.

"Because I--" '--look like you?' is how he nearly finishes that, but he stops himself. No, this... other him is just trying to be nice... right? There's no reason to snap. He... doesn't know, so he's not doing it on purpose... right?

"... sorry. I'll... keep it. Thanks."

He blinks a little in surprise. Okay, something's seriously going on here, but he knows he wouldn't want someone else to pry if it were him. "It's fine, like I said. Shiki uses mine sometimes, too."

It's not the looking alike thing, okay?

Neku honestly isn't sure he's ready to divulge... It would explain things a lot better and make things less awkward, maybe, but... then again, it could just make things more awkward...

"... so, you... have a job?" Yeah. Casual conversation. It can be a thing.

Honestly at this point it'd be hard to get more awkward.

"Yeah. It's something to do. I work cashier at one of the clothes stores. I work the floor sometimes too when we're short-staffed. Some of the customers are pretty stupid, though."

Let's not mention the occasional demons that come in looking for weird sizes okay.

... Neku's not so sure of that. 'By the way, I'm a copy of you' could get kind of questionable there.

"Sounds about right for anywhere, I guess..." Not that he really has personal experience with that, but. "... didn't really have shops where I came from last."

Because he came from Shibuya, too... At some point.

"Sounds pretty crappy..." He wants to ask, he really wants to ask, but he also really doesn't want to pry. So the best he can do right now is commiserate. Or try to at least.

"... tell me about it." Neku isn't really ready to divulge everything just yet, but... maybe with time. Who knows. Right now, though, just being around another him is intimidating enough. "Please tell me this place has restaurants..."

"Plenty of them. There's a cafe that we'll come to in a minute or two, or we can find somewhere that serves other stuff. Whichever you want." He can probably cover enough for a decent meal, as long as the other him doesn't turn into a human garbage disposal or something.

"... oh, uh... I'm not... hungry..." He rubs the back of his head, looking down at the ground beneath his feet. The Facility had only had those awful food bars and, after the attack two weeks into his stay there, whatever the machines decided to make. Which... wasn't anything particularly appetizing. "... just wondering."

"... No problem."

He doesn't want to pry, but one day he's going to ask. Not today. "You can get most kinds of food you could get in Shibuya."

Someday, maybe he'll explain everything. ... maybe. "... really?" It gets his interest, at least, and his head lifts again, eyes widening just a fraction. ... okay, maybe he is a little hungry.

"Pretty much. As long as it's something they can get here, since the city's kind of isolated, they can make that kind of food, I think."

'Sokay not!him.
