▼ 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.

"Did we now? I guess you weren't as memorable to me as I was to you." He shrugs theatrically. "It should be obvious at this point, but you aren't anymore. Welcome to Hinoto-Ri, the City of Mysteries. You showed up at a bad time. Most guests don't arrive during the 13th Hour."

"What?!" Shou's expression falls into irritation, and he turns on Tsukasa. "My partner and I help you out twice, and you up and forget us?!" Excuse him while he overreacts, as he does take this Riders-help-each-other-out thing pretty seriously...

"Yes." Tsukasa gives him a bland look before going back to his camera and taking a picture. The lighting may be bad, but an overreacting Shoutarou already seems like a photo worth keeping. "You overestimate your own importance. Riders aren't rare or unique. You and your partner are just two among many. I can't be expected to remember every Rider that I help or that helps me."

Tsukasa's photography skills (or lack thereof) should be adequate enough to capture one of Shou's ridiculous faces, or at least manage to make it even more entertaining.

Shou, meanwhile, has stowed away the non-functional omnicomm and has indignantly planted his hands on his hips. "Yeah, well, I never said we were, but you've got some nerve to ask us for help by name, and then up and forget about us, sheesh..."

He'll have to show it the Shou once he develops it. It will ruin any credibility the man might have towards being hard-boiled.

"I try to make sure I know what going on in the moment. After it passes, I don't consider them again because I'm more focused on what happening at that point." He closed the viewfinder and looked over at Shou again. "Tell me, do you even know my name? My real one, not just what I'm called as a Rider."

He can't lose what credibility he doesn't have, though.

There's a small lean back from the detective, followed by a raised eyebrow. "Not that the present isn't important, but past experiences and memories make us who we are!" The question that comes after, however, gives Shoutarou pause. He strokes his chin for a moment, then his shoulders droop. "...I can't say I know. You left before we could exchange names."
