▼ 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.

"Huh? Orpheus?"

Minako and the Persona both turn, confused by Chie's reaction. But then she realizes the problem. She's used to most people knowing what Evokers are by now, with the last tournament publicizing them, but Chie obviously hadn't been around for that. "Oh - this isn't a gun, it's an Evoker! It lets me summon my Persona more easily. Don't worry!"

Chie was pretty damn worried for a second. She saw a gun pointed at the girl's head and freaked out. Of course she knew nothing about the Evokers, but she took Minako's word for it. Not that she ever really had trouble summoning her Persona, so it seemed to make little sense. However, the moment to speak on that was not right then, as two crabs were left standing.

"Suzuka Gongen!" Chie just spun and pointed her outstretched arm at the two monsters. Her Persona cast Mabufula, knocking over the two last crabs. It was the perfect chance to go all out!

Minako seems to agree. "Let's go!" she commands, for a minute forgetting that Chie isn't actually one of her friends who knows exactly what that means. Regardless, she charges in at the fallen enemies, swinging her naginata for the kill.

It's not the same as with her group, but Chie understands it pretty quickly. Going all out and dealing some massive damage, it's one of her favorite things. Chie's quickly on Minako's tail, jumping up and driving her foot into the crabs, before spinning and kicking furiously. After a moment or two of all out attacking the monsters were toast, and the girl's stood victorious!

"Hah, I'm still a Furious Dragon of the East!" she may just be quoting her favorite movie, celebrating their win.

The mudscrabs were honestly not that big of a deal, but it still felt satisfying fighting them off. Training is the point anyway, not actually getting in danger.

Minako grins and pumps her fist in victory. "We make a pretty good team so far! I'm really impressed that you fight with martial arts." She can't imagine just going up and kicking a Shadow herself. ...Well, maybe if she was wearing spiked heels like Mitsuru-senpai's....

Getting stronger was Chie's main goal in her life. She wanted to be strong enough so she didn't need to rely on others, so she could protect the people and town she cares so much about. And so, even a pretty simple fight got her excited.

"R-Really? It's not that big of a deal, I'm just not good with any weapons like you guys. All I can do is kick them until the go down."

"Well, I still think you're really brave to run up to a monster and kick it!"

Sorry Chie, she's still going to praise you. It's a bit of a habit, to pick out the strong points of her team and encourage them. "Akihiko-senpai's a boxer, so I've seen him punch Shadows, but I'd feel lost without my naginata."

She's already experienced that in a few incidents since coming to Hinoto-ri.

"I guess I just get so pumped up, I'm not afraid to get up close and personal. Your senpai sounds really cool.." Chie's punches weren't very strong, partially because she focused on Kung Fu and leg workouts, but she guessed it was because she was female too.

"You seem like a really good leader, like Yu-kun!" Chie didn't even know that Minako was their team leader, she just thought that she reminded her a lot of her Leader.

Really, Chie reminds her a lot of Akihiko. She's just a girl and more into martial arts than boxing. "I think you two would really get along. I'll have to introduce you, if you don't run into him first." Despite being a big city, it could really be a small place for the Visitors.

The second part makes her try to look modest. "Thanks... I really just do what I can, though."
