▼ 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...

[(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.

"I do see," she says. Well, maybe not the dying part. She should buy this...gentleman some drinks later and get his life story. Right now, she was more concerned with...

"You lived outside the city, then? What's it like, if I may ask?"

"It's... different." He scratches his head. "I think it's something you really need to see for yourself to decide one way or another on. It's not the same, I'll tell you that much."

"I do wonder why they keep the humans penned up like this. I suppose they have as good a reason as any, though!" the eyeball adds.

"Hm. A couple factions of humans are having a big debate over whether we can even live out there, you know," she mentions.

He chortles. "Is that so? Humans are always warring with each other over things like that. Then they act like they're better than everybody else. It's annoying sometimes." He twiddles his fingers. "I wonder if they even think about the real demons in their rush to try to be their own?"

Medama Oyaji shakes his head. "Been like that as long as anybody can remember, and that was before everything went South. Makes you sorta wonder if this was inevitable."

"Wars tend to crop up every couple of decades where I'm from, and sapient beings have spread out a lot farther than one city or even one planet," she admits. "Right now I'm just trying to get more information about the one going on here so I can meddle like a proper Jedi."

"A Jedi, eh? Not familiar with the term. Good luck with the meddling though. These humans could use a little meddling." He sighs. "It's sad to hear that this is a universal constant though."

"As long as people have different opinions they'll fight over them! Simple as that." The eyeball man nods sagely.

"Sadly, that seems to be it."

Looking around, she notices it's still the middle of the 13th Hour.

"It was nice meeting both of you," she said, bowing, "but I'm going to go be a lot more careful and diplomatic at some of the other demons wandering around. There's probably someone else getting in over his head out there."

Kitaro nods, smiling. If he was standoffish before, it seems to have melted away into a surprisingly polite young boy. "All right. It was nice talking to you as well. Ah... I never introduced myself. How impolite."

"Oh my, this is the first time he's really worried about that in a while! Miss, you must be some sort of miracle worker!" chortles 'Father,' bracing himself.

The boy bows, with his father holding his place well. "I am Gegege no Kitaro. This is my father, Medama Oyaji. It is a true pleasure to meet a human like you. I hope we meet again."
