▼ 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.

It was always disconcerting to wake up and find yourself in a place you didn't recognize. It was even more so to wake up and not have a clue what anything around you was. The very nature of the Hinoto-Ri was foreign to Snow White, and even though she had gotten through the initial throat clenching panic stage, she was still walking wearily around and trying to remain mostly out of sight.

If this was magic, it was no brand that she had ever witnessed before. Her hand was firmly on her dagger's handle, though she did not draw it. It wouldn't do her any good to look threatening from the very start.

At some point she would want to talk to someone, to get some information that might actually stick in her mind. Something was there, but most of the words felt like sand slipping through her fingers. But she had to be careful... especially if this was one of the Queen's tricks. Still, obvious confusion was clear on her face.

Link was on his way to his second job when he saw her--or, specifically, her sword. Her obvious state of confusion didn't make him feel too good about that weapon of hers.

He approaches with a small grin on his face, one that doesn't match the caution in his eyes. "Is everything okay?"

And here she was trying not to look too threatening. At his approach, she stops walking, and Snow White isn't quite sure how to respond at first. He's not dressed like one of the Queen's men, and they usually don't do the whole disguise thing.

"I'm still trying to figure that out." It's true, she's not sure if everything is okay. "I'm either very lost, or I am dreaming."

"You must be new," he says, letting out a relieved sigh. He extends his hand. "I'm Link. Welcome to Hinoto-ri."

There's a very short moment of hesitation, but Snow eventually extends her hand and shakes Link's. She smiles a little, grateful for at least one bit of information. "Thank you for the welcome. Hinoto-Ri... I have never heard of this land before."

The boy seems nice enough, but it was still better to be safe than sorry. She refrains from giving her name just yet. "It is very nice to meet you, Link."

"That's because you've never been here before. There's a lot of people here like you who've come here from other places. I'm one of them."

"Can you tell me where you came from? Is it someplace beyond the Enchanted Forest?"

"The what? I'm...from Skyloft. You've probably never heard of that, either."

"The Enchanted Forest, it is the land I am from." Snow then shook her head, "No, I can't say I have heard of Skyloft at all.

What is it like?" The question was added almost as an afterthought, her curiosity getting the better of her.

He looks up.

"It's in the sky. It's...nice."

Link has never been an expert at description.

It had taken David quite awhile to stumble out of the part of the city he had first found himself in, and it hadn't been without help...from the few people who would listen, at least. Still, he had never felt so completely out of place in his entire life. For a shepherd boy who had spent the last couple of weeks pretending to be a prince, that was saying something.

After hours of being surrounded by completely foreign places, things, and even concepts, it was to the point where the last thing he was expecting was a familiar sight. Yet soon enough, he does spot something familiar...or, rather, someone.

At first, he can't quite believe his eyes. But the closer he gets, the more sure he is - it's her.

"Snow White!" David doesn't put any more thought into it - he just runs in her direction, even happier to see her again than he thought he would be.

In very much the same boat as David, Snow had also been wandering, guided by the help of random people as she explored the city. At the moment she's stopped, staring at a shop that has caught her eye with the lighting and clothing within. It was so very different from what she was used to that she was almost gaping at the short skirts. Could those even be considered skirts?

At the sound of her name, her head whipped around. That was a voice she knew, though not one she was expecting in the least. And the person behind the voice was currently running towards her, which dissolved any notion that she was simply imagining things.

"Charming?" There was a hint of relief in her voice when she called to him, though she had no idea why.

He stopped when he reached her, and found himself smiling at the new nickname. David still wasn't sure why it (and her) was cheering him up so much, even under these circumstances, but he wasn't going to question that now.

"I hadn't thought we would meet up again so soon," he said, glancing around the still-unbelievable world around him before turning his attention back to Snow. "But considering the circumstances, I'm glad we did."

She looked just about as lost as he did - they probably arrived at the same time, or at least very close to it.

"I take it you only just found your way here, too?" Or, at least, 'found their way' was one way of phrasing it.

Snow put her hands on her hips, trying to look a little more confident than she was actually feeling. "I'm actually a little glad to see a familiar face, myself." She had gotten so used to her solitude, it was odd to be happy to see someone.

She nodded to his question, gesturing around with one hand. "Yes. And I am still trying to figure out exactly how I came to be here." The last she remembered, she had left Charming behind and was venturing back into the woods.
