▼ 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.

The Taurus monster had come and pass, as had Golden Week. The city was rebuilding itself, and with the aid of the Visitors, progress was going swiftly.

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 safey, the mayor had asked the city to stay inside during the next few nights 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 a little momento from home.

▼ 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

[ This is a dual log, both 13th hour, or newcomer posts.

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! You are, of course, not required to reply here. You can do your own independant log if you'd like!

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.

"Yes. At full compliment the Nadesico would have 4 of them assigned. Currently I'm a bit under staffed though so I generally try to avoid them."

She lets out a breath and continues.

"Now, we are talking about avoiding large flying robots right?"

He just now started putting things together. Still recovering from arrival shock.

"No, large things that are the size of giant robots. Roughly 10-50 meters depending."

She just shakes her head and continues.

"The Square-Cube Law says that's impossible."

He sort of wish it was. Following along at her pace.

"Yes I know, which is one of the more infuriating things about this place. It doesn't seem to know all of those laws."

She lets out a breath as the ship starts to lower into a clearing.

"I don't suppose yelling at them that they shouldn't exist will work, will it? Because I could do that."

Watching the thing decend.

"No, it doesn't. Its like those ancient American cartoons with the bird and the coyote almost. The one where they run off the cliff and the bird doesn't fall because it doesn't understand gravity. That's how I view magic here. Its a complete headache because even if you have proper science it doesn't want to listen half the time."

"Well, then, we'll have to force it to."

No matter how long that takes. Robo is patient and now that he is starting to have a clear head again, he's starting to form opinions about this place beyond the big stupid monsters.

"Until then, I don't think I am going to play their game. Good verse evil? Nothing is that simple."

Meaning the ones who put them here. Staring up at the Nadesco.

"Good is never as good as it thinks it is, and evil is rarely as bad as good thinks it is. I'm trying to break into the data network now to see if I can get better information on all this but they use a different language. As for their game, its rather dishonest."

The Nadesico lands and the distortion field flickers out, traces of almost black light flickering for a second before vanishing completely as the ramp opens.

"Until I can figure out what I am going to do about that, I am going to have to play along and keep people safe."

He watches, impressed with the large ship. Still wary of it's capabilities. Still, in a strange land without any of his normal resources, he can't be too picky. Letting her lead the way in, as it's her ship.

"That's one of the reasons I've fallen behind in figuring out the data grid here. Having something like the Nadesico and not using it to keep people safe would be.... Irresponsible. Still. The repair bay is in the hangar, which is right up the ramp."

She starts up the ramp into well, a space battleship mecha bay that CAN field up to 12 robots, but currently is empty.

"I like the way you think."

This thing is huge. He doesn't even want to consider the collateral damage it can cause. For now, he's just happy it's being used for good.

She nods a bit.

"I don't have much in the line of spare parts so I ask if you want to use the facilities here you restock any resources used till I can find a better avenue of equipment restocking. The elevator to the ship part of the ship is this way. Non crew are restricted to the crew quarters, cafeteria and offices. I don't have enough power to bring everything online and well some areas people shouldn't be in."

"That's reasonable. As for the less than safe areas, if you need someone to go through and do some repairs I-..."

This ship is still way beyond his grasp, but...

"I can look at it, try to figure it out and at least do the manual labor."

"....Do you know anything about fusion reactors or phase transposition engines?"

"One of those is definitely a thing I've dealt with before."

"The other I read about in a comic once."

He's smart. He'd have to teach himself how to do it from scratch, though. Also, her fusion reactor is probably far more advanced than anything he's familiar with.

"Maybe I'll stick to the manual labor."

"Armor replacement and repair is something that never changes and I'd appreciate any help I can get there."

"That's a little simplier until I get a better understanding of this ship."

Though he can't really bog himself down with only studying it. He has a job to do here, right?

"The city will also probably provide residence too, and really the ship is what keeps me sane given this place. But I do enjoy company every so often."

"Then I'll be sure to visit every so often to make sure you haven't lost your mind."

Speaking of minds.

"Does the AI here talk?"

"Omoikane isn't plugged into any speakers but you can speak at a terminal. He never could find a voice he liked."

"I think I'll try that out."

He'll walk with her to the terminal.

((OOC: Two very important questions. Are they touch screens and are they equiped to respond to robot fingers.))

((OOC: They're holographic touch screens and yes, Omoikane is bright enough to figure that out.))

"All right. Let me know if you need help with the interface though the design has remained constant since the first Nadesico A and it was crewed by idiots so its fairly simple."
