▼ 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.

"Ah, it's not a problem. ...I hope I didn't butt in or anything."

He had known some people in this city who were more upset to be helped than anything. Atsuro backs away from the Ogun and watches as it dissolves into what he assumes to be magnetite.

"You probably would have done fine on your own. ...Have you been here long?"

[darkens]

Once upon a time, Hoshi really, sincerely believed that she was better off by herself, and stronger alone. Teamwork simply wasn't for her, or so she had been lead to believe. Things have changed for her, of course, but there's still a small part of her that would much rather go without help from anyone.

The battle over and done with, she solemnly watches her Persona fade away. Well, the two of them, she and this boy, had worked well together — she isn't so proud as to deny that.

"Don't worry about it." She shakes her head and shrugs. "Ah — it's only been a month or so. Still adjusting to the whole... Persona thing."

[otakuro]

"Yeah. It's hard to put your mind around, isn't it?"

Chouchin-obake drifts over in Hoshi's general dire --

"No licking."

Chouchin-obake sullenly drifts back towards Atsuro and collapses back into its normal state in an exaggerated fashion. Atsuro reaches down and picks up the now-quiescent paper lantern.

"I'd like to think my soul is a little more hygienic, honestly."

[darkens]

"It is. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it back home."

No manifestations of the soul to be found, just, you know, your standard magical girl fare. The demons are a nice change of pace from the disgusting aliens she's used to, at least.

Hoshi takes a couple unnerved steps back away from Chouchin-obake and its massive tongue, frowning. Ew.

"Er. Yes, I would certainly hope so."

[otakuro]

"Ah, don't worry. ...He's a ghost so it wouldn't be real spit, anyway."

Not that ghost spit sounded much more appealing. Chouchin-obake takes the opportunity to whirl around in Atsuro's hand to cackle at Hoshi before Atsuro gives it a firm shake.

"...Are you from Japan, by the way? Your clothes are... They're what we use in a type of martial arts we have."

[darkens]

"I'm from Japan, yes. Sugikishi, if you've heard of it," Hoshi explains with a nod of her head. Nano hadn't seemed to recognize the name of her fictional generic anime city, so she doesn't really expect anyone else to, either. "The clothes are — I practiced martial arts at home, so..."

She shrugs impassively. "I wanted practice a bit with Hotaru tonight, instead."

[otakuro]

"Sugikishi..." Atsuro has to mull this over for a few moments. "...Cedar Beach [杉岸]? Cedar Wood City [杉木市]?" A short pause. "I can't say I've heard of it, actually. Do you know what province of Japan it's in?"

It was perfectly possible, of course, that she came from a place like Iwatodai that didn't exist in his world.

"...I'm from Tokyo. My name's Atsuro - Atsuro Kihara."

[darkens]

"It's in Tokyo, actually," Hoshi replies, not that it helps any. The concept of different realities and universes, with varying versions of Japan and the rest of the world, is something she's still trying to wrap her head around.

She wonders if Atsuro's world is a happier, more peaceful one. Considering his familiarity with the Ogun from earlier... probably not. A shame, that.

"Kihara-san. It's nice to meet you." She pauses thoughtfully. This may not be home, but her identity as a Magical Hunter is a secret one — it might be best for her to keep it that way. So she gives him the first name that comes to mind: "I'm Hinawa."

[otakuro]

"It's nice to meet you, Hinawa. I'll just... assume your Tokyo is totally different from my Tokyo, then." Atsuro gives a small shrug. "For all we know, this could still be Tokyo. ...It's definitely in Japan, anyway."

[darkens]

"I'm still having trouble with the idea that there are multiple versions of Tokyo, to be honest." Hoshi wrinkles her nose, though it's more out of regret in her choice of alias than the confusing concept of alternate realities. "You are correct, though; there is no doubt that we are still in Japan... if a very bizarre version of it."

[otakuro]

"It's post-apocalyptic, actually."

Atsuro felt a vague burden to explain the details to people who asked, given that he and Saber had found most of the information in the first place.

"The details are foggy, but something wiped out the rest of the world nine years ago -- or at least, the city believes that to be true."
