▼ 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.

That's good! Because... it looks really bad.

Have you been introduced to the city yet?

[badluckhealer]

[Most of her skin is covered with clothing...but that's right, people can extrapolate from a given detail. Like, say, the bandages extending from below her neckline. One could suppose there was more and worse beneath it.

It makes sense - but even if it had been that bad, the fact remains that Agatha's desensitized to pain by now.]

I'm aware that this city's called Hinoto-Ri, and that people are frequently spirited away here. Is this information accurate?

[For someone who's about the same age, she's pretty...yeah, line in the face and not emoting in the voice.]

[prettytamer]

[It would make sense!]

Uh-huh, that's right. The people brought here are called Visitors. We're supposed to save the city.

[badluckhealer]

... "Save?" Who decided this? Why does Hinoto-Ri need to be saved, and from what?

[There's a pause.]

Sorry for bombarding you with all of these questions, by the way.

[prettytamer]

Oh, it's no problem! Apparently the world outside Hinoto-Ri was destroyed, but there's a group called the Anoli that think that that's a government cover-up. The Anoli are dangerous though, so I don't think you should believe everything they say either... It's a mess.

[badluckhealer]

So neutrality is the best policy in this case?

[Just as in every other. Mother and Uncle were correct on this front.]

[prettytamer]

That's what I think. But, you should probably make your own decision when you have more facts. And are settled in - right now you should probably just focus on finding a place to stay!

[Politics are hard.]

[badluckhealer]

That's probably a good idea.

[Right, a place to stay...Shoot. Hopefully there's a shelter somewhere.]

[prettytamer]

You get a free room at the hotel if you're new.

[badluckhealer]

I see. Thank you for telling me this.

[A pause as she considers.]

How long are we allowed to remain in these rooms?

[prettytamer]

Forever, I guess? But you might want to move out to a bigger place eventually, if you're stuck here that long.

[badluckhealer]

I see. No, that wasn't the issue - I wanted to make sure I wouldn't be kicked out before being able to locate another place to stay. Where I'm from, institutions like this do tend to work on a time limit, so it was - concerning.

[prettytamer]

That makes sense. But you don't have to worry! The government here is pretty understanding.

[badluckhealer]

...That's good of them.

[Really good, actually. Sounds a bit too good to be true.]

Thank you, again.

[prettytamer]

No problem! Do you want me to walk you to city hall? That's where you'll get information about where your apartment is and other stuff.

[badluckhealer]

[...This stranger is...very kind, and for no reason, too. It doesn't compute, and for some reason it's inducing a warm feeling. Agatha does not like this.

She does not like it at all.]

Is...I wouldn't want to be a bother.

[prettytamer]

It wouldn't be a bother at all! I'd love to help.

[This is Midori's favorite thing, what is the matter ????]

[badluckhealer]

[Yeah, this. This is not a thing back home. ... This is not a thing for Sheridans. ... This is not a thing at all what is this thing she does not like it.]

...Nn...D-do what you want.

[No Agatha no you are supposed to chase people off not...no, this is not how it works! Don't involve outsiders, NEVER involve outsiders! ...Nnngh...Still, no one's an island...It isn't possible for someone to survive alone, that's just not how humans work.

She'll deal with it for now, as a temporary alliance, but that's it.]

[prettytamer]

Okay! Then, just follow me, I know the quickest way there.

[Oblivious to Agatha's inner conflict, Midori starts leading her directly to city hall.]

[badluckhealer]

[Okay, THIS is something she can do. Yes. Walking to the place with the thing, and potentially figuring out some of the streets along the way. Complete silence. Yes, this is a thing that can be done.]

[prettytamer]

So, is there anything else you want to know about the city?

[Silence isn't gonna happen.]

[badluckhealer]

[Gh- Stop that! ;A; ....But Sheridans do not complain. Deep breath. Calm down. Look at the concrete, the cracks in the street. Unchanging and empty. The domain of those hated by the earth.

...Right, better.]

...I can't think of anything. What do you suppose a newcomer should know?

[prettytamer]

I don't know, since I don't know what your world is like, I don't know how it's different.

[badluckhealer]

Er-

[...Damn, she's right. There's a sigh and a grumble. This is getting aggravating.

Why are you acting so friendly when we cannot be friends? It's pointless and useless.

I'd better do something about that. It's gone on far enough.]

...why are you doing this?

[prettytamer]

Because I want to help. [Blink blink.] It'd be nice if we could be friends, but even if we don't see each other again I still want to do nice things for you.

[Silly Agatha.]
