▼ 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...

[ 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.

Robin | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Capircorn District (Central Park) | Evening | OPEN

[formulator]

[ The final battle. The encounter that will decide the fate of the world. A sacrifice to be made. And then... sleep? A dream about a man with a butterfly mask. And then, somewhere else.

It's only natural, really. Every time she winds up somewhere new, she wakes up in a field.



So that's where she is. Asleep in a field.

Or, in this case, a park that is much like a field.


She's arrived, but she hasn't woken up yet. So what now? Will you try to wake up the weird girl in the park? Get her to safety before the 13th hour hits? Ask her why she's wearing a ridiculous robe? Go for it. ]

[yay_danger]

[aaaand here's Tharja. As if inter-dimensional kidnappings (or invitations to some game of pawns) can keep your stalker away.

She hurries towards the prone woman faster than Frederick could ever get her to move, but the sense of urgency dissipates as soon as it's evident that Robin's not actually hurt.

What to do? Wake her up? Probably, yeah.]

[yay_danger]

[...

...

...





...hee. She looks so helpless like this.]

[yay_danger]

[...anyway.

She crouches, reaching a hand out to shake Robin's shoulder.]

Robin. Wake up.

[formulator]

[ Yeah, that will rouse her from her slumber. Easy enough. Yay! ]

Tharja...?

[ Robin blinks, slowly taking in her... surroundings... ]

Where are we? [ She sits up, holding a hand to her head. Something about.... order, chaos... ] I was dreaming...

[yay_danger]

Dreaming of what? [butterflies and...Persona?

Standing up.] I have not seen the others.

[formulator]

[ Robin makes a move to stand as well. She's still a bit disoriented - waking up does that to a person - but she's working through it. This is important. She can't waste time being confused or dazed. ]

Our first order of business is to find out where we are. We need to find a landmark, or, preferably, some sign of civilization. Or find a native, somebody who can tell us what's going on.

[ Persona... A conflict between order and chaos.

Was that dream a clue to what was going on? ]

[yay_danger]

[she points to the left] I saw a path, but nobody else.

[good job, choosing the most deserted part of the city.]

[formulator]

[ Hrrngh.. ] Well, if there's a path, we'll find something by following it. [ Just... hopefully it's a path made by people, not wild animals.

Or bandits.

Or enemies.

Well, better than nothing. ]

Lead the way, Tharja.

[yay_danger]

[blink.

Well, then. She nods and starts walking towards the path.]

Did the battle end? [she keeps glancing back once in a while because. Well. She's usually the one doing all the following.]

[formulator]

[ If Robin notices Tharja's glances, she doesn't comment. She's trying to remain focused on the task at hand, even when her mind is trying to sort things out. Sorting things out can come later, after they get more information. ]

Keep your eyes open. There's only two of us, it'd be an ideal time to spring an ambush.

[ She pauses for a moment, then actually answers Tharja's question. ] No. It didn't.

[twitchyswordhand]

[BY THE GODS HE'D RECOGNIZE THAT RIDIC MAJESTIC ROBE, RAIMENT OF THE GODS IT IS RO- oh wait, no, it appears to be a woman, not Robin.

...

:< What is this. What is this! (Yes, this demands an emote. :< That's how disappointed Owain is. The great tactician, the man of twists and turns isn't here. He thought...he thought...!) Man. Just. Why isn't anyone he knows around?

What to do? Well, he doesn't know her, so it's hard to say. On one hand, asking her where she found the robe, if she knows where Ylisse is...good ideas. On the other hand, not being a creeper. On the first hand, they're in the middle of nowhere and she probably doesn't want to sleep here. On the other hand, not being weird...er, weirder than normal.

But then the decision was made for him when a random wayward pack of cats spontaneously started fighting not that far off, causing enough noise to wake up any sleeper aside from the most determined.]

[formulator]

[ Cats, really?

Well, whatever. IT'S ENOUGH TO ROUSE THE TACTICIAN FROM HER SLUMBER. Thoughts of butterflies, order vs chaos, and persona leave her mind as she realizes that she's in some strange field (again.)

Except this time, it was Owain that was there, not Chrom and Lissa.

She tries to quickly clear her mind from the fogginess of sleep. Information. She needed information. ]

Owain, thank goodness. Do you know where we are? [ She unsteadily gets up onto her feet. ]

[twitchyswordhand]

[Yeah. 9 would've been a wayward disgruntled deer, 7 would've been a sneeze, 5 would've been a bird...uh, you can figure out. And there's no time to pussyfoot around with numbers! There's more important things to worry about! LIke why she knows his name!

You know, random people being all, "Sup, Owain," has a way of just...you know.]

...have we met? [Said slowly.]

[formulator]

[ . . . Yeah.

Robin just kind of. Stares at him. ]

If this is some sort of joke, this really isn't the time for it.

You don't... You don't have amnesia, do you?

[twitchyswordhand]

No. How do you know my name? [...] Wait. We must be destined partners! My fated ally! I didn't think it was r- [-eal] I didn't think I'd ever meet you!



[For the record this feels a little creepier than he thought it would feel.]

[formulator]

. . . . .

It's me, Robin. I'm your aunt, remember?

[twitchyswordhand]

I don't know who you are but Robin's a man. [...] And not my aunt. [...] Or my uncle.

[electricyousei]

A pale girl with a deadpan expression and long blue hair walks over to the girl, shaking her head a bit and poking her.

"Miss? This isn't a safe place to be."

[formulator]

[ It took a moment, but the shaking does rouse Robin from her slumber. Thoughts of persona and butterflies got to the back of her mind as she tries to take in the new sights.

Or somewhat familiar sights. Always a field... ]

Where...? [ She notes the deadpan girl, but she doesn't look like a threat... okay, rephrasing - she doesn't look like she's hostile. Robin knows better than to judge a book by its cover.

Somebody to ask some questions, then. ]

Where is this?

[electricyousei]

The girl nods and continues in a deadpan tone.

"This is the park of Honto-Ri. This is also a bad time as the demons will be out soon. Do you need help getting somewhere safe?"

[formulator]

Demons? [ Risen? ]

Wait. Honto-Ri, where is that? I've never heard of it.

[electricyousei]

"The natives call them demons. I'm still trying to gather more data to get a better name."

She tilts her head a bit and nods.

"Honto-Ri is a city on the island of Japan just off the coast of Asia."

[formulator]

I've never heard of an island named Japan, or a place named Asia. Is that the name of a city...? [ Certainly not a country or city-state, she would certainly have heard of that.

She's trying to process all of this information. And she is - she's not a tactician for nothing. But this is a lot to take in all at once regardless. ]

[electricyousei]

"Then I will assume that you are not a native of the planet Earth. Yes this is a city, but it seems cut off from the world at large due to a barrier field."
