Omnia Mutantur Nos Et Mutamur In Illis (Newcomer + 13th Hour Log)

▼ All things change, and we change with them (13th hour & arrival log)
 
Who: Anyone
Where: The entire city
When: May 8th - May 14th
Summary: This is both a Newcomer log AND a General 13th hour log
Warnings: That depends who is there. Remember to mark your titles clearly if any warnings need to be issued!

▼ 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.

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

[good job, choosing the most deserted part of the city.]
formulator: (i've got the moves like jagger)

[personal profile] formulator 2013-05-14 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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: (I can't look away from this stupidity)

[personal profile] yay_danger 2013-05-14 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[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: art from pixiv (and aim for the heart)

[personal profile] formulator 2013-05-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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.

yay_danger: (I'll save your bones)

[personal profile] yay_danger 2013-05-14 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[can't argue with that, dang it. The shrubbery is definitely not as interesting - or as weird - as Robin following her around.]

Ah. ["Good thing there's no need for me to stab some self-sacrificial idiot myself."

And here's the dirt path. One end seems to be heading to the forest and the other to the plain. What to do now?]
formulator: (maybe it's hard)

[personal profile] formulator 2013-05-14 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Come on. [ Robin begins to head down the path to the forest. It provides better cover against aerial enemies, tougher terrain for mounted enemies, and gives them a way to hide from or a better chance to outrun an enemy. ] Hopefully it won't take us long to reach some sign of civilization.
yay_danger: STOP GETTING IN THE WAY OF MY VIEW OF ROBIN (Why are you bothering me?)

[personal profile] yay_danger 2013-05-14 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
[eyes flick towards the plains for half a second but she happily follows Robin.]

Considering how we have no supplies, that would be best.

[though okay fine. They could probably find a bear for Robin to eat or something.]
formulator: icon by panne (you wanted control)

[personal profile] formulator 2013-05-14 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, that too. Although I'm sure we could survive off the land if we really needed to, we couldn't get much information that way.

[ She sets a fairly standard pace through the forest - slow enough to be able to listen for and watch for any clues or signs of life - or ambush. ]
yay_danger: can I go back to stalking now (Another idiot to deal with)

[personal profile] yay_danger 2013-05-14 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[welp. If all else fails, there's probably a "find a willing (?) victim" hex that'll lead them to civilization - or a victim a source of information, at the very least.

...

...Alright, the next animal they see is going to get some dark magic in the face. It'll nobly sacrifice its entrails for the sake of divination and all that jazz.

What would they ask anyway? Please point us in the direction of the giant dragon trying to destroy the world? Technically, the answer would be right in front of her, but. Still. If somebody or something can transport them all the way to the middle of nowhere whilst in the middle of battle, this is going to be one long final boss fight. Better find some counter to that. Hmmm....




Yeah, no. Her mind is wandering. She's only really following along out of sheer habit/instinct.]
