Free-For-All 13th Hour Sale [Open]

[silvercoins]

Who: You, and also you!
Where: Around the city! Specify where in the reply, along with what night.
Summary: The Visitors have a job to make the city safer and strengthen their Personas to get cool powers.
Warnings: Violence against demons an inevitability; please mention any other warnings as they come up.

In the excitement of summer, it might have slipped some Visitor's minds to go out and patrol the city during the 13th Hour. On the other hand, some were infused with even more energy on those summer nights. It really all depended on the person and perhaps whether their previous encounters were Frosts and Prinnies or something nastier.

Speaking of which... what was out there to be fought tonight?

[This is an open 13th Hour log! Replies should include date and location in the subject line. Have fun and remember to tag your characters!]

June 14th | Anywhere That Isn't Taurus

[silvercoins]

[Screw, Taurus, that's why.

Judas doesn't like his Soul Persona. It reminds him too much of himself. That's why he took the first opportunity to take out a Velvet Room Persona.

...And that's why he just finished off a weak Garm with Cap'n Crunch as his Persona.

Thankfully no one's around to embarrass him, right?]

[papillonmagique]

[Yeah, about that.] What's with the cereal mascot?

[doesasordered]

[Nope sorry some dude just saw you whip out a cereal mascot as a Persona.

And he is just staring at you.

He's not quite sure if he wants to laugh or just be weirded out right now.]

Ah...

Friday the 14th | Anywheeere

[papillonmagique]

[Of course Zoe would be out and fighting, it's a good way to train and keeps her skills from getting rusty. Battle mages gotta battle and stuff.

She does have her Persona out, which is basically a little sparkly butterfly, but she's way more focused on using her lance and magic to fight any monsters she comes across.]

[unbroken_chain]

Much like battle mages gotta battle, pokemon trainers gotta train, which is why Kotoha is out and about tonight, working with Scorpina to patrol the streets.

After a few close calls involved in finding out that elemental weaknesses in this place make no sense at all, Kotoha has decided to forgo using her headgod to set things on fire in favor of a stream of Tarukajas on her giant six-foot flying scorpion.

And that's when the two of them notice you, so have a wave hello!

[terminally_clever]

[Fumi's out in the streets of the Leo District tonight, and this time she's got her Velvet Room Persona out for a bit of practice. Catching sight of Zoe from across the street, she slowly walks over to join her in her own hunt.]

Good evening. How goes the hunt?

[genkibot]

[Tachikoma has been going out during the 13th hour on numerous occasions. Unfortunately with a support Persona, she's only been able to really gather data about the demons than actually fight them.

That doesn't stop her from approaching other visitors though, especially ones doing flashy battle things with a lance and a sparkly butterfly nearby.]

Hello there! Are you fighting demons with that lance?

June 14th | P Much Anywhere

[prettytamer]

[Fighting a Legion alone? No sweat!

...Alright, so even with her Lakshmi and Rangda helping her, Legions were pretty hardy, and even with Elec Dance's type advantage she was a little leery of being petrified.

Make that a lot leery, as Legion breathes its Stagnant Air. Help would be appreciated.]

[tyrantball]

DYNAMIC ENTRY!

Which basically means Desco just blasted the Legion with a Bufudyne from her Velvet Room Persona, Lakshmi.

That done, she pauses to look between her current Persona and Midori's allies, a pout starting to form on her face.

"No fair! How come you have minions but Desco doesn't?"

How about Sagittarius?

[virtualbirdwatching]

[Atoli feels somewhat like she hasn't given enough attention to Yune.

So the little bird with the girl in her head floats nearby her. Noticing Midori's battle, but not her distress, Atoli runs over to the camgirl and gives her Persona an attack order: While the girl points, the bird flies out and gives the demon a couple of sharp pecks that might send it into Rage.

(It's Hysterical Slap.)]

[all_wound_up]

[Conveniently, Nano happens to be passing by in her own 13th Hour travels.]

Midori-san! Do you need help?

[aurathread]

[And help does come, in the form of a blobby thing. It casts Marakunda on the Legion, and Tsukasa looks over at Midori to see if she's injured.]

[genkibot]

Quick, Zero! Use Muzzle Shot!

[A spray of bullets suddenly hits the demon, momentarily distracting it. It's a low-level attack, but it has a 10% chance to silence it, so maybe that'll stop it from breathing on Midori? Meanwhile, from the direction the bullets came stands Tachikoma with her soul persona hovering above and behind her.]

Did that work?

Anytime | Anywhere | Anyone

[tyrantball]

Desco is pretty much never not outside during the 13th Hour - it's the only time of day when her full power is available to her, which is a fairly important part of her life. She does tend to vary what districts she wanders through each night, so as to make sure the previous ones have time to restock between her rampages.

The 13th Hour is when Desco is at her most magnanimous, memories of home and the countless thousands of battles she had participated in causing her to mellow out to a degree.

Why not team up with the Final Boss and rain down some havoc?

[andcarryabigknife]

Gale is taking a great risk tonight. He's taking on two Catoblepas, hoping for a little diversity in his diet and to not get petrified. He might have slightly overestimated his abilities, however; it's harder than he remembers to take down those two deformed creatures, and with both affected by Devil Speed, they get to attack much faster than he does.

[all_wound_up]

[Nano's wandering around by herself during the 13th Hour, and happens to catch sight of Desco doing the same. And even though she knows Desco isn't a normal little girl, her natural instincts to protect little kids are kicking in anyway.]

Desco! Do you want to fight together tonight?

[genkibot]

And during one of those outings, a blue-haired cheery girl is outside trying to flag Desco down!

"Desco! Desco! Are you going out to fight monsters tonight?"

June 16th, Leo District

[covermyback]

[Now that Zelgius's wounds have completely healed (thanks, Caduceus docs!), he can finally explore the city. He had been warned about this mysterious 13th Hour, but the warnings only made him more wanting to test his blade on these new threats. Right now, he's patrolling the Leo district, staying particularly close to the hospital in case anything strays too close to there. It's kind of a thank you to the doctors who saved him, in a way.]

[operationbox]

[Unfortunately, one of the times he'll pass the front of it, there will be a statue in front of the door. From the other direction comes a girl in a uniform.

For now, she isn't going to say anything. She's too far away from the General to warrant a greeting.]

June 15th, Pisces District

[all_wound_up]

[Nano's sticking close to the apartments and her own house this weekend for whatever reason. She's got her Velvet Room Persona R.O.B. out, and also looks to be holding a key-shaped sword in her right hand as she looks around for demons to fight.]

[poppetstrings]

[Xion has been running down any and all heartless every time she sees them, emblem or not. But when she sees Nano, and the familiar glint of what looks to be a keyblade, she stops. Should Nano be out and about fighting monsters on her own yet?

Well, Xion has to give her the benefit of the doubt. She was fighting the heartless all on her own since the first moment she can remember.]

Nano?

Any night, Leo District

[terminally_clever]

[Fumi tends to stay close to the JP's office during her patrols, and that's where she can be found again night after night. She's got Krabby with her for support, fighting low-level demons and hoping to train the crab a bit more so that it can maximize its potential. Every so often when a tougher demon comes around, she takes out Tao Tie or Fenghuang and obliterates it in one hit before healing herself and continuing on.]

[meaningdies]

[Naoya is chasing a strange masked man, looking frustrated. He's faster than he thought.]

Get back here!

[He summons Coyote, who leaps forward and slices through him with Arm Chopper. The thing finally falls to the ground before disappearing.]

Tch... fear makes them faster, I guess.

[He turns, and notices Fumi.]

... Ah. Hello there.

Any night, Taurus District

[emperor_penguin]

[Well, here's an unexpected sight for anyone who actually knows the Penguin King: he's out patrolling all on his own for a change. Maybe he's just feeling especially motivated for a change, or maybe he's getting something extra out of it, but whatever the reason, he's taken to the streets. His trusty hammer is at his side just like always, and he's also taking a new Persona out for a spin. Anyone who looks to be in trouble in the mean streets of Taurus can expect to get some aid in the form of a hulking penguin brute.]

[phantom_envoy]

...Weird. It's like the Persuader if his theme were 'giant poultry'.

[From the ground arises a girl in a monochrome costume, arms crossed and cape billowing elegantly behind her.]

Alright, you two. Whatever you're up to skulking around this time of night with that mallet, I'd advise you to drop it.

June 17th, Sagittarius District

[punchedoutdestiny]

Amid the buildings and factories of this district, there is a periodic sound of metal upon metal. Normally, this wouldn't be odd for the industrial area, but this sound is erratic and forceful.

It may have something to do with the two giant robots clashing. As would the sound of crumbling masonry as the two-faced robot crashes into a building following a powerful punch from the other.

"Damn it...!" Simon sputters, clenching the controls as he forces Gurren-Lagann to get back up. "Something's screwy here - it shouldn't be this difficult to take something down!"

A spectacle like this is bound to attract attention, or even assistance - but could one tell at a glance which one was the Visitor, and which was the monster?

[maskedhumanity]

Giant robots brawling it out and wrecking their surroundings is pretty hard to miss. Ignoring would probably be the reasonable thing to do, but Alex always finds his own reasoning with these things. Right now they might not be touching anything important however if the fight drags on damage will accumulate, and it might spill out to more populated areas.

This isn't his fight; hell he doesn't even know who the sides are or if there's even a good or bad side. All Alex does know is one or both sides need to go down so they stop making a mess. The fact that the sides in question are giant fucking robots doesn't worry him in the least, they're just over-sized tanks with legs. Fucking easy.

As he makes his way across some rooftops towards the machines the thought strikes him that maybe he should at least attempt to figure out what the deal is before attacking everything. The only things around to ask though are the robots... that red one looks like it might have a face though, or two, so maybe it can talk? Worth a shot and if it doesn't pan out no one can say he didn't try. Those shoulders are a good place to stand on and address the top head, he can't think of anything better so it'll do.

Damn they're still fighting aren't they? This is a really bad idea but there's no going back now, Alex just grits his teeth and gives one last full jump towards the fray. Thankfully his aim is dead on and he lands on on Gurren-Lagann, right next to the top head. He'd take a moment to brag about how he's still got it if he wasn't worried about being punched by one or both robots any minute, so best cut to the chase.

"Hey there big fella, do you realize you're wrecking the place?" The 'or do you even care?' goes unspoken, he might not be afraid but he'd rather not piss off the giant destruction machine just yet.

June 19th, Cancer District

[spacedstates]

Those who receive notifications that a new arrival has cropped up in the city might be a little surprise when it goes off during the 13th Hour. Just where have they shown up? And during the 13th hour to boot?

Well, as it turns out, it might take a while to find them, but to those who were exploring the tech-heavy Cancer Distict that night would be in for a bit of a surprise, as the sounds of fighting broke out.

It looks like the kid (or at least he looked like he should still be in high school...) had found himself in the way of a handful of masked humanoid monsters, and while he clearly didn't have the numbers advantage, he was certainly trying his best. The real interesting tell was that he hadn't tried to break out a persona yet.

It was clear he wasn't from around here - he didn't even have the watch yet - but nevertheless, he seemed bound and determined to finish this fight before trying to get anywhere... if he even knew where to go.

He ducks a swing by one of the masked mooks, grabbing them and delivering a headbutt. Whoever this kid is, he's tough. Maybe you should give him a hand and get him to where he needs to go, before anything else happens.

[unbroken_chain]

Okay, so this is where the COMP said the newbie was...

Whoa.

Kotoha will just swoop down on her giant moth, using his sheer bulk to sweep them aside as she extends a hand to the new guy.

"Quick, grab my hand!"
