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?

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!"

[highschoolrider]

It's safe to say that when a giant moth swoops down and knocks away the handful of unwanted attention you grabbed for yourself, you should probably heed it.

Of course, that doesn't mean that Gen won't take a moment to appreciate what happened, sizing up the giant moth - and it's rider - with a single word.

"Woah..."

As the Masquerades start to pick themselves up, Gen takes a quick look around. Well, why not? It's not the craziest thing he's ever done by a long shot, as he grabs the hand of his would-be ride.

"Right!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha manages - barely - to haul him up onto Solar Logos' back.

"Hey, new guy! I'm Kotoha, and let me be the first to say - PUNCH IT, SOLAR LOGOS! - welcome to Hinoto-Ri!"

At Kotoha's command, the moth creates a downdraft with his six wings that flattens the Masquerades all over again, zooming away like a veritable insect rocket.

[highschoolrider]

While he doesn't necessarily get completely thrown by taking off like a rocket, it does throw him back a bit as his eyes bug out.

"W-Woah! This guy's fast!"

It takes a moment for what was said to register to him, blinking and grinning

"I'm Gentarou Kisaragi! The man who'll be friends with everyone in-! ...Hinoto-Ri, you said? Then I'll be friends with everyone in Hinoto-Ri!"

He thumps his chest with his free hand, pointing out and up skyward.

"Thanks for the help, but I don't think they were that tough...!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha laughs merrily, her ponytails streaming behind her in the wind. Watch out you don't get a face full of hair.

"Well, aren't you a brave one! Shall we circle around and take them down to give you some peace of mind, then?"

[highschoolrider]

He sputters a bit - he does get some hair in his face, but he gives a wide grin.

"Well, they picked the fight after all! I'm sure I can take them, no sweat! Just give me a place to drop down!"

AS he says that, he pulls out a rather peculiar looking device, that, after a moment, turns out to be... a belt buckle? He presses it to his waist as a loop of belt shoots out around, clicking it there.

"Alright, let's go!"

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha concentrates briefly, and with a sound like shattering glass summons her Persona.

"Alright, Solar Logos, let's go!"

The moth makes a sharp turn, heading back for the area they just abandoned. Upon arrival, it's plain to see the Masquerades milling around in confusion; they scatter wildly as Solar Logos banks and hovers just over the ground, a blast of heated air gusting over the street.

"You ready, Gentaro?"

1/2

[highschoolrider]

"Yeah, let's do it!"

Gen lets out a wily grin, flipping down the four red switches. A chorus of electronic hums joining in as each switch is flipped and he grabs the lever and the belt chimes out.

THREE, TWO, ONE!

"TRANSFORM!"

2/2

[karatespaceman]

He practically jumps off Solar Logos' back as light and fog encicles him, landing softly with the psssh of a jetpack.

The delinquent has been replaced with what is clearly an astronaut with a nosecone helmet, crouching down before throwing his arms up high in the air.

"IT'S SPACE TIIIIME!"

[unbroken_chain]

Well.

That was unexpected.

Oh well, there's still mooks.

"Mahama!"

[karatespaceman]

As the light flares up (taking a few of the Masquerades with it), he turns to look at you, his body language clearly speaking surprise and amazement.

"Woah... how did you-"

He ducks a quick jab from another, knocking it away and backing up a step.

"Alright, let's try this!"

He thumbs the rightmost switch - an orange one with a plunger that he presses, as the belt cries out again.

ROCKET ON

a large, orange rocket materializes overtop his right arm, as he points it at the masquerade.

"Let's go!"

You can feel the heat waft off the rocket as the afterburners on it kick on, Gentarou's feet lifting off the ground as he quite literally rockets toward the Masquerade, punching it with the full force of a actual rocket punch.

[unbroken_chain]

Kotoha applauds at that.

"Coool!"

And with that, she hurls an Agilao at another Masquerade.

[thisclinchesit]

Once the alert came, Shoutarou was quick to get ready to go investigate it - though to his irrational chagrin, he wasn't alone. Philip had insisted on coming along for some reason. Thankfully, Shoutarou's stubbornness was outweighed by his worry about a new arrival showing up during the 13th hour.

The sound of a motorcycle engine heralds the arrival of the pair, and once they pull to a stop, Shoutarou yanks his helmet off and finds himself rather gobsmacked at just what's out here.

"...Dopants?!"

[maskedhumanity]

Someone showing up right as the place is crawling with hostile monsters is shit luck. Alex decides it's worth checking out, anyone with that kind of luck might actually be someone he knows from back home.

It's just some kid though, some kid brawling with a couple of monsters and doing a pretty good job of it, probably won't last too long though. Might as well jump in, it's not like Alex has anything better to do.

That's literally jumping in too. One of the Masquerades receives a flying kick to the head and gets surfed across the ground a few feet before Alex flip kicks off, propelling the monster into a wall and flinging himself backwards to land right next to the kid... God that felt cool.

"Having fun, kiddo?"
