▼ 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.

There had been a relative peace last month, apart from the fairy menace. The city was continuing to rebuild 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 opportunities; both good and bad.

To keep the population safe, the mayor had asked the city to stay inside 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 memento 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.

...hopefully 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 independent 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 ONCE PER IC WEEK, but not in the same thread 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: The creatures have to be in the Bestiary 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.

[princessofheart]

Sure, if you wanna.

[She offers out her can without even a little bit of hesitance; she was used to sharing things with Xion, having lived with her twice now in two different iterations. She'll find it just as bubbly as her own drink, but with a creamy strawberry flavor.]

[poppetstrings]

[... But she can't actually grab the can.

Since she has one hand full of keyblade and the other full of her own soda. She doesn't want to put her keyblade away. Not while Kairi's around, but her hands are full.

Excuse her while she dilemmas for a moment.]

[princessofheart]

Hm?

[She looks at her with confusion, having already put her keyblade away when they reached the vending machine because I forgot to mention that part. It seems to click after a moment, and she holds out her other hand towards Xion.]

Do you want me to hold your can for a moment?

[poppetstrings]

Yes please.

[At least she's still polite. She gives her own can up to exchange it with Kairi's, and, yep, same bubbly burning as before. Kairi wasn't secretly trying to poison her.

You've reduced her wary level by 10% now, Kairi. Congratulations.

Xion finally desummons her keyblade.]

They're both the same.

[princessofheart]

Yup! Both soda.

[If she were a Persona protagonist, she might just feel a social link coming on here.]

What brings you to this district, by the way?

[poppetstrings]

I was collecting hearts. And trying to get some money.

[You know, usual Organization M.O. Though there's far less heartless here than she would like. She can't just slack on her job because she's not at home.]

[princessofheart]

[Nnnnnnooottt gonna touch the heart thing.]

There's some pretty shady people in this district-- if I were you, I wouldn't want to stay around here for too long! Though to be honest, the monsters do tend to flock to here more often.

[She scrunches her brow and tilts her head a little when she realizes Xion had mentioned getting money, though.]

Did you run out of your allowance for this month already? It'd probably be easier to get a job than to farm heartless in that case.

[poppetstrings]

I can handle myself. [She's certain, and it's obvious in her voice. However, she tilts her head herself when Kairi mentions an 'allowance'. The word is foreign, and she doesn't know it.]

What's an 'allowance'?

[princessofheart]

[She won't argue that point, but it still does make her a little wary for Xion to be hanging around here; goodness knows who could try to take advantage of her.]

You know, on your passcard? Since we weren't brought here willingly, the government gives us some money for food and living every month, along with that free apartment. It's not a whole lot, just enough for basic needs, which is why a lot of people get jobs as well.

[poppetstrings]

Passcard?

[Was Kairi referring to that thing she got? The plastic thing?]

I haven't gotten any munny from anyone since I first got here.
