▼ 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.

[Ushiro just slumps, collapsing back against his pillow. This doesn't make any sense.]

... Right. Lucky me. Fine. So why am I here, and who's this Philemon guy?

...You're here to, uh... fight monsters, mostly.

But I think we should probably talk about this stuff later. You look like you need to get some rest.

That's stupid. I'm not a fighter. ... Well. Sort of. But I'm not athletic or anything.

[... He tilts his head into the pillow.]

You're probably right, I guess.

Aha....

Don't worry. I'll come back in a bit and explain everything later. The doctors here will look after you.

I'm Atsuro. Atsuro Kihara.

... Jun Ushiro. Everyone just calls me by my family name, though.

[He's not even sure if he should use it anymore, but he has no other name to use.]

...I can do that.

[Atsuro smiles a bit awkwardly as he stands.]

Try and get some sleep. I'll come back in the morning, OK?

... Yeah. There's not much else for me to do, I guess.

[Even if the idea of spending more time in a hospital makes his skin crawl. It's the smarter option... and he really is tired.]

Atsuro tries to flash a pale smile before he stands and exits out the door, disappearing down the hall. He will indeed return the following morning after Jun is more rested...

((Shall we time skip or would you prefer to end here?))

Ushiro settles back into the bed as one of the nurses heads in to check his vitals.

[[Timeskip is fine by me! o/]]

[The following morning at around 10:30AM, there is a light knock at the door. He figured he'd give Jun enough time to rest before he overwhelmed him with all the knowledge about the city.

Atsuro patiently waits to be invited in.]

[Ushiro sits up, blinking at the door. Oh. Right.]

Come on in.

[He hadn't gotten a lot of sleep last night. He'd kept wondering what was going on, why he survived. Eventually he'd gotten to sleep, but it wasn't enough. His expression is bleary when Atsuro opens up the door.]

Good morning.

[Atsuro enters and closes the door softly behind him.]

You look... Er. ...Better. [marginally] How are you feeling?

... A little better. [Marginally.] They're still not trusting me to walk on my own. I kind of collapsed on my way to the bathroom last night.

Otherwise I'm fine.

Er.

[That didn't sound promising. Atsuro pauses for a moment before sitting in the same chair he had used the previous afternoon.]

Maybe you should ring a nurse the next time. Just to be sure.

Is the diagnosis still exhaustion and malnutrition?

I thought I could get it myself.

And yeah. Basically. Not as much the malnutrition, just exhaustion. I heard one of the doctors saying something about acute stress reaction, and that they want to keep me another day just in case. I'm not in shock. I'm not that fragile.

[Even if he displays some of the symptoms... it's just how he is. That's what he keeps telling them.]

They were asking me about family history for diseases too. I told them I couldn't answer that and they made stupid faces at me.

Unfortunately, I think that means you'll be in here a lot longer than you would be otherwise for testing... But don't worry about it. I've been in here a few times myself.

[He gives a small shrug.]

They have good ice cream.

So... should I stress you out even more by talking about the town now?

Might as well. It's not like I'm doing anything here.
