▼ 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...

▼ 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 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.

[Well, if you're dropping the subject, she'll drop it too.]

Philemon pulls us all from different worlds. Like, one of my best friends here is a robot.

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

A robot...?

[She about to ask but then shakes her head.]

No, forget it. I don't even want to know. Tell me about the world you came from. You said Atsuro was from the same one, right?

[prettytamer]

Mhm! Kazuya decided to go along with Atsuro's plan, and we got Naoya to help us hack into Babel and use it to return all the demons to wherever they came from. So, the lockdown's over!

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

That... that worked? So then... he didn't have to...

[Kill people. Become the king of Bel. None of that was necessary. They could have ended the lockdown and not sacrificed their friendship. The realization is like a vice around her chest.]

We could have saved everyone. It was all pointless...

[prettytamer]

[That expression on Yuzu's face suggests that her line of events didn't go so well.]

What's, um. What's your timeline like?

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Kazuya... became the King of Bel.

[She lets that statement hang in the air for a moment before continuing.]

So the angels didn't lift the lockdown. And they convinced a lot of people to attack him. But he killed them all. Last I saw him he...

[She pauses, but forces herself to continue.]

I think he was going to challenge God. We were... trying to stop him.

[That decision was no easy one, and it's obvious that this is a tough topic for her.]

[prettytamer]

[When Yuzu finishes speakng, Midori lets her have a moment before hugging her again.]

Your timeline sucks.

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

[Hugging back. She really needed that hug. Yuzu makes a choked sound that falls somewhere between a laugh and a sob.]

Yeah... It's pretty bad....

At least yours turned out okay, right?

[Nice to know there was a world somewhere where everything worked out.]

[prettytamer]

Yeah, it's pretty good. I don't think I'll be taking it for granted now.

[It could have been a whooole lot worse.]

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

[She nods, and valiantly pulls up a smile.]

Hey... so, um... tell me about this place. If I'm gonna be here a while, I should at least know the basics.

[Don't mind her, she's just changing the subject over here.]

[prettytamer]

Weell, you get a free apartment room because you're from another world, and you get money monthly but it's not very much, so you might want to get a job too...

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

They just hand out free money? And give everyone an apartment? And there's seriously no catch?

[Because that somehow sounds too good to be true.]

[prettytamer]

It's better than having a big homeless problem, right?

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Okay, I guess that is a good point....

[She shrugs with a smile, deciding not to worry about it.]

I probably shouldn't question the first piece of good luck I've had in a while.

[She grins]

So where do I go for my free stuff?

[prettytamer]

[Thank goodness for less questions 'cause Midori is bad at answers.]

City hall! I, being experienced plus your friend, will lead you there.

[pretty_pink_ribbon]

Sounds good, let's go!


I am so looking forward to sleeping in a real bed tonight.

[prettytamer]

[Midori giggles and starts leading the way.] The beds are nice. And the food here is good! Sometimes a little weird, but most of the time it's normal.
