Joey was sitting in the train, he was excited about going to a new school and making new friends, after 9,5 years in an orphanage, he was finally a "free man".
The speakers in the train began to crackle "We will be arriving at Iwatodai Station in about five minutes, this will be our last stop. Thank you for your attention. Kghh!"
Joey looked at his watch, "hmph, 15 minutes 'til midnight, perfectly in time" he said jokingly to himself.
Once arrived at the station, Joey left the train, feeling a cold wind in his neck. He wanted to leave the station as fast as possible, since it was at least a fifteen minute walk to the dorm, and it was already approaching midnight. On his way out, all the lights suddenly went out "must be closing time" he thought to himself.
Once outside the station, he saw rows of coffins all around him, it was kind of scary, so he decided to get to the dorm as fast as possible.

Nagito Takanashi: 11:45PM

BZZZT BZZZT BZZZT

The sound of an electronic alarm clock rang out in the dorm room of Nagito Takanashi. The brown-haired, 18-year old shota in question sat up in his bed, stretching his arms out and giving a loud yawn before slamming his alarm off. Even if he was waking up, it'd be good to be considerate of the blokes who actually slept this late at night. The shota threw his blanket aside and jumped off the bed, fully dressed for the night ahead.

"Owaaaaaaah~ Good midnight everyone!" Nagito declared, picking up a pistol off of his side table before slipping on his shoes and heading out his dormitory door with a hop in his step.

Nagito Takanashi: 11:59PM

Waiting waiting waiting. That's what our favorite younger-than-he-looks brunet had been doing for the past 14 minutes. 5 minutes in, it got quite boring, so he took out his phone and began to play some games on them. As of now, he was sending birds flying at structures in order to kill green pigs. Quite a time killer if anything were to be said. He pocketed his phone and checked his surroundings again. 'Green night sky, pools of red... Yup~ That time of the day again~!' he thought happily as he took out his gun from his pocket, put it to his head, and pulled the trigger.

Nagito Takanashi: 12:03PM

"Holy crap! I'll never get used to that!" Nagito said as he managed to stand with his jelly-legs. No matter how many times he'd put an Evoker to his head, he'd neber really get used to the feeling of having the cold steel of a gun, even a fake one, put up to his head and pulled. Though....

Nagito looked at the white-haired, gold, red, and black clad Persona behind him. "Heh, nice to see you again, Karna."

Mike Fertar: 12am
A young man with blonde hair stood in the middle of the deserted street well not really as there was lines of Coffin across the street, he held his duel swords close to him and the evoker was easily accusable to him if he needed it

Dark Hour, 10 minutes in
Joey arrived at the dorm, freaked out by all that he saw just moments before, "what the fuck was that?" He thought to himself, "and what's with this night sky? all green..."
he was still quite taken aback by the shock, and there was no one around to explain him what just happened

Seraph: 12:00 A.M.
"... It's time.", he said, reloading his long barrel Magnum revolver. He walked out in the streets and noticed some Shadows rising. Seraph launched his Evoker and summoned his Persona. "Tyrael!", he said.

Ib Guertena | 11:50

Ib stirred and blinked her eyes open, gazing blankly at the ceiling for a moment. One glance at the clock had her sighing and throwing her covers back, sitting up and getting to her feet. She was already dressed in her usual jeans, shirt, and jacket and she bent down, slipping on her shoes. She grabbed her Envoker and exited her dorm room, shutting the door behind her.

Mary Guertena | 11:50

Mary hummed quietly to herself as she sat on her bed kicking her legs back and forth. She had woken up just a few minutes ago and was waiting until she could leave her dorm. Her Envoker was already in hand and after a few more moments she hooped up and practically skipped out the door.

Ib & Mary Guertena | 11:55

Mary grinned largely at the sight of her sister and walked over to her. "I'm so excited." Mary trilled softly, spinning once in a circle; long blonde hair twirling out behind her. Ib merely smiled meekly, standing there quietly as the minutes ticked down.

Ib Guertena | 11:59

Simultaneously the twins raised their arm and pressed the barrel of the gun at their temple. They began counting down in their head and when they reached zero they both pulled the trigger.

Ib Guertena | 12:05

Ib helped Mary off the ground and they both turned to look at the Persona's standing before them. Pixie landed in Ib's upturned palm, smiling mischievously up at her as her delicate wings fluttered behind her. Ib gave a small smile in return. Mary hugged the scowling Alice, giggling as she took her hand and began tugging her in a direction, Ib following quietly behind.

Ib Guertena | 12:10

The twins and their Persona's were walking down the street, their footsteps echoing in the silence.

Marcus was chilling out in the security to wait out the dark hours. He had just awaken his potential a five days ago, and was not comfortable sleeping during the dark hour. While he was eating his salt and vinegar he notice Joey entering the dorm through the security camera,So he decide to radio it in. "Nagito Takanashi you in?" he asked him before waiting for a respond. "I remember you guys told me that...Um...Normal people can't walk around during the dark hour...right? W-well...some...dude with blue haired just walked in...is he...on our side or is he one of those Shadow?" Marcus asked him sounding worried,he didn't know if he should risk going down there to check up on him since he was almost new to this.

He was kind of shake during the dark hour since his for experience Trauma him.

Joey looked around the entrance hall, it was empty, no one seemed to be there, "Hello?" he exclaimed "Anyone there?"

"Hm? Blue hair? Well everyone I know that can waltz around Dark Hour has brown, black, red, or yellow hair. Probably not a friendly, but I'll check it out just in case. New students at school and all. I'm still in the dorms anyway, too," Nagito radioed back to Marcus once he had heard the call come through, "you can join if ya want~ NT out."

And with that, he turned back to his Persona. "Looks like we got places to go and people to meet, ne?" he said with a smile as he walked down the stairs into the entrance hallway. Lo and behold, there was indeed a blue-haired fellow just standing there confused, asking if anyone was anywhere nearby. So, definitely not a Shadow, but if he was a Shadow, he was a stupid shadow.

"Ohayou~!" Nagito called out to the bluenet, his own Persona Karna standing imposingly right behind him "I'm here!"

Joey heard a voice from near the stairs, it was a guy with brown hair, with some weirdo in knights armor standing behind him. "hey!" He exclaimed, walking towards them, "Nice to meet you, I'm Joey Mariah, and you two are?"

"Oh, so he isn't a Shadow, it's clear. New guy. Feel free to join the welcoming bandwagon of... Me." Nagito radioed back to Marcus once he confirmed that Joey was most definitely not a threat. NT out, again~" And with that said, he directed his attention to the new guy, Joey Mariah.

"Well, I'm Nagito, or Takanashi, or Nagito Takanashi, if you want," the short brunet introduced himself with a wave and a smile. "This one back there," he pointed his finger back at the white-haired Indian son of the sun god, "is Karna." He then lifted up his radio, "and the guy I'm talking to is Marcus, but he might be coming here soon to give his own intro."

The 18-year old that looked more like 15 shrugged and walked towards Joey, giving a signal for his Persona not to follow. "Nice to meet'cha Joe," Nagito nodded whilst holding his hand out for a shake, "Welcome to the Dark Hour, the 25th hour of the day."

Joey looked at Nagito with a confused face, "25th hour? What do you mean by that?" I mean, there are only 24 hours in one day right? And what's with those coffins outside by the way? Is that some kind of advertisement stunt?"
He had so many questions, he could have rambled on all night, but he asked the most important ones, since there was no time for all the questions to be asked and answered now.

"Okay." Marcus simply said before picking up his bag of chips and evoker just encase. After that he radio everyone in. "There a new guy here." He simply everyone on the S.E.E.S who had a transmitter before walk in the hall with Joey and Nagito. "HI." He simply told and held his hand up to him before continuing to eat his chips. It wasn't much of a intro,but that was just him.

Mary and Ib both looked down at their radios then shared a look. A new guy? Another on of them? "Should we go check it out?" Mary asked to which Ib nodded. The twins walked until they reached the front entrance and went inside, Mary waving happily at Marcus and Nagito merrily while Alice stood at her side with a blank expression.

"Well.... Everything I'm about to say sounds like something out of a video game or anime, so try to bear with me," Nagito began, "there's actually a secret hour after midnight, the 25th hour. Normally, people can't really experience Dark Hour, what we call hour numero 25, but we're special because... Actually, I don't know why. It's better if you don't think about it. BUT ANYWAY..."

The shota took a breath before continuing, "basically, Dark Hour is special because it changes up the world and turns normies into coffins. Those coffins you saw? People, not a publicity stunt. But that's not the only thing, during Dark Hour, these things called Shadows come in and-"

Just then, Marcus entered and gave his lackluster introduction.

"Oh come on, man. Where's your sense of showmanship?" Nagito groaned, losing track of what he was saying.

As he kept walking, more and more Shadows came. He continued to shoot as Tyrael slashed them.. Seraph continued to walk until he reached Iwatodai Dorm, where he was supposed to go. However, before he got in, a large group of Shadows appeared. Seraph remained silent and continued to attack.

Marcus looked at him a little bit before replying. "I left it in the womb" After saying that he looked around a little bit. "I'm Marcus,Marcus Wilson" He told the newcomer with a bit more interest then before.

"Touche," Nagito replied, "touche indeed." He looked at the twins that had entered the dorm as a sly grin made its way on his face. "Why hello ladies!" he greeted them with a little 'get over here' gesture, "why don't'cha come over here and greet our new friend, Joey!" Of course, he heard the sounds of battle going on directly outside, too, but he figured whoever was out there could deal with it. Besides, even if they managed to get in, there were at least 4 Persona-users in the building, maybe 5 if he managed to pull his Evoker out in time and shoot Joey in the face with it.

Amren had been on been practicing on the roof before the Dark Hour even began. He let loose two quick jabs into the air, following it with a swift high kick before returning back to his neutral stance. Keeping his stance he looked up at the now green sky. "Such a shame, they're were such beautiful stars tonight..." he sighed letting off a few more punches again. Now that the Dark Hour was upon them he needed to meet up with the others and he was very curious about the new guy Marcus had mentioned on the radio. He patted the evoker at his side, but knew that he wouldn't be able to summon Fenrir in the building because of his size and figured a giant wolf might be too much to handle for someone experiencing the dark hour for the first time. He grinned as he grabbed his bag off the ground before heading inside.

Marcus told a second to look outside to see what going on. "I think what-his-name is in trouble." He told him before taking out his evoker and aiming it at his head. " Persona!" he spoke out before pulling the trigger and summoning his persona Kurama Tengu. Who flowed gracefully in the air with his white wings.
