Another day passes, and with it, the sun sets on a still unaware Tokyo city. All await the inevitable return of the dark hour, with a single day being hardly enough time to decipher the cause or threat of the unknown Earth rattling tremors that marked the beginning of the last.
And when the clock strikes twelve, you are made to endure another.
The noise is deafening, it’s presence far longer and worse than before. Furniture such as whole dressers, even beds are rattled enough to leap in small bounces from the once sturdy floor, chairs knocking clean to their sides as cabinets swing wildly from hinges. You can barely stand against the force, let alone walk. It becomes clear, whatever causes them is either growing stronger…
or growing nearer.
The earthquake eventually resides, and all is still beneath a nearly full moon.
Thankfully besides the items within the buildings being rattled, everything remains structurally sound and this time, the lights stayed on.
Minutes after the tremors return you feel something brush against the edge of your consciousness. It felt very similar to Phoenix and Jin’s connection to you from yesterday. Without a second thought you reached out to the feeling and mentally secured yourself to it. You weren’t sure what the plan was for this Dark Hour. The tremors were much stronger than yesterday, the chances of no one getting injured in this one were slim.
‘Everyone this is Kirijo Mitsuru, if you can make it outside by yourself please do. Otherwise state where you are and we’ll come get you’
Thankfully you weren’t injured in the quake and you were able to make it outside where Mitsuru, Yukari and some vaguely familiar faces were standing behind her. It took no longer than a few minutes after you arrived before everyone seemed to have make it out of the various buildings.
“Thankfully no one was seriously injured tonight. These tremors happening during the Dark Hour are not natural to this phenomenon. This Dark Hour is already different than the one we are familiar with. As some of you may have noticed last night you were able to summon your Persona without an Evoker. That normally isn’t possible unless you were an A.S.S.W.”
Mitsuru explained as she glanced to Yukari and pulled something out of the box Yukari was holding. What she pulled out seemed to be a white holster with a silver gun inside. You could hear a mixture of confusion and recognition from everyone else.
“Ideally, we had hoped that we could find a way home for everyone here without your involvement. However, the tremors from these last two Dark Hours has us wary of what could be coming next. So the decision was made to give you these Evokers. They will help you summon in the Dark Hour. Operation of one is simple.”
Mitsuru pulled the Evoker out of the holster and placed it to her head, before pulling the trigger. She executed the move so quickly that no one had time to protest against the action. Artemisia formed from the blue shards generated by the shot shortly after.
“If you need anything else after this, please let me or anyone else know and we’ll arrange for you to get them.”
Artemisia disappeared from view after Mitsuru stopped talking. You noticed people starting to form a line to recieve these Evokers. Seeing no harm in taking one, you line up as well. The between the eerie green sky and the tremors this entire situation has you worried, what could possibly be coming?
