The Search for the Newcomers, January 2012 Edition.

New Arrivals


Who: Open to Everyone, but only Newly Accepted Characters can start threads.
Where: All around the city! They appear where you want them to appear.
Summary: Newcomers arrive and by now the Government is more ready and sends everyone out to go people hunting.
Warnings: ARRIVALS. Also assume the first thread is the ones who tell you about the city, and the other tags for the character can be talking with others in the city and learning more about it.
Music: This

[FOR THOSE IN THE CITY:]
It was Grand Prix frenzy by this time. The streets were filled with people watching every available television screen, crowds in the bigger areas of Scorpio district with the larger screen.

Now the HORUS detection system was working again. The device allowed everyone to spot abnormalities; and while it was being re-tuned to work with the appearing buildings, they could hone in on newcomers at a much faster pace. The leftover energy from the travel (commonly called Magatama Residue) gave them a few minutes to find them before it would flicker out.

Combined with the fact they could appear in most parts of the city, it made finding the newcomers was both easy yet frustratingly difficult.

As the blips appear on your own radar function, it was also nice enough to calculate for you the best transport and destination routes to take to get there. Speed was of the essence, after all.

[FOR THOSE WHO JUST ARRIVED:]
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.

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...

But why are everyone huddle around large televisions screens for some reason?

[OOC: As stated above, only new characters can start a thread, but feel free to jump in any of them. characters arrive with their clothing and whatever items they had on them the moment they were taken; the remaining items will be later found in their apartments.]

... Ryoji-kun!?

[Give her a moment, yes. It's quite the shock to be seeing him, out of all people, here suddenly.]

Ah, uhm-- I just got here, actually. Are you... [a pause, trying to figure out how to word things. are you real somehow didn't feel like it'd be all too correct.]

Are you alright? [Well, that would have to do.]
greatseal: (koromaru love)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-01-17 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll accept that bark as proof enough.] I'm glad... But that means there's a few people here who know you that you won't remember.
tacticals: (thirteen.)

[--Well, Fuuka certainly hadn't been expecting that. She's stunned enough by someone knowing her that for a second she forgets what she was planning on asking, her head tilting curiously instead.]

... Hello?
psionichax0r: (2weat 06)

[personal profile] psionichax0r 2013-01-17 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

The facility.

We're still there, right?
greatseal: (teehee)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-01-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
...Oh. [The disappointment is pretty obvious, although Minako just as quickly replaces it with a smile.] I'm sorry... I didn't mean to confuse you.
tacticals: (two.)

[personal profile] tacticals 2013-01-17 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Too long. A lot has happened since then.

[Since his death, but she didn't want to dwell too much on that when Shinjiro was standing here in the flesh, so she's quick about redirecting to the latter of what he'd said.]

Mm! It was very sudden, yes. I'm still a little disoriented, but... it doesn't look too bad? [Or rather, it looked populated enough where she was fairly sure she could find a restaurant if she needed to in order to survive (and ask directions).]
tacticals: (one.)

[personal profile] tacticals 2013-01-17 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that's alright. [She smiles right back, even if she was still a bit curious. Poor girl had looked so surprised...]

Do you have a moment?
misery_hates_company: Icon by <user name="Prof"> (I make this look easy)

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2013-01-17 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Don't say I never offered. I DO hope you enjoy your stay here. Ho ho ho.

*And off she goes.*
frozenmemories: (I'M DE STRONGEREST)

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2013-01-17 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
That caught her attention really fast!

"HEY! What do you mean by that? I should show them that I'm the Strongest!"

Guess what all she caught? And now she's floating there, looking ready to run off and beat up someone.
frozenmemories: (Eh?)

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2013-01-17 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[She blinks and looks down to the girl and then lands beside her]

Yeap, I can fly! I can do a lot more then just fly too!
greatseal: (forgive me)

[personal profile] greatseal 2013-01-17 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Of course!

[This situation was more daunting than meeting Akihiko or Mitsuru again. They'd both been her good friends, but the camaraderie still wasn't quite the same as it was between the junior SEES members. Cooking lessons, visiting the shrine in the summer, Yakushima and Kyoto, Christmas... Fuuka probably has those memories, too - Minako is just missing from them. Almost subconsciously, she wraps one hand around the headphones hanging from her neck.] Were you looking for something?

[Obviously she is, there's no need to play dumb. But it's easier right now than trying to sort out how to explain.]
frozenmemories: (Eh?)

[personal profile] frozenmemories 2013-01-17 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Cirno turns to the voice and stares for a moment. She's having trouble placing what the owner of the voice is]

I'm Ice Fairy, The Strongest ever!

[She frowns for a second and then asks with a curious look]

Are you a Oni?
complexdisorder: (Reasoning)

[personal profile] complexdisorder 2013-01-17 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, you are not interested in your ecto-sister's sapphic escapades? I thought that was all teenage boys' fantasies.

[She hides a snicker behind one hand.]

Of course. Kanaya and I have been holding our breath in anticipation for your arrival. We nearly suffocated.
determinedhowl: (『curious』 hello there!)

[personal profile] determinedhowl 2013-01-17 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Aroo? [How many other people know him that he doesn't...? ;;]
primordial: (are we just silent stones)

[personal profile] primordial 2013-01-17 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I was new around...two months ago, I think. So no, I didn't ask to be here either. But I wasn't hurt, not that I know of.

Has somebody told you about Personas?
all_wound_up: (elated)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-17 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
So cute! What else can you do?
all_wound_up: (surprised)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-17 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Excuse me, I'm sorry. Was I in your way?
all_wound_up: (huh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-17 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
What's wrong? Is your tummy upset?
all_wound_up: (hurt)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-17 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Whew. Nano lets out a big sigh of relief as he lets go.]

I know... I wear it for work.

[Y'know, even though she's not there right now.]
tacticals: (five.)

[personal profile] tacticals 2013-01-17 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm a bit lost.

[Fuuka offers up a sheepish smile, a little embarrassed over actually saying it out loud. She fails at tucking her hair behind her ear, but it was enough time for a deep breath, to gather herself up-- not that Fuuka really felt she needed to just yet; the girl seemed quite nice.]

Is there anything you can tell me about this place? [A beat, her next words softer and contemplative.] Or where the best place to eat is...

[Oh hey guy, talking to yourself. Have commentary from a passing stranger.]

There isn't much withing the city, no. Capricorn district is your best bet, but be sure to go while the sun is still up.
fools_journey: happy (nice smile with energy)

[personal profile] fools_journey 2013-01-17 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ Minato stops as he feels the tug on his coat, bringing a hand up to pull off one headphone as he turns and then freezes, eyes widening. ]

Fuuka...?!

[ A moment or two passes before he smiles and turns to face her properly. ]

Ah - it's great to see you again!
tacticals: (two.)

[personal profile] tacticals 2013-01-17 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Fuuka had set about exploring a bit more of the place, but she certainly didn't mind stopping when she hears a young voice call out to her. She smiles, nodding.]

Yes, of course.
islandshore: (glad)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-01-17 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[See, this he can handle. Kairi's friendly demeanor eases any remaining tension, and his lips quirk into a smile. Weird as this situation is, at least she's trying to ease him into it rather than acting all cryptic like Maleficent.]

Guess a quick detour wouldn't hurt. To tell you the truth, I was getting hungry, anyway.

[Probably doesn't help that he hadn't exactly stopped to snack, either.]

[Her face brightens, a soft sigh of relief escaping past her lips unconsciously. He was here, he was alright! It almost seemed impossible, yet here he was. Minato, not some type of shadow or seal or anything of the sort.

Though, he'd have to excuse her-- after everything that had happened, everything that she'd learned recently... tears well up at her eyes, which Fuuka laughs off softly when she notices, wiping them away. Her smile still intact.]


I-I'm sorry, I just didn't think I'd see you again. [So soon, at that.]
