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.]

Well, that's certainly true. Judal certainly didn't like to take responsibility of his actions, no matter what the consequences.

"Responsibilities? I just like to do what I want."

He'll return her smile with a haughty looking smirk of his own.

"Aren't I the best kind of guy around?"

This guy certainly thinks so too! So Desco certainly isn't the only person who likes to brag about themselves.

"I just wanna correct you on one thing. I'm not a normal human. I'm a Magi."
alwaysataclimax: (Whaddaya want?)

[personal profile] alwaysataclimax 2013-01-20 10:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Eh?" Well, he doesn't correct her to start, so Momotaros is definitely a sir. And maybe a little surprised at the use of a respectful term like that being given to him without his demanding it.

"Yeah, I need t' know where the hell I am! That jerkass with the mask didn't explain much of anything!"

Rush barks once in response to Daichi's greeting, then moves to pace around him, sniffing at his pants a few times before stopping to sit near Rock and Daichi.

Rock, however, relaxes a little - just a little. No immediate danger is good, and means he can get more information before anything else. He does look a little less than convinced about the other comments. "...the danger's on a schedule? That's... Oddly considerate."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-20 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
It is indeed another robot! Both Rush and Rock turn to face Nano after she greets them. Rock waves a bit with a small smile. "Hello there! Do you need help with something? I'm... Not from around here, really, but I'll do what I can if you do need something."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-20 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's an odd question - Asem gets an odd look from both of them before Rock answers. "Yeah, Rush is my dog - why do you ask?"

[Kazuya's gaze becomes a bit shrewd]

Do you understand me? Lift your paw twice for yes.

Desco's red eyes widen slightly as she takes that in.

"Oh! Desco is sorry!"

She looks up at you as she continues.

"Desco didn't know you were a girl!"

...what?
magice: DNS (Hot night anger flowin')

[personal profile] magice 2013-01-20 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"What..."

Insert a look of aghast here. Where did this idea suddenly come from?!

"In what way do I look like a girl to you?!"

Judal is as manly as they come and he proudly shows off his nicely built body in what little clothes he has on. But at least he isn't wearing a "dress" like a certain 'boy'!
tyrantball: (Bzuh)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-01-20 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
And now Desco is confused and a little upset.

"If you're a man, than don't call yourself a Mage!"

Once more pointing a claw at you.

"Don't you know anything?! Girls are Mages, boys are Skulls!"
determinedhowl: (『curious』 hello there!)

[One... Two paw lifts.]

[Good. Subject switched enough he doesn't have to get flustered and be more angry instead.]

Yeah what senpai said. Would make it easier if they were actually tellin' us how they are.

...although uh...I'm sure with you around, that'll help things to...

[Shiki was wandering around the city, trying to get through the sea of people while attempting to taking much of the sights as she can. This Gran Prix thing was a big deal, huh? She heaved a sigh of relief after her attempt of weaving and dodging bodies walking down the street was successful (looks like growing up in Shibuya has its perks after all |D). Shiki glanced to one side, spotting Koromaru at the corner of her eye, frowning when she heard the canine whine.]

Aww.

[She makes her way over to the dog, kneeling down to his level.]

Hi there! [She hold her hand out for him to sniff. She might smell a little bit like death but she's harmless!] Did you just get here?
magice: DNS (So call my number)

[personal profile] magice 2013-01-20 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Now his intelligence is even being challenged! What nerve!

"That sounds stupid... Besides, I'm not an ordinary magician anyway!"

Judal defiantly points back.

"And you're the one who doesn't know anything if you don't know what a Magi is!"
spaztastic: (005 ☆ If you all you see is how I look)

[personal profile] spaztastic 2013-01-20 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Awww. Shiki kneels down to his level, smiling in hopes to reassure the little boy.]

It's fine~ Ask away!
tyrantball: (RAAAAR)

[personal profile] tyrantball 2013-01-20 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Desco is not stupid! A mage is someone that commands the elements to destroy their enemies! And a male mage is called a Skull!"
belfire: (uh huh star)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-20 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I'll be damned.

[This is one smart dog! Hm, an ownerless, visitor dog...did that mean it had the potential to summon a Persona? He thought some form of sentience was necessary for that, at least. Maybe it was a magic dog?]

Can you summon a Persona?
islandshore: (o rly?)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-01-20 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah?

[Pff, whatever. He'll go ahead and dismiss his Soul Eater with a flick of his wrist, pressing that hand into his hip.]

Anything else I should expect?

[Because, really, this takes the cake as far as weirdness goes.]
dreamprotector: (pic#4947379)

[personal profile] dreamprotector 2013-01-20 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He snorts, smirking half-amused.]

Expect things to get only more weird from here on out.

[That might seem unhelpful, but it's utterly true.]
sageprincess: (Kept secrets)

/so late, feel free to ignore this if you want, herp

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-01-20 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . .

Fa... rore?

-- No, can't be. But this woman is definitely divinity of some sort, she can tell that much. Pardon the Princess as she shakes herself out of her momentary shock.]


Ah, of course not. I will answer to the best of my ability.
sageprincess: (Discerning intentions)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-01-20 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Why is a demon asking what's going on? Weren't they supposed to be natives of this city?

There's... uncertainty in her expression, and she keeps her distance, just in case, but a young, blonde, pointy-eared woman eventually responds. "If you would be more specific, I can try."
second_destiny: (Nervous)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-01-20 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Um, well..." Okay, how to word this without sounding too inconsiderate...

"It's just that...I was curious, because I've never seen that kind of robotics before."
alwaysataclimax: (GET DOWN HERE BRAT)

[personal profile] alwaysataclimax 2013-01-20 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That distance? It's gonna be closed once Zelda addresses Momotaros and he notices her. He's obviously irritated and confrontational in his motions. Clenched fists and raised shoulders likely aren't helping his case, either. He huffs, drawing his hands nearer to his chest, then makes a sweeping, open-handed motion with his right hand, almost like throwing something. "Specific?! Alright, fine - where the hell am I?!"
sageprincess: (Kept secrets)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-01-20 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
... Nnnnnope. The instant he steps close, she makes a quick (though discreet) step back, keeping herself away from his swinging arms. Her own muscles are tense, ready to bolt should the need arise, but she stands her ground for now.

"The city is called Hinoto-ri. I cannot say I know exactly how we were brought here, but a man by the name of Philemon is responsible as far as anyone knows."

Now please calm down a little bit, Mr. Demon Sir.
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

no worries~

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, she's already gotten the basics by now, so there's really only one question left.]

Thanks. I'm still finding my way around, so I was hoping to get directions to the library.
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Enthusiastic? Try irritating...

Anyway, there must be some way to find out more about these Anoli. I guess I'll just have to dig a bit.
