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.]

Among those milling about in the city is one confused boy in blue and cyan armor. He looks around, quite obviously dazed and confused. A red and pink mechanical dog sits next to him, who's just as confused, if not more. The dog whines once, getting the boy's attention. He stoops down on one knee, patting the dog on the head.

"Don't worry, Rush. I'm not sure where we're at, but we'll figure something out. Well. A lot of somethings." As there's a lot of questions on his mind - where this place is, why do they need help, what context does 'persona' have here, and why can't he get in contact with Dr. Light?

Raising up, Rock starts heading down the sidewalk, with Rush following along and periodically sniffing around. The things on the TV screens are just more wood on the fire that is his confusion about this place. He wants to ask someone about what's going on, but they seem so enthralled by the fight that it seems rude to interrupt.

tags you in both places because of indecision

Maybe one day Daichi would actually get used to the HORUS thing, but today was definitely not that day. Given the way he was struggling with his comp to navigate and come on he was no slacker with maps but seriously how was this thing even supposed to--

You know what screw it because he's pretty sure he's found someone when he sees a guy in blue and some kind of robot dog. Yeah.

"Hey-- You OK? You look a little lost."

AW YEAH

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-15 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
The inquiry gets Rock's attention, and he turns his gaze up toward Daichi, and gives a slightly awkward grin. Rush looks up as well, more curious than anything. "I'd say more than a little lost, really," he answers, rubbing the back of his helmet. "Just where am I? There was something about a city in trouble, but...well, this city doesn't look like it. And believe me, I've seen a troubled city more than once..."
hetried: (Grin ✰ hey hey hey)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-01-15 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Daichi looked down at Rush for a moment, and gave the dog(?) a small wave and a "Hey!" in greeting before he turned his attention back to Rock.

"Hah, tell me about it. They tell everyone that, but it's not in constant peril at least. This place is called Hinoto-ri-- they do have kind of a monster problem, but it seems like major things only happen at night or every few months."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-20 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
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."
hetried: (Neutral ✰ well uhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-01-26 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
He couldn't resist a grin of amusement at Rush's greeting, though his face went back to a little downcast at the topic of conversation.

"I know-- it's weird." Just because he hadn't been investigating on his own hadn't meant he was pretty damn suspicious. "Maybe not on a real schedule per se, but there's always some downtime in between. I guess one of the dangers is agitating the demons around here, but most people can take care of it no problem..."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-02-11 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
"That is odd," Rock answers, folding his arms as he starts to ponder, but his attention is piqued again. "Demons? Aren't those just in stories and myths? I mean, I saw some strange people before you found me, but I thought it was costumes, or they were robots..."

all_wound_up: (shy)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-16 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's interesting. Another dog - and this one looks to be a robot! Which means... the boy in the blue armor must be one too? Maybe? Unable to resist checking it out, Nano approaches the pair.

"Um... excuse me?"

[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."
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-21 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, no, it's not that!"

Nano shakes her head, holding her hands up.

"I just couldn't help but notice... your dog. Is he, um..."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-25 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
That gets a small head-tilt, and then a grin as Rock stoops down and puts a hand on Rush's head. Given the kind of questions he'd get at home, he had an idea where this was going. "A robot? Yeah!"
all_wound_up: (relaxed smile)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-25 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's amazing...! I didn't know there were robot dogs, too!"

Nano leans down, laughing and smiling as she holds out a hand palm-up in front of Rush.

"What's his name? Can I pet him?"

Unknown to Nano, the key on her back has begun to cheerfully spin in reaction to her excitement.

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-02-15 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Where I come from, there's all kinds of robots, for all kinds of things!" There's a pretty pertinent degree of excitement in his voice, but he'll hold out from rambling about the wonders of his world. For now. In the meantime, Rush takes the chance to lick Nano's hand.

"His name's Rush, and sure--" Rock answers, pausing as he notices the spinning key. "...are you a robot, too, miss?"

second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-01-16 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Asem was doing his regular patrols when he saw this scene. He stopped immediately. He couldn't tell that Mega Man was a robot, but it was plain as day that Rush was one.

Wow. First Nano, now this. Unable to restrain his curiosity, Asem walked closer. "Hey, excuse me. Does that dog belong to you?"

[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?"
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."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-25 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, it's a similar kind to the ones that were used in me," Rock answers as if it's the most normal thing in the world, then reaches down to pat the dog on the head. Then something dawns on him. "Have you not heard of Light Labs? If not, then... Where am I?"
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-01-25 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wait, you're an android, too?" Androids were popping up left and right these days. What was going on with --

No, wait. He'd asked a question. "Oh. Right, sorry. This is a totally different world from yours. It sounds crazy, but I swear it's true."

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-02-15 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess 'android' is a kind of fitting term, though we use 'Robot Master'," comes the reply, but Asem gets a blank stare from Rock as he brings up the other world stuff.

"...a different world?"

photonicfighter: (Dakki upgrade - headtilt)

[personal profile] photonicfighter 2013-01-25 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
The sporting event is certainly engrossing. It's got the attention of the purple-skinned and armor-clad lady that's standing nearby, watching behind a few others. But it can't keep her attention forever. (And it just cut to commercial, besides...) Dakki gives her head a little shake, takes a step back...

"Oh!"

And stops short when she lays eyes on the boy in blue and his...armored dog? No, no, that was a robotic dog, wasn't it? She turns herself about properly, smiles, and leans in ever so slightly.

"What a lovely pet you have! I've never seen anything quite like him. Are dogs of his sort common here?"

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-01-25 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
There's an initial moment of slight awe when Rock sees Dakki, but it quickly turns to eager fascination. "Thanks! And...well, I couldn't tell you, I'm not really certain where 'here' is, though if they do have other robots like Rush, that would be awesome!" Rush barks once in mutual approval, then Rock's curiosity can't be held back. "Are you another Robot Master, miss?"
photonicfighter: (Dakki upgrade - face forward)

[personal profile] photonicfighter 2013-01-26 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh! So you've just arrived, then? Me too!" Dakki is surprised and delighted. So she's not the only one! Now there's someone she can be confused with! It's so much easier to be confused with someone.

And here was some more confusion! "Er... Robot Master? No, I'm a CAST, not a robot. And I'm not sure where 'master' fits in, there..." She brings a hand to the side of her face, frowning slightly. "My name is Dakki Sigal. And you'd be...?"

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-02-15 10:54 am (UTC)(link)
"I guess so," he answers. Indeed, she's not the only one lost. Looks like there's even more motivation to get to the bottom of whatever's going on.

He does look a bit sheepish upon correction. "Oh, sorry - I didn't intend to assume." He rubs the back of his helmet with one hand, then holds the other out for a handshake. "I'm Rock Light, or Mega Man.
photonicfighter: (Dakki upgrade - posed)

[personal profile] photonicfighter 2013-02-24 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
"Maybe we can figure a few things out together, then. Newcomers should stick together?" And she takes his hand, shaking it quite firmly and energetically.

"It's good to meet you! Can I call you Rock? Is that alright?"

[personal profile] flyonadog 2013-02-28 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
"It'd certainly beat going at it alone! And yeah, that's quite alright, Miss Dakki!" He glances around, then half-laughs, half-sighs. "Looks like there's a lot of ground to cover, though."
