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.]

Wait, now there's someone actually talking to him. Momotaros starts to head over toward Daichi, but he speeds up when he mentions 'Persona Duels', and leans up close to his face. "There's that word again! Persona! What the heck is that? That's been in my head and I dunno what it is!"

There's a pause, and then Momotaros' voice drops a bit, and he gets a handful of Daichi's scarf. "Are you the one puttin' crap in my head, kid?!"
hetried: (Flip ✰ WHY IS THIS HAPPENING)

"G-Gah--!" AS if this guy getting all up in his face like he was going to bite his head off wasn't enough, the last time Daichi was yanked around by his scarf he was about to be attacked by demons. So roughly the same situation!

He attempted to lean away from Momotaros as far as he could given the demon's grip on his scarf, while holding up his hands before himself in a defensive position. "Wha-- N-No! I didn't have anything to do with it!! I didn't even know what a Persona WAS before I got here! I wouldn't even know how to do that kind of thing!"
alwaysataclimax: (WHAT.)

Do pardon Momo, he's had bad luck with unassuming Japanese young men who wear scarves and act kinda doofy.

For a moment, he holds tight on the scarf, but then lets it go with a rather unnecessary wave of his arm to the side. "Then you know what it right now?"
hetried: (Uuuh ✰ what r u doin)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-01-26 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
That sure was a sigh of relief when Momotaros finally released his scarf, along with a slouching of his shoulders because dear god sweet freedom.

"Uh.. sort of? I'm not exactly an expert, I just know what they told us when we got here. I haven't even used mine that much."

It's totally not because he's weirded out or scared of it really nope.
alwaysataclimax: (Tell me how you'll stop me.)

"'They', huh. Are 'they' in league with that masked weirdo? Or...gaaaah, there's too much goin' on and none of it makes any damn sense!" Momotaros grips his head for a moment, then looks right at Daichi. "Just... Gimme the short version, kid. What's goin' on, where am I, what's this 'persona' thing..."
hetried: (Bash ✰ please don't trip over the demons)

"Um... 'Personas' are some kind of manifestation of your inner self? They're supposed to represent you, and you can summon them to help you fight, or to support others. Honestly, I don't really get all the symbolism crap, but they're good in a pinch.

"This place is a city called Hinoto-ri. I guess we were all brought here because it's in trouble, and apparently the world outside the city's been destroyed. I mean, day-to-day life doesn't seem to bad around here at least, but there are demons and anarchist groups that cause trouble every now and then, so..."

He never was very good at exposition.
