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.]

[ There's a delay between her calling and his answering, enough to make her think that maybe he isn't here. But he is here. He's just...trying assess the situation. ]

...Lady Palutena?
poorfueleconomy: (Into the starlit night)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-15 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She lets out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding. She hadn't expected him to be here exactly, but she had hoped.]

Hello, Pit. So they brought you here too?
gforceinmyfaaaace: (you two know each other?)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-15 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Lady Palutena? Is that really you?

[ he asks, answering her question ]
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-15 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses for a second.]

What, has Dyntos been making copies again? Of course it's me.
gforceinmyfaaaace: (show the cook some love)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-15 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)

















LADY PALUTENA!

[ At least he sounds happy, if not loud. ]
poorfueleconomy: (I know my heart should guide me but)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-16 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs.]

It's good to see you too, Pit. Where are you?

[Her all seeing eye isn't quite doing it's job right now.... -_- ]
gforceinmyfaaaace: (i missed you so much)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-16 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
I'm at the park training with my persona. But where are you? Wait, hold on, I think I see you on my COMP... Okay, I'll be right there!

[ If her all seeing eye could still work, she'd see Pit zooming out the park, making his way to where she is.

When he arrives, he's somewhat out of breath and would do good to stop and catch it. Instead he tackles right into Palutena, giving her a tight hug. ]


Missed you soo much!!
poorfueleconomy: (foolish dreamers turn their gaze)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-16 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah she only gets to be all seeing during the dark hour now.

She returns the hug, but she's slightly less enthusiastic and slightly more confused.]


Hey, take it easy. It hasn't been that long....

[But she's not stupid, so the thought occurs to her mid sentence. Because if you can pull people in from different worlds, then why not at different times?]

...Or has it?
poorfueleconomy: (What will fill this emptiness)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-17 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Months?!? You've been here for months?

[Okay, she hadn't expected that. She kind of feels bad for leaving him here on his own that long.]

Sorry, Pit. I guess I'm a little late...
gforceinmyfaaaace: (i missed you so much)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-17 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not your fault. I'm just happy you're here.

[ It is then that Pit decides to free her from the death grip--I mean hug. ]
poorfueleconomy: (Into the starlit night)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-17 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Better late than never, right?


So catch me up. What have you been doing lately?
gforceinmyfaaaace: (aw)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-17 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I've been working. I got a job at a sweets shop in the Virgo district. It's run by another angel! His name's Gabriel. There's actually a couple of other angels here. The other one I know is named Aziraphale... For some reason, both of them can hide their wings. I wonder if they can fly? Oh, but Aziraphale's teaching me how to read and write!

Anyway, Pittoo's here, too, and just as grouchy as ever. So's Viridi. They haven't done much, though. I mean, Viridi's been trying to organize a team to go investigate that mountain, but she hasn't tried killing anyone, so I guess that's good?

And, um... What else...

[ NOT going to tell her about his failed attempt at dating. ]

...wait, where are you staying? It should say on your guest card thing. I'm in Libra.
poorfueleconomy: (Into the starlit night)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-18 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
You've been busy, I see.

[She's already making mental plans to pay that sweet shop a visit. But she's actually more impressed with his new scholarly pursuits.]

You're learning to read? That's wonderful! You'll have to introduce me to your teacher.

[Hmm, Pittoo and Viridi. They've got quite a little party going on.]

Has she had any luck? Convincing people to investigate the mountain, I mean?

[And she'll check her card too.]

Let's see... Libra 7-08. Looks like I'm in the same building.
gforceinmyfaaaace: (something we can both agree on)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-18 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That's great!

[ So great that his wings stretch out and do a little flap. ]

I'm on the ninth floor, so you're not that far from me!

Anyway, about Viridi... I think she's gotten a few people to work with her? But I dunno the details. She's been real chatty ever since she got here. It's kind of weird, her trying to cooperate with humans.

She still makes fun of them a lot, though.
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
We got lucky on that one. I'll have to stop by and see your apartment sometime.

[Has he been keeping his room clean?]

Hmm, I guess I'll ask Viridi about it later. Have you heard about anyone else trying to organize an investigation? Not just of the mountain, but the city in general?

[It'll be easier to join with an effort already in progress, but she'll start her own if she has to.]

gforceinmyfaaaace: (pitushi)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-20 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nope. ]

I think so. I remember some people had dug up some information in the library, and I think Arturia's doing some research on her own...
poorfueleconomy: (hoping it will come today)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll take a little trip to the library later. I'll need more information before I decide how to proceed...

[She's approaching this like a conflict with any other opponent. The first step is to find out what you're up against. Then you figure out how to deal with it. Then she sends Pit to go deal with it for her. ]

In the meantime, you can show me where the apartments are.

gforceinmyfaaaace: (everyone with two thumbs!)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-21 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Right this way, madam!

[ He holds up his arm for Palutena to take.

As in hook her arm around his, not rip his arm off and run into the city, laughing MWAHAHAHA I GOT UR ARM ]
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-21 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She does the first thing. And not the second.

And lets him lead the way.]


So, I think you mentioned that you were training with your persona earlier? How user friendly are they?

gforceinmyfaaaace: (Default)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-21 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Considering they come from your soul, I'd say they're pretty user friendly. Some of them are kind of...weird, though. Like Pittoo's.

...the less we talk about Pittoo's persona, the better.
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-21 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, come on! Now I'm curious! What kind of persona did he get?
gforceinmyfaaaace: (you're not making fun of me)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-21 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
...it's really inappropriate.
poorfueleconomy: (What will fill this emptiness)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-21 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
......Inappropriate?
gforceinmyfaaaace: (you're not making fun of me)

[personal profile] gforceinmyfaaaace 2013-01-21 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Like, really...inappropriate.

[ Cut him a break he's like angel 13 talking to his patron goddess he's not going to say Pittoo's persona looks like a giant tentacle penis with his head affixed to the...head. ]
