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.]

[That voice...! Haseo looks up.]

Atoli? [Wait-] Earlier? What do you mean? I've never been here before in my life! [Something's up] Is there someone else running around with my face? [The doppelganger? No, that's just a monster character from The World R:2, and they don't copy the skin graphics, either.]
virtualbirdwatching: (i want to feel until the end of time)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-16 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay that one is odd.]

...I don't know.

[These weird glasses things pop into existence around Atoli's face. It looks like she's checking something...]

But, welcome to Hinoto-Ri!

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-16 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Eh? Glasses?]

Hinoto-Ri? [There's more to this, there obviously is, but-] Hey, is there anywhere we can go to get out of the cold? I'm freezing my ass off here. [Which he really should discuss with her, but quite frankly he was too cold to prioritize properly]

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-16 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Uh, just follow me.

[If he really is new, it would be better to get his COMP and ID issued right away. Better go to the government building.

Wait, the shortest route there passes right by that place.]

[And indeed, as they make their way, Haseo suddenly stops.] That's Moon Tree's Guild! How is that possible?!
virtualbirdwatching: (losing sight of what's so important)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-16 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She stops accordingly.]

No one knows. All sorts of places from other worlds, not just The World, appeared about a week ago. The Hulle Granz Cathedral is here, too, but it's a little different.

[And more inconvenient to get to.]

And without Zelkova here, it's been spawning monsters on its own during the 13th hour.

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-16 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
The Cathedral too? [Ugh, what a headache.]

Let's just... keep moving and get to wherever we need to be, okay? I feel like if we stay out here any longer my body'll go numb.
virtualbirdwatching: (quickly taking it slowly)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-19 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[They arrive at the government building in less than a couple minutes.]

Here we are! They'll actually be expecting you, but don't think too much about that.

LOOP THROWING TIME!

[Haseo nods at this. He was likely not the first, given Atoli's reaction, to come here, and he was likely to not be the last, either. He walks over to her, and smiles.]

Thanks, Atoli. I'm not sure what would have happened if you hadn't found me.
virtualbirdwatching: (illusion of a maid)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-24 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
That's...

[Huh? This wasn't anything like...]

I'm sure you'd have managed fine...

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-24 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe so, but you still went out of your way to help. I appreciate that, really.

[Haseo seems to be acting really strangely, but he's treating you nicely for once.]

['What's gotten into Atoli? She's acting like she did before...']

Are you okay, Atoli? You seem to be acting kind of skittish for some reason.
virtualbirdwatching: (losing sight of what's so important)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-28 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine, really.

It's just... I'm sorry for running off like that... Just before I showed up here, I thought...

[She can't finish her thought this second.]

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-28 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
? Running off? From where, the cathedral? That was a while ago and I don't really hold it against you, Atoli.

[There's a miscommunication somewhere around here. Perhaps clarification is needed?]
virtualbirdwatching: (i truly realize the person i am)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-28 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora was right. She looks a lot less tense now.]

Well, I had been kind of wondering what happened. That doesn't look like a normal character design...

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-28 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Well she's relaxed now, but Haseo is starting to become confused]

Atoli, are you sure you're alright? I've been like this for the entire Cubia incident, don't you remember?

[okay, clearly something was not getting through here.]

Wait, wait, wait, you were picked up before me, right? When did that happen?
virtualbirdwatching: (illusion of a maid)

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-01-28 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
It was basically right after I ran off... I found that strange room, and then I was suddenly here.

This is the last one from me for tonight. I'll be back later

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-28 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
['Strange Room? She can't mean...']

Atoli... That happened over a month ago. [Because who's actually keeping track of time in those damn games] ... I'm starting to think that something else happened when we came here, because I don't remember you disappearing then. ['A lot of trouble that we went through was because of what happened that day.']
virtualbirdwatching: (i want to feel until the end of time)

I'm so sorry this is so late sob

[personal profile] virtualbirdwatching 2013-02-06 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
What... what was all that, anyway? I didn't really understand any of what was going on...

It's okay. I do it all the time

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-02-06 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
... You deserve to know the truth about what happened. ['You'll soon become involved in all of this.'] But there are some things about this place I still want to learn about. I'll contact you later once I have all of the facts straight, and why I can remember so much more.

Is that alright with you?
