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.]

[Adult? Please, he's so obviously a man-child it's not even funny.]

My mom also taught me not to talk to strangers, but then look where we are. [Oh, Haseo, if only you knew] "Oh, please, kind stranger, grant this newb your wisdom!" [Deadpan harder, why don't you?]

unohana_hat: (^_^)

There, that wasn't hard!

[Sora's gonna pat you on the head, Haseo. Deadpanning runs right off his back.]

Welcome to Hinoto-Ri, where people from different worlds arrive with super powers!

[what]

I'm sorry, I thought I had something crazy in my ear, could you repeat that?

[Because what the hell does this mean for him if this is his new reality?]
unohana_hat: (Bang!)

[Sora just laughs.]

Yeah, weird right? But everyone new here can get these things called Persona. Here, lemme show you!

[Sora pauses, concentrating on the Persona he gained from the Velvet Room. Probably isn't familiar, since that barbell-shaped blue monster is from R:1. Sora may have rejected it from Aunty, but it was good enough for here.]

[Haseo says nothing until he sees the form of the Guardian appear behind Sora. For some odd reason, the sight of this creature was... familiar?]

Persona... [Okay, answers are needed now.] So how does one come into that sort of power?

[He feels like he'll need it soon]
unohana_hat: (Wouldn't you like to know)

[personal profile] unohana_hat 2013-01-16 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora let the Dawn Wanderer vanish again.]

Depends on if it's awakened or not, from what I hear. Otherwise you just summon it from your soul~

Or go to the Velvet Room and get another.

[Nods, he feels like back when he was trying to summon his Avatar.]

Summon it from my soul, huh? I take it a time of extreme duress would be needed for that. Is that the SOP here?
unohana_hat: (idk my bff tsukasa)

[personal profile] unohana_hat 2013-01-16 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora just shrugs, the perfect image of "IDK"]

Dunno how it is for others, I came here already awakened. You'll have to get your Soul Persona first before you can get another one at the Velvet Room. There's more junk to know about, but that should be enough to get you going~

[Haseo nods. This guy was alright, if a bit of an ass.]

Thanks for telling me. [Starts eying the crowds gathering at the tvs] Any idea what all the excitement is about, though?
unohana_hat: (Nah not really listening)

[personal profile] unohana_hat 2013-01-18 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that? There's a tournament for Persona battles.

[Sora's style was more one-on-one stuff out in the field. Not that he could do much now that PKing was off the table, but being in the middle of a sanctioned match seemed dull.]

I was thinking about taking a look.

[personal profile] not_that_scary 2013-01-19 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
A tournament? The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess. [Strange though it was, it wasn't all that different from Omega Server, really.] How often do they hold it?
