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 housing for new people, if you'd like to follow me.

[ And seems totally okay with talking to you, yup, Ginko. Sure does look that way. ]

[Considering the giant metal man for a moment...Ginko decides there's no harm following along.]

Yes, if you don't mind. I appreciate it.

[ The space marine is a fairly swift walker, despite his apparently lumbering pace, he's still 8 feet tall. ]

I'm Cerberus. And you are?
sorefeetman: (well I'll be)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-19 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ginko notices. And leaves his hands out of his pockets to swing by his sides while he takes slightly quicker steps than normal. Slightly.]

Ginko. You're one of the "new people" too, I take it? Or you were at one point?
greyerrant: (helmet)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-20 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Some time ago, yes. Now I'm just another resident. A protector in the dark places.

sorefeetman: (that suits me fine)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-21 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[[ OOC: btw Ginko is in Libra 10-10, not sure if Garviel would know that or what XD ]]

You seem like you'd be pretty good at that.

Have you ever seen the demons that attack on the "thirteenth hour" that I've been hearing about? I was told to stay out of certain districts if it ever got dark.
greyerrant: (There is only war)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-22 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Many times. I kill them all when i see them. Daemons destroyed the glorious world of my time, I will not let it happen to humanity here.
sorefeetman: (sittin on box)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-26 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
...I see. [Endless worlds, meeting here in the city...]

How tough are these things? It might become impossible for me to avoid them, at some point in the future; it'd help if I had some tips or at least a clue. [Staying in one place during the night...he couldn't see that continuing for very long.]
greyerrant: (Angry Garvi)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-26 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
No match for me. [ He pauses for a moment, and says. ]

But not all men are warriors. Are you a soldier, ser?
sorefeetman: (work of a mushi master)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-26 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at all.

If I had to describe it in layman's terms, I'm something of a traveling witch doctor.

What do you mean by that? [ He seems to tense slightly, but makes no move towards his weapons, yet. ]
sorefeetman: (discussion)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-28 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Ginko's quite glad of that.] Mm, no magic or anything. [Well....... Mostly.] I investigate cases that could potentially have a supernatural being causing it. Those beings are called "mushi".

I haven't seen a single one since I arrived here, come to think of it...
greyerrant: (Angry Garvi)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-28 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Loken softens slightly. An investigator. That's acceptable. ]
sorefeetman: (that's a doozy)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-28 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Ginko can't help but take the lack of enthusiasm as "Cerberus" being unimpressed.] Well. It's not really a job that requires much in the way of combat.

Maybe I really would be better off doing as everyone said, and staying indoors at night..
greyerrant: (Confused)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-28 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I can't tell you what to do there. Every man makes his own choice.


[ He walks onward, quiet for a little while. ]
sorefeetman: (looking aside)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-28 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Naturally.

[Ginko's comfortable with quiet, especially as he's half paying attention to their surroundings as they walk through this new city.]
