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.]

[The one thing Naminé needs to get used to is seeing more than one of any person. It's the vague thought that comes to mind as she stares at Riku as he passes by, astonished by both his entire existence when there's one Riku in the city already, and the fact that he's so young. She hasn't seen him that young since Castle Oblivion, and that feels like ages ago now.

Is this what it feels like to get older? She momentarily delights in that fact before focusing again. What to do? If he hasn't noticed her by now, he probably comes from a time before they met...and she doesn't want to alarm or overload him with future knowledge.

Well...there was nothing else she could do but call out to him, in the end.]


Riku.

[Okay, there's an unfamiliar voice. Raising an eyebrow, he turns to face Naminé. And, sure, she resembles Kairi a little bit, but given that he's used to a much younger Kairi, he tosses it up to coincidence for now.]

And who are you supposed to be?

[Because he doesn't remember giving his name out to any old stranger.]
charmedbymemories: (✖ hush all of your fears)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-01-17 07:45 am (UTC)(link)
[She's not surprised by how curt he is with her-- she did look at all of Sora's memories, after all-- but she has to take a moment to figure out how to respond.

Well, she could go about this the way she did with Roxas. With a few changes, of course.]


My name is Naminé. I'm a friend of Sora and Kairi's. I've heard a lot about you.
islandshore: (amused)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-01-18 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
A friend, huh?

[Pardon him if he's just a little bit skeptical, but hmm... She doesn't seem so bad. His posture relaxes, at any rate, and he lowers his arms to his sides.]

...I'd believe it. Sora's way too social for his own good, and I think Kairi'd get along with just about anybody.

[Because she's just that upbeat. It's one of hers-- and Sora's-- best traits, even if Sora's still a huge sap.]
charmedbymemories: (✖ i am the meaning behind the painting)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-01-18 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She laughs faintly.]

Oh yes, true on both counts. They are both very kind people. I don't know what I'd do if I hadn't met them.

Speaking of which, have you met them here yet? They're in the city with us.
islandshore: (o rly?)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-01-19 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I did catch Kairi earlier, but no sign of Sora yet.

[...Not that he's surprised.]

Knowing him, he's probably lost somewhere.
charmedbymemories: (✖ tell me your story)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-01-21 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Probably! You'll find him eventually though, he has a habit of popping up when you least expect it.

[She tilts her head at ahim.]

Have you gotten settled into the city yet?
islandshore: (amused)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-01-24 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
True. I just hope he doesn't get into trouble before I catch him.

[He snickers.]

And I can't say I have. Still trying to learn my way around, honestly.
charmedbymemories: (✖ this is the beautiful end)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-01-26 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods.]

It's a little jarring, isn't it? The first time you land somewhere unfamiliar.
islandshore: (Right?)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-02-03 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe a little, but I'd say it's more exciting than anything. This place makes the islands seem like a tiny little speck.
charmedbymemories: (✖ walk with me to the end of the road)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-02-03 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
Destiny Islands, right? I got to visit once. The islands are smaller, but I like them a lot more than most of the other places I've been to.
islandshore: (well that sucks)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-02-07 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a bad place in small doses, but after living there all my life, I just...

[He sighs.]

It was too routine. Nothing exciting ever happened.
charmedbymemories: (✖ i have affection now)

[personal profile] charmedbymemories 2013-02-08 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I have a feeling you'll get excitement in spades now.

Are the islands home for you, though?
islandshore: (yeah right)

[personal profile] islandshore 2013-02-11 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Home or not, that doesn't mean I should spend my whole life there.
