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.]

Snapdragon. Forgive him, he's angry at me because we went to get him his shots and he and his siblings will likely have to go on a diet.

[Because she spoiled all four of those kittens rotten the last few months. Except this cat doesn't hiss at Palutena like she expected him to. Instead he just gives the goddess the most miserable look in the world.]

As to the city itself, it's name is Hinoto-Ri. If you have any questions, I would be happy to answer them or point you to someone who would.

My name is Arturia, by the way. Arturia Pendragon. Who would you be, Miss?

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-17 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
My name is Palutena. It's very nice to meet both of you.

[Baw, poor grumpy kitty.]

Hinoto- Ri....

Can you tell me anything about the current circumstances in the city? I know we were summoned here to aid them against some crisis, but I'm afraid the information I received was spotty at best.

[personal profile] maybe_a_king 2013-01-17 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Palutena? [That gets her attention.] You wouldn't happen to know an angel by the name of Pit, would you, Miss Palutena?

[she can practically hear the inevitable squees from him.]

Oh, but the city itself is doing well under the circumstances. The main time it's dangerous is during the Thirteenth Hour when all manner of beast roams the streets.
poorfueleconomy: (But what if that star is not to come?)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-17 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! He's the captain of my guard. Are you a friend of his?

[She's already contacted him telepathically, so she knew he was here, but she's glad he's making friends. She'd been worried when he told her he'd been there for months.]

Are these beasts causing significant damage? Does it seem like an organized assault?

[personal profile] maybe_a_king 2013-01-17 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[CAPTAIN OF THE GUARD?! Okay, yeah, she's sparred him so she can totally see it, but it's still surprising considering how childish he can be.

Then again, if what she's been told is true, he's a video game protagonist. Of course he'd inexplicably have a high rank in the military.]


Uh, yes. And.... sort of a friend to Miss Viridi as well.

They can cause damage, but there's nothing organized on their end. No, what we have to worry about is a gang who call themselves the 'Anoli'. From what I understand they're a terrorist organization who desire.... well, it's not clear precisely what their goals are.
poorfueleconomy: (hoping it will come today)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-18 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Viridi's friend too? that is an achievement.

[She sounds slightly amused.]

Anoli? What have they done so far?

[personal profile] maybe_a_king 2013-01-19 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, more of an acquaintance. Somehow she's managed to be civil towards me on occasion.

As to the Anoli, nothing I've witnessed first hand, but from what I understand they assassinated the previous mayor and have attacked the city over the years, causing a lot of damage and taking many people's lives. As I said, it's not clear what they wish to achieve.
poorfueleconomy: (But what if that star is not to come?)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, interesting. Where I come from, villainous types aren't usually so quiet about what they want.

Actually, it's kind of hard to get them to shut up.

[personal profile] maybe_a_king 2013-01-20 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
So I've heard from Pit and Miss Viridi. They mentioned your world runs on the logic of a video game? I think I can understand the villains being quite, um, enthusiastic if such is the case.
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-20 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Enthusiastic? Try irritating...

Anyway, there must be some way to find out more about these Anoli. I guess I'll just have to dig a bit.

[personal profile] maybe_a_king 2013-01-22 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm trying to be polite. I can only imagine it gets tiring after a while.

As does everyone else. Hopefully more information will be found soon, before the Anoli strike again.

Exhausting. Just when you've defeated one snarky villain, you find out that there's two more waiting in the wings.

Well, the Anoli are definitely topping my mental list of things to investigate...
