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.]

[Hmm, interesting development.] So the resources here really are that slim? That's troublesome. ...Our clients might overlap, but if you could give me a hand, maybe we could send customers to each other? [Nothing wrong with a little half-competitive, half-mutually-beneficial business relationship.]

Mm, it's...specialized. [Glancing at the street for a moment, at the crowds, at the sky..] Time will tell how useful my skills will be, in this place.

Goodness, you're hardly in the capitalist spirit, are you? Competition and all that. Still, I suppose if you have no inclination to meddle in my business, I suppose I can assist you. For a while, anyway. I so rarely get to discuss such things with someone who knows what they're doing anyway.

The natural resources can be somewhat slim. Most of what I have I've been growing myself, or trying to scrounge out of the park and the mountain in this place. Although... there have been some interesting developments.

I appreciate it. [And he'll stick to his word!] I'm interested to learn what types of ingredients you use and how, I'm glad we ran into each other.

...Developments?

Only if you realize it goes both ways! Oh ho ho ho ho!

Ah, yes. It seems structures and creatures from other worlds have begun manifesting during a specific period in time referred to as the "Thirteenth Hour." It's a strange time hiccup that happens sometime around midnight. Quite dangerous, to be honest. But a lot of unusual and interesting things show up around then that are QUITE useful for potions and the like.
sorefeetman: (that's interesting)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-21 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
...Structures, and creatures? Do they disappear again at the end of the hour, then?
misery_hates_company: (Naturally talented)

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2013-01-21 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
So it seems, yes. Along with all the other changes. It's a very curious phenomenon, wouldn't you say?
sorefeetman: (discussion)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hn... I'll definitely have to check it out for myself. [He'll deal with the demons...somehow...maybe]

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2013-01-21 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you will. We all do sooner or later. It helps awaken the... Persona faster. I'm sure you've been informed about that little process, hmm?

sorefeetman: (checking it out)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-21 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
They said something about it... If you have specifics on how one goes about it, I'd definitely like to hear them.
misery_hates_company: (You don't say!)

[personal profile] misery_hates_company 2013-01-21 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, it's quite simply really. You just need a really nice, sharp shock to the system. Nearly dying to demons is a pretty solid method, we've found! Ho ho ho.
sorefeetman: (don't ask me)

[personal profile] sorefeetman 2013-01-21 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
...That's troublesome, but I think I was expecting something like that anyway.

I'll keep that in mind. [What guarantee is there that his persona will be able to save him, though..? HE'LL JUST HAVE TO EXPERIMENT]
