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.]

[Natsuki wasn't sure what was going on. The few minutes before she was teleported here weren't exactly the best moments of her life, and the butterfly man and the now mysterious city didn't do much to placate her dread of where she might actually be. The group of people didn't look too hostile, and, distracted by the TV, might be able to give up a bit of information if she could ply them without breaking their attention.

Cautiously, she walked up to the back of the crowd and asked one of the people in the far back.]

So, what's going on?

[ A huge figure looks back down at her, and says quietly. ]

You've been called here, so it would seem.

[ Garviel always stands in the back since he's so tall that standing in the front would be mega-rude. ]

[Well, that was rather sudden. Natsuki suspiciously growls back, silently, at the hulking man.]

"How did you know that?"
greyerrant: (Squinty)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-18 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
It is logical enough. You have ragged clothes, look quite confused, and are carrying yourself in a rather wary manner. You have nothing to fear from me, be assured of that much. [ He looks back to the television the mortals were watching ]

I was just here to say what the Mayor had to say.
likethewolf: (Default)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-18 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[That makes enough sense. She did just get out of a pretty huge fight. Alive, somehow? Things still didn't add up.

But this wasn't a good time for thinking about that. She needed to find out more about what was going on and where she was.]

Mayor? So this is a real city? What does he have to say?
greyerrant: (Oathsworn Protector)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-18 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Hot-blooded rambling, mostly. His heart is the right place but he isn't what I'd call the most efficient administrator. He's a likeable figurehead though, and his suboordinates do a good enough job considering... well, everything. [ He shrugs his massive shoulders at the strange city of Hinoto-Ri. ]

likethewolf: (Not Happy)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-18 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[The girl response and thinks, looking again at the TV.]

What is everything?
greyerrant: (Default)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-18 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
We're beset by demons and strange otherworldly beings, in some kind of ill-defined fight for the soul of humanity.


But mostly there's a lot of foolishness and nonsense and juveniles falling in love.

[ He snorts derisively. ]
likethewolf: (Annoyed Insignificant)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[As man finishes the second part of his comment, Natsuki chuckles and says under her breath.]

It's like I haven't even left...
greyerrant: (Squinty)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-18 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't really understand that sort of thing anyway. [ He shrugs his massive shoulders once more. ]

I'm Cerberus, by the way.
likethewolf: (Not Happy)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-18 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Cerberus? This isn't hell, is it?
greyerrant: (The knight of shadows)

[personal profile] greyerrant 2013-01-18 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
No. I've seen hell, and this isn't it.
all_wound_up: (huh?)

[ohai Natsuki, have a robot girl]

The city is getting ready for a fighting tournament.
likethewolf: (Default)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-18 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh my god fighting tournaments why did she even bother dying.]

For what? Like a Karate tournament?
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-19 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's a Persona tournament. You heard about those when you came to the city, right?
likethewolf: (Serious)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-19 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Vaguely. It seemed like it came out of a dream.
all_wound_up: (serious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-19 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone who comes here has that dream. I know it's hard to believe, but it's all real.
likethewolf: (Default)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-19 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Was everyone else here dying when they came arrived?
all_wound_up: (distraught)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Dying? No, why?
likethewolf: (Wacky)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-19 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Err, it's not important. So what is the tournament? Persona Tournament? Is that the sponsor?
all_wound_up: (huh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
No... I think it's sponsored by the city. Personas are what everyone will be fighting with.
likethewolf: (Default)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-22 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Fighting with them? Is it a type of magic? Is it related to that man I saw when I came here?
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-22 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
The man in the butterfly mask, you mean?
likethewolf: (Serious)

[personal profile] likethewolf 2013-01-22 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. Do you know who that was?
all_wound_up: (huh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
No... I'm sorry. But I think everyone has a dream of him before they wake up here for the first time.
