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.]

[Hm, there was something off about this dog, but Kazuya couldn't put his finger on it. It didn't feel demonic or angelic, so he decided to ignore it for now]

Hm, you got an owner, boy? Er, you are a boy right? You smell like one.

[Kazuya got the 'guy' smell and 'girl' smells all figured out by now. Er, he hoped, anyway. Maybe it was different for dogs?]
determinedhowl: (『...』 yes. it's a dog with a knife)

[personal profile] determinedhowl 2013-01-19 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that was a strange choice of wording at first. Smell? Koromaru wonders. Because he didn't know anything human-shaped could do that.]

*bark!* [...We don't mention the owner thing. It's part of why he is a bit "off" compared to normal dogs.]
belfire: (suspicious side squint)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-19 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Gonna guess that means yes to boy label...

[Hmm... Kazuya leaned to the side to squint at the collar - er well, 'collar' around the dog's neck, but didn't see a tag that said an address or an owner name.

...nah, come on. This dog couldn't be a new visitor...right?]


Did you just appear here? Like, in another world and then dreamed a weird butterfly man dream, and then came h- I'm talking to a dog.
determinedhowl: (『happy』 mudo? what mudo? c:)

[He lifts his paw once, if that helps. Maybe it would help if it is one paw lift for yes and one for no? It helped before...

And he lifts it again to say "yes."

> You get the feeling he may be a bit smarter than the average dog...]
belfire: (uh...)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-20 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Kazuya's gaze becomes a bit shrewd]

Do you understand me? Lift your paw twice for yes.
determinedhowl: (『curious』 hello there!)

[personal profile] determinedhowl 2013-01-20 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[One... Two paw lifts.]
belfire: (uh huh star)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-20 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I'll be damned.

[This is one smart dog! Hm, an ownerless, visitor dog...did that mean it had the potential to summon a Persona? He thought some form of sentience was necessary for that, at least. Maybe it was a magic dog?]

Can you summon a Persona?
determinedhowl: (『c:』 problem?)

[personal profile] determinedhowl 2013-01-24 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[...Lifting his paw twice again. Well, he didn't ask him to summon right now. Silly teenage puppy years.]
belfire: (uh...)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-24 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
...can your Persona talk?

[If so that would make things a billion times easier]
determinedhowl: (『sad』 fuuka's...cooking again?)

[personal profile] determinedhowl 2013-01-27 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[He lowers his head. The only people he knows Cerberus can talk to is to entities of Death or people who hold them, so... maybe? He doesn't know how to answer that one.]
belfire: (intense thinking)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-27 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
Guess not then...

[Maybe his Bel-Zaboul side could understand it? Or Belberith... it's uncertain what Bel demon presides over what]

Hm, what should I do with you then? You're a visitor, so you should get an ID card, but...you're a dog.

[There was one way to find out? Koromaru tilted his head. Seriously, his Persona is the guard dog of Hades. If any of them could speak the language of Death, then there was a chance-?

Okay, the "you're a dog" thing is getting kind of old. He can understand what you're saying. :|]
belfire: (nervous smile)

[personal profile] belfire 2013-01-27 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Bel-zaboul then. He is just a differently named Beezlebub, Death Flies and all.

But yeah alright]


Okay, okay, sorry. Let's go then and see if they have a... kennel or a room or something for you to sleep in.
