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.]

That distance? It's gonna be closed once Zelda addresses Momotaros and he notices her. He's obviously irritated and confrontational in his motions. Clenched fists and raised shoulders likely aren't helping his case, either. He huffs, drawing his hands nearer to his chest, then makes a sweeping, open-handed motion with his right hand, almost like throwing something. "Specific?! Alright, fine - where the hell am I?!"

... Nnnnnope. The instant he steps close, she makes a quick (though discreet) step back, keeping herself away from his swinging arms. Her own muscles are tense, ready to bolt should the need arise, but she stands her ground for now.

"The city is called Hinoto-ri. I cannot say I know exactly how we were brought here, but a man by the name of Philemon is responsible as far as anyone knows."

Now please calm down a little bit, Mr. Demon Sir.
alwaysataclimax: (I've got good advice sometimes.)

"Never heard of it," Momo comes back right quick, jerking his head around to look a bit more of the area around them, but he focuses right in on Zelda once she drops the name. He leans in, and starts lightly punching a fist into an open palm slowly. "That's the jerk's name, huh? Well, where the hell is he? I owe him an ass-kickin'! Nobody kidnaps Momotaros and gets away with it!"

He's calmed. Just the smallest bit, though the situation does look a bit unfortunate for someone out of earshot...
nofairy: (fight.)

Indeed it does. And Link comes charging up, glaring at the demon-man. He doesn't say anything, but he has his hand on his sword.

You look suspicious and you are near the princess and he will protect her, dammit.
sageprincess: (Ancient legends)

Zelda -> Momo -> Link?

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-01-22 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Well, since stepping back to keep her personal bubble isn't going to work, she settles with leaning back slightly as Momotaros closes in. At least his anger has a direction, now...

"Believe me, if anyone knew that, I would have found him weeks ago and--" ... But then she's cut off because suddenly Hero of Time?

"Link?"
alwaysataclimax: (Whaddaya want?)

Sounds good to me!

"Gyeeeaaaaaugh," Momo groans, rolling his head about on his neck as he leans back a bit. More frustration with the situation, and now there's some guy up in his business. There's a glance-over of Link, then Momo straightens up, not daunted by the glare. "You got a problem, brat? I'm tryin' to have a conversation here!"
nofairy: (serious.)

[personal profile] nofairy 2013-01-23 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Link doesn't move, and instead stares right back at Momotaros. "I'm just making sure the princess is safe."

... And he takes a step towards her, to reinforce this fact.
sageprincess: (Dutiful atonement)

[personal profile] sageprincess 2013-01-23 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh dear. It's obvious the stranger is irritated, and the last thing she wants is for him to perceive the Hylians as a threat, or give him a reason to release his ire.

"Link, I am all right." This isn't necessary, she implies with a soft but firm voice.
alwaysataclimax: (WHAT.)

[personal profile] alwaysataclimax 2013-01-25 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
"...princess?" Momo peers at Zelda as he says this, then looks over at Link. Great, the last thing he wants is another weirdo like Sieg on top of all this strangeness. However his shoulders raise a little as he leans ever-so-slightly toward Link. "I ain't threatening her, if that's what you're tryin' to say, kid!"
nofairy: (serious.)

Link doesn't really react much, but he does sheathe his sword. If Zelda says she's okay, then he trusts her.

... He's still going to stand here, though. "... Okay."
sageprincess: (Sun's Song)

As Link stands down, the princess exhales, releasing the breath she had been holding. All right, one confrontation avoided - let's try to nip any others in the bud.

She steps out of Link's shadow, a somewhat forced smile upon her face as she tries to smooth things over. "My apologies, I have not introduced myself. I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. And this is Link." She gestures towards the Hero. "We have... quite a bit of history together."

Which she hopes is enough to explain Link's protectiveness.

Momo's hackles are still up, and he looks between the two as Zelda introduces herself and Link. His head moves in a reversed nod toward them. "Momotaros," he answers, then adds to it: "Just Momotaros."
