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.]

Oh, I was just wondering if there was anything the government wasn't telling us. There may be another reason they want us to stay away...
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-21 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think so...? Like what?
poorfueleconomy: (What will fill this emptiness)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs.]

It could be anything from evidence that implicates them in some sort of wrongdoing to information that might upset the current power balance in the city. Or any number of other things...

But at this point we can't do much more than speculate.
all_wound_up: (disappointed)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-23 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
But even if that's what's going on, breaking the law is still bad, isn't it?
poorfueleconomy: (hoping it will come today)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-27 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
True. For now it's best to try to work within the system. Figure things out that way.

[Nano smiles, nodding.]

Right. That's what I think, too.
poorfueleconomy: (Waiting on a shooting star)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-30 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
That's very wise of you. I don't think I got your name..?
all_wound_up: (surprised)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-30 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! It's Nano. Nano Shinonome.

[She folds her hands in front of her and bows politely.]
poorfueleconomy: (hoping it will come today)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-01-30 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm Palutena. It's very nice to meet you, Nano. And I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-01-31 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's the least I can do. I remember how confusing it was on my first day.
poorfueleconomy: (I know my heart should guide me but)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-01 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I guess everyone is the same. They should think about writing a strategy guide for future arrivals.
all_wound_up: (curious)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-01 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
A strategy guide? What's that?
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-03 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Don't play many video games?

[She doesn't wait for an answer though.]

A strategy guide is a book that helps lazy or unskilled players get through a difficult game faster.
all_wound_up: (eh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-03 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
But will something like that really work here? This isn't a game, after all.
poorfueleconomy: (Can there be a guiding light)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-04 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
You mean something that would tell us our enemies' weaknesses, where to obtain the best weapons to fight them, and provide a map to any and all dungeons?

I think that would be very useful.
all_wound_up: (huh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-04 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh. When you put it that way, yes, that would be very useful.
poorfueleconomy: (But what if that star is not to come?)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-05 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
It would, but we have to make do with what we have.

Although I wonder if they shouldn't write a pamphlet or something for new arrivals...
all_wound_up: (Default)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-05 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds like a good idea. You should write one!
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-06 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
You know what? I might. That way I'll know it was done right.
all_wound_up: (ehehehe)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-06 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck! I'm sure it will be very helpful.
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-07 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. But before I go writing any FAQs, I'd better get my bearings.

all_wound_up: (Default)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2013-02-07 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I can show you around if you'd like.
poorfueleconomy: (we all need to believe there is hope)

[personal profile] poorfueleconomy 2013-02-08 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I would like that, thank you.

[Tour of the city then?]

[Indeed! Which we can conveniently handwave if you prefer. Nano will make sure to take her by City Hall to get all her stuff, as well as to the apartments. And wherever else Palutena wants to go - arcade, library, museums, and probably also past Ichiban Market because why not advertise her favorite shopping spot a little.]
