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.]

You, too? Do you know why they brought us here...?

[From the tone of the young man's voice, it seems like he's been here for a while. Hopefully, he knows even a hint.

The familiar keyword though, "Persona," causes him to thump a little. Where did he hear that before? He kept feeling it roam around his head earlier, but now he's certain that he didn't just dream it.]


S-Sorry for all the questions, but! What's a "Persona?" What do you mean by "13th Hour" and demons?

I'm afraid I don't really know the answer to that. Sorry.

A Persona... it's the you inside of you. [Hmm] ... I guess that's kind of confusing, though. It's a power you have, basically. The 13th hour is an extra hour, after midnight. It's a very strange place to be, and you'll have to be careful. Though, with your Persona, you should be fine. There's plenty of others here that can help you get on your feet, too. Demons... are demons, though. Beings that harm humans.

[The others don't know why they were brought here, huh...? That's a sad thing to know. Still, none of them should give up. Now, he'll do what he can to contribute as well.]

A power... Is it magic? ["With your Persona, you should be fine." That sounds reassuring, but Aladdin hasn't figured out how to use it.] How do I...?

[The latest sentence about demons though, causes his heart to skip a beat.]

[ ...! ] They're real demons? They're not humans who fell or anything like that?
nyxterious: (Its brilliance)

Magic seems like a good way of putting it, yes. You summon it from inside of yourself. I know at home, my friends used Evokers, and that helped summoning.

They're real demons though, yes. Nothing like that.
