The Search for the Newcomers, Feburary 2013 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.

[FOR THOSE IN THE CITY:]
There was still so much cleanup to do. What a perfect time for your HORUS detection systems to start warning you that another group of people were forthcoming.

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...

[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.]

"A black limousine?" Asem didn't even pretend to think about it before replying, "No, I haven't. All of the road vehicles around here are totally different from stuff back home, like cars."

Asem paused for a moment, deciding to just dive into the meat of it. "Since, um...this isn't the world you know. You're in a totally different world altogether now. It sounds weird, but it's true."
testsubject031: (let's do this!)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-08 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"A totally different world...am I in the TV World again?!" Now she has her game face on. She starts yelling out loud, as if to communicate with someone from far away.

"So ya want to go another round?! Let's do it! I'm tired of you and your hacking! FIGHT ME! RIGHT NOW!"
second_destiny: (Nervous)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-08 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"WHOA!" Asem leaped backwards out of surprise. Whatever he had been expecting of her, it sure wasn't that.

"Wh-what are you doing? Who are you yelling at?! And..."

He trailed off. He couldn't bring himself to ask about this "TV World," for some reason.
testsubject031: (let's do this!)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-08 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"The guy's a chicken and he needs to come out and face me! I can see through his little game now! He's a dolt for tryin' the same thing twice inna row!"

Labrys decides to fly up in the air for a few moments and look around, but returns to the man's side once she's...well, cooled her jets.
second_destiny: (Shocked)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-08 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down! I don't know what you think is going on, but I know it isn't what you think!"

Okay, that sounded slightly absurd to Asem's ears after he said it. But he had to somehow...wait a second, did she just...

"Wh-what the hell was that?!"
testsubject031: (watch it pal)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-09 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
"What was what? Me flyin' around and stuff? Oh..." This isn't earning her cool points with humans, is it.
second_destiny: (Nervous)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-09 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Y-yeah...um..." Asem could hardly believe this. This made what, four now?

"You're an android, aren't you?"
testsubject031: (watch it pal)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-09 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oh crap. This isn't good. He might call the police or something. This won't look good to Mitsuru-san.

"G-gotta vamoose!" She steps backwards and starts to take off into the air again.
second_destiny: (WHOA WAIT)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-09 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
"Whoa, hey! Wait!" Asem started frantically waving his arms. "Hold up! I just wanna talk! You want to know what's going on, right?"
testsubject031: (what's goin' on here?)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-09 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Labrys stops midair, turning to face him with concern. "I don't wanna hurt people, I just wanna find my friends and get outta this place."
second_destiny: (Sad)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-09 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Asem frowned. "Sorry, but we don't know how to do that right now. Get out, I mean. For now, everyone's stuck here in this...alternate world."
testsubject031: (I am a weapon...)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-10 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Then I'm gonna look for my friends." It's clear they're the only ones who understand...right?
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-10 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Who are they? I may know them." After all, Asem had met many people during his stay in Hinoto-Ri.
testsubject031: (what's goin' on here?)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-11 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Labrys eases off the thrusters, and gently lands back in front of the man. "Well, I have a lotta friends, even though I haven't known'em very long..."

She holds her chin. "Well, I was last with my sister Aigis, and my handler, Mitsuru Kirijo. Akihiko Sanada is also one of my friends. And then there's Yu and his friends. Yosuke, Kanji, Yukiko..." She names the entirety of the Investigation Team.

"Any ah those ring a bell?"
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-11 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, then. It was a good thing he asked. Asem smiled. "Yep! I know both Mitsuru and Rise. Mitsuru lives in the apartments in the Libra Ward, though I...don't actually know where Rise lives."
testsubject031: (chibi)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-11 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
This is good news! She can at least reunite with Mitsuru and figure out what happened to Akihiko and Aigis. She wonders why both groups are here, though. The Investigation Team was left in Inaba; the Shadow Operatives were the only ones on the move.

"Libra Ward, huh? We should high-tail it over there!"
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-11 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wait, you want to go there now?" Asem wasn't sure it would be worth the time and the effort. He was on the job, after all, and if Mitsuru was out, then it was no good.
testsubject031: (watch it pal)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"She's probably worried sick after all the trouble I caused. I don't wanna get locked up again."

The sooner she finds Mitsuru, the less displeased she'll be, right? Even though she's been told they won't lock her up again, she might as well ensure her behavior is spotless.
second_destiny: (Nervous)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-13 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Sorry, but locked up?" Sure, the girl may be an android, but Asem had a hard time believing that Mitsuru would do something like that to her for misbehavior. She had seemed pretty reasonable to him, after all -- aside from cooking.

"And what trouble? You just got here."
testsubject031: (I am a weapon...)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-13 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's a painful memory, but maybe he won't have a mindset like that of the scientists at Ergo Research. They were nothing like her friends. They didn't seem to have a heart when it came to seeing Anti-Shadow weapons as anything more than tools.

"The scientists that made me locked me up because I didn't want to fight my sisters and ran away. But then something happened, and I was freed."
second_destiny: (Sad)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-13 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Asem lowered his gaze. "I'm sorry. People don't deserve that kind of treatment. At least you won't have to worry about that here. There's no laboratories like that here."
testsubject031: (best day ever)

[personal profile] testsubject031 2013-02-16 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to be identified as a person; this guy isn't so bad. She can tell he has a good heart.

"That's reassuring."
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2013-02-16 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Asem then looked back up at Labrys, energy renewed. "Tell you what. I can take you to the tram station, and you can catch that to the Libra Ward. You can find the apartment building easily when you're there, since it's the tallest building. Sound good?"
