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.]
misogynistic: (GET OUT.)

[Damn, Hinoto-Ri is confusing.

It was a city, Adachi could tell that much, but for the life of him, he couldn't remember anything passed crossing the train tracks. Talk about whiplash. And being in a profession that basically thrived on being insanely curious, he was at a loss. Well, there was this one thing, but--

There was no fog. That was the first sign of trouble. The next was that, well... He was freezing. Utterly freezing. It hadn't been snowing a few moments ago, and he sure hadn't been clutching himself like he was now.

But, Persona, Persona... He'd watched those kids enough on the tv. Even if he hadn't, they'd blabbed on about it the day Nanako was kidnapped... Still, what the hell did that have to do with that guy with the--

Ah, damn, it was impossible for him to think in all this damn cold.

Rely on simple detective tactics, Adachi. Find a big building, and there are surely people inside who know what's going on. There was this one building, maybe, but... Hold on a minute.
]

...A hospital?

[He was in the Leo district, and the biggest building around was a hospital. How...lucky? Eh, he'd take it! Besides, maybe they had some blankets for people like him? Shuddering, Adachi ran to the hospital, teeth chattering, fingers shaking, and legs trembling.]
pistolsakimbo: (...o-oh really?)

[personal profile] pistolsakimbo 2013-02-08 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Just Adachi's luck that someone was coming out of the hospital as he was coming in. The girl paused as he passed her -- you know those type that can wear shorts in the middle of winter and not be cold? Yes, that would be the tiny sixteen year old with a gun at each hip staring up at the detective.]

Hey, you okay?
misogynistic: (Could you let go of me ma'am?)

damn it 1/4

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Adachi almost didn't hear her. The need to go somewhere warm completely swamped him. However, when he did...]

...What?
misogynistic: (Fuck it I'll steal from his garden anywa)

2/uh

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[What's with this kid?

A quick glance: it was a kid wearing shorts. Right... But, the real interesting thing here were the...guns? Yep, Adachi stared for five whole seconds as it processed.
]

misogynistic: (Oh yeah I'm so damn jealous)

I LIED

misogynistic: (Bitch I will fuck you up.)

[the fuck]
misogynistic: (Can't quite recall...)

damn it

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
...Y-Yeah?

[Adachi there is a little girl with pistols talking to you and that's all you have to say]
Edited (word order) 2013-02-08 06:03 (UTC)
misogynistic: (Oh shit he's not growing cabbages.)

I can't OKAY DONE

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT THE HELL, KID.]

I mean-- Actually, no? It's freezing out here, and, well... If you don't mind, can we talk inside instead?
pistolsakimbo: (Sarcasm is the best medicine.)

[personal profile] pistolsakimbo 2013-02-08 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Rune stared a bit blankly; what was wrong with this guy? It was just a little chilly out... oh, whatever. She gave a nod, grabbing the door and letting the princess go first.]

[...okay, she'd been hanging around Ferrus and the Tin Man too long if she was thinking stuff like that. She smothered a giggle that threatened to bubble up, following after the strange guy.]


What were you doing without a coat if you thought it was cold?

[Oh wait a sec...]

Oooooooohhhh... you must have just showed up!
misogynistic: (They're gonna pawn this off on me later.)

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[You try going from a pretty nice day (fog regardless) to suddenly being in the middle of it snowing. Try it. And Adachi just stared at the fact that there was a kid holding the door open for him like he was a lady, like he was way, way younger. This kid really wasn't earning any brownie points with him.

But, fine, he went inside anyway. Forget his pride for a moment, he was freezing.
]

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it!

[Fuck how does he bring up the guns there are so many damn questions]

Nobody in their right mind would be out there, much less... [...Shit.] No offense, of course!

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-08 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Today was a miracle. Yukiko felt like she was on Cloud Nine after everything that's happened...almost like nothing could ruin this moment as she started heading towards the exit.

Except that.

Why was Adachi here all of a sudden?! Philemon why?!

Yukiko didn't want to deal with him so she hid herself behind a corner, waiting for him to get out.]
misogynistic: (Dat left eye)

I have a feeling of deja vu

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course on the day Yu came out of his coma was the day Adachi came to Hinoto-Ri. Of course. Should this really be any sort of surprise, though?

Thing is, he saw Yukiko. He slowly crept behind the corner... Damn it, this was too weird! And why was she hiding, anyway? Could she be even more suspicious right now?

He stuck his head out to stare at her.
]

Miss Amagi?

[He can't decide whether to be surprised at her being here or hiding like that, so he just stares for a moment, trying to confirm if it's actually her.]

Why are you hiding behind there?
gigglesnortpriestess: (attempting to cook)

you should have.

[personal profile] gigglesnortpriestess 2013-02-08 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Adachi, be very lucky that she had nothing hot in her hands because she would've thrown it on him. Pure accident of course. Why is he here?! She had to make up an excuse for hiding like this...]

Adachi-san! I didn't see you standing there! I thought there was more fangirls for Junes Invasion coming through there!
misogynistic: (Aww aren't you special!)

I love you Lita please don't hurt me

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's her. It's really Yukiko. Right, so how many of the kids were here?]

...Junes invasion? But how can there be a Junes...?

[Come on, don't bullshit him.]

Come on, you don't have to lie like that! I mean, I just got here, but...I'm pretty sure it's impossible for this place to have a Junes...

[Inside the hospital, in the visitor's lounge area, there is an innocent little girl fiddling with the drink vending machine. She inserts some coins, presses a button, and after hearing a clunk she bends down and reaches through the flap to rummage around for her prize.]

Oh! It gave two... [The music notes above her head are practically tangible right now.]
misogynistic: (pic#5664783)

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, this isn't surreal at all.]

Nanako-chan?

[Yeah, that was definitely her! But how was she out of her hospital bed? She couldn't even see Yu off, so how was she... And she was so animated, too!

Yeah, he's just gonna...walk up to be sure he's not dreaming or something.
]

Wow, you look...really well? [That's a good thing! Just...what the hell.]
greaterdays: (genuine teddie fur?!)

[personal profile] greaterdays 2013-02-08 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Nanako freezes, both cans of orange soda clutched tightly to her chest. If this were an anime, her pigtails would be sticking straight out of the sides of her head from shock. Of all the people she'd expect to come walking up in the middle of the hospital...

...Well, he wasn't very high on the list.]


Adachi-san?
misogynistic: (Could you let go of me ma'am?)

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-08 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Adachi still isn't over how he's meeting Nanako in a hospital. Give him a second. Man, this place is really messing with him really early.]

Oh, wow, sorry, I really didn't expect... [He pauses, repeatedly going over the seven year old.] And you can even walk?

[Still. Can't. Wrap. His. Head.]

poorlittleblueburdie: Avitus, with his eyes closed (eyes closed)

[personal profile] poorlittleblueburdie 2013-02-09 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
*feel free to think that this is a (cosplaying, clearly!) teenage girl heading back into the hospital here, with their arms full of paper flowers, plus another cloth shopping bag full of them, hanging from a wrist. Those big black-feathered wings on them must've been either really expensive, or incredibly time-consuming, and that odd gothy makeup style... well, at least it doesn't look bad?*

*but they haven't noticed Adachi just yet. They're trying to focus on not dropping that huge armful of flowers, or spilling the bag of them, while they pull the doors open.*
misogynistic: (Standard handjob joke here.)

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-09 12:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, Adachi still needs to gather more information. He's also had to talk to some weird people back in the city for information every now and then, so what the hell? A few cosplay conventions every now and then, big deal. But you generally don't run into many people cosplaying in a hospital. ...Okay, he's interested.

Plus, she needed help! That's the perfect excuse.
]

Hey, hold on, I can help! [Minding the wings, Adachi moved to open the door.]

I...uh. [And now that he's close, he wants to poke the girl's wings, but is there a way to even...] Hey, if you need help with more doors, I've actually got some... [Don't stare, Adachi, sheesh!] ...questions.
poorlittleblueburdie: Avitus, smiling subtly (lil smile)

[personal profile] poorlittleblueburdie 2013-02-09 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... certainly. *quiet, peeking up at him, stepping back so he has room to open the door for this... uh... girl. Right.*

*...Wait, did those wings just move a little, to fold up tighter against the back of that coat... cloak... thing? What was that, anyway, all puffy and quilted-looking, with a clasp in front and a hood? Besides another likely-expensive cosplay thing? Jeez, even their boots had to be specialty items; they were split-toed, and really long... and dyed to match the cloak, but were they real leather of some sort?*

And thank you. *giving him a soft smile, going to head in once he's opened the door... and passes close enough, Adachi could surely "accidentally" brush a wing, if he wants. They're real feathers, soft and jet black... and far too big to be from any bird that could come to mind. Ostrich feathers, maybe, but those were like giant down things, hardly anything with the smooth surface of more common body feathers, or flight feathers. Which these wings had. Uh....*

*Okay, so. Reasonable explanation -- if the wings were just that good, maybe their movement was a mechanical thing, and they'd moved their shoulders, which did it? That tech exists and is relatively simple, at least.*

((...Burdie has no idea what this could lead to. So naive... this is surely going to be a train wreck to some degree, for at least one of them, IDEK which yet. And I love those. Should I be apologizing for this?))

[personal profile] viditlibertas 2013-02-09 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
[At some point, Adachi might have felt the damndest thing- some sort of thick, warm jacket being gently set on his shoulders. There hadn't been any footsteps of someone coming up from behind him, however, and there wasn't any other out of place sound or sense that someone was around.

Until an odd, floating albino made a semi-circle, coming out from behind him to face the detective. His face was serene enough, but his eyes were oddly squinty, and you know. The hovering thing.]


This is an acceptable token of greeting, correct?
misogynistic: in the room (Tried to marry me and everyone)

okay wow you are the cutest npc

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-09 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
[When had he gotten a ja... Adachi stopped as he realized, hands automatically moving to keep it from sliding off. Had he been so disoriented that he somehow blocked out other people? It had been bound to happen before, but... He slid his hands inside the jacket's sleeves, giving an immediate sigh. Then, he saw the...]

Wha...

[Whoa, way to make a great impression yet scare the guy at the same time! Give him a minute, he's sputtering.]

Y-Yeah? [Is he a kid? ...Wait, why does that even matter?] I mean... [Oh, he'd take it.] Actually, yeah! Just, people usually... [...don't float.] ...walk up giving jackets. At least, not in my case! [One of the nicest people to him so far is this guy. Huh.]
Edited (wrong icon!) 2013-02-09 12:35 (UTC)
viditlibertas: (☆ Hmhmhmmmm)

[personal profile] viditlibertas 2013-02-10 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
So it was the delivery that was off, and not the act itself. I will keep this noted for the future.

[Whatever the case, the jacket seemed on the expensive side- congrats, Adachi, you got the random lottery swag! However, the detective's sputtered confusion didn't even seem to register with floaty albino guy at all.]

There are many new arrivals, and it is particularly chilly out. I would not want people to get sick. It seems very unpleasant, from what I have observed.
misogynistic: (Could you let go of me ma'am?)

[personal profile] misogynistic 2013-02-10 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Yay, Adachi owns his first piece of swag! Still, he doesn't know what to make of this guy...]

Yeah, it's pretty obvious a freezing person would love a coat. [Oh, wow, it's so warm!] Did you not know that?

[How can he not know?] ...Have you never gotten sick? [No, getting sick being horrible is common knowledge...]
