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.]

[you did it, daichi!!! you got it!!! gold star]

Alternate timelines, yes. Are you familiar with the concept, now?

[Especially since Saiduq is around, and it seemed that this place pulled people from a multitude of them.]
hetried: (Pffft ✰ stop calling me a pervert)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-05 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah!!!!!!!]

Uh, sort of. I know Kaito, Io and I remember following your plan to stop Polaris, and Yamato remembers us taking Ronaldo's plan. I guess you're kind of like that from one of those other possibilities...?
jumyouboshi: my world (COVER ✵ don't be afraid)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-05 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods, though he sort of makes a face when he hears "your plan to stop Polaris"...he never had such a plan in the first place! Yet all three of them followed "him" anyway...? That's...reassuring, in a strange way. If they managed to stop Polaris, then Alcor wouldn't have to die for the sake of serving the administrator. It was a comfort of sorts, to know that in at least one timeline, there is a better fate waiting for him, even if it's not the same "him". And he'll use that knowledge to console himself.

...But he's also going to have quite the talk with his other self, isn't he?]


Ha...correct. You are not as incapable as you believe yourself to be, Daichi Shijima.

[It's not exactly a mirthful "ha", but rather, a bit of a weary one, as he closes his eyes for a moment and gives him a small smile afterwards. And he does think that of Daichi, especially since he saw Daichi asking Fumi (or even Alcor himself, in some cases!) about the Akashic Records about resetting the world. He saw him drive a truck into Dubhe...and overcoming his doubts to save Hinako. He's got to be doing something right, if the Shining One chose his path all the time. There's a reason that he would want to explain his viewpoint to the human teenager, even if he didn't shine as brightly as Kaito/Hibiki/whatever they're calling him now.]

...Especially since the Shining One chose to follow your path, in the possibility I hail from.
hetried: (Frown ✰ oh i'm not very helpful huh)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-05 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
--Wha, my path?!

[There...there it was again. The other Saiduq, the one that was already here, had said the same thing, but. How could...]

The other Saiduq said the same thing, but-- I didn't have any ideas! Not like Ronaldo or Yamato. I just wanted everyone to stop fighting...
jumyouboshi: all by <user name="septentrione"> unless stated otherwise (OBSERVING ✵ deepening mystery)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-05 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
As did the Shining One, it seems.

[Well, it worked. Watcha gonna do, Daichi?]

...And they did.

[...With teeth gritted, more likely than not. Though thankfully from what he saw, Ronaldo and Yamato weren't...at each other's throats anymore. Less than before, at least.]
hetried: (Grin ✰ hey hey hey)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
....Seriously?

[He sounded pretty incredulous-- though, was that a hint of pride there?]

Well-- What happened?! What did we do? What happened to Ronaldo and Yamato?
jumyouboshi: i spent like 3 hours on this and it still looks kinda awful (CONVERSE  ✵ the voice calling out so)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-06 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He debates whether to tell Daichi of the failed timelines he went through, but decides against it. Daichi was sounding a bit proud of himself (good!), and Alcor wasn't too open about himself in the first place, much less with those repeated timeline incidents. And dying repeatedly. Focusing on what happened in the Triumphant route would be the best course of action, yes.]

You planned to restore the world to its former state, prior to the calamity.

...Ronaldo Kuriki and Yamato Hotsuin both agreed to cooperate with each other.

[Seriously, if this was anyone else speaking, anyone would think that last statement was a joke.

...But this is Alcor.]
hetried: (Grin ✰ ahahahahahaha)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-06 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously?! [Daichi you need to stop repeating yourself.]

His smile widened considerably. Restoring the state of the world...well he hadn't really thought about that himself as a full thought, but getting Ronaldo and Yamato to cooperate? And both of them not dead?! Well that was basically the best news ever!]


Haha, you've gotta be kidding me! You mean-- I actually-- My idea got them both to work together?! I mean, I don't really expect them to be friends or really get along but-- seriously?! It worked?!
jumyouboshi: (AMUSEMENT ✵ as you cry your eyes out)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-06 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, there's...one person dead, aside from all the failed timelines, but like hell he'll bring that up now.]

That's right. Having faith in each other and acting in concert is as strong a show of will as any display of force...and with all your human hands, I believe the future will be a bright one.

[Even if he's cautiously optimistic about some of it (namely, Polaris' continued administration), he saw them overcome their doubts in the Fate links...all level 4. (Except for him.) Overcoming doubts is not an easy task, and if they somehow kept their memories, they would surely become stronger, perhaps strong enough to change the world in all their own ways.

Strong enough to prove that the world will not become as saturated as it was before. Hopefully. Who knows...? Watch Break Record completely joss this.]
hetried: (Pride ✰ I CAN DRIVE)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-06 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[OK. He really couldn't contain himself any more. He seemed like he was about to burst with happiness right now, and allowed himself a small arm pump down in victory.]

Heheh--! Yeess--!! [He-- he did it--!]

So what happened?! I guess that means we managed to go fight Polaris even more effectively, right?! And we got it and the other Septentriones to leave us alone, right?
jumyouboshi: my world (COVER ✵ don't be afraid)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-06 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Correct. With your combined forces and wills, you should be able to face the administrator, and create the future you desire...

[If he's perceptive...he might notice that Alcor's not talking in the past tense, but...as if he's not quite sure what will happen next.]
hetried: (Neutral ✰ my face constantly looks stone)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-06 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Should"? [Well hey, when you made a practice talking to...St...ars....you kind of had to learn how they talked? Well at the least he can catch tenses.]

So we haven't actually fought Polaris yet?
jumyouboshi: i spent like 3 hours on this and it still looks kinda awful (CONVERSE  ✵ the voice calling out so)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-06 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well technically, they've fought Polaris so many times it wasn't even funny. However, he won't mention those details...at least, not yet. ]

...I'm afraid I was called here before I could say for certain whether you were triumphant or not. However, what I can say with certainty is that your audience with Polaris awaits.

[ And he knows you'll succeed. Because if you don't, Hibiki will be sooooo pissed off that after all his tries of recruiting everyone, it didn't even matter in the end anyway.]

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-09 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. He had no idea how a Saiduq from the past would have any idea how to know that specifically, but he did sort of remember the...Aka..shic...? Record? Stuff. Something about that meant he could probably see the future, at least that was Daichi's guess.

Either way, he's counting it as a victory!]
Haha, alright! Then once we get to see him, we just have to beat him and this whole thing gets solved! ["Just beat him," says the guy who kept worrying about fighting God.]

Resetting to back before the Invasion.. [And here, he looked a bit thoughtful.] Heh, I don't think I would've thought of that on my own. Still, I gotta say, it sounds pretty good to me. Uh-- not that I don't like the idea of you being the Administrator or whatever either. They're both good!
jumyouboshi: my world (COVER ✵ don't be afraid)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-10 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Not to mention Nicaea. While it wasn't quite "seeing the future", it was considered part of his repertoire.]

...!?

[The...administrator? Saiduq? The administrator? He hasn't been here for a very long time, and he sensed his own presence, but...he heard nothing about this. At least, not yet.]
hetried: (Agape ✰ oh my god what's wrong with the)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-10 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Let's just hope he could think of a better execution of all that Akashic power nonsense than showing gruesome death clips next time.]

...Hm? Saiduq? Everything OK? [Was he spacing out or something?]
jumyouboshi: (SURPRISED ✵ about the questions)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-11 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
...I was simply surprised. Such a thought had never occurred to me.

[So...in one possibility...he doesn't have this fate. In one possibility, it is he who takes the throne, breaks the cycle of creation and destruction.

...How unexpected. He would never have thought of that plan himself...tools aren't programmed to think of rebelling against their masters, after all.]
hetried: (Neutral ✰ well uhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-11 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Really? [That was kind of surprising. He crossed his arms, with a bit of a quizzical expression.]

The way Kaito told me about it, I thought he got the idea from you. You seemed to know what you were doing with it, so I just thought...
jumyouboshi: placeholder (DRINK ✵ you chose this world)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-12 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Alcor shook his head.]

No...I would not have been able to formulate such a plan of action by myself.

[So no, it wasn't his idea. Now can you all stop accusing him of brainwashing the Shining One? That was a one-time thing!

And there are a variety of reasons for that...]
hetried: (Uuuh ✰ what r u doin)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-15 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey come on he'd totally gotten past that part really.]

Oh. [H...uh...] Wait, was it Kaito's idea then? I guess that's not that weird, but still...

[Nah it's kind of weird.]
jumyouboshi: (INQUIRE ✵ will echo into someone's dream)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-15 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head, giving him a sort of amused look.]

...Is it so strange? He possesses the power and will to forge a path of his own, just as you all do.

[Moreso than other beings he can think of, actually. To live is to choose...]
hetried: (Pffft ✰ stop calling me a pervert)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-16 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Nah-- he's pretty smart, even though he doesn't act like it. [Said with a fond grin. What, he couldn't just give his best friend a normal compliment.]

I just don't know how he thought about it, seeing as we barely knew anything about Polaris a week before that started. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though.
jumyouboshi: my world (COVER ✵ don't be afraid)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-16 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[The sort-of compliment gets a bit of a raised eyebrow. Was this how humans complimented each other...? Perhaps he should try it...not that he doesn't give backhanded compliments anyway, unintentionally or not.]

His will is truly limitless.

[As if that answered all of Daichi's questions. It probably didn't.]
hetried: (Bash ✰ please don't trip over the demons)

[personal profile] hetried 2013-03-20 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoah there Alcor. You had to get to a special degree of best-bro-itude before that stuff could fly.]

Something like that. [yeah that answered about zero questions.] Still, I'm sure talking to you probably helped and all. Er... somehow. You don't have to sell yourself short!

[hypocrite]
jumyouboshi: i spent like 3 hours on this and it still looks kinda awful (CONVERSE  ✵ the voice calling out so)

[personal profile] jumyouboshi 2013-03-20 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[They're both hypocrites in their own ways. Hideous.]

I could say same of you, Daichi Shijima.

[...What? It's not like this is the first time he's pointed out when humans were being contradictory in their behavior. Vs. Nagoya, for example...

And no, he's not being avoidant at all. Totally not. Nope.]
