The Search for the Newcomers, November 2012 Edition.

Who: Open to Everyone, but only Newly Accepted Characters can start threads.
Where: All around the city, anywhere from the 5th to the 20th.
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:]
They were getting much better at this, it was for certain.

The COMPS had been upgraded with a new program, HORUS which allowed them to spot abnormalities; if something or someone showed up suddenly in a city that was constantly scanned, then there was a high probability it was a newcomer. There was also a sort of left energy from the travel; the Wise Men called it leftover Magatama Residue, where the magical energy used to pull them to this world and keep the String intact was still faintly present around them. It wouldn't last more than a few minutes, however, and due to 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 radar function, they were nice enough to calculate for you the best transport and destination routes to take to get there.

Now it was just left up to chance and make sure you got there fast enough that you were still able to find them relatively easily. For the most part, the fact they stuck out would most certainly help...

[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.]
celebrity_commentator: (not getting it yet)

I see! You came from somewhere else too, then? Do you know how we got here?
second_destiny: (Serious)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.]

Sorry. I don't think anybody does. At least nobody I've talked to knows how we got here. People just got used to strangers showing up at some point and that's all there is to it.
celebrity_commentator: (emoticon goes here)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, I guess people really can get used to anything.

[She shrugs.]

But I'm being rude. My name is Rise Kujikawa. It's nice to meet you, Mr....?
second_destiny: (Official)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah! Asuno. Captain Asem Asuno.

[...Okay, the rank just slipped out there.]
celebrity_commentator: (dat ass)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
A captain? Wow, really? Are you a soldier?

[There's no way he was Japanese, so that was a lot more likely than 'policeman'.]
second_destiny: (Uh okay?)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Um, yeah. Yeah, I'm a soldier back home. I don't bring it up much here because it doesn't mean much here, but it just slipped out this time.
celebrity_commentator: (professional)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's nice to meet you then, Asem.

[She extends a hand, figuring he'd go for that over a salute if he's so awkward about it.]
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Asem will meet her hand with his own and give a firm shake.]

Yeah. Nice to meet you, too.

So, anything else you need help with?
celebrity_commentator: (see?)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Wellll, I think I got ahold of my friends now, but is there anywhere we're supposed to go if we just show up? I could use some directions.
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there's City Hall if you've got questions. There's also your apartment -- that'll be in either the Pisces District or the Libra District. Either way, it'll be a tall building with plenty of other people living in it.
celebrity_commentator: (perky)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, they even set up apartments...well, I guess my friends can give me directions to where they are, but could you please tell me how to get to City Hall?
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Sure thing. It's in the Leo District, which is at the center of the city. The easiest way to get there is by taking the tram.

[Insert some more detailed directions here.]
celebrity_commentator: (emoticon goes here)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2012-11-13 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! Hey, can I find you again if I need anything else?
second_destiny: (Confident)

[personal profile] second_destiny 2012-11-13 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! Just contact me over the COMP.
