The Search for the Newcomers, November 2012 Edition.

[stringmods]

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.]

((LOL als;dfjk UNFORTUNATELY HE DID NOT but that's OK they can make beautiful memories right here right now 8,) ))

"...Why not? I'm like. Trying to gauge the atmosphere you know!" It's totally validated. "So like you're super embarrassed about this?"

[deathboss]

[Yes considering first impressions are going so well.]

That just touches all of Eikichi's buttons and it takes half of him not to grab the guy by the collar and dare him to repeat again if he's embarrassed about this or not. At least the confusion melts away, leaving annoyance in its wake.

He takes another step forward, cracking his knuckles idly before he speaks again.

"I just hope you're new to the city and if so...what kind of world do you come from that asking strangers on the street about their dicks is perfectly normal?"

[genkigal]

"Sex Island." He says that so sarcastically it probably sounds fake. ...What a sad truth. "Should I have like asked you to drop 'em instead?"

...He's so not good with people. He's asking for a beating, isn't he.

[deathboss]

Oh no you did not.

You did.

Not.

Talk.

About.

Any notion regarding pulling his pants down. It just so happened Eikichi had a little past regarding that including a certain friend nicknaming him the Undie Boss. It drove him insanely mad. Yeap, Honk Kong was asking for a beating at this point and suddenly Eikichi does grab him from the collar/piece of clothing/whatever he had with a single hand.

"Let's make one thing real clear real fast," he growls, his voice low. "I don't know where you came from, but here? I won't tolerate a guy like you asking those questions." He let him go and continues to glare. "You got that?"

[genkigal]

Truth be told Hong Kong doesn't get grabbed often. Somehow. It's one of life's mysteries. Still while he is surprised he's not too surprised. Life comes with challenges right!! Just look at Jackie's!

Though this is kind of less justified and more him making his own problems... He feels a little mouthy right now though. Fixing his shirt fastidiously -he's fashion conscious what can he say- he doesn't bother looking up at Eikichi as he talks. "If you're going to make threats you like might as well just do something."

He's not going to be scared, you know?

"But noted. I'll like. Ask about your habits in bed next time. You're kind of touchy you know, yeah?"

LMAO oh my god

[deathboss]

"THAT'S IT!" He'd been the Boss of his own school for a reason. When push came to shove or when guys talked like that, he drew the line. "I ain't gonna tolerate your crap anymore! HADES!"

The only response Eikichi gave him after that was a yell in anger, a bluish flow of energy behind him, and then suddenly this lovely visage emerging from his body and flying towards the other, whacking the other on the side.

Eikichi might have forgotten, in his anger, that he had once caused a situation to happened when he had done the same to Lisa and Tatsuya (after Lisa had made fun of him and calling him Undie Boss), reawakening their own Personas.

wow he just got here and everyone already wants to kill him.... it's so beautiful LOL

[genkigal]

Hong Kong stumbles back at that. What the Hell-? His mind immediately knows it's a persona. Somehow... ...Ah. Actually he thinks he remembers someone talking about this in Zodion. -Not that it really helps now!

To his credit he doesn't run or piss himself though. That's... something! "This is how you're gonna fight?!"

Well. He's screwed. Definitely really screwed. "What are you, a maniac!?!" He's just a pervert. What's your excuse Eikichi!!!

Welcome to Hinoto-Ri

[deathboss]

His excuse is he's Eikichi. He didn't answer back and just walked back closer to him again, Hades hovering in the back of him, the Persona nearly three times the size of the already tall user.

"I ain't gonna to repeat myself. Promise me you won't be asking that to everyone else, and I'll step back."

[genkigal]

Ah... Well then. Shifting back a bit he settles into a martial arts pose reminiscent of Bruce Lee. Not that he doesn't love Jackie, but being from 1985 he's spent more time with the former than the latter. Fighting isn't really his style either way, but. Maybe he can find an opening to make a break for it... Or the police could show up. When Hell freezes over most likely, but he can have a weak hope.

"I can't." He makes sure to say the words clearly. He can't take an order from someone who isn't his boss. "Because I'm Hong Kong, you know?"

[deathboss]

Wouldn't put too much money on the police there, Honk Kong. Especially when they had bigger fish to fry. Thankfully the pose and the words left him back to confusion again. Eikichi was going through so many emotional switches he might as well just be spinning a wheel of emotions.

"Hong Kong is your nickname?"

[genkigal]

"...N-no. I am..." ...Why is this always so awkward to explain! "...How much do you like believe in spirits?"

Now this conversation is just becoming all sorts of confusing.
