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.]

Comments

"....so you did go MIA purposely." She murmured softly mostly to herself. However, her next words might just surprise the redhead.

Instead of making much fuss over the fact he left or even trying to berate him for it, she instead turned her ire toward the company that Genesis had abandoned. "Yes, I imagine they wanted to try and pull you back into their grasp before they do any did anything too drastic which might rob them of such a weapon."

[rhapsodist]

It was something he was willing to let her know about, but he wasn't going to say why just yet. Not without figuring out a way to, perhaps, not hint at Sephiroth's own creation. They didn't need another Nibelheim.

"Being to kind and simply calling me missing will not bring me back," Genesis snorted softly, a bit of contempt in his voice.

[sixthsefira]

Sephiroth gave Genesis a quietly amused look. "True, I suspect they moved onto threats against you soon enough, which was just as ineffective hm?"

[rhapsodist]

"There is so much more to it than you could ever know," Genesis simply said.

[sixthsefira]

"I wish you would have told me that you were going to leave. I would have gone with you when you did." She replied softly.

[rhapsodist]

Genesis didn't answer for a few moments, not entirely sure how to answer quite yet.

But in the end, all he could say was, "I know."

With a soft pet to Ea's head, he decided now would be the time to leave. This place needed exploring, anyway.
