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.]

I lied. 3/3

[Just this face, Neku.]
poweryetunknown: (i can finally smile)

[Yeah, okay, he can't keep a straight face at that. He starts laughing.]

You do know your reaction to that is hilarious, right?

[He's just messing with you, Shiki. Geez.]

[jadhakjdgdgjk DAMMIT PARTNER! Her face is probably just as red as her hair now. >w>]

NE-NEKUUUUUUUUU!

[Still shaking his wrist like a madwoman.]

Ugh! Let's just go to the train station, okay??

[She stops shaking him, absently taking his wrist into one hand and dragging him to where she thinks the train station is.

Which is probably in the opposite direction.]

[Neku digs his feet in a little and tugs the other way.]

Wrong way, stalker.

[At least he's not saying it like an insult anymore? It's a term of affection, shh.]

1//2

[personal profile] spaztastic 2012-11-28 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
... Then we're going the other way!

[HMPH! Turning on her heel and walking in the other direction now.]

[She calms down after a while, heaving a sigh. Her hand moves so that she can cup Neku's palm in to hers, giving it a gentle squeeze. It was as if she was making sure he was actually something she could touch, making sure that was really there walking beside her.]

I'm... I'm glad you're okay, Neku.
poweryetunknown: (at peace)

[personal profile] poweryetunknown 2012-11-28 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[It's. Really awkward holding hands with someone, especially a girl, but he holds back the snark for a moment and squeezes her hand back.]

... Yeah. I'm glad you're okay, too. Things are calmer here than in the Game though. It'll be okay.
spaztastic: (035 ☆ When misery comes crawling?)

[personal profile] spaztastic 2012-12-11 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
... It will? [Shiki looks up at Neku for a moment before lowering her head again, heaving another sigh.] But Neku...
poweryetunknown: (huh?)

[personal profile] poweryetunknown 2012-12-12 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He pulls his hand away and looks at her curiously.]

But what?
spaztastic: (023 ☆)

[personal profile] spaztastic 2012-12-13 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
But... we're fighting all over again. To save a city?

I thought... that's all over now.
poweryetunknown: (huh?)

[personal profile] poweryetunknown 2012-12-13 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
... Look, I know it's shitty. But we did it before. Who says we can't do it again?
spaztastic: (058)

[personal profile] spaztastic 2012-12-26 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... Yeah, you're right. And we were probably chosen for a reason too.
