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.]

She'd already jerked her head up and begun looking around when she heard the excuse me. She had the misfortune, however, of seeing Sora and hearing her name at the exact same time. Her eyes flew wide, and her feet slipped under her from where she'd sat, half-turned. The resulting crash sent one puppy scurrying back with a yelp as she accidentally half-landed on one of his paws.

The noise caught Xion's attention, and she reached up with a slightly shaking hand to catch and soothe the tiny creature.

"Sorry..." she muttered to it, before turning to face Sora, eyes still wide. It was him. The clothes were different, and the voice was older, but she'd know that face anywhere. Knew it as clearly as she knew her name.

The thing was, she wasn't the only one who knew her name, clearly.

"Sora?" she asked, voice a little unsteady.

He was grinning from ear to ear, happy to see that it was for sure his little sister. This was great! It had been so weird being the only person he knew here, and now he didn't have to worry about that. Sora might have even run up to her and given her a hug, except she was surrounded by puppies and he was still holding the kitten.

But his grin fades when she falls back, and the expression on her face has him worried. Did she just hurt herself or something? It didn't look like too bad of a fall, but he hoped not. Maybe she was just...surprised? Yeah, that had to be it.

Though the kitten objects a little to the sudden movement, Sora sits down a bit closer to her, still careful to avoid disrupting the puppies.

"You okay, Xion?" he asked. "Did I scare you or something?"
