The Search for the Newcomers, December 2012 Edition.

[stringmods]

Who: Open to Everyone, but only Newly Accepted Characters can start threads.
Where: All around the city! They appear where you want them to appear.
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.

Last month's initial testing of the HORUS system had worked really well. The device which allowed everyone to spot abnormalities; and now even more refined, they could hone in on newcomers at a much faster pace. The leftover energy from the travel (commonly called Magatama Residue) gave them a few minutes to find them before it would flicker out.

Combined with 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 own radar function, it was also nice enough to calculate for you the best transport and destination routes to take to get there. Speed was of the essence, after all.

[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

"I'm sorry," she said at length. "You—it sounds familiar, but everything up to a year ago..."

She gave a vague gesture, not sure how to put it. A while ago, Revan would have wanted to loudly denigrate the Council for strip-mining her skull, but now... well, what was the point?

"If you knew me, you know how Darth Revan was supposed to have died."

[echo_of_a_jedi]

"I heard. All of that."

She grimaced. No point in being angry at the Council on her part, either, but Revan probably didn't know they were all dead. She should probably find a time to break that news gently. "I also heard you recovered and turned right around to cut Malak down before he could finish off the Republic, though everyone had their own opinion on why."

[forcebonded]

"News travels fast." Revan sighed and raked a hand through her hair. "Recovered might be putting it strongly. But that's a pretty judicious summary of the last couple of months."

She folded her arms. "So. I don't know if we were friend or foe. You'll take my word that I'm not a Sith lord who's going to start razing the streets of..." She trailed off, peering around at the road beyond the alley. "...wherever this is. What planet is this?"

"I've got a lot of things to explain, and we probably shouldn't sit in a dirty alley to do it," Meetra said.

"I'll take your word that you're not going to do anything decisive if you'll accept a drink and a very, very long story about where we are and what's been happening back home."

Then, maybe, she could get to where Revan's been, but that could wait until she was a little more stable.
