The Search for the Newcomers, December 2012 Edition.

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.]

I missed you so much...!

[Nano's voice is slightly muffled until she digs her face out of Yukko's shoulder. Trying to regain her composure, she takes a few deep breaths and pulls a small tissue out of her pocket to dry her eyes.]

But if I'm here, and you're here, who's taking care of Hakase and Sakamoto-san?
selematpagi: ([Confusion] ?)

[ Yukko nearly swallows her tongue. ]

W-Why are you asking me? I just saw you yesterday! I thought -

[ It wasn't Yukko's fault, honest! There was this guy with a mask and he told her to do things!

Yukko's face turns red as the reality of the situation sinks in. Yukko's confused enough as it is, she can't fathom how a kid like Hakase could get along. Apart from robots and ice cream for breakfast...
]

Hold on. Nano-chan, what are you doing here? And why - [ She looks at Nano's outfit. Her really really cute outfit. ] Why are you wearing that?
all_wound_up: (eh?)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2012-12-18 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yesterday? But I've been here for two months now...

[Well, at least the confusion of trying to put that one together has stopped Nano's hysterics short for the time being. She's having a hard time reconciling how she's able to be two places at once, though.]

...Oh! I was brought here suddenly, the same way you were. I had to get a job to support myself, so I'm working at this...

[Nano pauses to eye the establishment behind her.]

...maid cafe.

[ Yukko. Has no idea how to respond to that. The confusion has grown so large that it's broken through the floor. She gapes at Nano.

Then she slowly tilts her head, looking up at the building behind Nano.
]

... Oh.
selematpagi: ([Nervous] Can I see your notes?)

[ Yukko quickly smiles. ]

The dress is really cute on you though! The skirt's is awfully short though...
all_wound_up: (shy)

[personal profile] all_wound_up 2012-12-22 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
I thought so too...

[Nano blushes, awkwardly pulling at the bottom of the skirt in a vain attempt to get it to cover more. She does a lot of this at work, and oddly, it seems to attract even more customers.]

But I'm getting used to it.
selematpagi: ([Unsure] Are you okay?)

[personal profile] selematpagi 2012-12-22 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
It's awfully cold, huh?

[ Yukko gulps, feeling a bit of a chill coming on. As if she hadn't noticed the unbearable cold up until now, watching Nano pulling at her skirt. ]

I guess it must be the middle of winter, huh?
all_wound_up: (huh?)

That's right. It's actually almost Christmas here. The temperature's been strange this month, though. It keeps going up and down.
