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.]

"Correct! And you're another Death yourself, too." That's pretty clear to him as well. Meeting a form of Death other than himself was a new experience. He doesn't fidget or blink very much, standing there and looking back at her.

"I am." Her own knowledge of everyone hadn't seemed to extend beyond the inhabitants of her home universe, but there was no telling if that was a constant. "There's another here as well."

A small, disjointed giggle escapes him. "That makes... five of us, now then!" Him, Ryoji, and Izanami, her and this other Death she had just mentioned. Six, if you counted Hades and his kindred spirit.

"Five? We should have a get together of some sort." It had been so nice to actually be able to talk to Death about... death things.

"Yes," he said then half-smiled. "I would look forward to that." Yes, he'd be delighted to talk about all the death-related things with other Deaths for a pleasant change of pace.

"It's nice to be able to talk on the same level. I don't really know the city well enough to suggest anything though." That was the trouble with having just arrived today. It was amazing she'd met up with Death again as quickly as she did.

"It would be," he agreed. "Then once you do, perhaps an arrangement can be reached?" For his part Pharos was content to wait; patience was an old habit by now.

If she can manage Hogswatch dinner for the whole clan, she can manage this. "That sounds good. Who are the others, anyway?"

His soft-spoken voice replied; "Another part of me, Ryoji, and the former creation goddess Izanami are also present in Hinoto-Ri." He's assuming he doesn't need to mention himself, her or the other Death she seemed to know. Eh, if Hades wanted in, he'd say so later.
acapriciousthing: (Definitely Death)

Death smiles. "All different names. THat'll save a bit of confusion, at least." Just imagine if all five of them just went by 'Death'.

Because clearly it wasn't bad enough with two of them living at the same address.
