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.]

If it wasn't for the fact she's heard Viridi's brand of telepathy she would be as startled by the sudden voice in her head as one normally would be.

But it was still a voice in her head and while she had seen many demons around that was still a being who looked very much like the grim reaper walking around. She couldn't help but be started.

"Uh, no, sir. It isn't." What even was 'the disc'? "Has no one assisted you just yet?" Because with a line like that what else could he be but a newcomer?

Death looks over at her.

WAS SOMEONE SUPPOSED TO?

[maybe_a_king]

"Not 'supposed to' but people here tend to look out for newcomers and explain the situation. It can be disorienting at times."

Understatement of the century.

[likescats]

YES, I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY.

This place looks even more confusing then Mayfield.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE SITUATION THEN?

Sorry for the late tag. Christmas got crazy on me.

"A bit of it. From what I understand we were brought here to help this world recover. Unfortunately, opinions are divided on how we're supposed to do it. Even the local government hasn't much of an idea as to how we're meant to accomplish this task. To aid us, many have been given the power of entities called Persona."

She pauses for a second to think over what she just said.

"Does that make any sense at all so far, sir?"

Same here actually XD

[likescats]

....SOMEWHAT.

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT OPINIONS ON WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO HERE?
