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.]

This newcomer was somewhat hiding in plain sight, not far from where they'd arrived, if anyone was in the area to track their signal. He -- she? well, they were flat-chested, but that face...! -- was standing beside a building's doorway, huge black feathered wings folded around their shoulders, staring around with wide eyes and a partly-open mouth. They were dressed in soft purples and greens, a pair of sandals visible on their long, inhuman feet, and their wings were doing a good job of concealing most of their body from view.

Blue skin, golden-yellow eyes, long elf-like ears, birdish wings... what was this strange person?

Well, confused and a bit shocked, obviously, if that expression was any indication as they watched people walk past. They weren't trying to grab anyone's attention just yet, simply looking around as though they couldn't quite believe what they were seeing.

Anyone want to approach the newbie?



((So! feel free to mistake this guy for...
A) a demon of some kind
B) a lady
C) both of the above
D) neither

Actually, he'd arguably fit A, with SMT's use of the term... but shh. :3a Also, if anyone wants to backdate this a couple days I'm totally good with that.))
