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.]

Otoha blinked in vague confusion, and then comprehension dawned on him. He tore off the gauze now that his arm was wrapped, tucked it in, and then tossed the roll to Masamune.

"It won't stop the pain, but it'll hold you together for a while."

He caught the gauze alright, and glanced down at the cut. It wasn't as bad as he was fearing, but good god did it sting now that the adrenaline had worn off.

Masamune let out a sigh as he wrapped the wound, and once he was done, flexed his leg experimentally.

"It'll do for now."

He then tossed the gauze back to Otoha, running a hand through his hair. "There anything else you wanna know?"

[bakegarasu]

"Should do for now. I can hang around places and pick up more info."

Then again his methods of information gathering tended to lean towards intimidating people... whatever worked.

"Sounds about right. Anyway, I guess just give me a call when you get something set up?" Masamune shrugged, already starting to turn and get ready to leave.
