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.]

[Well, anything is possible considering this is the second time she's escaped the Dark Realm and not quite of her own volition (the last place was kind of Dark still, after all). Still, she hopes that by shaking her head this time, it will help her apprentice come to a similar conclusion.]

No. I think I would remember that name if I'd heard it before.

[She's sorry, and yet not. Mostly sorry because for some reason, those two names seem to bring pain. She sees them scars, okay. Yet she doesn't think any less of her.]

[princessofheart]

...That shouldn't be possible.

[Val would have never let them leave... and yet here she was? In a whole new world, outside of the realms of both her and the Consortium that once controlled her?

From the looks of Kairi's expression, she seems a little distressed by the situation, but not particularly in a bad way. More so... incredulous.]

[destinedwaters]

Huh? [Sob. She's so sorry, Kairi... but she has little to no idea what you're talking about in this case.] Kairi, are you alright?

[You have your predecessor worried, ok.]

[princessofheart]

...I don't know.

[Gonna be honest here; she's never been very good at lying to Aqua anyways.]

I think I will be, though.
