New Arrivals

☯

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.
Music: This

[FOR THOSE IN THE CITY:]
It was Grand Prix frenzy by this time. The streets were filled with people watching every available television screen, crowds in the bigger areas of Scorpio district with the larger screen.

Now the HORUS detection system was working again. The device allowed everyone to spot abnormalities; and while it was being re-tuned to work with the appearing buildings, 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...

But why are everyone huddle around large televisions screens for some reason?

[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.]

She's still completely indifferent and her tone deadpan.

"You would be the third Death I've met in the past month. I'm Ruri. Hoshino Ruri. And I thought Hades was the god of the underworld and Thanatos was the god of death."

[hit_frappe]

"Has a better ring to it than 'realm of the dead's ruler'. But no, your high school Greek mythology classes haven't failed you, my dear. Thany-poo is indeed the god of death," he says, glancing left and right.

"Even if he dies as much as he brings death."

[electricyousei]

"I actually never went to High School. But I see, Death dies. I suspect your lack of a reaction out of me may be in part that I may be from a different dimension where you don't really hold any particular power other than being a villain in children's cartoons."

[hit_frappe]

"Careful what you say. Some of what happens in those cartoons would be too gruesome for real life. Seriously, if there's any being that can be creative with the violence, it's you humans."

[electricyousei]

"That is very true, and you have been far more civil than the other deity I have come across here. Still, it was more you seem out of place and perhaps I can be of assistance."

[hit_frappe]

"Civil?"

He frowns and scratches his head at the remark. It's just so foreign when used to refer to him.

"Fine, fine, never let it be said that civility is not within my many abilities. Yes, you may be able to help. The first question that comes to mind is... 'what other deity'?"

[electricyousei]

"Her name is Viridi. She likes to be loud with psychic communication."

[hit_frappe]

"Oh, her."

Hades smiles.

"She's easily the feistiest in the ol' pantheon. Tried to annihilate all human life, you know? I recommend stepping on a flowerbed in front of her. It'll be to die for."

[electricyousei]

"From the exchanges I've had with here, I would wager that is a very very bad idea."
