The Search for the Newcomers, January 2012 Edition.

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.]

[Kairi was attempting to go about in her daily life in the midst of all the buzz and excitement of the Persona Grand Prix, but it was admittedly rather difficult to get through the shopping districts with everyone out and about at the same time. Sighing to herself, the red headed girl stops to take a rest on a bench nearby to Sollux, unwrapping the scarf from around her neck to rub at the all too familiar collar underneath. She really wished it was possible to get these dumb things removed, but she didn't want to risk getting shocked to death in a place like this where the Consortium's cloning and reviving technology was long out of reach. Not to mention she had no way of knowing how gross and scarred up her neck was under the collar, what with all the stabbing, burning, squeezing, and shocking the hunks of metal did to keep the subjects in line back there. More evidence of her horrible life back in Facility was the last thing she wanted to burden onto her friends, especially when she was so reluctant to talk about it in the first place, besides with Naminé.]

Bluh.

lol we meet again

[psionichax0r]

[It takes him a second to notice, as he glances around distractedly trying to spot any kind of a familiar figure. His gaze stops on her, not because she is any kind of familiar, although there's something about her that's recognizable, it's because of the collar she's wearing, the same he has, the kind that everyone else here seems to be missing.]

[He walks over to here, not quite sure how to start a conversation.]

Uh, hey. Do you know what's going on here.

[Well, it's a better start than just staring blankly at her from afar.]

its like ~fate~

[princessofheart]

[Kairi looks up from her fiddling with a kind expression and open body language, perfectly happy to help out whoever it was that needed it. After all, she was just that kind of person and she knew it was about time for newcomers to appear in the city. But her eyes shoot wide when she notices the collar around his neck, and gently touches her own in recognition.]

Facility?

[Oh my god, were more people than just her and Naminé actually managing to escape?]

[psionichax0r]

Yeah.

The facility.

We're still there, right?

[princessofheart]

You uhm, might want to sit down for this one.

[She pats the bench next to her gently.]

[psionichax0r]

[oh boy that does nothing for his stress]

That bad huh.

[he sits]

[princessofheart]

Well, we're... not in Facility at all. You've gotten out.

[If he were anything like her, he would be simultaneously immensely relieved while equal parts upset that it meant that all of his other friends and loved ones were still back there.]

[psionichax0r]

[He just stares at her./font>]

That's impossible.
