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.]

[Though Aki is a participant in the Grand Prix, he's still following his usual training routine on the days he's not fighting. In fact, he's taken to running in the afternoons in addition to his usual early-morning run with Minato. Of course, with these crowds cropping up everywhere and acting as roadblocks in some places, actually getting anywhere is a little easier said than done. It's during one of these slow-downs that he spots a familiar face -- one he hasn't seen here in the city until now.

Grinning, he forgets about running for the time being. This is much more important.]

Hey, Fuuka!

[tacticals]

[Fuuka looks over when she hears her name called, eyes landing on Akihiko after a brief second of sorting out the crowd.]

Ah! Akihiko-senpai!

[She steps back from said crowd to lightly jog the remaining distance over to him, a very relieved look on her face once she's actually standing face to face with him.]

[risetocaesar]

You look a little lost.

[That's to be expected, of course, assuming she's among the new arrivals. He's glad to see that she appears relieved to see him -- finding familiar faces was definitely a tremendous help on his first day in Hinoto-Ri, though the conditions had been different.]

Did you just get here?
