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.]

[Well, that was rather sudden. Natsuki suspiciously growls back, silently, at the hulking man.]

"How did you know that?"

[greyerrant]

It is logical enough. You have ragged clothes, look quite confused, and are carrying yourself in a rather wary manner. You have nothing to fear from me, be assured of that much. [ He looks back to the television the mortals were watching ]

I was just here to say what the Mayor had to say.

[likethewolf]

[That makes enough sense. She did just get out of a pretty huge fight. Alive, somehow? Things still didn't add up.

But this wasn't a good time for thinking about that. She needed to find out more about what was going on and where she was.]

Mayor? So this is a real city? What does he have to say?

[greyerrant]

Hot-blooded rambling, mostly. His heart is the right place but he isn't what I'd call the most efficient administrator. He's a likeable figurehead though, and his suboordinates do a good enough job considering... well, everything. [ He shrugs his massive shoulders at the strange city of Hinoto-Ri. ]

[likethewolf]

Hmm.

[The girl response and thinks, looking again at the TV.]

What is everything?

[greyerrant]

We're beset by demons and strange otherworldly beings, in some kind of ill-defined fight for the soul of humanity.


But mostly there's a lot of foolishness and nonsense and juveniles falling in love.

[ He snorts derisively. ]

[likethewolf]

[As man finishes the second part of his comment, Natsuki chuckles and says under her breath.]

It's like I haven't even left...

[greyerrant]

Well, I don't really understand that sort of thing anyway. [ He shrugs his massive shoulders once more. ]

I'm Cerberus, by the way.

[likethewolf]

Cerberus? This isn't hell, is it?

[greyerrant]

No. I've seen hell, and this isn't it.
