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.]

[Shiki was wandering around the city, trying to get through the sea of people while attempting to taking much of the sights as she can. This Gran Prix thing was a big deal, huh? She heaved a sigh of relief after her attempt of weaving and dodging bodies walking down the street was successful (looks like growing up in Shibuya has its perks after all |D). Shiki glanced to one side, spotting Koromaru at the corner of her eye, frowning when she heard the canine whine.]

Aww.

[She makes her way over to the dog, kneeling down to his level.]

Hi there! [She hold her hand out for him to sniff. She might smell a little bit like death but she's harmless!] Did you just get here?

[determinedhowl]

[A very big deal, apparently; even he understood it was a thing for some. Though, he stops a moment when he hears a voice over the din of the crowd. Hm?

...

Yeah, he's just going to sniff that hand and wonder why she smells of death when she's both solid and not Ryoji-kun.

The small sound he makes is answer enough; yes, he did.]

[spaztastic]

[That sounded like a yes to her. Gosh, that butterfly man is even pulling dogs in now? Poor puppy 8(

... and it's a little complicated why she's solid yet smells like death, Koro-chan]

[She coos at him, reaching her hand out to pet the dog (if he'll let her).]

It'll be okay, boy. Do you have a name?

[determinedhowl]

[Yep, Philemon is bringing in the dogs now, too. Apparently it didn't stop at hoomans, robots, or strange space cat people.

She won't get bitten, because he likes pets! He even sits down as if to show he doesn't mind. And as for the name, he barks once. It's Koromaru!

...Oh, right. She can't understand him. u_u At least it's on his "collar", along with S.E.E.S.]

[spaztastic]

[Philemon doesn't discriminate!

Shiki giggles when she sees Koromaru sit down, prompting her to start petting him. At his bark, she took as an affirmative, looking for a collar to see what his name was.]

Koromaru? [What a cute name!] Hi Koromaru! [Have some more headpats.] My name's Shiki. It's very nice to meet you.
