The Search for the Newcomers, Feburary 2013 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.

[FOR THOSE IN THE CITY:]
There was still so much cleanup to do. What a perfect time for your HORUS detection systems to start warning you that another group of people were forthcoming.

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...

[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.]

Comments

I'd suggest longer garments if the weather is a problem.

[Not that he could say much. His armor handled heat and cold for him so any temperature was fine for him. The only sad part was going without his helmet since he still had to be careful with his head. Putting pressure on it after a concussion would be a nono.]

There are stores around if you need that kind of thing.

[blahblahblah]

Normally I'd take you up on that. But I suspect my money won't be any good here. [She reaches into a pocket and pulls out a few hundred gald; the coins will likely look totally unfamiliar.] Not unless I can melt them down or something.

[greatergone]

[He peers at the coins and...no. He's never actually taken notice of physical currency before. His own society has moved past paying for things and here, he just uses a card.]

No, they don't have a barter type of system here.

[Yeah, he's still a bit ignorant on human stuff. He knows just enough to get by.]

[blahblahblah]

Great, so the one time I'm carrying money I can use, it doesn't work. I guess that's going to be something else to deal with later...

[greatergone]

If you need something to keep you warm temporarily, I can at least assist in that manner.

[Not that he wanted too much at all, that dislike of humans still creeping up on him. But he also knew the benefits of having allies so he'd at least offer something simple.]

[blahblahblah]

I can manage for the moment... probably. I don't anticipate I'll be spending a whole lot of time outside, once I figure out where I'm at and where I should be going.
