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.]

T-that would be good. I-it's a l-little cold out here. [Now now, Rita, stop shivering, you're there already. She steps inside gratefully, feeling a little better already... until she realizes everything's different. The lights are too bright to be fire and too oddly-shaped to be blastia. She's gawking a few steps inside the doorway, and doesn't seem inclined to stop anytime soon.]

Ruri walks past her and orders another hot chocolate, giving Rita time to adjust as well as she can, then offers it to her and points to a table.

"Perhaps you want to sit down and drink."

[The girl visibly shakes herself] Y-yeah, that's a good idea. [She accepts the cup and sits where indicated, taking a quick sip from the cocoa and letting out a faint sigh of bliss.] Ooh, that's better...

[After a moment, she blinks.] Um... you're doing all this, and I haven't even asked your name. Sorry. I'm Rita Mordio. [Her mouth opens to continue her introduction, but she realizes it may not be relevant, and closes it.]

"I'm Ruri. Hoshino Ruri. We're all out of sorts when this place first brings us here, I'm hoping this helps."
