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.]
emperor_penguin: (and your supersititon would help you)

They're close enough, believe you me. Hyrule too, but that's long gone by now.

[sigh]

Can't I'd blame you for stayin' out of it even if you were there. Facin' up to evil like that... it's not an experience anyone will soon forget.

So if you're not the goddess of my world, then where are you from? Must be from pretty far away if you don't even know about the cannibal.
forceofnature: (Scheme)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of cannibal worries the gods? Are we talking like, eldritch abomination here or what?

I'm from a place called Earth. Might have heard of it. There are a lot of them going around, apparently, but mine has a Skyworld and an Underworld and a whole lot of disgusting little creatures we call humans running around.
emperor_penguin: (YOUR milkshake)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Humans... yeah, we got those too. And mushroom people and Koopas and Waddle Dees and all kinds of things. But the cannibal... hell if I know what that thing's supposed to be. I was too busy tryin' to keep my head to think much about that.
forceofnature: (Default)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Those game worlds are not supposed to go together what are these people thinking?

[Mumble mumble.]

You are awfully fixated on that cannibal. Has it registered yet that you're not even at home anymore or are you just traumatized forever or something?
emperor_penguin: (acrooooooooooss the room)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure everyone's traumatized after that. They caught him, of course, but the kingdom's gonna be hurtin' for a long damn time.

[And then he shrugs his massive shoulders as a wry smile spreads across his face.]

Not that it's my problem anymore. Can't do much to help if you're already dead.
forceofnature: (Confused)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Huh.

You're not, though.

...Well, here, at least. I'm the goddess of all living things; I can tell these things.

Looks like you have a pretty good reason to stick around, anyway.
emperor_penguin: (and my straw reaches)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Funny, sure felt like I was killed before I woke up here. Really makes you wonder why they'd give a guy like me a second chance.
forceofnature: (Amused)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Eh.

I mean, I revive my generals all the time, but that's because I kind of need them. Maybe that guy thought you would bring something interesting to the city.

So what, did the cannibal get you?
emperor_penguin: (Default)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
No, wasn't the cannibal. He doesn't bother beating his victims over the back of the head before he kills them. Can't really say who it was - it was over pretty fast.
forceofnature: (Surprise)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh... A murder mystery!

If you ask nicely, maybe I'll use my divination skills to tell you who to haunt when you get back to your world!
emperor_penguin: (if you have a milkshake)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's mighty nice of you to offer, but I'm all right not knowin'. This place is a hell of a lot nicer than back home anyway. Think I might just settle down here and make myself at home.
forceofnature: (Unsure)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
...

What kind of person doesn't want to know who killed him? Don't be so boring!
emperor_penguin: (and I have a milkshake)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
What's it matter now? What difference would it make knowin' any of that?
forceofnature: (Disaster)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
VENGEANCE.

Also, I mean... Not to burst your bubble or anything, but we're not staying here forever. I don't think. So what if there is an afterlife back where you come from?
emperor_penguin: (did you think your song and dance)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Vengeance, huh?

[All he can do is laugh.]

Not interested. I've had enough of bloodshed for two or three lifetimes already. And if there is an afterlife back home, I'm pretty sure I'll be too busy facin' up to my own sins to worry about vengeance anyway.

[He readjusts his hammer, slinging it up and over his shoulder again.]

So instead, I'm just gonna enjoy myself while I can.
forceofnature: (Confused)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
You are the most boring talking blue penguin with a hammer I've ever met. Congratulations.

...

Oh, right, I was going to comment on that earlier.

Since when do penguins talk again?
emperor_penguin: (I am the third revelation!)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-09 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Entertainment's never been my forte.

[He has people to do that for him.

Had people.

Whatever.]


'Bout as long as mushrooms and turtles have, I imagine.
forceofnature: (Push)

[personal profile] forceofnature 2013-02-09 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...You know, the only Mushroom Kingdom normal worlds have is Fungi under the old phylogenetic categorization.

Anyway.

Welcome to Hinoto-Ri, blah blah; for being a talking penguin you sure act a lot like a human but whatever. Enjoy the stay.
emperor_penguin: (Default)

[personal profile] emperor_penguin 2013-02-10 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Guess I'll do some explorin', then.
forceofnature: (Confused)

[Viridi's voice will fade away with murmurings of 'boring boring boring' under her breath.]
