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.]

Mm, yes, that sounds right... let's see, maybe the network has something.

[All of that input-in-the-air gestures stuff continues for a few moments more. And then Dakki exclaims happily, having found something.]

Ah! City Hall, it looks like. And I think your COMP should just be... showing up, soon. I know mine did.

[With all that searching done, she drops her arms and turns back to Nagisa.]

Care to go together?

COMP? What's a -

[And then she stops mid-sentence. It doesn't hurt at all when the nanomachines find her and attach behind her ear, but Nagisa's eyes widen when the glasses appear. So that's what Dakki's been doing!]

That thing that just happened, that's the COMP? The little glasses and all? So this must be the network, right?

[Nagisa experimentally puts her hands out in front of her, and yep. That would be something like a computer keyboard. She might not be the most technically-inclined person in the world, but she has to admit that this is neat. As if on cue, there's a high-pitched squeaking noise from behind her, and she giggles, turning away from the display to face the orange creature that's just appeared.]

You can see it too, Kirara? Ah, wait -

[Before Nagisa can stop it, the Kirara has floated over to Dakki, making a few noises.]

That's Dakki. She's a friend, you don't need to worry! Dakki, this is a Kirara. It's a little creature that comes from where I come from. I think it got curious about you, but that's because they like people. I think it must want us to go together!
photonicfighter: (Dakki upgrade - What?!)

[personal profile] photonicfighter 2013-02-10 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, there it is! And Dakki can't hold back a little laugh of delighted surprise.]

That's the COMP, yes. It'll put you on the city's network, so you can keep in touch with the other, er... they're calling us "Visitors". The other Visitors.

...oh? Oh!

[And that's wide-eyed delight when she sets eyes upon the little orange Kirara. When it comes closer, she even lifts up a hand as though to touch it. She resists, though.]

It's so cute! And... and it's glowing, it looks almost like some sort of... photon-emitting creature! Aaah!

Visitors...got it.

[The Kirara, on the other hand, is not going to resist in the slightest, brushing against Dakki's hand with a friendly chirp before going back to Nagisa.]

They glow especially brightly for an idol when she's giving it her best in a performance. This one came to me during my first real concert, but you should really see a 0048 show back home. The Kirara are so bright, and the music is so great...

Ah, but I made up my mind! Even though I'm just a 0048 understudy, and even though I'm here, I'll do my best!

...ah, right, I got distracted, sorry. City Hall?
