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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Cosplay is like.. [ She starts to try and explain, but it just doesn't seem like it's worth it. If only she had Teddie around to serve as an example. ]

So, are you really telling me that you're real? And those are real? [ She's pointing at the wings. ]

..This is a weird city.

*in answer to her question about being real, he simply stands up a bit taller -- which lifts the bottom of his robe and pants up, better revealing the long, split toes of his boots and the lack of shins where a human's would be -- and spreads his wings for her to see them better. There's no way he's faking those, with how they move, and how the feathers shift properly and everything.*

I think it an odd city too, but there are others here that aren't human, besides me. Some of them are from other worlds, like you and I am, and... some of them aren't. There're a good few about this city that people call "demons"... except they're not hostile at all, and they look nothing like what we'd call demons, back in Nosgoth.

*he folds his wings back up behind him, trying to put back on a little smile for her.* I still find it strange that humans don't know what I am, here. It really all depends on what one is used to, as to what seems odd, doesn't it?

[ ...It's hard to believe but he looks really real, as far as Chie can tell. ]

...I guess if you loved in a world of people like you, humans would look really weird. [ It just makes her feel dumb after having said that. Still, at least he's being helpful and answering questions, which is exactly what Chie needed. ]

You said I should go to town hall?

*he can't help some smile at that first comment* I can't imagine my world not having any humans; my clan wouldn't exist. We were humans ourselves, at one point; I still recall it, as long ago as that was. And yes, I did say the town hall would have things waiting for you. I can show you where it is...

*but he looks over at the food stand, where the line's all but gone again, and then back to her* ...unless you're hungry? I can get you something to eat first.

..You were human? [ His story keeps getting crazier and crazier. It really sounds like the plot of some sci-fi movie. ]

I'm always hungry for steak! The way the sizzling juices fill the air with the most succulent aroma! Who could resist it?! [ Which means she would prefer to eat than head to the town hall. ]

*that gets a bit of a laugh from him, and he steps with her to the food stand.* It was a very long time ago, but yes. I was. Don't tell me... your world doesn't have vampires either?

*which implies that he's one... but there's really nothing very threatening about him, least of all his body language. If anything, he seems kind of shy. But he looks to the vendor before she can answer, as it's their turn already, and passes over what looks like a debit card, letting the vendor know to wrap up two helpings of the meat in the little paper wrapper. No, just the one wrapper, but thank you-- seasoning? Ah...*

*looks back to Chie again* Did you want anything on it?
