July Arrivals Log
Who: July Arrivals, Greeters, NPC recruiters & anyone else who happens to be hanging around the Tower Apartments to 'welcome' newcomers.
When: Throughout May, 2012 (Please Specify Date & Time in Thread Header)
Where: The Sector 4 Baseball Diamond, Parking Lot & Lobby of the Tower Apartments
Summary: This is your catch-all one stop log for arrival interactions! New Newcomers can also meet and mingle in the apartment lobby.
Warnings: Nausea, potential for violence, language- add on any warnings or ratings as they come up.
It feels like a whiplash, like being plucked up into the sky and sucked through a very tight dark space before being deposited rather roughly in the City. Your character will be disoriented, dizzy, slightly nauseous, and very sore upon arriving in Siren's Port It is your choice whether your character arrives during the safety of the day or the danger of night.
Until recently, no one knew why, but every new arrival from another world gets deposited in the dead center of an ill-kept baseball diamond.
Some of the fences and signboards have been replaced with information and welcome signs, frequently kept up by Newcomers as encouragement (though from time to time some form of degrading tag might appear here or there, 'Go Home!' or 'Now You're Fucked, Newmeat' 'Welcome to Sirens Port, Population: Too Many to Add One More' and 'Attention Newcomers: Please wait here till sunset sirens to receive your welcoming package! =) ')
A person is thrown from their pull somewhere within the fenced-in baseball field, either in the dirty infield or tossed rolling into the overgrown dirty outfield. A recent fire has charred the left side of the outfield, and grass is only starting to grow back.
Standing on second base and facing home plate, one will see a rotten, old and deteriorating backstop and chain link fencing, much like any little league baseball field. Broken down bleachers made of worn out green painted wood can be seen in disarray behind this, and some old trees line the wall and fencing along the right side.
To your left is a walled in Dugout with a secured door. The dugouts are made of thick concrete and set low into the earth. This one has been outfitted as a safe place to enter during the night to hide and wait out the morning. Sometimes Greeters can be found here, waiting for people to show up. The Dugout to the right has also been cemented over and secured with a heavily guarded and armored door.
The Baseball Diamond is held by the Neutral Government, allowing greeters access to the infield to retrieve new arrivals. However, the small building constructed over the right dugout is still guarded heavily by government-controlled Voids, to block public access to the Core. Those who cooperate with greeters will be treated fairly and be given helpful information, lead to the Tower Apartments and offered a month's lodging. Those who put up a fight will be met with Voids and detained by police.
Just beyond the fence, in the Tower Apartments parking lot and lobby, SERO and AGI recruiters will be passing out informational leaflets presenting company propaganda, including discounted coupon booklets and travel-sized toiletries as a "Newcomer Welcome Package".
Other then the lights around the Core dugout, there is one single electric light above home plate that remains on, even in the Darkness. There is an open walkway near the dugouts that leads into the parking lot of the Tower Apartments. The front doors of Tower One are always kept unlocked, but you had best close them again quickly if you slip inside during the night. The office of the Landlord is well marked near the lobby, and you'll receive keys there.
The second tower is abandoned, it looks like there was some kind of bombing. Asking around, you might hear about the anti-newcomer movement and an attempt to blow up both towers, explosive charges set up in the elevator shafts five months ago. Tower Two's weren't disabled in time. The building is taped off and you'll be advised not to go wandering in there- it's no doubt structurally unsound, though the first tower still stands tall and (mostly) functioning. Though temporary housing services are funded by SERO and AGI, they are now run buy the Newcomers themselves. With heavy funding and support contacts from both companies, the building is in a state of slow remodeling.

Dude the clothing are from two brightly colored shonen idiots, trust me, there's nothing from the late 19th century. They aren't even slightly close.
...You don't seem to sure about those skills of yours, Allen. Maybe she could help a little... She seems a little surprised by the mention of the bag, though, and glances down at her hand, as if expecting it to have still been in her hand. When had she dropped it? Well... She waves a hand a little bit, and smiles. She didn't really need it, to be perfectly honest. Inside the bag (If Allen looks) there seems to be a small lunch, with a few bagged sandwiches, and a bottle of juice. Nothing super fancy.]
You can have it if you're hungry. I was bringing a friend lunch, but I think I got his working days here mixed up.
[Though with Yosuke owning the Cats Eye now, she wasn't even sure he still worked here... she should probably figure that out soon.]
no subject
He is indeed staring down into that bag. OH NO, CONFLICTED FEELINGS... On one hand, he doesn't want to take someone else's food. That would be completely rude. On the other hand, FREE FOOD sounds like the most amazing thing right now and he is definitely a bit peckish...]
Are... are you positive? Wouldn't your friend still like his lunch?
no subject
I'm positive-- he didn't even know I was bringing it.
[The whole thing was done on kind off a whim, and she's not sure where to find Yosuke now anyway. So really he'd might as well have it.]
no subject
...And okay then, that is good enough for him!!] Thank you very much!
[He will just start wolfing down a sandwich right here right now. EVERYTHING IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD for the 10 seconds it takes him to eat this. Does not even care that his face is kind of covered in paint and he's smudging it.]
no subject
(It reminds her that she still hasn't gotten a job at a bakery, but she isn't sure she's entirely inclined towards a life like that anymore...)
Still, it's really nice to see someone enjoy something she made, even if it's just a sandwich. It's been a long while since anyone but Yosuke has.]
You're welcome.
[She glances at the tower apartments, and then gestures towards it, to make sure he sees.]
You should probably head over there. You don't have to stay there any longer than you need to, but at least for a little while.
no subject
He looks quite content after he swallows, basking in the afterglow of a free meal for the first time in weeks. AH...]
...All right. I will.
[Maybe. Settling down in an apartment sounds like a ridiculous notion right now. And he hasn't even seen the rest of the city...]
no subject
.....What. WEEKS. WHAT. No, no, that just won't do. Nill's wings flutter a little, and she smiles, although just slightly awkwardly. Now, just don't be too obvious...]
I do a lot of cooking and baking-- there are usually a lot of leftovers. I could bring you some another day if you'd like.
[Yes, that offer is flawless.]
no subject
Yes, he has had to buy his own food for weeks IT'S BEEN AWFUL...
He blinks at her, because he thought they'd changed topics, but otherwise it is a flawless offer. THOUGH HE JUST MET HER and he isn't planning on sticking around... Still, he won't turn it down, because food.]
Oh— that would be very generous of you! You would have to let me repay you for all of this...
no subject
Pfft, she waves a hand.]
It's fine!
[Seriously, she has... way too much money. Just. Don't ask and take the food.]
Even if you don't want to stay there though, you should at least go there at night. It really is dangerous to be out past dark.
no subject
AND HE WILL REPAY YOU ANYWAY, POSSIBLY. AND IT does not have to be monetary, because he also doesn't just give away money when he doesn't have to.]
...Are other places protected?
no subject
Yes, of course. [People here are very used to stuff like this.] Most other apartment buildings are darkness-proofed, and homes and businesses are as well. The mall is, too! It's huge, and open all night.
no subject
no subject
There's a lot here that you probably aren't used to.
no subject
no subject
[SHE KIND OF HAS A LOT OF MONEY OKAY.
A LOT.
She doesn't even use it for anything, seriously, let her help.]
With anything!
no subject
You're very kind. [Seriously, very kind.] I'll be fine, though. I should be okay from here...
no subject
Nill nods, but she still seems kind of hesitant to actually leave. Though that's probably really weird, and she knows it. But he's new and he just arrived AND WHAT IF HE DOESN'T GO INSIDE AT NIGHT AND GETS HURT...
And okay, even if she only met him a handful of times before, she'd held him in pretty high regard and she missed him.]
Alright.
