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.

That worked fine with him. Priest was just a title he had been given by his creator, though it served decently enough at times.

"Why you are here, I don't know, but I do know what brought you." He teased despite the very close presence of metal, or maybe because of it.
cremating: (What is it?)

Dilandau stepped closer, "Explain it then, before I get more bored with you than I already am." He didn't take well to that, not at all and his grip was not quite steady right now.
that_is_asecret: (That is a secret)

Xellos didn't appreciate being called boring. Annoying, sketchy, mysterious were all acceptable, but few had ever called him boring. He pouts a bit at the man, before his smile returns.

"Not unless you ask me nicely." he said wagging his finger at him as if he was a petulant child.
cremating: (U suck)

"... are you serious? I'm holding a sword to your throat."
that_is_asecret: (smug bastard)

He smiles a little, and then suddenly disappears.

"Is it now?" came the amused voice as if he were still right there, which he quite clearly wasn't.
cremating: (Oh shit!)

[personal profile] cremating 2012-07-12 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Ahhh!" he starts, badly, "What the -- are you a sorcerer?! What the hell!"
that_is_asecret: (chuckle)

He reappears in the air above, floating casually within Dilandau's view, and laughs a little.

"Yes, I am. Most priests from my world have some grasp of magic, I just happen to be better then most."
cremating: (Pretty/contemplative)

[personal profile] cremating 2012-07-12 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sorcerers make him nervous, for good reason... "What kind of place is this...?" He's starting to feel woozy, shit. "Fine, I'll play it your way."
that_is_asecret: (smug bastard)

[personal profile] that_is_asecret 2012-07-12 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
"I figured you might see it my way. I'm guessing you are still feeling poorly from the Pull. Its known as Pull Sickness, for most it goes away with a day or two, depending on your constitution." He was now more content with how things were going.
cremating: (U suck)

[personal profile] cremating 2012-07-12 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
"My constitution is fine..." he scowls, gritting his teeth and clapping a hand over his facial wound with a hiss, sheathing his sword. "Pull sickness. The Pull is what brought me here?"
that_is_asecret: (neutral expression)

[personal profile] that_is_asecret 2012-07-12 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Technically a device called the Core brought you here, the Pull is the effect it causes. Thus far no one has been able to figure out how to fix it, or been able to destroy it." he explained the basic information about the Core.

"There are people from all different sorts of worlds, you are the first from Gaia. Forced escape is quite impossible, but occasionally the Core will send some people back to their worlds inexplicably." He stated calmly
cremating: (Cracking up)

[personal profile] cremating 2012-07-12 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm stuck here..." A snarl escaped him, "I can't be stuck here I need to -- I'll rip open that fools belly and watch his guts fall out!" He breaths deeply, really trying not to get worked up. "This is ridiculous."
that_is_asecret: (Oh!)

[personal profile] that_is_asecret 2012-07-12 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, sounds like you have someone you feel strongly about. Whats his name?"

This entire conversation was quite a feast for Xellos. He seemed to respond to most things with anger and hatred.
