October New Arrivals!

Who: October Arrivals, Greeters, NPC recruiters & anyone else who happens to be hanging around the Tower Apartments to 'welcome' newcomers.
When: Throughout October, 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 welcoming signs, posted by Newcomers as encouragement. However, from time to time some form of degrading graffiti'd 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 were set up in the elevator shafts, back in January. Tower Two's weren't disabled in time, so 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.

[ Sigh.... ]

Fine, fine. Hurry it up, though. I am already bored.

[Soma's reassurances are drowned out by Agni's sobbing.]

Oh my precious prince, I have failed to protect you! That your blessed spirit should bless me with this blessed object is a blessing I am not worthy of!

AGHHH! [He cries out in anguish!] I will keep your spirit safe as I failed to. Oh! Fear not, my Spirit Prince! Your Agni will not fail you again!

Kid, this place is dangerous. You've been dragged to Siren's Port. Now, don't go out after dark. If you need an apartment I can get you one. Are you listening?

[ Soma doesn't hear the rest of Agni's declarations as he clicked the feed off to concentrate on making it back to the baseball diamond. He stays in the light of the street lamps, trying to remember the route the taxi that had brought him to the estate had taken, though every few minutes he stops at a harsh shriek or howl behind him.

Shivering, Prince Soma runs further down the street until he can finally see the silhouette of the starter apartments.

...But that silhouette is quickly blocked by a darker, more ominous one... ]


......Agni!!!

[ Soma has no clue what that thing is in front of him, but he knows if he cries out, Agni will come to him. ]

Dark, apartment...yes I understand. Is that all?

Ok! Let's go then!

Fine. Fine. [He gives him the pamphlets.]

Just be sure you read these.

How could I have failed you so...

SOMA!

[He hears the cry and is there almost instantly, ripping the bandages off his hand.]

Soma! I am coming!

[And suddenly, he's between Soma and the Monster.]

[ Soma cowers behind Agni, frozen, eyes wide as he watches Agni defend him against that...creature. Now he recalls that greeter telling him something about staying in after dark...this must be why! ]

[ He flips through it quickly before holding it out to the side, as if expecting someone to take it from him. But, then he remembers that someone isn't here, and pouts. ]

[In his state, the creature doesn't stand a chance. It falls to the ground under Agni's blow.]

Soma! My prince! Please forgive me!

[He falls to his knees in front of Soma, tears streaming over his cheeks.]

10/3 Afternoon

[personal profile] deathknellgrell 2012-10-11 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ Grell hasn't quite given up on the idea of finding a baby daddy, despite all the negative attention his post seems to have garnered. He supposes recent arrivals might be the most susceptible to his newly-feminine charms.

So this would be why he's hanging around the baseball diamond clad in a push-up bra, an unbuttoned shirt that's too small to contain his new assets, with Madam Red's jacket (of course!) hanging off his slender shoulders.

Boom! Suddenly - a man! ]


Why hellloooooooooooo sailor~!

[ Grell jogs up to his victim new friend, bouncing all the way! ]

[ Soma is still staring into the darkness, terrified despite Agni's ease at defeating the creature. ]

Agni...what was that thing?

[ There's another sudden, piercing shriek behind them! Soma startles, then quickly grabs Agni's arms, trying to pull him up from his kneeling position. ]

Get up, Agni! We have to get back to Ciel's home!

I thought you were dead! I...

[At the horrifying sound, Agni is on his feet. He pulls Soma behind him.]

Lead the way, Let's go!

[ Soma grips tightly onto Agni's hand as he tries to keep up, eyes darting at every sound around them. ]

T-turn right up here! It is right at the end of this street...hurry Agni!

I am all alone! Ciel is not here, my Meena left me and, and Agni...

AGNI! What will I do without my Agni here?!

[ CLING! ]

Jo Ajna! I will save you. [He wills himself forward faster, almost dragging Soma now, but they make it.]

Uh, he might be. We haven't looked yet. Uh...

There there...

[ Once inside, Soma slams the large entrance doors behind them, making sure to lock them up tight. He leans back against them, panting and out of breath. ]

Thank...thank you, Agni. You have saved me once more.

[ He looks up, giving him a bright smile despite his trying to catch his breath. ]

There wasn't any need for that. I was in the best of care. [There's a small pang in his chest as he takes in the question knowing he's about to lie.]

I have to stay here with you don't I? Besides I don't want to go back.

Hello yourself. Wouldn't wager you know where we a--

[ Wait, hold on. There's something familiar about all that red. He doesn't mean to be so rude, Grell, he really doesn't but he's staring now. Staring. So hard.

That rack. ]

I was broken when you left. I don't want you to leave again. I just don't understand...
