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.

Action
Eric...
[He doesn't know what to say but maybe he doesn't have to say anything. There's a flare of pain in his chest and his breathing is off but Alan pushes on walking towards Eric. He should apologize for being gone but he doesn't know what to say so instead he offers a somewhat helpless shrug.]
I'm back.
Action
[Eric covers the distance between them in only a few fast strides. Grabbing Alan roughly by the shoulders, he presses the other man tightly to his chest.]
Alan... I... Don't leave me again, please!
[There's real relief, joy, and anguish in his voice.]
Action
It wasn't- I didn't- Of course not. I won't leave. I won't go away again.
[Each false start is broken by a harsh breath, an almost sob; a crack in his voice. There so much he wants to say, to ask but he can't. Alan knows he can't, Eric's upset enough and to be honest he dreads the possible answer he may get.]
Action
Action
[Alan shook his head only to lay his head against Eric's shoulder.]
Can we just go home? I missed the apartment, you and Beau. I just want to go back h-home.
Re: Action
Action
I didn't mean to make you worry.
Action
It wasn't your fault.
I think Beau missed you.
Action
I think I missed him, too. Very much.
He hasn't been in too much trouble has he?
Action
I was scared... you have a doctor here. And when you were gone, I thought...
Action
I don't want to talk about while I was gone. I won't be leaving again so there isn't any reason to worry.
Re: Action
Are you all right? [Concern in his tone again.]
Action
I'm fine I was just worried about everyone here; Eponine, William, even Grell and everyone from the bakery even if I'd only been there a little bit. It was strange going back and seeing things the way they were given how they are here.
Re: Action
Everyone is fine. [His breath is on Alan's lips] You haven't been gone lone, just a few weeks.
Action
Does that everyone include you? Were you fine? [He's breathless and his words are quiet, his voice holding a bit of panic as he searches his face for reassurance.] A lot can happen in a few weeks.
Action
Action
You're right. [A smile.] Always so cool and knowing just what to say.
Action
That's not true, you know. [He chucks Alan under the chin.]
Action
Maybe not but you try. You try and sometimes that's enough. Let's go inside. I could use a cup of tea and you can tell me what's been going on.
[Or he could curl up with his head on Eric's lap and just settle in again.]
Re: Action
It will be all right. Come on.
[He takes Alan inside.]
Action
It will. I know it will.
Action
It was hard... you were just... gone one day.
Action
I wouldn't have reacted well either if you would have gone back. I just.. I woke up there it wasn't very pleasant. I felt really strange and I couldn't put my finger on it - I figured it was just déjà vu since I woke up a bit before I got pulled here the first time.
