Possible Scenarios Please note that all characters will initially arrive in their assigned housing; they are free to explore the City to their heart's content after that! 01. A New Arrival: Hello, New Person! You seem to have found yourself on a sidewalk in the City of Sin with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stomach churning feeling of being displaced. Thankfully, the streets are full of people - Watch out that you don't get mugged! 02. Demonic Presences: You were just minding your own business, weren't you? But that's always when bad things seem to happen, and the City of Sin isn't really that friendly. Whatever bar or street you're hanging out in suddenly go dim, filling the area with an unnerving feeling as the shadows on the walls jump out into reality. We suggest you phone a friend for help, or maybe try running? 03. Party Hard: You've been invited to a massive, elegant party in the Tower District that spills out its doors in welcome. Obviously, this whole thing is weird and you don't know who your hosts are, but maybe you can get some free drinks and food out of it! This place might not be so bad. 04. Prominence: The City of Sin influences its population on a weekly basis. Too bad you came right smack dab in the middle of a heavy Prominence. Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, or Pride: choose your sin and be wicked. 05. Trouble: Not everyone is sunshine and roses here. Some people are violent and cruel, raised in the sludge of a sinful city. And they like to pick on people they think can't fight back. Are you that person? Or are you the Hero who can't stand to watch? Worse yet, could you be the person doing the instigating? Villian. 06. Carnival: The City has carnivals or festivals now and then; you're lucky to catch one! With its open booths filled with cork gun games and funnel cakes, how can someone not have any fun! Go win your darling a stuffed animal, or meet someone new on the spinning cup ride. You might even see someone you know being talked into sitting in the Dunk Tank. 07. Network: There's a network device in your pocket - or at least a familiar object that seems to work in mysterious ways. Perhaps you can take to that and ask for a bit of help? Or maybe you'd prefer to have a little fun with all of this. Surely someone will reply. 08. Wild Card:Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

He shrugs. "Basically." He's pretty calm about this, considering. "I don't know if 'aware' is quite the right word, but it's close. The demons and the City seem to be kind of connected, but no one knows why we're here."

Jacob takes a deep breath, stepping away from the other, dropping his hands back to his sides. He has no idea where he is, why he's here, or how to get away. The fact that no one else has answers to these questions doesn't help, it doesn't lend him any sort of comfort, it doesn't make him feel that suddenly he's part of something larger.

It makes him desperate to get the answers.

"Who would know? Why we're here?"

[silversneakers]

There's not a lot of comfort that Peter can give him. Answers only bring more questions, and none of the information is satisfying. Peter has settled in here as easily as he can, but he's not really the type to waste energy raging against a situation. He makes the best of it. Which doesn't mean he wouldn't take a way home if one presented itself.

"If anyone knows, they're not telling."

[nothinglikefather]

"Great."

Well, that's not much help, but it just means he'll have to find some answers on his own, and he's used to that. True, he doesn't know this place, he has no contacts here, he barely knows where to begin.

But he'll get there.

"Thanks. I'm... sorry I grabbed you."

[silversneakers]

"That's kind of a standard response to this place." So at least Jacob's not alone in that.

He shrugs. "I've had worse."

[nothinglikefather]

"What, sarcasm and despair? I bet they don't put it in the visitor's books."

He sighs and, dusts off his hands, and resigns himself to the fact this place is not London, that he doesn't know what he's doing here, and getting himself out will be difficult. But he'll do his best.

[silversneakers]

"No. They do give you some money and some food though, like that's supposed to make up for bringing us here." Maybe for some people it does. It really hadn't led to any less trouble for him than if there had been no food at all.

[nothinglikefather]

"Sounds more like a bribe, wouldn't you say?"

It does to Jacob, but he's not about to take any handouts. He never has and he never will, he'll find his own way instead.

[silversneakers]

"That depends on your point of view, I suppose." He'd eaten it all, and spent all of the money, within hours of arriving, but he's also got a basically insatiable appetite. He was hungry, is what happened.

[nothinglikefather]

It's a bribe. They give you money and they give you food, and if you take it and use it, then you're consenting to being here. That's how it seems.

Not that you can appeal to characters like that anyway.

"Alright. Thanks. I... owe you, I guess."

[silversneakers]

It doesn't matter if you consent or not, no one's going anywhere. He figured he might as well have something to eat while he's stuck here.

"Nah, don't worry about it. We're all in the same boat anyway."
