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? Villain.

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!

[After a final drag of the cigarette Tulip does get into the cab and slides in next to Cassidy.] Just hazy Cass, it'll all make sense soon enough. Or after a second smoke. [A glimmer of her true self coming back. But at the moment something as simple as Cass's hand on her back was helping.] You gotta explain all this, I mean weird is normal for us but this is a whole other story.

It's not exactly Bimini. [They could've gone to Bimini. Thanks for reminding him, universe.

He'd much rather think about how the hell to start explaining the situation. Because Tulip's right — it's a whole other story.]

Right — how much d'you know about other dimensions? Multiverse theory? Time travel? [Jesus, it's a lot, isn't it? Wait, hang on, how about this:] Did y'ever see the Super Mario Brothers film with Bob Hoskins? The girl's kidnapped into an alternate universe and gets held prisoner by Dennis Hopper.

No kidding.

[But as Tulip lets Cassidy explain things in his way a tiny smile does sneak out.]

Actually do remember that one Cass and well its weird, our weird times about 20. [She's going for light but at the same time a lot is still hazy.]

Right — you and me are like Princess Peach, cause we’ve been sucked into an alternate universe, and we can’t get out. Only with us, there’s no Dennis Hopper villain.

[All clear?]

[Well you do get a smile out of her Cass.]

We're the Princess stuck in someone else's castle, makes sense on a weird enough level. All that's missing is the cartoon goon. [Well that could be a good thing given everything else?]

I don't think John Leguizamo's gonna be comin' t'save us in a green jumpsuit, neither. Although, the things I've seen already in this place, I wouldn't be altogether shocked if he did.

Time works weird in this place. You probably remember seein' me out front of Denis's, like, five minutes ago. But I've been here just over a month now.

It would not be the first time something odd happens too. And no kidding, I really did just see you like ten minutes ago. [Tulip's head is spinning even faster.] And level Cass, just how weird is this place? No killer cowboys or anything? [She's still a little paranoid about that one if she's being honest.]

No killer cowboys. [They won't be having to deal with that specific problem.] There are a lot of people with superpowers, but so far, most of 'em seem really nice, actually. Not murderous at all. Or after our souls.

The largest downside, really, is we're totally cut off from our finances across the dimensional plane. No access to old bank accounts. And any credit cards y'got are no more than colorful pieces of plastic now.

[A sigh of relief is heard from Tulip. The killer cowboy in question gave her enough problems.] What do you mean on powers? Anything like Jesse or a whole other ballgame? [But as she speaks she does find her wallet.] Well I'm down to about 75 bucks, another 5 in change and 2 now useless charge cards.

Not like Jesse. Jesse doesn't even have his own power — that's just Genesis.

The people here are more like actual superheroes. Like me neighbor, Airy. [He starts counting off her abilities — the ones he knows about:] She can fly, she can lift things with her mind, and she can call up these invisible shields. She's like if somebody took Jean Grey from the X-Men and crossed her with Sue Storm.

She's really nice. Not 'nice' like, y'know, 'Jenny' was, but actually nice.
