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!

Herbert was making his way from this or that, not really bothered much by the snow, granted his suit shoes made it a bit of a problem on icy patches, after working late at the hospital then going to Shanty town in search of certain chemical components that wouldn't be there due to how cut off the city was.

He had been walking along when he noticed the familiar haircut, but more so the familiar shirt....fuuuuck NO. No, no, no. This was not cool. Where was Daniel? Daniel needed to get her before something else happens... yet as he thought these things he remembered his creature ripping that very heart out of her chest because Dan rejected her. It was when the wind blew and he saw far to much in that winter chill that he yanked off his trench coat and walked over holding it out with the most disgruntled look, which looked funny given the scarf around his neck. "Miss Halsey, you are flashing everyone."

[nomorehead]

As the jacket came into sight and she took it pulling it around her and his voice hit her ears, she looked at him rather blankly. The bloodied long shirt was all she had and even if she was flashing the city at large. She was in shock, blue eyes blinking. " W..Where's Daniel?" was the first thing from her mouth. " Herbert where is he?" getting a bit more animated in her state.

The blond looked right like a scene out of a horror film blond hair messed up blood and grime all over her. She brought her hands up over her mouth " Where is he?" almost a whisper

[tolife]

A pen light was pulled from the inside of his suit jacket pocket as he shined the light in her eyes pretty much ignoring her question for the moment. "Daniel is not here. I had no idea you were here much less." He snapped the light off. "You are in shock, and have no shoes on, You will get frostbite if you do not get out of this weather, and taxi's are out of service with the weather. Come, show me where you came from."


He looked around before snapping and pointing another direction. "I will explain." Ignoring what he had just told her he was leading her towards the giant tower in the distance. Nothing here was warm.

[nomorehead]

She brought her hand up shooing him and that damned light away from her face. " How am I supposed to know?" she got out totally upset with the fact Daniel is not here. " What do you mean he's not here? Is this another one of your sick jokes?!" defensive Meg is defensive. " It's not funny Herbert." she pipped up.

" Where the hell are you taking me?!" she insisted " What is going on here?! Tell me what happened to Daniel!" cold or not she was pretty spiny nearly making a scene right there on the street.

[tolife]

He gave her a very flat look at the shoo-ing, very tempted to leave her ass in the snow and take his coat back.

"I mean what I said, and you seem to have it in your head that I joke about serious matters. Daniel is not here, this isn't even our world, I appeared here two weeks ago, and trust me when I say, I know there is no way you can logically be here, yet you are."

He kept walking the sound of her voice was like nails on a chalkboard. "I am getting you out of the ghetto before someone with power sees how little you are wearing. I am taking you to my apartment then we can talk. Daniel would never forgive me if I let you get frost bite."

[nomorehead]

Oh screw you and your stink eye Herbert. She's so use to that she's immune. She stopped for a moment. " Am I dead? Is that what this is?" her hand coming up to her neck which still had marks on it.

She chilled out pretty quickly giving a look around. Yeah, she totally did not want to be there, where ever there was at this point. " Okay." she said simply as she walked behind him. She'd get this figured out, and find out what this place is and why she's stuck here with Creepy Herbert instead of Daniel.

[tolife]

Good, get used to it, you bubble headed co-ed. Stink eye is all he gave her for the moment. When she asked her question he didn't answer instead silently leading her towards the tower, his mind running times for how long she can be barefooted in the snow before frost bite sets in, or worse. He wasn't about to hand over his shoes and everything was closed. Though he had little objection throwing a brick through a window, he was trying to build a better reputation here. He didn't have anyone to hide behind to cover up his work. He had to play a human here.

It was about a fifteen minute walk before Herbert lead her inside the beautiful skyscraper towards the elevator. He at least had learned some short cuts in his week here going from the brothel to the hospital and to this new place called home. People in the lobby game them flat looks as he glared right back, hitting the elevator button it was only once inside the elevator, with the doors shut that he looked to her.

"Yes, Miss Halsey, you are dead. Daniel tried to save you, but one of the creatures broke your neck. So, when we get inside, you will take a bath, I will find something for you to wear in the mean time. Then I will be looking your neck and feet over to make sure there is no residual damage, but considering I to should be dead, i have a feeling you will be fine." he explained with his arms crossed over his chest. He was going to have to call Airy, she was around Megan's size, she might know what to do for clothes and shoes until they can get to Meg's ghetto apartment and see what the city left her to wear if anything.

[nomorehead]

Fine. Be that way she didn't give a good damn. The silence at her questions was only irritating the confused woman further. Fifteen minutes in the cold following this psychotic maniac through a strange town. If this didn't suck she had no idea what did.

It was a nice place, almost too nice for the likes of Herbert West. They got into the elevator and she stood, she was used to people giving Herbert glares and dirty looks, he basically was a shit head to everyone and everything that wasn't eye ball deep in his science projects.

As he spoke finally, she turned her head slowly looking to him. " No." she said on the verge of a fantastic Megan Halsey patented freak out. " NO! I am not..." she brought her hand up to her neck " I refuse to be stuck in the after life with YOU!"

[tolife]

His science projects made sense, people though, fuck those guys. They were weird and didn't care enough about the mysteries of life. He was perfectly fine to stay silent and leave her in the snow, but if one fine male specimen named Daniel Cain ever showed up, well having the wench on hand would get him Dan back. Then he could kick Dan in the nards and send them both packing.

Leave him to die once, fool on him, leave him dead twice, and for a random hoe, well fuck you Mr. Cain.

The elevator opened as he moved out like she wasn't being herself, he wanted to roll his eyes but it seemed pointless. He moved quietly down the hall. "Megan, this is not the afterlife, there is no such thing and if their were we both know we are not going to the same place, being a bubble headed co-ed is not the same as playing god. Now come along." He unlocked the door stepped inside leaving the door open to decide if she was coming in or not. If she died in the hall... well he's got SOME reagent left.

[nomorehead]

" Bubble headed co ed?! Coming from the likes of you that's rich. You wouldn't know a damned thing about people then selves, the only way you give a damn is when they are dead so you can play with them!" she practically hissed going after him. She wasn't done with you yet you asshole. How dare you walk away from her.

" Not the after life? Then what is it? It's certainly not the French Riviera!" still quite pissed off as she entered the apartment and slammed the door shut. Luckily she didn't register him telling her to come along, that would have just pissed her off more. Megan Halsey pissed and fighting with Herbert West, big shock there.

[tolife]

"excuse me! I am a genius, I have saved countless lives since your death." He turned fast those hazel eyes narrowing on her. "Yes, I prefer the dead to the living but you can't even grasp the meaning of my work, so do not measure me with your small ruler!" He snapped at her.

When the door slammed the tugged his suit jacket off tossing it on the chair. "Please, like you have been to the French Riviera! I've at least traveled." For work but hey. "I've even been to war, you know nothing. Now, go take a damn bath before you get hypothemeia!" He snapped loudly pointing to the bathroom. At least this was normal.

[nomorehead]

" Ha! I guess you would be used to small rulers now wouldn't you?"she retorted back to him " I don't even think you grasp it any more, you're just obsessed and deranged!" she tossed off the over coat.

" Traveled to the grave yard, to dig up your next victim!" she clipped back at him. " Oh, please! You're just a cry baby. The only reason you helped me at all is because of your huge crush on my fiancee!" she said whipping into the bathroom slamming that door too.

[tolife]

"You know nothing about me. You have judged from the moment me met, Miss Halsey." Oh he didn't like the way she threw his insult back, but what could he do? He wasn't about to just whip it out and ask if it was small ruler worthy. Forget that.

He crossed his arms over his chest, rolling his eyes. Let it go, just let it go. Dan would have to come to collect her, then he can make Dan pay for hurting him. "Oh yes, of course, clearly it must be a crush not the fact that Daniel was invaluable to my research, I dare say a friend." He snapped through the bathroom door before stalking over to the couch and grabbing a new notebook.

Subject: Halsey, Megan.

He began to write through his irritation.

[nomorehead]

There was a laugh from the bathroom. " Keep telling your self that Herby." she said before getting to the task of taking a bath. Once she was done the shirt she was in was Dan's but it was filthy and full of blood she folded it up carefully and looked around for something to put on. Suit jacket it is.

She came back out the folded shirt in her hands. Suit jacket on and buttoned up as far as it would go." Do you have a tee shirt and sweat pants or something?"

[tolife]

He bristled like a wet cat when he heard her call him Herby, no one has dared call him that since his parents went into the ground. The coat he had given her was a calf length trench coat, the very one he wore in college over his suits, but age was on it now.

"Do I look like i own sweat pants?" He asked a bit of iritation in his tone, how dare she call him that. The only tshirts i own are white." He was not Dan, he did not want a wet t-shirt contest here. Still he moved from the fridge where he sat a glass of water down, pushing open the bedroom door. "Wear whatever, I called someone to help you with clothes, but she doesn't live close." The Green room was lovely, to nice for him, he has four simple suits, shirts in white and light blue, and boxers and socks. Good luck, he doesn't sleep in PJs or anything.

[nomorehead]

" Just that big stick up your ass." she said shaking her head and going into the room. It was quite nice. Asshole, figures he gets the nice place. She couldn't even remember what her place looked like really. She brings her hand up scratching the side of her head.

Suit ants or his underwear. Not a lot of options but she'd e damned if he got to peep on her nakedness more than he had already. " Gross." she said before picking out a pair of boxers and one of the blue shirts. It would have to do.

[tolife]

He flashed a hand geasture he never would have dared in front of Dan, before walking off leaving her in his room. On the dresser sat a picture of him and Dan, it was the dirtiest Herbert had ever been, but Peru had good memories.

He himself was in the kitchen boiling and some tea that he had gotten cheap the day he arrived, she wasn't worth breaking the coffee out for he was jotting in his notebook as he leaned waiting.

[nomorehead]

" You wish, weirdo." she said back to him in response to the hand gesture. As far as she's concerned everything bad that had happened to her in the last days before she arrived here was in large part his fault. Him and his obsession with the unnatural. And now she was stuck here, which for all she knew could be his damned fault too. Prick.

She came from the bedroom looking to him with the same disdain tht Catholic nun would an unruly student.
" Don't bother on my account. I don't plan on staying long." she said moving to the couch and sitting her self down. Just being around this douched waffl is giving her a tier 5 headache.

[tolife]

He simply rolled his eyes at her come back. Like he would ever. He pulled down two mugs, both looks not only clean but utterly new. He made himself the tea lefting the angry kettle on the stove as he mixed honey and nothing else into the tea. His eyes shifting up to her. He had little affection for her, same as with Rufus, he didn't murder the cat but he didn't like it either. He tolerated both, his current concern for Megan Halsey came from three points, one a scientific study, two the loss of his greatest creation who was built from the bitches heart, and three, bait for Daniel Cain.

"If it is all the same, which of us is a medical doctor? Now, take a seat." He filled the other cup with water, and sat the box of mixed teas and the honey down before a chair. "I doubt you want to know what killed you, but, I do know and I want to make sure you wont walk out that door..." are those his good shoes? That bitch. "and look left and die. Now, take a seat."
