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!

"Well we're quick to judge, aren't we? One little bet and you've already decided that nothing makes me happy?" Lucifer scoffs. "For your information there's many things that make me happy. Bars beneath brothel's being one of them, in fact." And now that leering grin is back. He's still clearly a little ticked off, but he's playing nice, all the same. Or at least, nice for the Devil. "You'll have to tell me more about this delicious workplace of yours."

Really, she doesn't need to use up a favour to get Lucifer to come visit. This bar sounds like his kind of place. He'd probably have ended up there soon enough, even without her mentioning it to him.

"And very well, if you're so keen to spill..." he adds, leaning and looking at her with an expression of mock attentiveness. "Tell me how you cheated."

He was incredibly exasperating. "I'm not assuming anything." Except that she had been but that's hardly the point she's trying to make.

Airy huffed and decided to focus on the fact that she was wet for a little bit. She ran her fingers through her hair and flicked heavy drops of water to the pavement before wiggling her shirt and pulling out what water she could. It wasn't something she could use her magic to solve. It was too close to her skin and it made it difficult to remember what it was like before her skin was damp.

"And I am not Keen. I'm just honest." She met Lucifer's gaze and had to resist the urge to stick out her tongue at him. Sometimes, it was very difficult to act like an adult. "I used a skill of mine. I actually don't know what it's called but I figured it'd be more effective than taking all my clothes off."

"But taking your clothes off would have been so much more enjoyable, wouldn't it? Both of us doing our little streapteases in the tank, seeing who can be the most deliciously distracting. Much more fun all around."

And yet, she'd gone with her idea instead. So dissapointing.

"Well that's not an explanation, is it? 'I used a skill of mine'," he says, looking exasperated. "You might as well be saying you did a 'thing', for all the illumation that statement provides."

Airy rolled her eyes at him. "I'd rather do a stripe tease in a more private place." She let her arms fall to her sides while her dark hair curled heavily around her cheeks in wet waves. Her eyebrow rose and for a half second, she just quietly stared at Lucifer.

Really, that's what he's going with.

"Okay. How should I explain then? I am able to make things. It's a weird ability I was born with and it is very much doing a thing. I think of something and I can make it happen. I thought of you missing. I didn't visualize anything specific but something happened." She paused thoughtfully. "I enjoy making little lights when I sing or play. Everyone assumes it's special effects or something and they're always fun."

That or bubbles. Airy really liked making bubbles because who didn't like bubbles?

"Well if that's what you desire, I'm sure that could arrange," Lucifer says, with a grin that suggest that yes, mutual strip-teases are most certainly on the table, if she wishes it.

Her explanation, however, has Lucifer looking a little dubious.

"...You make things," he says. "By thinking about it." Humans don't just make things. Not out of nothing, anyway.

Airy rolled her eyes at him. "Maybe later." It wasn't a no but there were other things she wanted to focus on right now.

"And yes. That is how it works." Her weight shifted awkwardly between her heels as she looked at the small fair around them. It was a good day for it though she felt a little uneasy beneath the quizzical weight of Lucifer's stare. "I don't... really know how it works. I was just born like this." Airy had toyed with the idea that she wasn't human but she didn't really want to believe that.

"I can tell you more but I'm not sure what you want to know."

"Ah, a rain check! Of course, of course," Lucifer says, nodding to himself. "Well just say when, and your desires can be fulfilled, Little Miss Cheater."

He seems to take it utterly for granted that she of course wants a sexy strip-tease from him. The idea that someone wouldn't doesn't even cross his mind.

"And humans aren't just born being able to make things out of nothing," he says. "That's not how you work."

"That's how I work." She countered, ignoring the strip tease remark. It wasn't an argument that she really wanted to have with him. Airy was fairly sure that his ego was big enough to fuel a hot air balloon around the world in 80 days and that combating his ego was a battle that should be avoided at all costs.

"And what do you mean you."

Airy pointed at him. "What about you? How do you work?"

"I mean you, as in you humans," he says. He gestures as well to all of the people around them, as if to say, see: humans. "I'm not one, of course."

"Well then maybe I'm not human." It hurt to say that out loud. Airy had a feeling that she was more than just a human with powers. She was something entirely different but she never wanted to be born this way. It felt like a cruel joke.

"So what are you? Oh, right." Airy shook her head. "Lucifer. The devil or angel."

"Well I'm the Devil, of course," he says with a big, wide grin. Then he pauses, and adds with a small shrug: "Well, and an angel too, if you want to be pedantic about it."

He did...presently still have his wings. But only presently. He would get rid of them again soon enough.

"I think out of the two of us, you're the pedantic one." Airy held up a finger to her lips, her bright blue eyes studying him curiously. "So what's that like anyway? Being the Devil. It sounds like it'd be tiring but I don't really know. My stories might not match up with yours."

She nodded her head down a row of stands and gestured for him to follow.

"Walk and explain. It'll help us dry off."

"Perhaps another time," he says. The what's it like being the Devil conversation isn't one he feels particularly keen to have at this moment. And not one that humans usually want, come to think of it. Lucifer's not sure to make of this one asking about it in the first place.

"I think I need to get back to the seedy little hotel room that's currently serving as my accommodations and get a change of clothes," he says, before adding in a leering grin. "Though if you'd like that strip tease, you are welcome to join me."

"Maybe if I had clothes at your house but I'm going to change into something dry." She lifted her hand in a tiny wave. "See you later Lucifer. I am sure we'll run into each other again."

"I'm sure we will," he says with a sly grin, before walking off into the streets.
