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!

Erik was not dressed for a party. In fact, the only reason he was in the Tower district at all was to walk from his flat in the Coliseum District to the one he shared with Devi in the Gardens of Pleasure. His shift had been early in the morning and he took the opportunity of finishing early in the afternoon to go to his assigned flat and finish taking apart the makeshift wood stove he'd built during the recent ice over.

It was evening when he was on his way back to the Gardens and there must have been a party going on, because everyone was heading through the district in fancy suits. He kept his head down, sticking to his path, and almost bumped into a man dressed in black.

He looked the guy over. Didn't recognize him.

"Excuse me," he said, though it didn't sound at all like 'I'm sorry'.

Near collisions happen, but for John they are usually a staged maneuver to get close enough to put a few bullets into his torso. Maybe even try and jab a knife into his neck. So when it happens and he looks at Erik with wide, anticipating eyes, it's not because he's paranoid. It's because he's ready.

When it's clear nothing is going to happen, John nods slowly.

"No problem," he replied, with about as much sincerity as Erik gave him.

Erik gets a better look at the man as he steps back.

"You don't look like a local. Are you new?"

He glances towards the Tower, then at John's attire. "I'd guess you are if you're accepting their hospitality."

John was halfway turned when Erik spoke again and he glanced back.

"You can say that," he replies, giving the Tower a quick look, too. "Apparently you're not if you can spot a new face in a big City like this."

[prefers_magneto]

"It's not as big as it seems, but no. I'm not new." He glanced at the Tower again. "If you're going to go in there, just know that it's the viper's nest. Trust nothing."

John narrowed a look at Erik.

"Oh? Why's that?"
