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!

John stayed quiet, looking up at the ceiling above while he felt the tiny pop of the needle going through his skin and then the pull of the thread before it was knotted and snipped. "Universal," he mumbled, trying to keep awake because he suddenly seemed that tired. But that was to be expected given what happened before getting to that precise moment.

He looked back over at the makeshift lab. "I was thinking it looked more like something in a Frankenstein movie. No offence."

A pause. "So what chemicals are you testing?"

Herbert nodded as he nudged his glasses back up with the back of his wrist to not contaminate John's wound. Quietly stitching with accurate precision. "Good, We can get some blood in you once I am done. I luckily have some on hand. ONe can never be too prepared." He muttered while he worked. His focus on the wound. Even if he doubted this man could pay him, he would find a way to be repaid in time. It was just smart business.

"...None taken, but I promise it is nothing like that." Oh, it was EXACTLY like that. "It is merely a reagent to help revitalize the body, to curb the need for sleep as well. Which may sound bad, but I hope once its done to help people with it." He wanted to defeat death but if he said that he knew he would be viewed as a crackpot.

Payment would definitely come around, sooner rather than later, as far as John was concerned. Where he was used to paying in gold marks, he was aware this place would be different and that a job would need to be lined up for money until..

Did they even send people back?

The explanation got John lifting his brows in interest. He'd try the stuff, as long as it was tested on someone else first. It sounds intriguing, especially the revitalizing the body part. But that's the old man in him that kept saying "You're too old to be doing this shit, John".

John closed his eyes and after a long minute passed (he was still breathing), he nodded slowly.

"That'll sell pretty well, I think."

Clearly, losing as much blood as he did was much more obvious now.

Herbert didn't really care about money much either. His job paid well. He would find a way to get payment but in a different way. Probably in blood or bodies. Herbert wasn't even as old as John but he doesnt sleep enough for the things he does. The Reagent is more than half the reason he is still alive. He lived off his own formula.

"I don't intend to sell it. Once it is complete if it does what it should do, it should be free to the masses. If I merely wanted to be rich I would just release it as is and give the world something better than energy drinks. The problem is, at its current state it is highly addictive, it does all I say besides what it was supposed to." He explained as he stitched. "Alas most medication started with other purposes." He replied as he pushed up once a row was done. "Stay awake." He sat the gun on the table as it was awkward, pulled off his gloves and went to get the blood and a set up to get John refilling. Returning a moment to get a vein.
