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!

His attempts at protest are perhaps a little more adorable than he means them to be. She’d been there, after all. “There’s bound to be somewhere here that would allow you to practice, if you so chose. If you wanted.” There’s... a lot, here. All well beyond the likes they’d seen in Rome. Or at home. A place for practicing with firearms would not be unreasonable to find.

“It’s possible that there is no reason. Not like there was in Rome.” They had agreed to that, even though it had been an agreement made while dreaming. They had still agreed.”Perhaps it’s just happenstance. Or a mistake. Or for some reason the Romans’ gods thought that we were needed here.” She frowns. “Or something about the City interfered with them sending us home.”

And she’s not certain how she feels about that possibility. “Left to fend for ourselves once more.” That’s.... more familiar than she likes. Rome had been the first time she’d had...people there to watch her back. Friends. That were truly hers, and not merely associating with her because of her brother. People that she trusted. It had spoiled her. But it’s not the same as before, as Whitestone. Not quite. She’s a different person, now. And there is a friend here, with her. There’s James.

His hand is warm on hers and she is far more aware of it, of him, that she by all rights should be.

His protests aren't meant to be found adorable at all, and he'd probably be even more flustered at the thought that she finds him so. But this is all very much out of his comfort zone, very much different from the mortal societal rules he lives by. In Rome with at least some familiar with the navy and it's ways he could lean heavily on protocol, he could cling to what was known to be real by several others.

Cassandra hits on a very real fear. A fear of being left alone. Not even at the end of a very long chain of command from London and the Admiralty. Not one from the gods. Here they are alone. And worse, they have no purpose. James has never lived without purpose and the very concept is alien to him. He feels suddenly uncertain of the future and his place within it.

"No. There must be a reason we are here even if it is not immidiately apparent." He has not yet been here long enough to make a judgement but the place seems squalid and in need of a firm hand, someone to deal with the depravity of the place. Rome had its problems, it had its corruption but it had still be a great place, a beautiful place. This city could be so too.

"I am sure we will find a reason to be here, some good that we can do until we can find our way... back." Back to where, he isn't sure.
