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!

It's in those ten seconds that Claire decides she'd rather die than give in to what the men wanted from her. She was outnumbered and despite all her training with Colleen, it wasn't enough. Not when she couldn't catch her breath and one of the men was pulling her face up by grabbing a handful of hair to take what was coming.

But then there's a voice -- a distantly familiar one -- and the sound of glass shattering before Claire is pulled to her feet and held against the wall with his hand clamped on her throat firmly.

"You need to mind your own business, man," he tells Matt. "Turn around and walk away or you can watch me shove a knife into this pretty woman's throat."

Matt can smell the blood starting to ooze out of the man's head, dripping a little down the side of his ear. He can also smell the web of glass shards that now surrounded them, some of the pieces colored with that same blood.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

He puts his hands up, knowing full well that it's only to make the other men feel better about themselves.

"That bottle I just hit you with? The alcohol had Lust mixed inside it." It didn't. Matt is 99.9% sure it's just normal alcohol. "It probably stings on your head, where you're bleeding?" Because that's just how it would normally feel. "It means the Lust is getting into your blood stream. I'm guessing you've got ten minutes before it starts liquifying your organs." Now, that's an actual fact about Lust, but only in high dosages.

Hands still up, he takes a few, slow steps forward, masking it with gestures of pointing at Claire. "She's a nurse. I saw her at the hospital earlier. She could save you." And when Matt stops walking, there's the sound of crushed glass beneath his feet. Exactly where he wants to be.

Standing on her tiptoes, both of Claire's hands go to grab the man's wrist; a vain attempt to try and keep him from tightening his hold, but also keep his fingers below the points that would cut off her airway completely. She wasn't ready to surrender to this being it for her, but she was scared and panic was beginning to take over.

Then Matt starts talking and her eyes flash over towards his silhouette, unable to really know for sure if the voice was really his over the static of activity and pain. She can't help but doubt that it is until he continues and when he does Claire is able to hear Matt speaking more to her than the guy who had her by the throat.

All she can do is nod frantically to confirm he was right, even while he pulls his knife out.

"I'll take my chances," the guy answers back while the other two that were with him look on in worry. They seem to know first hand what Lust can do and all this wasn't apart of the plan. So, they begin to inch away while the knife moves towards Claire's neck and she lets out a terrified cry.
