Possible Scenarios01. A New Arrival: You've just arrived in the City of Sin with nothing but the clothes on your back and a very strange sense of having been displaced. Thankfully, you don't appear to be alone. Here's hoping that person passing by is helpful, and doesn't plan on mugging you or something!
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. Maybe you'll find someone who can help you fight off that shadowy thing that's creeping towards you!
03. Party Hard: You've been invited to a massive, elegant party at the Tower by someone who calls themselves the Emperor. Obviously that's weird, but maybe you can get some free drinks and food out of it! This place might not be so bad.
04. Prominence: People have been telling you all about the City influencing your thoughts and feelings. You’re finally getting to experience that. One of the sins is in prominence, and you’re feeling the force of it fully.
05. Welcome to Fight Club: You’ve been dragged unwillingly into the Coliseum and told to fight some of your fellow Chosen to the death. Are you willing to comply? Or would you rather sacrifice yourself
06. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure!

He assumed that was what Dorian would want. After all, it was what he wanted to.
"I doubt that they just leave that lying around, but if you're anything like the Dorian Pavus I know, that wouldn't stop you." The only acknowledgement that Cyril had his own Dorian back home.
He stops at the bar that Draco partly owns and puts his hand on the door. "Here it is. Be aware that it can be a bit overwhelming at first." Draco had a nice place, but it still was in this world with all of its overwhelming technology and variety of choices of alcohol.

"It would, wouldn't it? I suppose you'd like to crib from my notes?" His tone was approving. Playing to his strengths and having those strengths acknowledged made him almost as happy as flirting. Happier given the flow of this conversation.

Cyril leads the way to the bar and orders a wine that he knows Dorian will like.
"I will also warn you, a lot of the food here is... different. They have what you might expect, bread, cheese, fruits, but they also have these processes which made the food taste rather artificial and didn't agree with me at all." Then, after a moment, "You'll also notice almost everything is cleaner than Thedas usually is. Sometimes to the point where it seems shiny and unnatural. Even Orlais' endless scrubbing from elven servants can't really compare."
The wine comes and he passes one of the glasses over to Dorian. "We can start with the wine though."
Despite the fact that he had said he would dump Dorian off on someone else, he finds he can't really bring himself to leave Dorian's side. As always, he feels like an odd pull towards the mage. Even the knowledge that this wasn't his Dorian couldn't quite pull him away.

He gently swirled the wine to smell it and took a careful sip. "That is very nice," said the man with no discernible palate.

Then, after a moment. "Sadly, they have no ham which tastes of despair."

"As you've been studying the local culture, what are the biggest taboos?" He wouldn't hesitate to break them but it was better to do so in knowledge than ignorance.

He paused for a moment and grew more serious. "People do have a habit of disappearing. Fenris believes that the city is using them to power their magic. I would like to get to the bottom of that as well. Draco lost his husband that way."
no subject
"That is sinister," Dorian frowned. He would want to help with that. People vanishing was never a good thing in his experience. "Also difficult to prove or disprove without bodies."
no subject
"Some have memories of being brought here, returning home, and then being brought back - so it may be possible."
no subject
He squinted. "Were the ones sent home troublemakers?"

Dorian sighed happily at the thought. "Cullen would be excellent company as well. Though likely less useful, true."

"The reason the Keeper sent me to the Conclave was because of my recklessness. I think she wanted me to get out of her hair for a bit. If I existed she'd probably still send me." Then, after a moment. "Who knows, maybe I tried to seduce the wrong bandit and died."
no subject
"We can hope it was a stunning death. With flare."

It also seemed that he and Ellana had been sent to the Conclave for similar reasons - to figure out what was happening to the mages and templars. Though he had been sent precisely because he wasn't a mage, and because his restlessness had caused tension between him and his clanmates.
"Lots of flare and possibly a bit of nudity."
