Possible Scenarios 01. 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!

Tony Stark | MCU | Scenario 3

[funnythingsare]

To say he was settling in would be overstating it massively. The nightmares had only intensified since coming, sleep more and more of an illusion without Pepper's calm, mitigating presence. And Tony had, despite his reputation for playing hard, had always needed work in equal measure. Something to do, something to create, something to stamp with his own unique brand of genius. He wasn't about to bow down and declare himself a happily naturalized citizen. But hey, an invite was an invite, a party was a party, and Emperor or not it was a lot more than Tony currently had going on for himself.

So he found himself at a pretty swank do, sort of like the kind the pretentious and newly-wealthy liked to throw to prove themselves classy. Still, if there was booze, and maybe something interesting to look at on two legs, it was better than cooling his heels off in shared housing, no matter how nice it was.

"So," he said as he turned to whoever was next to him, just to have something to say, "come to inter-dimensional cities with the void often?"

[prefers_magneto]

Erik took a sip of his scotch and turned to look at the man.

"Does being here a long time count as 'often'?" he returned dryly.

Loki | MCU | Scenario 1

[thatboyisamonster]

[ Loki doesn't care where he goes, so long as it's far from home. Still, he dislikes finding himself in strange places, beyond his power.

But . . . that also makes it fun. He grins, danger and pleasure. One can always find a way to get stronger than the rest ]

[prefers_magneto]

Erik was on his way to work that morning. The unfamiliar face had something most don't when they also look so unfamiliar with the streets: confidence.

He paused as they were about to pass. Something about the strangely dressed man made him ask.

"New here?"

[thatboyisamonster]

[ He glances at him, unconcerned. He has no interest in mortals, but it seems they would have to be dealt with, regardless. ]

What gave it away?

[prefers_magneto]

Erik gave his outfit a slightly distasteful look, then met his eyes.

"Your demeanour."

[thatboyisamonster]

[ smirks, slow and full of teeth. ]

Should I congratulate your powers of observation then?

[an_openbook]

A party like this one wasn't normally Emma's preference. There was something tedious about it already, perhaps only because mingling and schmoozing while representing her workplace didn't happen where she was from. Unless you wanted to put having a beer at Granny's with her family and friends after work under that level of socialising. She didn't.

But having been in the City a little over a week and being extended the invitation she felt that obligation to devote at least a couple hours to being a 'teamplayer'. All this would have been far less torturous had Killian not had to work.

Approaching the bar, Emma made an order for a neat scotch before a moment passed and she heard the guy next to her.

Was that a pick-up line?

"First time." Emma paused. Had he said 'realms' in general, then that would have had her answering differently. "Nice starter. How's that line working for you tonight?"

[rainbow_road]

"No, mate. I don't." Tonks crinkled her nose. She shook her head a little bit. As for her drink, it was fluorescent shade of neon purple that sparkled. Her arm was on the counter. If she wasn't careful, she might knock something off.

"It's not what I do. Usually, I like to leave those kinds of pursuits to people smarter than I but this time, I wasn't given a choice. It's rubbish, if you ask me." Tony spoke to her and yes, that meant he did ask her.

"What about you?"

[rainbow_road]

[ She's just trying to make her way downtown and what does she get for it? SHe gets stuck! Okay. Okay. It's her jacket. It is a bit flappy and the sliding glass doors had been quick on the close.

Sure, she's a witch but she's not a bloke. She doesn't have to whip her wand out for every little thing. She's got this.

She gives her jacket a yoink, then a yank and a firm tug. It doesn't work. She repeats it and uses more force. It works but at a great cost.

The momentum flings her back into whatever sorry sod that happens to be behind her. Hopefully, she'll just injure herself. ]

Wanda Maximoff | MCU

[divaricate]

[#1]

Wanda is new here, and has no idea what is going on. Step one, she's decided, is figure out where this place is and how she can get back to the new Avengers facility, where she'd last remembered being. Which is definitely not where this place is.

She's walking along along until she finds either of the following: Someone who looks like they might know what's going on (she'll stop and ask them), or a place that looks like one of those welcome centers in cities - complete with maps, brochures, and all of that tourist-y stuff. As she walks, she keeps her hands close to her sides, just in case she has to quickly hit something or someone with an energy blast.

daenerys targaryen | a song of ice and fire | welcome to fight club

[stormborned]

Daenerys shields her eyes from the light of the sun; she's been unconscious for hours, perhaps even days, but now as she's dragged out in metal chains into the center of a stadium of sorts - one that reminds her all too well of Daznak's Pit in Meereen - she's quite sure she's not dreaming.

An axe is shoved into her hands, the handle made of some ungainly wood and the blade more on the dull side, and when she is instructed to fight her opponent to the death she nearly recoils in horror.

"I will be doing no such thing," she asserts to her captors, but they leave her in the center of the arena without another word. There is a crowd cheering and roaring, and amid the cacophony Dany raises her voice, tries to shout to be heard. "People! I will not subject myself to such a barbaric act, for your enjoyment...I refuse to kill another! If I am to be your evening's entertainment, then it will be as I am hacked to pieces where I stand, by my opponent!"

She throws the axe down into the dust, to prove her point; she turns her eyes heavenward not long after, hoping to catch a glimpse of black and red-veined wings amidst a plume of fire. Drogon, where are you.

[thatboyisamonster]

[ Pushed out of the way, Loki already feels the stirrings of anger. ]

Do you mind?

[rainbow_road]

[ As far as collisions go, Tonks has had worse. She pulls herself to her feet and dusts herself off. ]

Sorry about that, these doors seem to have a mind of themselves. You alright?

Fetch Walker | inFAMOUS: Second Son | Scenario 1 + 6

[neongirl]

Over the course of a week, drug dealers started showing up dead in the streets of The Red Lantern District, the name 'Brent' carved into their chests with in glowing neon. Just a few here or there, but enough to start drawing attention to it. Entire stashes were burnt to dust, tagged with drawn warnings of the Grim Reaper.

Two more bodies were laid out in the back alley of a brothel in warning. More would die unless they stopped preying on the weak and helpless.

Who was doing this? It had to be someone new to the area, obviously...and that someone was taking the moment to pick pocket some money off a few Johns, too drunk to walk a straight line, let alone notice a few bills missing.

[thatboyisamonster]

I'll live.

[ He scrutinizes her. Odd. Loki senses magic ]

[prefers_magneto]

"If you do, I'm going to question the sort of company you keep where you're from."

[prefers_magneto]

Erik stops when she speaks.

"I take it you're new."

[prefers_magneto]

He was leaning in the doorway of her building when she approached it. The expression on his face was inscrutable.

"I hear you have... talent."

[prefers_magneto]

Her opponent never came. Instead, a metallic hum filled the air and one of the gates along the perimeter of the arena burst open. He appeared through the dust.

"This way," he told her. "Run."

[neongirl]

Fetch looked at the man blocking her path and scowled. All she wanted was to take her meager groceries up to her room.

"Clean your ears. You heard wrong." She quipped, pushing past him without little care. "I don't do guys for money."

[prefers_magneto]

He snorted.

"Me either."

When she pushed past him, she'd find the door wouldn't open.

[neongirl]

She pushed on the door and found it wouldn't budge. Okay, that was odd. With this guy here, she couldn't bust the lock open with her powers. That was fine. She'd just go around back and go up the side of the building.

"Seems like I forgot something. Excuse me."

[prefers_magneto]

He walked alongside her.

"If you're going to hide some evidence, I'd suggest leaving neon messages sort of undermined the point of that."

[neongirl]

Now this dude was following her! He had some real nerve, and she was going to let him know that, until he opened his mouth.

Shit. He was a cop.

"Like I said, clean your ears. You heard wrong." She repeated with a bit more force.
