Possible Scenarios 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 chruning 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, filing 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 at the Tower that spills out it's doors in welcome, 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: The City of Sin influences it's 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 choice of 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? Villian. 06. Carnival: The City has carnivals or festivals now and then; you're lucky to catch one! With it's 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. Wild Card: Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

"This seems like fun to you, does it? I take it you fight demons of some sort where you come from, then, if you're not fazed by it," Erik suggested.

[hesnohero]

"No, actually, that was a turn of phrase. I said it used to be far less fun. The powers. I used to have to wear a full body containment suit. As far as demons, my life has generally been fighting some damn threat or another, in more than one world, since I was a kid." He sighed and grinned, both, then fully turned to the other man.

"The name's Alex Summers, also known as Havok in some universes. In mine, I was never fond of that name."

[prefers_magneto]

"Alex Summers?" Erik said, frowning in faint confusion. "I know Alex Summers. You don't...look like him." He gave him a slightly appraising look. "I'm Erik Lehnsherr."

[hesnohero]

"The multiverse tends to alter things from universe to universe." And Alex paused at that name, then eyed the other man, and slowly nodded, eyes more guarded, but still not unfriendly.

"Well, that explains that. Just out of curiosity, in your universe, were you ever Max?" He held up a hand. "IN some universes, there is one who was, and in some, he, or you, were not." He chuckled. "This multiverse thing gets easier to deal with as time goes on."

For a moment he closed his eyes, and concentrated, and his image would seem to flicker, for a moment, revealing, just for a second, the form of he Alex that this Eric was used to. Then he was back to normal and opening his eyes.

[prefers_magneto]

"Max? No." His considered Alex warily for a moment, eyes narrowing a little when he assumed the ghost of a familiar form...and then changed back.

"How many times have you traveled?" he asked, then gestured towards him. "And how did you do that?"

[hesnohero]

"Good. Then you are a very different man than my dream self's world's Magneto." Alex smiled. "Well, twice, now, including this world, as myself, but the person who's memories I have from dreams has bounced around multiple worlds."

Alex chuckled. "So in a way, this is old hat for me." He nodded to Erik, which was going to be hard to think of calling him.

"You?"

Then he nodded again. "I have my dream self's powers, and he is a Nexus of Reality, so I am too. I can sometimes summon the image of alternate selfs to cover my own, as get a glimpse of their realities."

[prefers_magneto]

"You can see their realities?" A pause. "Is that how you know which one I'm from?"

[hesnohero]

"Sometimes, rarely. It's not something I can control, most of the time." He blinked, then shook his head. "I just know that most Alexes look like me, or very close to me. Some do not, and so far, those I've encountered only come from one. The one where the Alex I showed you came from. While there are infinite universes, it seems some are more likely, or closer to one another, than others."

He chuckled. "It can be headache inducing."
