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!

01. New Arrival. CRAU (Hello Old Friend...)

[ambitious_woman]

And there is was again.

The circling and twisting of her insides in a manner that in no way reflected her recent bouts of illness, but for all that was not unfamiliar. The discomfort itself not that which is discomforting, rather what it means.

It is different, and yet the same.

She is different, and in no way the same.

One again, the street is unfamiliar to her. And once again her clothing her armor against all she cannot yet comprehend.

Yet despite all that? She knows.

Eliot's used to seeing some pretty weird things. Even a woman walking the streets in period clothing might not have phased him, except...

...except that she isn't actually walking anywhere. She's just standing.

Even so, he almost walks by without saying anything. How do you actually start to have that conversation? With a stranger, no less? Hey, so I notice you have the look of someone who just got yanked out of everything they find familiar. Am I right?

Except. Except it would be worse to say nothing.

A few steps past her, he pauses, then turns.

"You... seem lost." Hesitant. Gently probing.

[ambitious_woman]

A voice.

But then this place had never seemed content to leave her in isolation, even when self imposed. Perhaps especially so. So very many people. Sometimes very particular ones.

The voice is not particular. At least to her. But Reinette is inclined to lend her own to it and allow them to trip along to the inevitable conclusion that is conversation.

"Not lost," she replies, still studying the horizon. "Unprepared." I state she has little patience for those she is practiced in concealing her frustration. "Surprised. Though I suppose after all this time, nothing should be able to do so."

An echo of a smile follows.

"A shortcoming that is my own." Finally she fully studies the new arrival, her posture formal but not impolite. Though she extends a hand it is not internally natural. A behavior learned late in life, perhaps. And one she presumes is still in practice here.

"Jeanne Antionette."

[thegreatestproject]

"Eliot."

When he takes her hand, it's to give it more a squeeze than a shake. He's assuming here, but she doesn't look like the handshaking type.

She also doesn't look someone who's terribly shaken up by what's just happened, which... isn't impossible. Maybe she's used to this sort of thing happening. She wouldn't be the first.

"You — did just wink into existence here, right? I'm not off-base there?"
