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!

It was nighttime of course, the only time where Matthew could walk the streets, much less stand upright and he, his well fitting suit and his cane were far too clean and comfortable for the hour it was.

Despite being a vampire, the man held a glow of health and color, though it did nothing for his lack of heartbeat or the earthy smell most animal associated with death, and the smile he wore as he stops a few feet away was a friendly, charming one.

"It's not quite Oz either," he offered in his muddled English/French accent. "I don't suppose we're lucky enough to have the irony of you being named Dorothy?"

She starts at the voice, offering a few owlish blinks to the man. "I ah..." A beat and shake of the head. "'m afraid not. Trust me, I'm not that exciting." Perhaps he seems a bit off, but in Charlotte's mind, no more 'off' than any other person she might have just met randomly on the street in the night.

And Charlotte? No less a late twentysomething in Converse sneakers, well-loved bluejeans, and a t-shirt with the Greek letter 'Sigma' on it. Her accent is reasonably nondescript, though someone from the Midwest might pick up on the occasional and soft Chicago vowel push. "You're not Toto, right?" A poor attempt at humor, but it's the best she's got at present.

"Do I look like a Terrier?" He grinned.

"My name is Matthew," he said, sticking out his hand for the shaking, and, assuming she takes it, continues with -"And I find that most beautiful women who say that just haven't found the right perspective."

"Believe it or not, I've seen stranger things." She should know. She is one of those stranger things, but there's no real point in admitting it. Best for all involved.

Charlotte takes his hand in a firm handshake and a 'polite as I can possibly be in the weirdness of the situation' smile, but can't quite help the bubbled up laughter at his compliment. We won't talk about the flush of pink in those cheeks.

"Charlotte, and I'm--" Chucklesnerk. "--I'm really sorry, but you don't really believe that, do you?" Because people do not tell Charlotte these things. And those who do? Usually aren't up to anything good.

"I don't doubt it." He doubted it but was too much of a gentleman, not to mention a tasteful kind of man, to question such things on a first meeting. Of course, her question in return made him laugh.

"Everyone can be exciting, don't you think? The world would be terribly boring otherwise. Beauty being the only qualifier is garbage but the rest.." He grinned brashly. "I do."

"I think it depends on what a person thinks of as 'exciting'." She shrugs lightly, taking a glance around at their surroundings. "For instance, I find that coding a new program is exciting. I don't know too many other people that do." The bafflement of her displacement when she should be at home and in bed (or home, at least) feels a little like riding a coaster in her gut without all the fun attached to it.

Charlotte turns back to Matthew. So maybe she feels a little bad for not being entirely charming or otherwise engaging, but this is a serious issue. Serious, Matthew. "So, where are we, exactly? Pretty sure I'm not dreaming, but I've been wrong before."

((ooc: your muselist! Cuthbert! AHHH! ♥ Dark Tower))

"You're a programmer then." Akin to geniuses, he'd found, quirky and unpredictable and wholly useful to a man who understood it all perhaps less then he should.

"No, you're not dreaming-" He'll refrain from proclaiming himself her dream man, even his ego isn't that large. "-We're in a place they call the City. Descriptive, I know. I'm afraid I can't tell you more then that. There's isn't anything to know. No hints as to where the city is, or what planet this is on. But the animities are nice; they import."

((OOC: I love the Dark Tower.. but I don't have a Cuthbert xD))

Programmer, hacker. Same difference, but she isn't going to push the topic too hard and simply grins with a roll of a shoulder in a shrug. "You could say that."

A city. The City, it would seem. Nothing from where she stands really leaps out at her in terms of what makes it particularly special other than the fact that Matthew looks to be an implant, much like she is. "Well, not starving to death is a bonus, I suppose. Any reason as to why we're here at all? No 'Hey, thanks for coming on such short notice' letter?"

((As I realize I am dumb and had looked at your CR list. Derp. But yes. DARK TOWER AAAAH!))
