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!

When Laing turns to look more fully at his conversation partner, the friendly smile on his face falters. Those eyes and teeth are, well. Something else. He has the sudden sense he's staring down a lion, or some other beast higher up on the predatory hierarchy.

But the predator is, for the moment, addressing him as an equal. Laing turns back to his drink and takes an initial, fortifying sip.

"No doubt his attention would be in high demand." He has questions he would pose of the Emperor himself, should he get the chance. "So many displaced from the worlds they knew."

The stranger might be surprised to learn that 'lion' was not so far off. Half of his appearance was illusion anyway, he could easily make himself appear more human, but until he saw a necessity, he was more than content to show off.

Laing's momentary pause doesn't go unnoticed and makes his smile curl a little further.

"If he even does rule this place," Tez had his doubts. He'd known many emperors, most were found wanting. But the stranger's words pique his curiosity,"Are you one of these 'displaced'?"

And here he'd thought suddenly waking up in this strange city was somehow his brother's doing. Interesting.

"Quite recently," Laing acknowledges, taking in the room as if he's still uncertain how real it all is — perhaps as an excuse not to have to meet those eyes for too long.

"The transition has been somewhat jarring."
