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!

"More arms to hug," Diana said with a shrug. She didn't really know a lot about octopi, but the toys seemed cute. And one of them was purple, her signature color.

Anyway, it wasn't really about the toys.

She gave him a sideways glance. "Interesting that you think I'm classy," she added. "I appreciate the compliment, but to tell you the truth, fancy restaurants really aren't my scene. Like going places where you could dance."

And there was also the fact that she couldn't eat food, but no point in going into that.

[takesallthestupid]

Distracted from the toys (he was easily distracted when there was a beautiful gal on his arm), Bucky looked over at Diana and gave a half-smile, his eyes lighting up. "Dancing, huh? That's definitely more my style, too. We should go, sometime," he added with a charming, full grin, that just promised mischief and a very good time. It wasn't innuendo, though - although he could mean it like that as well - Bucky just honestly enjoyed dancing. Especially swing-dancing.

"Course yer classy," he added with a negligent wave of his hand, as if it were obvious. "Anyone can see that, no matter what kinda things you enjoy." She may be dressed differently than anyone he'd encountered before, but her poise and bearing spoke of being raised in refinement; there was also something in her speech, the way she chose the words she did, that spoke of class.

[diana_abel]

If only her mother was around to hear that. Lilith York would have been delighted beyond words with the notion that her daughter had class and breeding.

Of course, ten years as a companion to a Countess would do that. But it was centuries in the past, a past Diana didn't like to think about all that much.

And she wasn't much for thinking about the future, either. But at the moment, one particular thought brought her a giddy flutter of excitement. "I do believe you just asked me out, soldier," she said, the corner of her mouth turning up.

[takesallthestupid]

Living in the moment was definitely a sentiment Bucky understood well, and ascribed to himself.

Laughing a little, he gave her a boyish grin that somehow managed to be bashful and slightly sinful at the same time. "Caught that, didya? Sure. We'll go out, do a bit a dancin'... An' then, maybe... a bit a dancin'..." Bucky glanced away for a second, almost a little embarrassed he'd said that line.

[diana_abel]

Oh, he was adorable. Or very good. Or maybe both. Both was always a possibility, especially in a place like this.

But at any rate, two could play at that game.

She smiled demurely, lowering her lashes just slightly. "As it happens," she said. "I love dancing. And...dancing."

And she was very good at both.

"But there is one thing you should know," she added, leaning close to let her lips hover over his ear. "I have an extremely overprotective sister. So we'll have to be careful."

In all reality, the odds of Selene actually caring what or who Diana did were slim to none. But there had been a time when she'd gone after more than one of Diana's beaus with a baseball bat. And Diana hated it to her core to admit it, but there was something a little thrilling about doing something...forbidden.

[takesallthestupid]

The grin he got when she said she loved dancing, lessened a bit as Diana leaned in and warned him about her overprotective sister. Bucky glanced over at her, almost in confusion. "I've heard'a overprotective brothers before... but never sisters..."

Well. There had been that one time with Maggie and Susan Malone... but that had had more to do with both of them being sweet on him - it hadn't been so much about stopping him, as it had been fighting over him. This... sounded different. And a little ominous, if he was being completely honest.

"Okay," he finally said, still watching her, maybe a little more seriously than before. "Can't really go out an' have a good time if we're watchin' over our shoulders the whole time. Any suggestions?"

[diana_abel]

It hadn't exactly had the desired effect, but that was fine. Anyway, Diana had people. "Misdirection," she replied. Oldest trick in the book. "I have a couple of friends who can keep her occupied. Besides, she hates dancing."

The former kind, anyway. Selene was a fan of the latter.

Hence her four kids from her mortal life.

"You leave that part to me. Your job is planning the rest."
