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!

"With ease. It's a very rare sort of talent. You have to have control over your mind like nothing else," he chuckled, smirking a little. "I've known people to try it, only to fail miserably. They simply couldn't compartmentalise the right way. It's not as effortless as telepathy, I don't think."

[likeafire]

"It's a shame the Professor isn't here. He'd love to hear about your mind ability." She stated fondly.

If only she knew.

[alphaophiuchi]

There was only one man who was ever referred to with as the Professor commonly (ish) and with such fondness. "Charles Xavier, you mean? He is here."

[likeafire]

Well, that was surprising and convenient. "He is? I didn't sense him."

[alphaophiuchi]

Terribly convenient. More students. Always a good thing, really. Hopefully.

"Well, I couldn't tell you why that might be, but he was here when I woke up this morning," Draco merely explained, offering a very casual shrug.

[likeafire]

"Is he okay?" She asked, concerned. After everything that had happened, she was worried that the Professor wasn't completely fine.

[alphaophiuchi]

"Generally speaking," he replied with a quick blink, one that came from mild surprise. Of course, he probably needn't be surprised; it certainly followed that if there was another telepath out there, there would be some closeness. "Everyone's always got their bad days around here, but...I'd say his aren't too bad."

[likeafire]

"No, I mean," She started and then stopped in frustration. "Something almost happened to him, almost lost himself. Is he okay?"

[alphaophiuchi]

He'd hesitated to broach that topic, unsure when and where she'd been from. But given that she'd been the one to mention it, Draco felt a little more certain he could open up. At least a little bit. "He's all right. It was a shock to the system, obviously, but I got him home. He just needs a bit of time, I'm sure."

[likeafire]

The Professor would need time to heal, but she was worried about the state of his mind. She had felt what he had, knew how close he'd come to losing himself.

Since Draco seemed to close to him now, he would be the best person to ask. "Can I see him?"

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco thoughtfully tongued the back of his teeth, then tentatively nodded. "I suppose so. In the meantime, you can tell me a little more about yourself, so I'm not bringing here wandering around with a perfect stranger."

[likeafire]

"There isn't much to say about me." She stated, brushing her hair back with her fingers. "But I'm a student at the Professor's school."

[alphaophiuchi]

"I gathered that much. But I never got a name out of you," he replied, partly teasing. A smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. "The school's nice? Teaches you all sorts of useful things?"

[likeafire]

"Oh. I'm Jean Grey." She replied, giving him another small smile. "And yeah, it's nice. It's like a normal school except with powers."

[alphaophiuchi]

"A pleasure to meet you," he told her genuinely, his smirk growing wider, into a bit of a smile. "That does sound nice, actually. Well done, Charles. I'm Draco, by the way. Draco Malfoy-Xavier."

[likeafire]

It took a moment for the last name to sink in, and for once in her life, she wished she could see into his mind. With the intimate nature in which he knew the Professor, she had the feeling they were together.

"I didn't know the Professor was married." She said, feeling a little shocked and dumb at the same time. "I mean, I didn't know he even had anyone."

[alphaophiuchi]

There was clear fondness in the smile that pulled at Draco's features, and he chuckled, shrugging a little. "We got married here. And met here, actually, so that's not terribly surprising. You couldn't have known."

[likeafire]

"Yeah, but he's alone back home." She argued with a slight frown. "He's never mentioned it, and I've never felt it."

[alphaophiuchi]

"Mm," he hummed, smile faltering a little. "Well, that doesn't surprise me, from what he's told me. And I'll admit, it's a little sad. He's well worth being with. People in your world are clearly missing out."

[likeafire]

It didn't take a psychic to realize this topic was becoming much too painful, so it was best to switch gears. "Have I passed the test?" She asked.

[alphaophiuchi]

It was simply that Draco wished he could go back to Charles' world and fill that hole in his life. It wasn't like he had much to go home to, not for a good few years.

"Which test's that?"

[likeafire]

"The one where I get to see him." She replied, if not a bit coolly. There were so many reasons to be worried about Charles. "You wanted to know more, and I've told you."

[alphaophiuchi]

"Oh yes," he mused, recalling that. His smile returned, albeit faintly. "With flying colours. We live in Leisurebrook."

With that, a little gesture was made for her to follow him.

[likeafire]

That was a relief and it showed. She let out a breath, and moved to follow behind Draco. The scary thing was, a part of her wanted to see how far she could push to find the information out other ways.
