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!

Luke Skywalker | Star Wars OT

[neverjoinyou]

01. A New Arrival

Luke's in little danger of being mugged.

Though he might seem an apt target--slight, floppy hair, big eyes, young--his awareness of his surroundings goes beyond normal, and naturally he's even more on the alert now. While his lightsaber isn't in his hand, he has an intense awareness of where that is, too, dangling from his belt. The weight of his blaster is, however, missing, and that's slightly unnerving.

Not that he's looking to use it.

No, he'd much rather figure out what he's doing here, and get out. Get back. He has things to do, the fringes of an Empire to wipe out, the knowledge of the ancient Jedi to recover. He doesn't have time for this.

It's different since he changed. He used to surmise when people were new by their bearing, their body language... now he knows.

He considers the young man for a moment.

"You think you're lost. You're not. You're supposed to be here."

[neverjoinyou]

Luke turns, facing the other man. Human, he thinks, though there's a strange energy surrounding him. And normally, he wouldn't be prying. But too much has happened lately, and this situation is too new and too uncertain for him to leave any of his senses behind.

"I think you've mistaken me for someone else," he says. "I know where I'm supposed to be. It's not... here."

[prefers_magneto]

"That's what you think," Erik notes. "But this place gets ahold of people. What you left behind will still be there when you go back."

A beat.

"If you go back."

He was working on a way to...not. He hoped.

[aces_and_eights]

The kid was taking a meandering path to the bar. One part to clear his head, the other part to re-acquaint himself with the City. A cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, fingers lazily tucked into his pockets.

Yea, the place still sucked.

Then he spotted the out of place blonde haired guy. Big eyes, a cautious look about him.

Ah hell..

Ace changed his course a bit to cross the other man's path.

"You're new aren't you? " The cig now casually in between his fingers. Unconsciously taking the measure of the guy.

Diana was on her way to a party. She was dolled up in her noisiest ensemble, bracelets rattling against one another, sequins clinking off of her gold gown. She would much rather have been going home, however. The whole thing was Eliot's idea. He was desperate to play her wingman and she couldn't seem to get it into his head that she'd tried the whole 'casual encounters' thing before and it just...wasn't for her.

But there was no arguing with Eliot.

Maybe there would be dancing. If nothing else, she loved the chance to dance. And Hell seemed made for parties.

It was weird.

As she hurried down the sidewalk, though, someone on the other side of the street caught the corner of her eye. For a second, her breath stopped and she felt like the world had become viscous. She was walking through the wax in a lava lamp, thick as memory. But then she turned and realized that she didn't recognize the stranger.

Weird...

Leia blinked and suddenly she was standing right next to Luke. She looked around stunned, her blaster pulled out. Luckily she didn't fire or she would have realized that it didn't work. That realization would have made this whole situation worse.

"Luke?" Leia spoke softly, her eyes finally falling on her brother. She had just been in his arms welcoming him back after his defeat of the Emperor, and suddenly they were here. "Where are we?"

[neverjoinyou]

Luke shook his head. One moment he was there, now he was here. One moment alone in a sea of pedestrians, now with Leia at his side. His hand drifted to his lightsaber, ready to defend them. His senses, too, drifted outward, monitoring the immediate area, ready to protect Leia.

"I don't know," he said. The cityscape was, apart from a few brief and fraught Alliance missions, more urban than anyplace he'd spent time in. "You okay?"
