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!

Erik sees the... man? climbing and raises himself onto the roof. By the time the Creature reaches the top, Erik is waiting.

"That's a different way to get up here," he notes. "What are you doing?"

[isthistheregion]

The Creature had meant no intrusion. That was part of the point of scaling the wall, rather than going inside. Under other circumstances, he might have said so. Just now, he is too on edge, too suspicious of his surroundings.

"What business is it of yours what I do, sir?"

He annunciates each word carefully, to make up for the limited control he has over his mouth. The result is intelligible, but muddy, as if he's been anesthetized.

[prefers_magneto]

"I'm the Chief of Police. Do you live in this building?" Erik responded.

[isthistheregion]

The title was somewhat different than what he was used to, but the words themselves were understood. Chief. Police.

"You are a person of some authority here," he recognized, giving Erik another wary eye. But it was an acceptable explanation.

"I do not live in this building. I had only hoped to gain a better view of this place." He swept one hand in front of himself, indicating the city. "The buildings are so tall, I cannot see past them."

[prefers_magneto]

"Did you just arrive?" Erik asked.

[isthistheregion]

"I awoke in a room I have never seen before," the Creature explained. "This — city —" because by now, he has seen cities, although they did not look like this, "— is dark and dirty. Not like Gebo. This does not seem to be the way of the Nysgods. I wish to know where I am."

[prefers_magneto]

'Gebo'. 'Nysgods'. He'd heard those words before, though he hadn't lived them. Not this version.

"You're from that ship."

[isthistheregion]

"What ship?" There had been a ship, after the Temple, but that had been some time ago. "I was in a place known as the Wyld."

[prefers_magneto]

He didn't know the ship, but he knew that place. He wasn't there long enough? Hard to say when he knew so little.

"There are some people here who lived there."
