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!

Oh, the immortal is already a half step ahead of his pirate friend and walking towards the end of the bar to do just. It's a good, friendly hug and when Caius pulls back he keeps Killian's shoulders.

"Well, I'm back but I hardly think I want to see anything here. Look at this place, man." Caius remarked and followed it with a whistle as he took a step back and shoved his hands back in his pocket. "I'm impressed."

[seekingcrocodile]

"It took a lot of work, but I made it happen." And now he's got someone to share it with again, even if it's not the person he most would have wanted. "Would you like a drink? You won't find this many rum options anywhere else in the city."

In case that makes a difference.

[solus_unus]

"Damn rights, I do." Caius accepted without hesitation.

While Killian went to pour, the Roman walks over to one of the barstools, shrugging out of his leather jacket before setting it on the stool next to the one he sits on.

"So, I've been told it's only been a month since I left. What sort of things have you been up to other than running your own business?"

[seekingcrocodile]

He goes back behind the bar and sets down a couple of glasses, then grabs a bottle of his favorite rum, which he pours them both a measure of. His face tightens before he speaks, like he's trying to hold back anger or some other emotion. "Emma left. She disappeared not long after you did."

That's really all he's been doing since Caius left.

[solus_unus]

No sooner than the words left his lips, any trace of a smile was lost and Caius' brow pinched in obvious sympathy.

"I'm so sorry, man." he said quietly. Fingers wrapped around the tumbler, but the immortal didn't drink yet. "So basically you've been burying yourself in this place. I know it probably doesn't mean much, given, but this is my third time back. Don't lose hope. She might come back."

[seekingcrocodile]

"Aye, perhaps she will." He's trying not to get his hopes up too much in case she never comes back, but that doesn't mean he's not hoping at least a little that she'll make her way here again. "I did have plenty of time to focus on this though." It helps that it wasn't associated with a lot of memories of her. He had somewhere he could go to escape them.

[solus_unus]

All Caius could do is nod. He'd been through enough loss to distance himself from it altogether. Another fact of life. People left and people died. No, Emma hadn't died, but it had to have felt like she did to his friend. And that was where the Roman showed his support.

"That's true. It'll keep you busy going forward, too." Caius remarked, taking a small drink.

[seekingcrocodile]

"Aye, and I get in less trouble when I'm kept busy." Caius ought to know. He was there when Killian got in those bar fights, and he hadn't been particularly busy at that point. "It gives me a reason to go outside, too."

[solus_unus]

Caius was in part the instigator in said bar fights. Well, kind of. Mostly indirectly. So, yes, he knew rather well.

"Nothing wrong with that. You know what they say: All work and no play. Speaking of.. did you go to that Halloween bash at OHM? I heard there's a new magistrate in town."

[seekingcrocodile]

"I did, and there is." He's never really talked to Erik, or at least not about much, so he has no opinions on the matter in that way. What he wants to know is how someone who's not a native of this place ended up as a Magistrate. "There was some kind of monster who killed the previous one."
