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!

After talking to Claire and Lydia, Caius was literally on his way over to the shelter to personally see Margaery. Being this was now his third time back in the City, he wasn't going to simply announce his presence over the network. No there were people he respected enough to see in person and his old friend was next on his list.

But it seems she got to him first and as soon as the immortal hears Margaery's voice he spins, smiles and helps close the distance with a few steps before his arms move around her in a warm embrace.

"Ah, Margaery.." he murmurs happily, pulling back to see her face and nods. "I am. The universe seems to be having loads of fun with me these days. I was just on my way over to come see you!"

[thekittenqueen]

She held tightly to him, even as he stepped away, clinging to his arms, as though he might disappear again. She had lost him twice already, a third time might break her heart completely. He was her dearest friend, one of the few men in this city who knew her truly and understood her. When he had gone, it was as though a piece of herself had followed after him.

"Were you? I suppose our minds were focused on the same idea. I often walk this way around this time, hoping that I would see you again." She'd never given up the belief that he would come back.

"How are you? Do you remember everything?"

[solus_unus]

"As they always seem to do." Caius told her, giving her a fond smile before leaning in to kiss the top of her head. A nod follows. "I do, remarkably. Apparently it's only been about a month, but the place sent me home for two years."

She was an absolute light for him, and a comfort that bordered on what most would call a sense of home. That sense that he felt more now, than ever. Perhaps because of the decision he made back in his world and that possibility that if he left again, he may never return.

Caius was done running.

"You want to come inside? Or, we can hit up that cafe down the street?"

[thekittenqueen]

The club was thankfully empty, for the most part. The loud noises during the night weren't present and the bright lights were replaced with a more natural setting. She could at least feel comfortable as she caught up with her friend.

She nodded, following him inside without complaint or hesitation. "Two years? I can't believe that you are here. I never though I would see you again." She had given up hope, heartbroken at the prospect of Caius' disappearance.

"Do they have you back at the apartment you were in before?"

[solus_unus]

When Caius left, he was without any memory of the place. But there had been countless times when he woke up some mornings with an odd sense of familiarity; dreams that felt like he was needed somewhere, or someoneone that needed him. It made sense to him now, but at the time Caius wasn't sure what to make out of the vague, yet vivid imagery.

"That's where I woke up, yeah." he nodded, looking at her as he moved through the hall that would take them into the kitchen area. There were tables for the staff off in one corner, but Caius planned to take his dear friend to the VIP area where they could get comfortable. "But, I plan to stay upstairs again."

A beat. "Do you want some tea?"

[thekittenqueen]

She nodded as she slid onto the couch, carefully rearranging her skirts as she settled in. Her last visit to the club had been Halloween and all the chaos that brought. The noise and the lights had been too much for her. This was more pleasant, when she could listen and think and enjoy Caius' company.

"It will be nice to know that you are close once more." She admitted, smiling at him fondly. "Though I think I shall always worry about how you fare on your own."

[solus_unus]

"I have spent a long time doing pretty good with that." he half-laughed. Of course, the word 'fare' was left to debate since he was an immortal apart of a some deranged game of 'War'.

Still, it's an odd feeling having someone care enough to mention it. Not that he forgot. Margaery was always concerned and that was a show of friendship that he wished he had back in his world. It might have turned him into a different person.

As soon as they were situated he gave a small smile. "And me about you. How are you doing really?"

[thekittenqueen]

He was the closest thing she had to family in this world. He had been part of her life since her first year in the city. He protected her from danger, he comforted her when she was in pain, they had a bond that went deeper than just friendship and blood. They were connected.

She gave a small sigh, "It has been complicated since you left. I was broken after I lost my lover and you. I tried to shut myself away and feel nothing, only existing for my work. I was alone and preferred it that way. Things now, they are better than they were."
