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!

Now that was just baffling. Draco had been more than ready to launch into some rant defending himself and his choices, only to find that all the words were lost before he could even start. In fact, the surprise of Harry's offer resulted only in Draco gaping at him, blinking grey eyes as though regarding someone with a second head. It was, to say the least, flooring.

"I-" was all he managed at first, before he deftly (and smartly) shut his mouth, instead going back to staring. The offer was far too kind. Even for the Potter who had helped him rescue Theo and kill the Dark Lord. "I don't need answers," he managed quietly. "I know what happened. It's normal around here. But-" He swallowed the lump of awkwardness in his throat, then sniffed. Thank you died on his lips as well, though he imagined that Harry understood it well enough.

In many respects, Harry is an utter prat, but he isn't quite so terrible to snap at a man that's just said he's lost his partner. It's a surprise and that shows in his expression, but there's little Harry holds as dear as family. It's one of the few things he's always had in common with the Malfoys.

"Alright. I don't really understand how this place works, but if you say so, I'll believe you."

[alphaophiuchi]

Draco was, truthfully, a worse prat. He was purposeful about it. And the notion that someone from his world, who had no connection to him and no love lost between them, would be sympathetic was actually baffling. Perhaps because Draco likely wouldn't have given the same courtesy.

"Well, I have been here long enough. Unless you don't trust me not to steer you wrong," he prompted, brows arching a little as he slowly regained his wits back about him.

Harry rolls his eyes and takes a sip of his drink. Does he really need to answer that? Of course, if Draco can find a way to make Harry embarrass himself, then he'll nudge in that direction, but he doesn't believe that the other man would set him up for death.

"What can I say except that I have confidence in your skills?"

[alphaophiuchi]

Well...at least Harry wasn't wrong. Getting Harry killed wasn't in Draco's best interests, nor within his capabilities, but embarrassment was certainly a possibility. At the same time, he was pretty sure that Harry would be more than capable of doing exactly that all by himself.

He scoffed softly, rolling his eyes just a little. Like that, the spell of brief sympathy and bonding was gone. Alas.

"You may live to regret that, Potter. Perhaps not today, though." A little shrug, the gesture delicate. "Have any questions about how all this works?"
