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!

[ Draco's tone is almost a deadpan, though there's a faint trace of amusement: ] You've been gone an absolute age. You've missed everything. We'll never catch you up.

ok, that made my laugh

[aces_and_eights]

[And then there is Draco, good guy overall though most times the kid has no idea what to make of him.]

Well...apparently it seems to be the occupational hazard around here.

Hope you managed not to lead with the chin while I was gone.

gooood <3

[alphaophiuchi]

[ the fewer people know what to make of Draco, the happier he is! ]

I assume that's some sort of Muggle colloquialism referring to leaping headfirst into terrible situations.

At which point, unless you consider getting married 'leading with the chin', no. I've done all right, actually.

[aces_and_eights]

Married? No shit, huh? I guess congratulations are in order.

[A bit of a smirk]

And yes, yes that would qualify as leading with the chin.

Good to hear though. Seems like some of y'all been makin' due while I was gone.

[alphaophiuchi]

Thank you very much.

[ he just sniggers. ] You may have to define this phrase for me properly.

We have indeed been doing all right, though. Not fantastically. But all right.

[aces_and_eights]

You are welcome. [He can be polite after all.]

[A light laugh as he contemplates a proper definition for the witch.]

It is one of those ones that can mean a lot of things. Straight up, and prolly how it was intended is fightin'. You aren't guarding your face. Ya can mix that in, what do they call 'em metaphors for all kinds of things when you're giving up a sensitive spot off the bat.

[A twist of his lips. Kinda confirms what he's heard so far. Sure he has more question, but those can wait until he met up with the blonde.] Well, look at it this way, least it is better than being tragically fucked.

[alphaophiuchi]

I see. Well, that's rather interesting, isn't it? Well phrased.

[ he chuckles after that. He'd have never guessed. ]

True. And we've been in that spot before too, haven't we? This place loves to jerk us around.

[aces_and_eights]

It seems pretty handy. [He didn't invent these things, merely a took of their decimation]

Ya, y'all more so than me. [A bit of a frown at that, but that was another issue altogether.] Well it only jerks around the important people, maybe you should feel honoured?

[He was only half joking in his thought. Leaning his chin on his hand.] I got to say I just wish the damned place would decide to keep me around or not. This "let's bring the mutant around every six months' routine is getting rather old.

[alphaophiuchi]

Just you wait. [ though he can't help but arch a brow at that. ] Perhaps so. Yes, I'll feel exceedingly honoured. It's a wonderful thing, watching all those less important people get stolen away from me.

[ he sighs. He knows that's not how Ace meant it. ]

You're hardly the only mutant it likes to do that to. I'd say Erik's the only one who's been around for an extended period of time without wavering.

[aces_and_eights]

Oh, I'm pretty sure it'll be epic.

[A hand slides by the view at the sigh, letting the other man know it was no big deal.]

And here I was thinkin' I was all special.

[Though he did frown a bit, cause he already found one of those mutants on the network.]

He's too stubborn to kick out.

[alphaophiuchi]

In some regard, certainly.

Well. Special enough. You're inherently special, aren't you? [ a smirk. He's teasing. ]

He is, it's true. It's like he's latched onto the place.

[aces_and_eights]

[That got a honest laugh out of him.]

Nothing I can do about it, it's all in the genes.

[He raked back his hair and started to bind it up.]
Or it latched onto him...

[alphaophiuchi]

So I've heard.

You know, that wouldn't shock me at all, given what's gone on recently.

[aces_and_eights]

That was genes with a 'g'..

[a chuckle.]

Yea, not sure what I make of that, but I'm still catching up.

[Hell the kid isn't even sure if it is his concern really.]

[alphaophiuchi]

I married a geneticist. [ a smirk. ] Who, for the record, has brilliant genes and looks great in jeans.

[ HE CAN BE WITTY TOO. ]

You know, I'd be inclined to just let the whole thing run its course, myself.

[aces_and_eights]

[Another chuckle and a palm up concession on the witty.]


I don't know. I do know I don't trust anything about this place, but I don't a damned thing else anymore.

[alphaophiuchi]

Have we magically managed to give you trust issues? That doesn't shock me at all. This place does things like that.

[aces_and_eights]

Ha! No, no the trust issues came pre loaded man.

[A bit of a wistful look.]

So since I'm back we can pick up me beating you over the head lessons if you want.

[It was one of the few things he could call a pre-existing schedule.]

I hope ya haven't had to use the lil bit i showed ya though.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ another smirk, and a chuckle. ] All right, good. Then it's just par for the course.

And no, I haven't had to use them too much yet. But I'd love to continue them. You never know when you might need something like that.

Maybe one day they'll end up being me beating you over the head lessons.

[aces_and_eights]

[The kid smiled at that. Both at that it has been pretty much useless for his friend so far, and the man's gumption.]

You never know, smaller miracles have happened. Give me a couple of days to get settled an we'll pick it back up.

Hell, if I can get a hold of him you can watch me get stabbed alot.

[alphaophiuchi]

Sounds good. You know where I am, then.

[ he winces a little after that. ] I'd rather not. Getting anyone stabbed is hardly my idea of a good evening.

[aces_and_eights]

Yea was some French guy I think. I was goin' take lessons in fencing.

[Yes he went to Cissa's wedding reception, but he never met the guy.]

Should be fun.

[alphaophiuchi]

Oh, Aramis. He's still around, don't worry. But he'll definitely stab you.

[aces_and_eights]

Ah good. Least I'll have something solid to look forward to.


Anything else new and surprising?

[alphaophiuchi]

Solidly concerning. [ more smirking. ]

Mm. Nothing really comes to mind. Nothing that can be categorised as 'surprising', at least.
