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!

"You don't remember this because it hasn't happened for you yet." Everyone else came in from different points in time; it makes sense that Neal would too. "I arrived here from a later point in time than you did." Which Neal probably would have guessed at some point.

"He took Emma to New York. I'm not sure of all of the details on that either." Since they hadn't really been in a sharing mood when it came to him at that point. "They found you there."

He hesitates, but he doesn't think he can put off mentioning this any longer. It'll come out anyway, and make it easier to explain some things. "There's more. They had someone else with them. Henry. He's your son."

Neal gave the pirate a skeptical look. That didn't mean that he didn't believe him, only that it was absolutely ridiculous so of course it was true. He listened and tried his best to remain somewhat calm but his last comment made Neal pause.

"I have a son? Emma! I had a son with Emma?"

His fingers pressed to his lips and he turned away. His mind quickly went through a million thoughts while his heart thundered painfully in his chest. Emma was the only logical person to be his mother which meant he'd be ten. He's lived ten years where he couldn't be there for his son. He hadn't known, it wasn't really his fault but he felt awful. He was just as bad as his own father and he didn't want that for his son.

"Henry." He repeated the name committing it to memory. More than anything in the world he wanted to meet his son.

[seekingcrocodile]

"Aye." It probably would have been better coming from Emma, but Emma's not here to tell him. Maybe she will be again someday, and then he'll just have to deal with whatever Emma might have to say about that.

"You'll meet him. When you leave this place, you'll be able to meet him." He doesn't need to know how that time with Henry ends. He wouldn't want to know, personally.

"He was kidnapped and taken to Neverland. Your father and I called a truce when we all went to Neverland to fetch him back."

[alandwithoutmagic]

Neal felt the added information like a weight against his chest. He wanted to meet his son, to give him the father that he never had but everything else sounded horrible. He knew intimately of Peter Pan and didn't want to imagine Henry having to have to face him alone.

He closed his eyes and inhaled a slow breath. He had to get back, to find him and help him. Neal exhaled and opened his eyes.

He didn't even know what his son looked like but it didn't matter. He was a father and that fact now mattered more than anything in the world. He'd survive until he could find his son and tell him how much he loved him. He didn't even have to meet the boy to know it was true. From that day forward he'd spend his life making sure that Henry had a father.

"So what now?" His voice sounded dry and raw.

[seekingcrocodile]

He wants to reach out and put his hand on the other man's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him, but isn't sure it would be welcome. So his hands stay at his sides.

"For the time being, you're stuck here, until whoever or whatever brought you here decides to send you home again. So you go about your life here. You'll have a place to live, places are always hiring. You do whatever you can to make a life here until you leave here."

He does have one other thing that he can offer, which he does tentatively. "I know Henry, and Emma has told me about him as well. If there's anything you wish to know."
