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!

Erik seems to consider that for a moment, then there's a small push against Daken, like a little concussion of air or light telekinetic shove. It's a demonstration, not yet meant to do more than just warn.

"Possibly quite similar in some ways. But with a few more tricks up my sleeve these days."

Being 'evolved' into part demon by the City lent him a few extra powers, as well.

[itsdesigner]

Daken stiffens as the soles of his shoes scrape backward ever so slightly against the pavement and his slight smirk turns wicked, genuinely surprised and impressed.

"Now, that is something," He practically purrs and slowly raises his hands, open palms toward Erik in a display of lazy surrender, the claws sliding back down. "When did you pick up that little trick?

[[ooc ~ mind if daken starts attempting to use pheromones? he'd be aiming to make erik feel nice and confident, maybe even overly confident.]]

[prefers_magneto]

[ooc: Go for it!]

"Recently," Erik replied mildly. "Among other things." Like a resistance to physical damage that probably wasn't quite as impressive as Daken's, but made him far more robust than any version of Magneto had ever been. "I've been in this world for years."

[itsdesigner]

He chuckles when Erik mentions how long he'd been stuck here. "Not as impressive.

... Unless, you have no intention of returning to where you've come from," He steps a little closer, exuding pheromones. Erik's increased resistance might make them less effective, but Daken is aiming to make the mutant feel confident, cocky, hopefully to the point of dropping his guard a little - Daken couldn't be a threat, not to a man as powerful as him.

"Are they just giving away abilities around here? Or do they have a special rewards program for long-time customers such as yourself?" Because this sounds good, he wants some.

[prefers_magneto]

"I have no intention of returning where I've come from," Erik replies. "Why would I? People have come here from my future in several dimensions. There's nothing but despair in every one of them. Why would I give up all of this for any of that?" he points out.

He studies Daken for a moment.

"They were looking for someone who could handle the job."

[itsdesigner]

"Huh. Strange. Where I'm from, you seem to be doing alright for yourself. I mean, all your loved ones are either dead or despise you, but look on the bright side, for a man whose nearly 80, you look terrific. The cape thing is a little outdated, but what can you do?"

His eye narrow slightly, curious what Erik means.

"They? They have also given you a choice on whether you stay or go, or you're just -what?- keeping your fingers crossed they won't send you away once they're done with you? Or do you have other secrets?" And, adding just a touch of desire and lust to mix in with those feelings of confidence. Why not?

[prefers_magneto]

"That sounds like 'doing alright for myself' to you, does it?" He shrugged. "I've discovered I can do better."

When the new sensation starts to take hold, he's suddenly in conflict. The confidence felt natural. There's something wrong now. He frowns. He's done talking about his secrets.

"What are you doing?" He takes a step back.

[itsdesigner]

Daken's smile was answer enough. Magneto's story reminded him of Logan, his own father, which made it all the more amusing.

He catches the spike of suspicion half a second too late. He immediately shifts things back to confidence, attempting to do some damage control.

"Hm. You're very astute. Too bad. We could've had a little fun," He hums with a suggestive smile. The best he can do at this point is try to distract Erik from dwelling on what his abilities might actually be.

[prefers_magneto]

Erik's eyes narrowed, but this man was no threat to him. Not to him.

"I'm not interested in your 'fun'," he said a little shortly.

[itsdesigner]

"Yes, you've made that quite clear," Daken states dryly.

"Now, if there wasn't anything else you needed..." He prods the hole the bullet had torn in his expensive looking shirt with an exaggerated frown as he starts to walk away, gracefully stepping over one of the bodies he'd made.

[prefers_magneto]

"We're not the only mutants in town," Erik told him. "Remember that when you need help." A beat. "And remember that when you're considering what actions to take." Because he could do things that reflected on everyone.
