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!

"Demons?" That caught Thomas' attention and he arched a dark eyebrow at the man's comment. "Those come in a lot of flavors from what I hear." He had many choices of face to wear among these unknown people, but he decided to go with one that fit the most, and with which he'd had the most experience: the flippant, slightly slow, playboy. He was aware Eliot might not have missed his slip, but if he was used to demons, he might not think much of it, either.

Besides, he was the guy slinging around magic to light a cigarette when lighters were a thing. His lip curled in a smile as he took the offered seat. "I work in a salon and we serve it. I drink a lot of coffee."

Eliot lifted a hand to flag down one of the waitstaff, then drew a circle over the table in the universal gesture for another round.

"Demons," he confirmed with a straightforward nod. "They'll mostly leave you alone if you don't get too close. If they were all the City had to throw at us, it'd be way less of a shit show. Getting pulled in randomly is kinda Step One."

He settled back in his chair, considering where to start. It was easier than some other of his Welcome-to-the-City spiels had been. Thomas was taking it enough in stride that Eliot didn't have to worry about showing a whole lot of sympathy.

He'd never been great with that.

"'The City' is shorthand, but it's also all there is. You tried to walk past city limits yet?"

Not only did Thomas take the initial information in stride, but also the ordering of drinks. It wouldn't be the first time he'd taken advantage of someone else's hospitality and it probably wouldn't be the last. He leaned back in the chair he was given, looking thoughtful, but also slightly clueless. It was a balance he'd perfected after years of practice, noticing subtle details of the area while looking like an idiot.

"I just wanted down the block and found you. That's it." He offered a shrug. "So, if nobody knows the actual name of the City, why say it's shorthand?"
