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!

One thing Thomas wasn't worried about was a ransom. His family had disowned him, disavowed him even. They'd cut off his stipend, and as far as they were concerned, he could be dead for all they cared. At least, that was the official story. He kept in communication with his elder sister, but it was on the down low. It wouldn't due for her to be found consorting with the exiled one, after all.

And this didn't feel like a kidnapping. It felt more like some weird, fae dislocation. He scoffed at the thought, shaking his head. If that had been the reason for their ending up here, Harry probably had something to do with it, which meant they'd be running into his little brother at some point. Looking around at their unfamiliar surroundings, he off-handedly noted exactly how little he'd mind that.

"I think you're the mistress of helpless, love." He nodded as they continued on their way down the street, noting places as he passed them. It would be beneficial to both of them if they familiarized themselves with the place. "It's sort of weird to think about, but you're probably right." But how 'other' they were talking was anyone's guess.

Justine's eyes followed Thomas's across the city scape. She made mental notes on anything she thought might help them though she knows that he'd be able retain more than her when it comes to locations and sights.

They each had their different strengths and they would play to what they knew. She was skilled at appearing helpless just as Thomas was skilled at appear foolish. They were skills they've each honed and perfected to use and with Thomas near Justine felt as if she might be able too.

The smile on her lips remained set while her heart fluttered with his words. She felt her lips part as a steady calm falls over her shoulders. "Thank you." Her head cant to the side as she continued. "Do you think Harry is here?" She knew he was thinking it and considering trouble followed that man around she could only assume he's somewhere in the middle of this mess.

It was a question that had been playing through his mind, too, and he glanced over to her briefly as he considered her words. Was his little brother here? It was very possible, especially if this was all caused by something he'd been looking into. Of course, it was equally possible that, instead of being whisked away along with them, he was on the other side, trying to work out how to make everything right.

That idea didn't sit quite to well with him, seeing as that may very well mean the wizard would need his help before it was all said and done. He licked his lips and rolled his shoulder in a shrug.

"He might be, yeah, I don't know, though. Wherever he is, I hope he's safe." Because I have no idea how to get to him.

Justine lightly presses her gloved hand against his chest as they walk. She wanted to comfort him but she wouldn't lie to him either. Harry was amazingly lucky as well as powerful. While she was worried for Thomas's sake she knew that whatever he ran into he'd find a way out of.

It was his gift or perhaps a family trait.

"He'll be fine. You know that he won't stop and he has more allies than just us." She'd rather that her and Thomas be ready to help him should they cross paths.
