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!

[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.

[aces_and_eights]

I'll let you know how it works out. [have some faith Draco]

Well ya, that might have been the wrong selection of words.
[It might say something that he didn't immediately reclassify it. Draco would give him the heads up if something was truly out of sorts.]

Smooth. I guess I'll be out tomorrow, you know that entire job search bit.

[a pause..]

And that is annoying as all hell too.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ stabby. ]

Possible. [ a faint smirk. He would have, it's true. ] Though you know the best way to find things about the City is to go out into the City. So give it a look tomorrow when you join the rest of us classless heathens who have to work for a living, and then get back to me if you have further questions, hm?

[aces_and_eights]

I know, getting tired of it.

{he reaches forward to cut the feed and pauses.]

I will man. You need anything, hollar. If I'm still here an all.

[The finger hits the end glyph.]
