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!

Everything, for Lydia, is about appearances. In that way, she can control exactly what people think of her: it's a talent, truly, and one she's very proud of.

"True," she admits mildly, tipping her head to one side slightly, her hair tumbling a little further over her shoulder. For another moment, she ponders the offer. It's not like the party needs her immediately. "Sure. Why not. Show me which games you're good at, and I'll pick something out," Lydia offers, letting a smile curve her lips as she hugs her stuffed toy to her chest.

Coil looks entirely too happy about a chance to show off her skills, and she simply puts her load of stuffed prizes down on a nearby set of stairs for the taking, so confident is she that she'll be winning more soon.

"Darts," she says decisively, cheerfully bouncing over to the booth that lets the player throw sharp, pointy things at balloons for prizes. She looks very confident as she hands over her tickets, of which she has...a lot of. Clearly, she's already spent a lot of time here and intends to spend a lot more. "There's something so exciting about carnivals. Is this something they have here often, or just a special occasion?"

Lydia looks less enthused, but that just makes her a more interesting companion, in Coil's opinion. Dragging someone along is a challenge!

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

It isn't like she has much else to do right that moment, so humouring someone else strikes her as a good way to enjoy herself for a little while. It also helps that it doesn't require much on her part; she just has to carry a stuffed giraffe and make comments every now and then.

"All right," Lydia agrees, lifting the hem of her skirt a little as she follows along, offering the attendant a mild smile in greeting before Coil gets the rest of her attention. "Usually they're a special occasion. This one's for a festival I've never heard of, but I'm sure I'll figure out the meaning of it eventually," she answers with a little shrug as she sizes up the toys hanging around the stall.

Finally, she points to one. "I want that one."

[hollow_threat]

Humoring her? Oh, cruel. She can show you such a good time if you just tag along for a little while, Lydia. She's good company!

But for now, she'll accept it. She grins at the attendant, giving him big, innocent eyes as she tosses back her long hair, and hands over a ticket. "Mmmm. Okay. Let's see. I think we can do that. All in the wrist, right?" Darts are pointy things, and pointy things are just a matter of the knack.

The first couple of shots are a little shaky. A bit left of center, then a bit right, and she gives Lydia a big, 'oops' sort of smile. Of course she can't make it look too easy, right? She hands over another ticket for a few more darts. Just in case.

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

Merely the benefit of the doubt for the time being. She's sure that she will, in good time, realise that Coil is decent company, at the very least.

"Exactly," she agrees mildly, knowing more about the theory of how to throw an accurate dart than she cares to admit. It's one of those things she simply stumbled upon once, and stuck with her. Like Archaic Latin. She is, however, curious as to whether or not Coil will be able to catch onto it easily.

She's patient, though, tipping her head to one side as she watches the two failed attempts. At the smile, she smirks a little. That's right - not too easy. But Lydia can't help but wonder if she's being tested. Does she care, though? Not really. "You'll get it next time."

[hollow_threat]

She gives a little grin and shrug, batting her eyes at the attendant before handing over another ticket. "Okay, now I'm warmed up. One more try."

Now her fight face is on, as she eyes the balloons like the mortal enemy they are. And one dart after another fires off with expert precision, each one hitting its target dead center. Coil beams brightly and rolls her wrist as if working out a kink, looking entirely too pleased with herself as the attendant pulls down the indicated prize and hands it to Lydia.

"There we go. Just had to shake the rust off." She winks behind her mask, looking pleased. Now Lydia has the toy she actually wants and not a random one. That's better, right? "For a carnival prize? That's not half bad."

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

"One more," she confirms, also slightly warning. Her tone is teasing, but if the less-than-stellar performance thus far continued, she might just meander off again.

But then Coil does her thing once more, and Lydia looks both surprised and a little impressed, a small smirk curving her lips upward as she accepts the new gift. She likes the giraffe and all - it looks like one from her bedroom back home - but this one is much nicer. It's a mountain lion, a rather large one too. One you can lean against and cuddle.

"You're right. I like this. Thank you," she decides, offering another smile. "So are you planning on doing this all night? Just giving away presents to random people?"
