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, filling 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 its 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 its 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!

His eyebrows did another hop upwards when he heard the name. He was well aware of the concept of sin — largely as a Muggle religious term — and he wondered why anybody would choose to name a city after it. But that was the least of his concerns, at the moment.

"I doubt it," he said — straightforward, though not very harsh, as he looked up over her head down the street. "Unless you can point me the way out. This city is — odd, and I've left something very important at home."

[imaginationswoes]

Airy made a face, her eyes falling towards the ground. "If you arrived like I did then there isn't any way out. I'm sorry..." She knew of magic and a few other things but even that she's heard has done nothing to get people out.

"The city sort of has a mind of it's own I think..." She really had no idea but it certainly felt like it. "...It brings people here and doesn't let them leave."

[mumshere]

The look of apprehension on his face deepened. "No... no, that's unacceptable."

But, oh. For the first time in a few moments, he looked at her directly. "Sorry. I don't mean to worry you. You seem like a very nice person. But I, uh... I have to find a way back."

He took a step away from her, looking up toward the Tower... and realizing he had no idea where to go.

[imaginationswoes]

Airy shook her head. "No, it's not your fault... I mean... you're fine. I just. I have a map but there really isn't a way out of here." She pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and then fumbled with it before holding it out to the man.

"You can have it. I can get another one." Never mind the fact that she may or may not be able to find her way home without it.

[mumshere]

"...oh. Um... thank you." He reached out to take it, to begin studying it, although he still wasn't moving. His fingers roamed over the paper, tracing out the shapes of streets.

"Where can I find the — authorities?" he asked, looking back at her again, sounding... really, really unsure of himself. This whole situation was so bizarre.

[imaginationswoes]

"Oh-" Airy fumble for a minute before walking around so that she was standing next to Newt. She pointed to the map, indicating the coliseum district. "-the police station is over here."

She's pretty sure she knows someone who works there but she can't remember. "I think there is another few chosen's working there too." The word chosen was pronounced awkwardly, it didn't sit well with Airy. "Anyway, they've been here longer and probably have more information."

[mumshere]

He was preparing himself to give the map back to her. So long as he could remember where the police station was, he could probably Apparate closer to it without splinching himself or winding up inside a wall --

While he studied it, though, a particular word she said caught his ear. "Chosen?"

[imaginationswoes]

Airy looked up at him, shifting nervously from foot to foot. "Ah, yeah... that's what the locals call us... since we aren't from... here... Like I think it's this world. I'm from Maine." Though she was in New York before she was here.

"That's what I meant by not leaving the city too. It just... doesn't work..." At least not very well.

[mumshere]

"I see."

Whoever or whatever had brought him here, however it had happened, Newt had suspected it wasn't an accident. Instantaneous dislocation didn't just happen. Yet somehow, hearing there was an actual name for people in their situation made it all the more ominous.

"I'll see about talking to the police." He folded up the map, offered it back to her. "Thank you, um —" what had she said her name was? "— Airy. I'll find my way from here."

[imaginationswoes]

Airy took the map back and nodded her head. "If you need anything else please let me know. You should have a phone in your pocket."

She pauses and then quickly adds. "It was nice to meet you."

[mumshere]

Whatever a phone was. Probably some Muggle thing.

"Yes." He was in such a hurry, it didn't so much as occur to him that he hadn't offered his name in return. He'd have to remedy that, the next time they met — but just now, his thoughts were miles away.

Newt stepped away, his long strides taking him through the snow and around a corner, out of Airy's sight. In another moment, there would be another loud crack, as he Apparated away to a street near the police station.
