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!

Penny didn't waist much time before laying across the opposite couch. He began to feel the drugs creeping into his system and disconnecting him from the world around him. His head rested on the arm rest with the bottle of whiskey in his hand. He took a long gulp before dropping his arm to his side.

The whiskey bottle was now his friend, he wasn't going to let it go any time soon.

"Anyone else here?" Penny didn't actually have many questions because there was a lot that he didn't care about so he figured he'd get some of them out of the way while his mind was still working.

[thegreatestproject]

"Just us." Eliot raised a foot to start untying his dress boots, tugging them off one by one.

Then, with a casually dry tone as he raised his bottle: "Plus a couple of Harry Potter characters."

[hearingvoices]

Penny took a swig of the bottle before looking over at Eliot. "You gotta be fucking kidding me. I'm not with people from damn fantasy stories. Fillory was enough." He didn't trust stories anymore.

He was debating whether he was happy or sad that there was no one here from school. It's probably for the best.

[thegreatestproject]

Eliot swallowed a swig of scotch, his stare going slightly flat as he felt the drug start to kick in.

"Draco Malfoy's bisexual." A beat, and his eyes focused back on Penny. "Which I guess is better news for me than for you."

[hearingvoices]

Penny snorted a short burst of laughter. "You're fucking serious."

He took another swig, this time downing more of the whiskey that he probably should. He felt himself numbing then and he happily indulged in the feeling.

It was probably the drugs or the alcohol but Penny turned towards Eliot and squinted. "So how was it?" He assumed that Eliot has personal experiance with Draco's affection for men.

[thegreatestproject]

"He gets real cuddly when he's stoned. Quality kisser. All that posh English sneering must be a good workout for the lips." Eliot reminisced up toward the ceiling for a second. When he looked back down, his eyes weren't on Penny, but the couch he was sprawled on. "In fact, our last little rendevous was on that couch."

Of course, they'd had all their clothes on at the time, but Penny had no way of knowing that. And he wouldn't, so long as Eliot's thoughts remained guarded.

[hearingvoices]

"Yeah, thanks for sharing." His voice dripped with sarcasm. He didn't really care what Eliot did and he had a feeling that no loungeable surface in the man's apparent was clean. He honestly didn't care.

[thegreatestproject]

"Not even the courtesy to pretend to be disgusted." Dry as a desert. Eliot rolled his eyes, extracting a cigarette from his case, then snapping the case shut and tossing it toward Penny. "This is why nobody likes you."

[hearingvoices]

Penny felt the thud of the case on his stomach before he had realized that Eliot threw the cigarettes. He’d been very focused on drinking and the numbing feeling that began to spread through his limbs. "Fuck if I care." He replied before pulling a cigarette from the case.

It was honestly easier if people didn’t like him. He didn’t like to explain himself to others or admit that he didn’t have his shit together. Eliot knew, that was fine, he’d never had to explain it. "Just leaves more people for you to fawn over." Penny can be nice, sort of.

[thegreatestproject]

"It is a delicate ecosystem we share," Eliot mused, just before lighting the cigarette with a snap of his fingers.

The mp3 player moved on to another Ramones tune: Oh, oh, oh, sitting here with nothin' to do...

"Some good and bad news." It was both, depending on one's perspective. "Magic's not a secret around here. So, no worries about keeping up appearances for the muggles. Though it's a lot easier to get caught doing something shady."

[hearingvoices]

"Even if I can pop in and out without a trace?" He asked as he took a long swing from his bottle and then lighting his cigarette. Penny couldn't help but feel a little bit cocky when it came to his abilities. It made him a target but thanks to others he'd begun to think that it was pretty cool.

"I hate fucking sharing things about myself."

Be it magic or something else. He rarely told people that he heard voices in his head, let alone screaming. "I still got that fucking patch on. Don't know how long I can wear it before it causes some sort of damage." They never did say.

[thegreatestproject]

"Just remember there's nowhere to run." Or that security cameras existed, but Eliot didn't feel the need to highlight that for Penny. No need to brush close to the fact that he'd forgotten it himself.

As for the patch... Eliot looked up toward the ceiling. "Mm. Fun and games with potential brain damage. Me, I prefer the classics." He punctuated that with a belt of scotch — for example.

[hearingvoices]

Penny's lips twisted into a smirk before he shook his head. "yeah, I can't forget that fact." He knew about security tapes but there were always ways around that shit. Not that Penny was looking to do something illegal.

Right now he felt good and he wasn't interested in moving. After a bit he stared at the ceiling as if it was the most fascinating fucking thing ever.
