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!

That, plus around here, there's no guarantee it'd stick.

There's always couriers. People willing to make a few bucks so long as you trust them to deliver.

No guarantee suggests you don't know for certain. So which is it? Does death stick, or not?

[Do go on, sir. You have just piqued his interest with something that sounds decidely un-boring.]

Not always. At least one of the Chosen has come back after biting it.

I figure the city wants to keep us around at any cost.

Only one? How does the police ever keep up? The lot must be nothing but driveling fat slobs.

Which isn't much different than London's.

Tell me, what's the crime like here?

[Eliot could point out that people coming back from the dead isn't exactly a mystery around here, but he's too amused by Sherlock taking a swipe at the police to bother.]

A few organized gangs. The occasional petty theft. As someone who spent time in New York, it's all pretty average for a town infested with actual demons.

Less drug-related crimes, but that's a factor of drug laws being real lax. You can get just about anything without trouble from the police.
