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!

Coatless guy had a better chance than Emma at being fine. He had one a few more clothes than she did at the moment.

"Yes I am. I'm Emma Frost. Thank you for the coat." To say that he felt like other telepaths was doing him disservice. He felt like all of them combined. She was surprised her shields held even under his casual attempt to read her. It made her a little smug. "You're one too. Let's walk and talk. I'd prefer to be inside somewhere."

Pardon his jaw drop. He actually has to pause, think, and close his mouth.

"I... know you. I mean, I meet you when you're older. You've gotta be... from the 80s?" He cringed a little at the guess, because Ms Frost was definitely the kind of person who wouldn't be impressed if he'd overestimated her age.

"Oh! Yea, sure, there's a few stores over here," He gestures with a nod towards a row of clothing stores. Maybe she could buy a jacket... and some pants. Or not. He was fine with this.

Emma chuckled at his reaction. She was used to people knowing her in the future, as strange as that was. "96. You're from the next century I take it, like Ace."

How curious that she would meet another of her students-to-be while dressed like a particularly inexpensive hooker. The universe must like her a great deal.

"I think it's a perfect time to go shopping." She turned in the correct direction, taking the lead.

Enjoy the view, Quentin. That cost isn't quite long enough for decency.

[futurephoenix]

"Uh, yea, 2015," There's an apology in there somewhere. At least, he has the sense to sound sheepish.

Honestly, he was going to try to very purposely not enjoy the view, but it was just so good. Could he even be blamed? It was definitely times like these that he was glad that his thoughts were basically guarded to the point of being completely invisible.

They came up to row of stores that seemed relatively upscale but, no doubt, to Emma they were simply 'adequate'.

"Lady's choice," He couldn't care less which store they went into.

[wellbredbitch]

Emma didn't mind that she couldn't read him. It was a relief in a lot of ways. Ace had told her too much, she wasn't ready to know everything about her future self. She headed with unerring certainty toward the most expensive of the options presented, rushing as much as she could in her ridiculous heels until she was inside the store.

Once inside Emma nodded and set to work. People filed out, leaving their unpurchased items behind. If she was going to steal she didn't want a lot of witnesses. Even the employees went to the back and began to occupy themselves away from the floor.

"There. Now let's look over this desolate lot of rags and find something reasonable."
