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!

I'm.... [He almost lies, but this is Draco and lying to Draco just feels wrong.]

I'm not sure if I'm really here or just hallucinating while in a catatonic state.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ oh. oh. ]

...what would it take to prove that this was real?

[offnote]

I'm not sure. I had trouble thinking Ohio was real once I was back. I'm not sure what will make me think this place is.

[alphaophiuchi]

Then we take it easy and we take it slow, don't we? And hopefully it feels real sooner or later.

[offnote]

[He offers Draco a smile at that, because it's nice to see him being reassuring and careful]

You have to fill me in on what I missed. What have you been up to?

[alphaophiuchi]

[ he smiles back, and it's slightly softer than normal. He's just happy that Blaine can smile like that. ]

Mm. All sorts of terribly naughty things. I mucked about with the City, then decided it wasn't worth it, got married, settled down. My son showed up, a few other people returned, a few people disappeared, then I decided that it was worth it after all, and I mucked about with the City once more.

It didn't go well either time, though.

[offnote]

Whoa, whoa. Hold on. You got married? To who?

[alphaophiuchi]

Charles. I am officially Draco Lucius Malfoy-Xavier, owner of the most pretentious name in the City.

[offnote]

[He is for a moment completely distracted by happiness.]

Congratulations. I wish I had been there. You have pictures right? And videos? I'll watch them and you and Charles can recount every detail.

[alphaophiuchi]

I wish you'd been there too. You'd have loved it; it was gorgeous. [ oh, but he does love to distract with happiness. Even short-lived happiness. He'll have to burst the bubble eventually. ]

There are indeed pictures, though, and videos, if you care to flick back through the network a good while. I'm sure I can find them for you.

[offnote]

I will. I want to catch up on everything else anyway.

The other thing you mentioned was a son? As in, a son you and Charles adopted or a son that the you back in England has?

[alphaophiuchi]

It's an excellent plan. [ and it'll save Draco the trouble of actually...telling Blaine, won't it? ]

Back in England. He's my actual biological son. You'll know exactly who it is when you see him, trust me.

[offnote]

I guess that means he's pretty handsome then?

[alphaophiuchi]

I'd like to say so, yes. I'm biased, though. I'm already feeling quite paternal.

[offnote]

[He chuckles softly] Oh no, then you'll soon start feeling even older than I am.

[alphaophiuchi]

It might suit me. What do you think?

[offnote]

I think anyone who tries to mess with your kid better be prepared to invest in some anti-hex armor.

[alphaophiuchi]

You're absolutely correct. They might get it from multiple angles, too, so they'd best be on their toes.

[offnote]

I'd be easier for them just to leave your son alone.

What's his name?

[alphaophiuchi]

Probably.

Scorpius. Elegant, hm? [ or a bit much? ]

[offnote]

Scorpius Malfoy? [He seems amused and raises a brow] It's certainly impressive.

[alphaophiuchi]

Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, even. Absolutely impressive.

Us wizards never do anything halfway, apparently.

[offnote]

[Honestly, Draco?]

Well, you have magic. That's bound to make you a little flashy.

[alphaophiuchi]

I'm me. That makes me automatically more flashy than anyone else.

Being a wizard simply didn't help that any.

[offnote]

[He chuckles again] It's true. I remember. You do have a lot of flash.

[A pause] I missed that. I missed you.
