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!

[Blaine pulls back after a while, too worried if he keeps kissing David he'll fall in and be unable to pull himself back out. He doesn't pull away entirely, though, he stays close and offers David a smile.]

So you really like the hair, don't you? [It sounds stupid to his ears, but he can't help but enjoy David's hand there and remember the comments David had about his gel.]

[postponing_death]

[David doesn't really pull back either. His fingers stay in Blaine's hair, carding through the curls.]

I do. I always have, if I recall correctly.

[offnote]

[Blaine chuckles a bit.] I do seem to remember you liking it after we'd wake up or take a shower together... [As he says the words he starts to feel as if his heart is warming up with the realization that this was real and happening. He causes him to smile a bit more, the expression more settled and pleased.] And other things too.

[postponing_death]

And other things, yes.

[Seeing Blaine smiling like that relaxes him as well. His fingers trail down Blaine's neck and come to rest on his chest.]

[offnote]

[Blaine moves his hand to touch David's arm.] I.. I haven't asked how long you've been back? And how long were you away this time?

[postponing_death]

Not long. A few weeks. That I've been back, at least.

I was gone...eighteen years?

[offnote]

[Blaine narrows his eyes a bit in that 'doing math' sort of way.] What have you been doing those 18 years?

[postponing_death]

Well, I...went to Oxford. After I graduated, I worked in London for a bit, copyediting. Then I went into teaching.

[He hesitates a bit, unsure if he should share this, but Blaine was so open with him.]

I...tried again. To...to kill myself. Only once, and it was...

Well.

[offnote]

[Blaine looks down and steadies himself.] I did too. [He admits, after a long moment of quiet]

I'm sorry you had to go through that by yourself.

[postponing_death]

I wasn't quite alone.

[He takes Blaine's hand again.]

I hope you weren't either.

[offnote]

[Blaine moves his hand to intertwine his fingers with David. He doesn't really answer to that. It's like the words feel choked in his throat.]

Teaching is good, though. That seems like something you'd be good at.

[postponing_death]

[David notes his lack of answer, but he can't fault Blaine for it. It wasn't an easy thing to talk about.]

I enjoy it, at least. I'm not sure how good I am.

[offnote]

[Blaine chuckled softly.] You're brilliant. [He says so with total confidence.]

You're also still older than I am. I just turned 28. One day, we'll wake up here and you'll be younger just to mess with us. [He's joking but he also thinks it might very well happen.]

[postponing_death]

[David smirks, shifting a bit to lean closer to Blaine, shoulders touching.]

I wouldn't be surprised. Then you can be the cradle-robber.

[offnote]

I'd like that. It's be a nice change of pace.

[He slouched down a bit so that he could put his head on David's shoulder.] Was there anything else you wanted to talk about?

[postponing_death]

I don't know.

[He leans his cheek against Blaine's hair.]

Do you reckon there's a reason we both came back?

[offnote]

Maybe it's because we're meant to be.

[It sounds silly but trying to be a hopeless romantic feels good.]

[postponing_death]

[It does sound silly, but David doesn't argue.]

Maybe it is.

[He's quiet a moment, and then]

"The world owes us nothing. It promises less.
Call it: freedom. Free will. Or Wednesday."

[offnote]

[Blaine smiles at hearing David recite. He hums softly and then pulls up so that he can look at David.] If there's nothing else for us to talk about now, we could go back to kissing?

[It makes him sound so young and inexperienced to word things that way, but he likes establishing consent and going in that direction with full agreement.]

You could even show me the bedroom.

[postponing_death]

It's a lovely bedroom.

[He smiles as well, a catch in his breath.]

If you're sure?

[offnote]

I haven't seen you in years. I'm sure. As long as you are...

[He could understand if David wanted to wait. If they were going to be mature, they should be smart about this and wait to get to know each other again. Blaine just really didn't want to be mature.]

[postponing_death]

I'm very sure.

[He knew the same, but things in the City were different, and something Draco had said about Charles stuck with him in this moment.

Standing, he offered a hand to Blaine.]

[offnote]

[Blaine takes his hand and feels butterflies growing in his stomach. He goes with David easily but for a moment wonders again if this isn't just a very good dream. The thought makes his head feel a bit fuzzy and overwhelmed but his legs easily take him to the bedroom.]

[postponing_death]

[When they get to the bedroom, David stops in the doorway, turning to Blaine with a tentative smile. His hands move to Blaine's hips and tug him gently closer.]

I...I'm not as young as I was.

[offnote]

Nor am I. [He points out. He still feels himself disconnecting but having David reach out and pull him closer snaps him out of it a bit. He looks up at David's face and then reaches up to touch his cheek.] We shouldn't expect too much from each other right now. I don't want to disappoint you.
