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!

You shouldn't have to be used to losing people. [He keeps his hand touching Draco's needing to offer that physical comfort for as long as Draco wants it.]

But I suppose that's what this place does, isn't it? It loves to mess with you.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ it's nice, so he won't be taking his hand away anytime soon. ]

It does. I think that's its whole purpose. I hate to say it, but I feel as though I might be one of its favourite playthings. Funny, how a few others could get engaged or married, and I'm the one who loses their spouse within only a few months.

I really do have shit luck.

[offnote]

I'm sorry. I wish I had been here to help you through it.

[alphaophiuchi]

Well, I did miss you when it happened. I'd wished the same.

I'd also hoped you'd get to go back to something better than what you did, though.

[offnote]

[Blaine frowns a bit] I...

Have you ever heard of anyone retaining their memories of this place when they go home? Not just as a hazy dream, but as clear as a bell.

[alphaophiuchi]

...no. I've not. Admittedly, I also haven't known that many people to come back.

[offnote]

I went home before and forgot this place. It was just a hazy dream.

[alphaophiuchi]

I think I've known other people who just forgot it altogether as well. But no one who actually remembered it.

[offnote]

Unless they're the ones who haven't gone back home.

[alphaophiuchi]

What do you mean? As in, the people who'd remember are the people like me?

[offnote]

I mean... Come back here. [He bows his head and rubs his forehead, trying to cover up that slip.] The ones who are still stuck back in their home realities and haven't come back here.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ he's thinking, at least partly of the fact that there were some people who had been there for a while. Blaine hadn't been there for a short period of time. Maybe it wasn't a half-bad notion. ]

...that could also be. And they'd likely be looked at like they were insane.

[offnote]

[Blaine makes this noise that's almost a laugh but more of a bitter grunt]

Let me just say that's exactly what happens.

[alphaophiuchi]

[ ah, a noise Draco is intimately familiar. ]

Fantastic.

You're better off here.

[offnote]

I think so too. I...

People get it here.

[alphaophiuchi]

I should hope so. We'd all be in your shoes, if we were to go home.

I've always worried about that, actually.
