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!

He didn't know what she was talking about. They'd talked everything over before they headed to Brakebills. Maybe it was something she did earlier that was coming back to haunt her?

With concerned, confused eyes, he shook his head. "What was it? If it has to do with all the hedge witch stuff, you know I'll help you if I can..." They hadn't really talked about it much, the time they'd been separated and hurting each other. But he did want to her to know he was here for her now.

"Not hedge witch stuff, god stuff." She takes a long drag from her cigarette.

Wasn't explaining all this to Quentin once enough? She had to do it all over again? "If I'd known I was gonna be doing this a second time, I'd have recorded it."

Let's go with the Bandaid methodology.

"It wasn't the Mother, Q. It was a wolf demon. It killed everyone and it raped me. And then I called Marina to make me forget everything, but Ember 'fixed' that."

He murmured 'sorry' as soon as he realized she was having to tell him twice, and resolved to try to move past it quickly for her sake.

Unfortunately, that resolve was out the window once she started telling him. His expression went from concerned to horrified in a heartbeat. Hearing that apparently she met Ember was noticed and shoved down as unimportant. He rose a hand to his mouth, feeling like he was going to throw up. "Oh...Jesus. Jules, I'm- god, that's awful. I'm sorry." Tears were in his eyes as he stared at the ground, trying to clear the image. "Fuck."

[asksalotofquestions]

"Fuck is right," she said. "So would you get the fuck over here and hug me already?"

Her voice broke as she finished the sentence.

[filloryfan]

He didn't have to be asked twice, immediately closing the space between them to give her a tight hug. They'd been best friends for so long, but neither of them ever had to deal with anything like this. He shut his eyes and murmured apologies- for not knowing, for not being there for her. He hadn't ever wanted to be at odds with her, and every part of it during his time at Brakebills had felt unnatural and wrong. He was here for her now.

Even if she was the one that saved him from being mugged.

[asksalotofquestions]

"I'm alright now," she said, not in that she was in any way alright, but that at least she could talk and see again. She wipes tears and snot off of her face with her sweater sleeve, and leans back against the corner wall.

"And then I was here," she lied, conveniently leaving out the rest. "So see, you haven't missed much."

[filloryfan]

He didn't for a second think that she was 'alright now'. But he was hardly going to call her on it- that would be, he thought, the exact opposite of comforting. So he gave her his best attempt at a smile, which was really nothing more than a quirk of his lips, and he reached out for her hand. It was something she started, when he'd get too closed in on himself. She'd grab a hand and pull it away from where it was trapped at his side and pull it out to squeeze it while she talked.

He tried the same here, as he found a less heavy bit of conversation. "Except I apparently missed the part where Ember was a raging dickbag," he said, glancing to the side. "Oh, well. We already knew the books were bullshit, right?" After everything he'd learned about Plover, he'd never think of them the same way again.
