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. Network: There's a network device in your pocket - or at least a familiar object that seems to work in mysterious ways. Perhaps you can take to that and ask for a bit of help? Or maybe you'd prefer to have a little fun with all of this. Surely someone will reply. 08. Wild Card:Choose your own adventure in the game's setting!

"Never pegged you as such a flatterer, chere," He teased, still smirking. With a nod of his head, he motioned for her to walk with him through the crowd of partiers.

"Saw a stairwell back here."

It wasn't incredibly obvious, but Remy had his suspicions that the beefy oversized man in the suit standing in front of the stairs with his arms crossed was likely there to keep people from going upstairs.

"Any ideas?" He had a few, but he was curious.

[fallsinplace]

Domino sized up the situation, eyeing the crowd. "I've got a couple. Probably I could trip someone close tot eh guard and see if it distracts him." Her aim was pretty good, and where human ability stopped, mutant abilities supplemented.

[alwaysathief]

He nodded.

"I was thinkin' something similar," He scans the crowd milling around, looking for anyone else who stood out like their friend here, "Or better yet, I'll take care of the distraction. You just be ready to slip upstairs."

He doesn't need to go into details, the fact that he was toying with a playing card that was starting to glow faintly was explanation enough. The charge was just enough to make a flashy, loud distraction as if someone had attempted to shoot off some fireworks inside. It did the trick nicely and the beefy guard immediately pushed his way through the party and over to where Remy had thrown the card, looking for the cause and culprit.

"Ladies first," He purred quietly, tilting his head toward the stairwell. He'd be close behind her.

[fallsinplace]

"Showoff," Domino grumbled good-naturedly. She slipped through the crowd, despite the slight confusion Remy had caused. Having shorter legs made her feel like she had to take the stairs two at a time to prevent a traffic jam. Once they got to the second floor Domino barreled into another guard, shoving him to the floor. It had been an accident, but she quickly reacted, shoving her hand over the guard's mouth to keep him silent.

"What is in this place?" She wondered, kneeling on the poor guard's back.

[alwaysathief]

His eyebrows raise in surprise as Domino drops the unexpected second guard, but it's quickly evident she has everything under control.

"Dunno," He did a quick scan of the hallways around them for other guards, but things looked clear for the moment, "Somethin' worth guardin'."

He gave her a roguish smirk, his eyes probably glinting with a little too much excitement and a mix of curiosity and mischief.

"Knock him out. I'll look for a place to stash him for now..." It wouldn't do them any good for someone to come find a knocked out guard while they were still in the building. He opened a few of the doors, most of which seemed to be ordinary, non-descript offices, "Any of these'll do."

He came back over, "You got his legs?"

[fallsinplace]

Domino was smiling as well, a slightly manic expression. She chuckled a little when Remy suggested how to deal with the guard, before punching said guard in the back of the head. He slumped and she moved off of him. At Remy's suggestion she grabbed the man's legs, grunting a little. Remy would have more leverage, but Domino was determined to pull her own weight. "First one on the right. You have anything to tie him down with?"

This was why she tended to wear her uniform everywhere back home. It sucked being caught off guard like this.

[alwaysathief]

He'd always related to people like her, people who enjoyed what they did. Hell, he was one of them. It was actually a little regrettable the two of them didn't get to team up more often or at least pretend to 'superhero' like he and Deadpool did. Well, pretend to superhero or cause excessive property damage while dressed up as various Avengers. Same difference, really.

"I wasn't gonna," He grunted as he lifted the man by his shoulders to lug him towards the door she'd picked, "We'll be long gone by the time he wakes up. Just don't want nobody to stumble across him in the meantime."

With another quiet grunt, they unceremonious shoved the unconscious man into the room.

"No cameras. 'Least none that I can see. These all look like offices. I say we head up a few floors and hope we run into something better."

[fallsinplace]

Domino closed the door after them and went toward the stairs. "You think there's something better than offices? This might just be where the bureaucrats waste away."She pitied them. Living one's life without danger wasn't living at all. You didn't appreciate what you had until you were about to lose it.

She started up the stairs again, looking out for any guards that might be on the stairwell. Her hand itched to draw her gun, but she wasn't here to kill anyone. It was as much a comfort as a weapon for her. A missing extension of her arm.

A couple floors up the study fire door had a window in it. Domino paused to examine it and saw two guards. She motioned to Remy that they ought to take this door. One guard was a precaution. Two guards probably meant something good lived here.

[alwaysathief]

"Sure, there's gotta be," He smirked, eyes glinting. Why build a tower like this one just to fill it with boring old offices?

He fell into step with her on the stairwell, climbing higher with silent efficiency.

Without a word, he paused when she slowed to look through the window, raising an eyebrow at her in silent communication. This floor would do, and there was obviously some reason she wasn't just going straight through the door. Likely a guard.

He raised one finger in question, then two, then three, wanting to know how many she'd spotted.
