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!

'Disconcerting' was a word that Hayley would call an understatement here. One minute she was trying to get through the New Orleans bayou with her tiny daughter, her husband, and some of their pack of wolves, and the next? She... was here. By herself.

She smelled and heard the presence of the man before she saw him -- werewolves and their heightened senses (though, she as a part vampire hybrid, had senses even stronger, but, pft details) -- but what that didn't tell her was that he was also new here. So, when she crossed paths with him, she stopped with a confused look on her face. "Do you know where...." She trailed off for a moment. "...anywhere is?" She wasn't sure what she was looking for, truthfully. Her accent had picked up more of a New Orleans flavour to it over the past couple of years she's been back in the city ('back', as if she'd ever spent much time in one place, or even had any idea she was from New Orleans until a couple years ago, as if she actually grew up there). She gave a short, quiet laugh, mostly at herself. "Sorry, I'm new here and totally confused, so anywhere useful would be a plus."

The very familiar accent in this particular case put him on edge. She was instantly suspicious. Voodoo? The assassin's guild? Someone else who wanted revenge on him or his family or... who the hell knew anymore? But she sounded as lost as he was, even if he was keeping a carefully manicured air of nonchalance about him.

He'd play nice for now, but could that New Orleans accent really be nothing more than a coincidence?

"Anywhere, chérie?" His own accent was obvious and overstated, an easy Southern drawl with plenty of French undertones. He gave an acknowledging nod when she clarified things.

"Well, unfortunately, you and I seem to be in the same boat," He scanned what he could see of the skyline from the mouth of the alleyway they'd landed in, fixing his gaze on the large tower some ways away which seemed to be the only large building of note, "Looks like a convenience store just over there. Maybe they'd be so kind as to give us some directions, hm?"

It seemed like as good a place to start as any.
