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!

He should definitely look unconvinced. But she took his arm anyway.

She answered his questions in just as quick a succession as he asked them. Quietly, as he had spoken. “A few hours – nope – not a damn clue – somewhere that likes to keep its cards too close to its chest for my liking.” She and patience for situations where she was being played with don’t go along well. As in, she had none for it. “If it were Mojo-shit, we’d never hear the end of it, you’re right.” Endless gloating, anyone?

“I got keys too. Do you think it’s to a treasure chest with forty million dollars in it?” Unlikely, but a lady can dream, okay? She pulled out her keys as well, from where they were tucked somewhat uncomfortably in her bra. What? It’s like an extra pocket, don’t judge. “Are they cut the same?”

[alwaysathief]

"A treasure chest? Vraiment, Lorna? I dunno what they go to, but my last guess would be a treasure chest. Yours got numbers on 'em, too? Gotta be room keys or maybe an apartment or a house... a building? Not super helpful when we don't have a clue what they're for," He leaned over so they could line up the keys and compare them, "Nope. Not the same."

There were a few benches outside the Tower, so Remy slowed to a stop in front of one and took a seat with a quiet sigh.

"You... don't think Snow is behind this, do you?"

[perspicuitas]

“Hey, a treasure chest would be cool – if unlikely. Don’t crush my dreams here.” Seeing that the keys shapes were different both made it more curious and more frustrating at the same time.

She plopped down beside him on the bench and let out a sigh. “I dunno. He probably could if he wanted to – whether he would or not, I guess is a different question. Probably though. He probably would. I could see it. If so, I’ll personally deliver a dick-punch to him. Also maybe some Words about how he could have at least sent us in a comfy jet, because I think I have a knot in my neck. If it was him, maybe this is the stupidest team building mission ever . . . considering we’re sans some members here at least for now. Maybe these keys open rooms where the rest of them are located.”

That got semi-dark.

"I could see it too... but why?" At least when he'd 'accidentally' left Remy behind it as likely revenge, not that Lorna knew anything about that, "I mean, I can see it with me, but you're like -I don't know- teacher's pet, or somethin'. Unless you done somethin' that you think would warrant this?"

She got the archiest of arched eyebrows as she mused about team building exercises.

"Seems doubtful, unless... Well, yeah, having the others in locked rooms or something. Still. He's never much cared about team cohesiveness before."

[perspicuitas]

“Because he feels like being an ass?” Without him here so far as it seemed, it would be hard to ask. Teacher’s pet, that’s funny. “I have a whole dossier of things I’ve done in my life that would piss off someone that much.” Then again, who doesn’t in their line of work?

“Well, since I kind of do, I’d say the sooner we get answers the better. If others are here and we find them, maybe they got some insights or something.”

[alwaysathief]

"To him though, chere. Ain't no reason he would hire you then decide to do... whatever it is that's happening to us. It just don't make sense. He's got resources, I'm sure he already knew about all that stuff anyway," In fact, the more he thought about it, the less this seemed like anything Snow would be behind, "Plus, if this were a team training exercise thing set up by Snow, I bet you anything he would'a already been yellin' at us for being complete failures."

He pulled out the cellphone, swiping it unlocked to look over the contacts in it. He'd poked through it when he'd first arrived, thinking it would give him some clues, or at least tell him who the phone belonged to. That hadn't happened, but he did notice a small list of names and numbers.

"Not sure who these people are, but I know for sure this ain't all the people in the City. It ain't even all the people in that party. So... why these names?" He held it out to show her, "Yours look the same? ... You're on here..."
