SCENARIOS

01. Arrival

You have been sitting and staring at the sign above you for some time now, lost in a blur of swirling questions that seems to start with how you ended up there; in a place (and time, maybe) that you know you weren't an hour earlier. Or maybe you're an old hand at this by now and you've figured out that this is simply another stop that the multiverse bus has made. So why not get off and look around a little?

At any rate, the sign points you towards the direction of a place called "Gazin", which looks like a decent-sized town from where you stand. There has to be someone who can explain.

02. Around Town

So, you've settled in. Well, mostly. At least you know where things are without taking too many wrong turns and ending up in the less desirable areas of town. But now you can go about your day. Visit the market, check out the local shops or have a drink with a new friend at one of several inns.

03. Exploring

You've heard people talk about some pretty interesting places and now you're itching to get out and find them. Be careful though, there are creatures and monsters out there that will be pretty interested in meeting you and may wish to have you for its next meal. Better take someone along. And maybe some weapons, too. Make sure one is made of silver.

04. Monsters

So, you managed to find that location you were looking for. Good for you! Only.. it seems you've also found one of the native creatures to the area and you now face to face with it. Um. Good luck! We'll see you when you get back!

Hopefully.

05. Celebration

It won't take long for you to figure out that people of Gazin are, all in all, pretty happy people. It shows, too, when a seemingly quiet evening suddenly bursts into a random, impromptu party to celebrate whatever good fortune has touched a person. Name Days, good harvests, betrothals, weddings, or just life in general.

Sing, dance, drink and be happy, too!

06. Wild Card!

Duo had meant to move on. To go about his way. It was tempting, sure, to fall back into skills he hadn't needed since he was younger. In the end, though, a man caught his eye. He had walked right up to the older woman's stall, paid for a few pieces of fruit...and was making his way in Duo's direction.

He froze, his hands in his pockets when the man approached him. He tensed some, when the fruit was held out to him. Looking between the fruit and the man in white, Duo sighed and brought out a hand to rub the back of his neck. Busted.

"Uh, thanks. Yeah, old habits and all that. Didn't realize I spoke out loud." He hesitated before taking the fruit from the man in front of him. "I'll have to keep your offer in mind, though considering the fact I have no idea who you are, it would be kinda hard to find you." A shrug, and Duo took a bite of the fruit. An apple. Wonderful.

"So? You got a name?" he asked with the apple still in his mouth. Apparently no one ever taught him to not talk with his mouth full.

"Most people wouldn't have heard you. A blind man's senses are just a little sharper is all. And you do make a good point."

He laughs softly at his words, or rather, the way they point out things that he hadn't considered. Sometimes even the most obvious things can get by him.

"I'm Xiao Xingchen. I come to this market almost every day. I live..." He pauses for a moment, turning his head like he's listening for something. He finally points in a direction. "That way. Three hundred and eighty-two steps."

Xingchen listens to him eat for a moment before coming up with an idea.

"If you wouldn't mind helping me, I could make a meal for us."

There were moments where Duo knew when to keep his thoughts to himself. They were few and far between, but they existed. More often than not, however, his brain-to-mouth filter decided to malfunction and he just spoke the first thing that popped into into his head.

"You get around pretty good for a blind guy."

He blinked and swallowed his bite as he felt his cheeks heat up. Wow, what a way to meet someone, huh? Embarrassing, really. Quick, Maxwell, salvage this!

"I'm Duo. Duo Maxwell and uh...sorry about that." He looked off in the direction where Xingchen pointed before glancing back at the man in white. "Are you sure? About the meal? We just met..." Still, he stepped closer, only slightly, not quite sure how he was suppose to help, or what he was helping with. He just took another bite of the apple to keep his mouth occupied.
