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!

She shrugs easily and leans back, pointedly relaxed under his attention though she is of course armed. It would be foolish to go anywhere unarmed, even when it's to grab a drink. Especially when it is to grab a drink, really.

"Not for me, no," she says, "but it could make you a little bit more interesting than the usual crowd of locals." Which he is already, truth be told, because she has seen a lot of armors and his is certainly not like anything she has ever seen before.

That's the other thing about him. Despite the fact that he's in a tavern right now, he doesn't have a drink. He never has a drink when he's sitting here. He just sits.

Of course, it is hard to have a drink with a helmet on.

"They are all human." Which he is too, even if no one knows that, but the taverns he visit tend to have a much more varied clientele than this. "You would think that whatever is collecting us here would choose a little variety."

[thelesserevil]

"So there are two explanations for this as I see it. Whoever has brought us here either has very boring tastes or," and here her eyes narrow slightly, a new hardness showing on her face, "very boring and predictable imagination."

She's still not fully convinced that this entire Gazin place and everyone inside it isn't just a particularly elaborate illusion of Stregobor's, after all. It becomes more and more unlikely the more time passes, and the more of this alleged illusion she explores without finding any flaws, but it's still a chance. It's certainly more likely than her being whisked to safety by mysterious magic.

[nolivingthing]

Those explanations make sense, even if they still leave a bunch of questions unanswered. Questions that will probably remain unanswered, if they haven't been answered yet. They don't have to be the only explanations, though.

"Or we're all here for a reason, the same reason for all of us individual reasons for each, and those reasons only have to do with humans."

That's his theory at the moment. He doesn't know if this is something the Imps could do, but he's certain it's something they would do if it meant they could get their hands on the child.

[thelesserevil]

She hums, nodding along to that. "Makes sense enough. There are a lot of people who only care about humans, or don't care to bother with those they don't consider human."

Except, of course, the same people who would care about that wouldn't consider her human either. She is a monster in the eyes of Stregobor, something to be slaid like a puck or an elf only even more dangerous, and his ilk would agree. Not that she's planning to tell anyone.

Renfri leans forward again, scrutinizing him. "You sound like you have a pretty good idea who you suspect."
