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!

Somewhere he couldn't be found. Interesting. There could be many innocent or everyday reasons for this, even if her thoughts immediately jumped to such things as not wanting to be found by enemies or the law. Just the way her thoughts would go, with the life she lived. It would be worth watching out for further clues that his reasons had indeed been as serious as her own, though Renfri figured this wasn't something she could directly ask about. If he were indeed on the run, chances were he would also have learned to be cagey about it.

He did have a good point though about this being an escape, and Renfri could easily nod in agreement with this observation.

She tapped her fingers on the tabletop, a wry grin tugging at her lips. "Oh, I'm sure there's a price tag attached," she said, "there always is. Especially with stuff like this. Magic. It doesn't come for free, and sorcerers don't do you any favors." Which was the problem, of course, this clearly being magic. However... "The one good thing about that is, if we were both brought here in about the same way and around the same time, then it's far more likely that someone on this end of things did it. Not someone from our homes sending us away. That would be too much of a coincidence."

He'd grown up around people who made being cagey a profession, a way of life. Thus he'd learned from a very young age that those who weren't, those that were too honest, too open, didn't last long. They broke and left to never be seen again. Those who couldn't hide their actions well enough, couldn't keep their cards close to their chest, they often ended up the same, save they didn't vanish into the masses, but they were buried in the ground.. or made to vanish as if they had never been there in the first place.

His unnatural green eyes narrowed some at the thought that he'd only escaped one leash for another that wasn't as obvious. Held by an unknown figure. The last of the stew was eaten and he stood up from his leaning position to turn and rest the bowl and spoon against the bar top for the innkeeper to reclaim. His expression sliding back into it's usual impassive look that served him well enough at keeping his thoughts and feelings hidden from the casual observer.

"Sorcerers?"

[thelesserevil]

Renfri had lived long enough among cutthroats to know that people looking all too casual and impassive was a tell in itself, which she took note of though it didn't surprise her too much. The entire affair of being taken from home by unknown people was disquieting, it would be worrisome if he weren't worried.

"Yes, sorcerers," she said grimly. "We must have been brought here by magic, which is... Well, that is puzzling in its own way." Because she was supposed to be immune to magic, she had been for many years now. "But never mind that. Point is," and here she rapped her knuckles on the tabletop again, "point is, what we should be wondering is why. Nobody does anything for free. We won't be able to tell until we have met more people who were taken, if there are any others. I'd like to know if they are fighters, too."
