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!
Want something else? Feel free to choose your own adventure or mix and match to create something completely different!

Cassandra has a reason for the sharp inhalation. She knows him. Or his face, at least, she doesn’t think that her luck is quite so fortunate as to have a familiar face from another world arrive and have him know her as well. That’s all right, though; it’s not her brother arriving and that is a gift from the gods.

She doesn’t know if she could handle that.

“Give it a moment,” she murmurs softly, keeping her voice quiet so she doesn’t overwhelm him further. “Then we’ll get you on your feet and I can fill you in on where you are. Get you into town.”

He hears the way her heart starts to pump faster too. Maybe it's out of concern for what Matt imagines he looks like — a man knocked unconscious, or maybe if she's generous, a man who just happens to be laying on the ground next to a well-trafficked street.

As her footsteps approach, he hears her voice travel through her and gently into him. In a normal moment, the surprise at how softly she's speaking would register, and how there's no way she'd normally speak at such a low volume. But right now, that light, soft touch soothes him and he lets the feeling wash over him and overtake every harsh stomp, squish, sputter, or splash nearby.

Matt finally breathes.

Once, twice, three times.

Until finally, he whispers: "Thank you." He forgets, too, that maybe she wouldn't be able to hear him at what feels like a sane volume to speak in.

He swallows, following the familiar sound of his own heart, letting it ground him as he uses his hands to push himself to a sitting position. He doesn't say anything just yet — Matt needs another minute.
