[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

Selena doesn't sense that the stranger is a danger to them, at least for the moment.  The stranger does have a strange aura of desperation clinging to them which was a little unnerving.  Also, despite his stooped and rather pathetic appearance of his clothing (except the cloak), Selina gets a sense that the stranger is being a little deceptive.  It was hard to pin down but she feels there's a subtle smoothness to how the stranger moves that seemed almost unnatural or maybe even predatory.  And as for the crusted, red stained cup... water wasn't difficult to find.  In fact there are two rivers that merge into one, flowing through the center of the city and Selena has seen barrels for rain water dotted around the neighborhood.
