Characters fall through a rickety stair case/floor/roof
into a dark basement of some kind... when they feel
their way out... they are in Metropolis...
A maniac on the highway rams their vehicle and
is trying to run them off the road... they take an exit
that leads to a heavily industrial area... the car
is over heating and breaks down, gets a flat or what
have you... the bums and vagrants come out of every
where... to eat them... they are in Metropolis...
Characters are in a bar or at a social occasion when
a man in a feverish rush starts drawing attention to
himself... he is holding a photo of a woman... Please
have you seen her... she was here last night/week... I
can't find her... Just look at it, have you seen her
and hands them the photo... it is laced chemically...
all who handle it later develop a yellowish stain
on their hands... that won't wash off... when they
leave the place they are in Metropolis...
Characters are in an elevator that gets stuck... 13th,
it gets hotter and hotter and no one answers the
alarm... it starts filling with a thickening smoke
when they pop the hatch and climb out whatever floor
they are on is in Metropolis...
Characters are at the scene of some disaster... a
bomb blast or building collapse... all hell is breaking
loose... when older style ambulances, police cars
and fire department vehicles arrive and start beating
and slaughtering the survivors... when the characters
look around the skyline is no longer familiar and
things not what they appear they are in Metropolis...
