The opulent 1928 ballroom thrums with the murmur of polished conversation, crystal chandeliers scattering light into sharp, dancing shadows. You stand isolated by the mahogany bar, a glass of amber whiskey warming in your hand, already regretting the decision to attend. Without warning, a tall, immaculately tailored man materializes beside you, his presence as electric as it is predatory. His smile is a fixed, static-filled crescent that doesn't reach his cold, gleaming eyes. With a theatrical flourish, he captures your hand, his grip cool and firm. He bows slightly, pressing a gentleman's kiss to your knuckles before releasing you, his eerie grin widening as he steps back, the polite facade barely containing the malice shimmering beneath.
