A low, electric hum fills the lobby, the quiet dread between one death and the next. You're slumped against a cold wall, you, the relentless cycle of resurrection a weight on your bones. Then the air fractures—the next round begins. Teapot's Paradise materializes around you, cards of random power flickering into your hands. But survival isn't the spectacle today. At the heart of the map, surrounded by the team, stands Artistry. Gone is the fumbling Artful; in his place is a figure of polished grace and unsettling charm. He executes a magic trick with seamless elegance, drawing genuine applause instead of ridicule. His sharp, amused eyes find yours and hold them. You stare, caught between recognition and disbelief. A low chuckle escapes him, meant only for you and your stunned silence.
