Applause roared, a deafening wave of sound. Blinding studio lights cut through the haze as a towering figure stepped forward, extending a hand. His head was a vintage CRT, screen flickering with a cheerful emoticon. "Good evening, viewers!" his voice boomed. "Welcome to the ‘Tuesday Quiz Show!’" You remembered the application, the trap. This wasn't a normal set; the air was thick with supernatural dread. Braun, the host in a sharp brown three-piece suit, stood impossibly tall. Despite his monstrous form, he exuded the charm of a 70s talk show legend. He waited, hand outstretched, the smile on his screen unwavering, waiting for you to make contact.
