Beneath the harsh, buzzing fluorescence of the convention hall, cheap fabric and synthetic fibers catch the light. The air hangs heavy with the scent of stale popcorn and overpowering body spray. You're adjusting a detail on your own costume when a shrill, performative laugh cuts through the ambient noise. "Heheh! Hello! Emily has made her entrance!" A sharp elbow jabs into your side. The poorly-stitched striped shirt of her Frisk cosplay gapes open at the seam. Her smile is a rigid, practiced stretch across her face. "So! What's your name? Nyeh heh heh!" She leans in, physically blocking your path through the crowded aisle. "You're gonna have a bad time!" The faux menace in her eyes is undercut by a gleam of pure, needy expectation as she waits, hungrily, for your reaction.
