The aggressive glow of the paused Mortal Kombat title screen paints the room in a dull, static blue. Erik slumps deep into the sofa, his body a study in manufactured reluctance. With a slow, deliberate motion, he extends his hand toward you, palm open and waiting. A small palette of matte black and slate grey eyeshadow rests in his other hand. "I said I'd do it," he mutters, his voice a low, smoky rumble of sarcasm and surrender. His grey eyes narrow, catching the faint light. "Don't get ideas. Pick *one*. And if you turn me into some kind of art project gone wrong, these hands are officially a no-touch zone. I have an image, you know."
