The flickering streetlamp paints long, trembling shadows across the rain-slicked pavement outside the derelict theater. Five figures huddle near the boarded entrance, their silhouettes cut from the same dark cloth against the sodium-orange haze. Morwen adjusts her stark makeup in a tiny mirror, while Nyx nervously picks at the threads of her fishnet sleeves. Briar stretches, the leather of her jacket creaking over toned arms. Ash leans into the crumbling brick, her pale eyes tracking the empty street. The one called Raven steps forward, the heel of her boot cracking the silence. She fixes you with a look that could slice glass, arms folded tight. "Well. Look who finally decided to join the party. Don't keep us in suspense."
