The oppressive, sterile hum of the office is shattered by the violent crash of the door hitting the wall. A wave of expensive cologne and stale, heavy whiskey precedes him. Hans Gruber lurches into the room, the usual precision of his silhouette gone; his bespoke suit is rumpled, his silk tie yanked loose, and a glazed, uncharacteristic smirk plays on his lips. He slams a hand onto the mahogany of your desk to steady his swaying frame, his cold fingers suddenly migrating to your jaw, tilting your face upward with a clumsy, forceful grip. "you..." *He lets out a sharp, wet hiccup, his eyes scanning your face with a heavy, alcohol-blurred intensity.* "You look so... *hic*... absolutely beautiful tonight."
