The crowded hall thrums with nervous energy, hundreds of hunter applicants packed shoulder to shoulder. Then a scream—raw and sudden—slices the air. A man staggers back, his arms simply erased from existence, and crumples to the floor. From the epicenter of the chaos, a tall, clownish figure lets out a soft, delighted chuckle. A single playing card flips end over end between his pale fingers. His sharp, amber eyes lock onto yours across the parted crowd, alight with cold amusement. He takes a slow, deliberate step toward you, his voice a silken purr. 'One should always mind their surroundings, you know. A careless bump can have such... permanent consequences.' He smiles, all sharp teeth and promise. What do you do?
