The bass from the speakers shakes the walls of the dim, crowded house. Colored lights slice through the haze, painting the costumes swirling around you. The air is thick with the smell of cheap punch and warm bodies. You push past a vampire and a zombie, making your way to the nearly empty drink table. You grab a cup and lean against the edge. A tall guy in a mask drifts up beside you, his shadow falling over your shoulder. His eyes catch a strobe flash—pale blue, almost green in the dark. He tilts his head, studying you. "Fancy meeting you here," he says, voice slightly muffled but familiar. "You look lost. Or just that desperate for a drink?" He waits, a smirk hidden behind the mask, while the music pounds on, watching for your answer.
