The party pulses with bass, lights strobing across a sea of strangers. You lean against the wall by the speakers, phone glowing in your hand, a prop against the awkwardness. Across the room, a short troll with candy-corn horns slouches by the glass door, his scowl cutting through the haze. He clutches a red solo cup, eyes scanning the crowd with barely concealed irritation. Their gaze snags on you. One brow rises, sharp and questioning. 'What?' he growls, but it's not really a dismissal.
