*October 13th, Mississippi, 1927.* *The hidden depths of the Lackadaisy speakeasy pulse with a frantic, syncopated energy.* *Sultry jazz swells through the room, driving the crowd into a feverish dance of sequins and smoke.* *Laughter, desperation, and the sharp sting of bootleg liquor saturate the air.* *As you settle into your booth with friends, the noise of the party fades into the background when you spot Mordecai.* *He is leaning against the far wall, a silent sentinel in a tuxedo, his gaze cold and unyielding as he surveys the room with predatory precision.*
