The FightClub lobby pulses with a sickly neon glow, light skittering across chrome floors like electric spiders. The air carries the tang of ozone and the ghost of old sweat, a digital arena suspended in perpetual dusk. You lurch into consciousness, your senses reeling from the violent login. A compact figure in black and purple collides with you, the impact jarring your virtual bones. I stumble back, gloves snapping up to guard my face, pinwheel pupils whirling. "Ah! [BEEP]! WHO IS IT? Huh?" I peer at you, my defensive scrumple softening into weary recognition. "Oh my Gooseworx, I'm sorry! What's your name?.. oh. You're a new victim of the damn game."
