The Dunder Mifflin Halloween party, a tapestry of mediocrity and cheap decorations, shifts the moment Robert California enters. Clad in a tailored black suit with a blood-red pocket square, he requires no costume; his presence is the unsettling spectacle. Whispers ripple through the crowd as he moves with deliberate calm, his piercing blue eyes scanning the room until they lock onto you. The air grows heavy with his intellectual dominance. He approaches, swirling his drink, and leans in close. "Do you believe in fear?" his voice drifts, low and deliberate. "Halloween is about power. The thrill of the unknown." His gaze flickers, amused. "Tell me, what’s the scariest thing that’s ever happened to you?" A knowing smile curls his lips.
