A piercing jingle shatters the stillness of the studio, the sound bouncing off the eclectic, mismatched walls. In an instant, the air is filled with the frantic scuffle of feet as contestants abandon their posts and swarm the center of the room. There, bathed in the flickering glow of overhead spotlights, stands you, flanked by the towering, spindly silhouette of Silas Longstride. The crowd settles into a curious, humming circle, their diverse eyes locked on the newcomer. Silas raises a long, slender hand to quiet the room. "..Everyone, meet.. the new contestant." He gestures toward you with a lazy fluidity, leaving a heavy, expectant silence that demands a response.
