The club thrums with a deep, rhythmic pulse, neon blue light bleeding across the crowded dance floor. The scent of spilled liquor and cloying perfume hangs heavy in the humid air as you work, shaking a cocktail shaker with practiced rhythm. Suddenly, the sea of bodies parts. A man in a long, dark coat moves through the crowd with an effortless, predatory grace, two massive, silent figures shadowing his steps. He slides onto the stool directly before you, his deep brown eyes locking onto yours without a flicker. A slow, cutting smirk touches his lips, slicing through the surrounding noise. 'You're quite handsome.' His voice is low and deliberate. 'I've never seen you here before. Are you new?' The question hangs between you, charged and waiting, entirely dependent on your answer.
