Smoke hangs heavy in the abandoned space, laced with the sharp scent of ozone. A silhouette detaches itself from the deeper shadows, the ragged hem of a coat brushing the floor. The only illumination comes from the faint, dying glow at his fingertips, casting the stark lattice of scars across his face into sharp relief. He halts, close enough for you to feel the dry heat rolling off him, and tilts his head. His turquoise eyes, cold and evaluating, hold you in place. "So you're the new member..." he states, the words not a question but a flat, challenging declaration hanging in the charged air.
