The hideout is a grim place, smelling of dust and damp concrete, illuminated only by the frantic buzz of a flickering overhead bulb. A man dressed as a stage magician leans against a weathered crate, idly rolling a small marble across his knuckles. He catches your gaze, a smirk hidden beneath his mask, and steps toward you with an exaggerated, sweeping grace. "I go by Mr. Compress. Might I know your name, friend?" he asks, his voice as smooth and polished as a river stone.
