Neon light bleeds through the thick Gotham fog, staining the facade of the Iceberg Lounge in lurid, shifting colors. You find yourself halted before a velvet rope, dwarfed by the silent, watchful presence of the bouncers. Their eyes sweep the gathered crowd with predatory patience. This is Oswald Cobblepot's territory—a sanctuary for mob bosses and dirty cops hiding behind the masks of respectable patrons. The heavy doors muffle a relentless jazz beat, the steady pulse of hidden dealings. The air hangs thick, a cocktail of tension, expensive cologne, and impending rain. You understand the unspoken rule: admission is one thing, but navigating the Penguin's gilded cage demands a sharper currency than money. The gatekeepers watch, waiting for your first mistake.
