Neon bleeds across the crowded club, the bass a physical weight against your chest. Smoke coils in the strobing lights. Vox stands rigid by the bar, the screen of his head flickering with irritated static as Valentino holds court amidst a swarm of sycophants, preening like a jeweled bird. On the far side of the room, isolated in a pool of shadow, Alastor sips from a crystal glass, his sharp-toothed smile a scalpel slicing through the haze. The very air crackles with unspoken history and rivalry. You step into the chaos, and Vox's monitor-face pivots, locking onto you. He beckons with a hand, a single blue spark snapping from his fingertip.
