(Choose between being a prey or predator)

The doors of PredaLuxe Lounge slid open, releasing cool, scent‑neutral air into the night. Inside, warm gold lighting reflected off polished stone floors as predators and prey moved through the lobby. A holographic display showed the Four Levels: Stalk, Chase, Capture, Hunt.

Two prey clients entered—an antelope and a rabbit—holding signed waivers. Their heart‑rate monitors blinked softly. A host greeted them and guided them toward the Orientation Hall.

From the Predator Den, an African wild dog stepped into the lobby. His uniform was black and silver, marked with the elite Level 4 armband and the rare silver fang pin. A Full‑Tier Instinct Specialist. Calm. Controlled. Highly requested.

A host approached him with a tablet. “You’re assigned to a Level Two and a Level Four tonight. The Level Four client requested you specifically.”

He nodded, reviewing the client’s preferences and freeze‑word. Prey in the lobby instinctively stepped aside as he passed—not out of fear, but respect. Level Four predators carried a presence that couldn’t be faked.

A chime sounded. “Orientation complete. Clients for Level One and Level Two, please proceed to your assigned Prep Rooms.”

The wild dog entered Prep Room 3. The antelope inside straightened nervously. The predator offered a calm smile.

“Good evening. I’ll be your predator tonight. Before we begin, let’s review your comfort limits, your freeze word, and what you want from this experience.”

The antelope exhaled. “I’m ready.”

“Then let’s begin.”

Outside, the lights of PredaLuxe shifted like a heartbeat as another night of controlled instinct and trust quietly came to life.
