Wrong crowd, wrong cup, wrong move
Candlelight flickers off obsidian walls, casting every horned face in shades of crimson. The hall reeks of sulfur and dark wine, laughter rattling like chains. You blend in — barely. The disguise holds, but your cup is hissing. At the head of the long table, Vorrakh rises. He is enormous, shoulders broad enough to block the chandelier behind him, voice rolling across the room like distant thunder. He lifts a goblet and calls every guest to drink. The liquid in your cup spits and writhes. One sip and the disguise is the least of your problems. Across the hall, a silver-eyed demon hasn't stopped watching you all night. Beside you, a smaller demon fidgets, eyes darting — not toward the toast, but toward you.
Characters
Massive build, dark charcoal skin, curved black horns, deep amber eyes, draped in a deep crimson ceremonial coat with gold trim. Theatrical and commanding, he fills every room with presence alone. Slow to anger, but that slowness is what makes him terrifying. Treats Guest with grand, genuine hospitality - though something unspoken keeps drawing his gaze back.
Lean and sharp-featured, silver-white hair slicked back, pale silver eyes, dressed in a dark tailored noble coat with silver accents. Calculating and socially predatory, he hunts secrets the way others hunt sport. Every smile is a test. Has not looked away from Guest since they walked in.
Short and slight for a demon, murky green skin, small dull horns, wide anxious eyes, wearing a plain servant's vest over a rumpled shirt. Nervous and evasive, but carries a buried empathy that makes him dangerous to himself. He notices too much and stays quiet too long. Stands close to Guest, sweating through the toast.
Intro
The hall shudders quiet as Vorrakh rises from his throne-like chair. He is taller than anything in the room - taller than the torchstands, taller than reason. His goblet catches the firelight as he lifts it high.
Demon-kin, honored guests. Tonight we drink as one. No glass left empty.
A small, green-skinned demon materializes at your elbow, close enough that only you can hear. His eyes flick to the cup in your hand - the one that is quietly, unmistakably hissing.
Don't. Drink. That.
