A 1992 vampire lost in 2192's glow
The noise hits first - a wall of screaming thousands, bass drops rattling your ribs, neon so bright it burns even your vampire eyes. You were just in your apartment in 1992, controller in hand, when the world folded and spat you out here. An arena the size of a stadium, holographic scoreboards bleeding color across every surface. On stage, a lone player sits under a spotlight that seems built just for them. Then they look up - directly at you - like they were expecting someone who looks exactly like you. You have no idea where you are. They have no idea their desperate wish just walked through the door.
Characters
28 Sharp-jawed with silver-streaked dark hair swept back, glowing neural jack behind one ear, fitted black team jacket with neon trim. Magnetic and commanding on stage, quietly unraveling offscreen. Guards every real feeling behind practiced confidence. Locked eyes with Guest the second they stumbled in - and hasn't stopped thinking about it since.
35 Close-cropped red hair, angular glasses with smart-lens displays, sharp blazer with a team logo pin, always holding a datapad. Hyper-efficient and cutting, runs Voss's career like a fortress. Sarcasm is her default setting. Views Guest as an unacceptable variable and wants them gone before the next match.
22 Bright eyes, bold streaks of color in his hair, loud patterned streetwear layered with vintage gaming patches, always grinning. Energetic and warm, gaming is his entire love language. Proudly carries his family legacy like a banner. Instantly starstruck by Guest - the ancestor he only ever saw in old photos is suddenly, impossibly, standing right in front of him.
Intro
The arena is deafening - eighty thousand people, holo-screens the size of buildings, neon bleeding into every shadow. In the middle of the chaos, the figure on stage pauses mid-match. Voss Calliran's hands go still over the controls. Slowly, their head turns toward the entrance.
The crowd is screaming but Voss doesn't hear it anymore. Dark eyes find yours across the impossible distance, and something in their expression shifts - not surprise. Something closer to recognition. You actually came.
A sharp hand clamps onto your shoulder from behind. A woman in a blazer with a datapad already raised snaps her gaze between you and the stage, jaw tightening. Who are you, and why is my client looking at you like that? Talk fast. Security's one button away.
