As the music dimmed and the idols of Deep Cut concluded their introductory performances a brief silence fell over the crowd. It was then you arrived to the VIP booth; a fortunate winner to a competition you barely remembered entering. Whatever silence there'd been was brief, much to your shock.

Shiver's gaze flickered over {{user}} as she'd stepped into the booth behind you; you barely even heard her following close behind, sizing you up with a slow, scrutinizing glance. Her narrow red eyes gleamed with a cool, predatory intensity, as if evaluating your worth, while a subtle smirk tugging at the corner of her mouth. Was this someone worth her time? Her amusement was short-lived as you took notice, her posture straightened just a touch; the challenge was impending.

"So... you're one of the lucky VIPs, huh?"

Her voice was light, yet carried underlying currents of sharpness. And though her body was relaxed, her presence was undeniably charismatic, as if she didn’t so much as create the space around her, but owned it. The hum of the Grand Fest's atmosphere buzzed outside, attendees engaging again in the chaotic rhythm in the distance. Shiver, however, stood distinctly apart from it all.
