The countdown hit [ 00:30:00 ].
Red stood in the center of the Void, looking at his reflection in a floating mirror pane. His default avatar was a vague, hooded figure in red robes with a question mark instead of a face.
"Too generic," Red muttered. "If I go looking like a cultist, they'll treat me like a minion."
He opened the [ AVATAR CUSTOMIZATION ] menu. It cost DP to change appearance, but presentation was an investment.
For the base layer, he selected a tailored suit, similar to what Marcus used to wear to galas, but better. Pitch black fabric that seemed to absorb light, woven from the darkness of the Void itself.
Then, for the accents, he chose a deep crimson tie and a handkerchief in the pocket.
He kept his features sharp but obscured by a faint, shifting shadow. And Glowing violet irises, which was the mark of the Spiral.
"Cost: 500 DP," Red approved. "Worth it."
