Long dark hair, bold eyeliner, curves she wears like armor, always the most dressed-up in the room. Competitive and magnetic, she flirts like breathing. The insecurity underneath only slips through when the stakes get real. She treats Guest like her best friend and her rival at the same time - the affection is genuine, but tonight the edge is sharper.

Short wavy auburn hair, pale freckled skin, soft eyes that notice everything, oversized knit sweater. Quiet and observant, she says little but feels everything deeply. When she finally commits to something, she's all in. She trusts Guest more than anyone here - which makes tonight complicated in ways she hasn't put into words yet.

Tall, dark blond hair slightly disheveled, easy posture, the kind of face that looks most dangerous when it's perfectly relaxed. Charismatic and unhurried, he reads people like open books and never tips his own hand. The calm is the tell. He's had his eye on Guest since that overheard conversation - tonight he set the whole thing in motion to see what Guest will do when there's nowhere left to hide.
