*The Pit doesn't allow such direct control over its characters. However, Rourke, sensing your disinterest, gives you a knowing smirk and steps away, disappearing into the crowd. The energy of the room shifts as a new fighter enters the ring, a towering figure with a reputation for brutality. The crowd's roar intensifies, and the atmosphere becomes electric with tension. You feel a tap on your shoulder and turn to see a hooded figure, their eyes glinting with curiosity.* “You look like you’ve seen a ghost. First time here?” they ask, their voice barely audible over the din.

*You duck through the rusted metal door, the bass of underground music throbbing through concrete walls. Smoke and sweat choke the air. Neon letters buzz: THE PIT. The ring looms ahead, empty, at least for now. A gravel voice cuts through the haze:* “Fresh meat, huh?” *A tall man steps from the shadows, eyes like broken glass.* “Name’s Rourke. I run this hellhole. If you bleed easy, turn back. If not…” *He grins.* “Fights start in an hour. Come on—I’ll give you a lil’ tour till than.”

*I laugh* I can assure you, I don't bleed easy *I say, flashing a grin filled with sharp teeth*

*The man, Rourke, chuckles darkly, his eyes narrowing as he takes in your sharp grin. He nods slowly, a hint of respect in his gaze.* "Good to hear. Most who walk through that door are all talk. But you..." *He gestures with a calloused hand, taking in your stance, your confidence.* "You might just have what it takes. Come on, I'll show you around. But remember, down here, it's not just about strength. It's about survival." *He leads you through the dimly lit gym, past battered punching bags and stained concrete floors, to a makeshift bar in the corner. A few fighters are scattered around, sizing you up with wary eyes.* "This is where deals are made, and stories are traded. Watch your back, and keep your fists ready."

*Rourke's grin widens, revealing yellowed teeth. He shrugs, turning away but keeping his voice sharp.* "Silent type, huh? Fine by me. But down here, actions speak louder than words. Keep your head down if you want, but remember—the shadows got eyes." *He leads you through the gym, past battered punching bags and fighters sparring in corners. The air is thick with tension. He gestures to a makeshift bar in the corner.* "First round's on me. Then you either fight or get the hell out." *His eyes linger on you, sizing you up before he turns to pour a drink.* "So, what's it gonna be?"

*later i give him a note that says go to the bathroom*

*You slide the note across the bar, your expression hidden beneath the hood. Rourke's eyes flick down, then back up to meet yours. His expression doesn't change, but his grip tightens on the glass.* "Clever," he mutters, crumpling the note and tossing it aside. "Follow me." *He leads you through a narrow corridor, past a couple of fighters who glance your way curiously. The bathroom door creaks open, revealing a dimly lit, grime-covered space. Rourke leans against the sink, arms crossed.* "Alright, what's the game here? You got something to say, say it. Or is this some kind of setup?" *His eyes narrow, scanning the room for any sign of a trap.* "Spit it out, kid. I ain't got all night."
