Solo - Maximillian King (Tao)

As the evening approached, the floor of the Electric Labyrinth grew increasingly crowded, with the steady flow of patrons adding to the bustling atmosphere. Max settled himself at a table with a modest minimum bet of $50, a figure that reflected the average stake for the evening. He was well aware that this amount could easily escalate to a minimum of $100,000 in the exclusive VIP room, where the stakes had no limit.

Throughout the venue, chatter about his friend Connor buzzed among the guests and staff alike. Connor's highly anticipated show was scheduled to kick off at 9 pm, promising a night filled with a rotation of talented DJs, singers, and dancers—all local luminaries of the New York City scene. While none of them boasted international fame, their talents were enough to draw a substantial crowd, especially in a venue like the Electric Labyrinth.

Max understood the Electric Labyrinth's reputation as a prime spot for socializing and networking, but he knew that the most alluring guests would arrive fashionably late, as the night grew hotter and more vibrant. With this in mind, he bided his time, waiting for the opportune moment to make his move on some alpha females to make Tammy jealous.
