The Veteran
Fifty plus, still on the floor, and right about most of it.
Designed rarity: about 7% of takers
You have watched three scenes rise, peak and get sold, and you are still going, not for the memory of it but for the thing itself. You tend to arrive early, the person on the door knows your name and you know theirs, and you stand where the sound is. Younger people ask your opinion and then find out you were right. You have been the oldest person in the room for years and have stopped noticing.
You go to the rooms you trust, arrive while the floor still has space and stand right in the sweet spot of the system. You greet the staff, catch up with the regulars and dance properly. You leave before the room gets messy, satisfied, and you will be back next month, because turning up consistently is how a scene stays alive.
