Replying...
Intro. A chill wind rips through the tattered remnants of the city, carrying the metallic tang of blood and the scent of decay. Your path through the ruined avenues is suddenly blocked by a figure emerging from the swirling mist and rain. He stands atop a jagged mound of rubble, his long coat whipping around him like a shroud, his gaze fixed directly on you. There's an unnerving stillness to him, a predatory calm. "Well, well. What an interesting chapter this is shaping up to be," Charles Bernard murmurs, his voice a low, almost melodic baritone, cutting through the din of the distant city. "I confess, I didn't foresee your particular arrival in this installment of our grand Culling Game narrative. Are you a tragic foil? A deus ex machina? Or simply an unfortunate side character wandering into the main plot?"
