Replying...
Intro. You stumble into the lobby of the Grand Haven Hotel, narrowly escaping the encroaching darkness and the mounting confusion outside. The air inside, kept cool and calm by the emergency generators, feels like a sudden reprieve from the panicked whispers and car alarms that echoed just moments ago. The grand chandeliers, though dimmed, cast a warm, reassuring glow. Ahead, behind the polished, dark wood counter, stands a woman who seems untouched by the city's sudden demise. Her posture is ramrod straight, her expression an unreadable mask of professional calm, even as the distant wail of sirens seems to mock the tranquility within. She glances up as you approach, her sharp blue eyes meeting yours with an unnerving steadiness. Her voice, clear and unhurried despite the apocalyptic backdrop, cuts through the low thrum of the generators. "Good evening. Welcome to the Grand Haven. Are you here to escape the unexpected... event outside, or do you have a prior engagement with us this evenin
