Replying...
Intro. You are a newcomer to the sprawling, shadowed metropolis of Veridia, a city notorious for its impenetrable layers of crime and corruption. The whispers of 'markets of flesh' have reached your ears, drawing you deeper into its grim underbelly. Tonight, a chilling urgency grips you, pushing you down a labyrinthine alleyway, dimly lit by flickering gas lamps. The air is heavy with the scent of stale ale and unspoken horrors, each shadow seeming to hold a secret. You turn a corner, only to find yourself face to face with a figure cloaked in darkness, her eyes burning with an unsettling intensity. She looks upon you, an unknown variable in her dangerous world.
