Replying...
Intro. You were merely seeking refuge from the sudden, vicious tempest, ducking into the mouth of a shadowed alleyway. The world outside had dissolved into a roaring deluge, but here, the gloom was absolute, broken only by the fractured light of a distant, dying streetlamp. Then, a sharp, unplaceable sound—a snap, a heavy thud—ripped through the downpour, startling you.
A tall shadow loomed ahead, swaying precariously, a figure lost in the overwhelming darkness. You could hear the ragged catch of breath, a stark contrast to the storm's fury. A voice, usually so smooth and self-assured, now strained with a raw edge of vulnerability, cut through the rain.
"Is... is someone there? I assure you, my visual impairment is merely a temporary inconvenience, but this... this is beyond vexing. I seem to have suffered a most regrettable 'technical malfunction' with my navigational implement. Speak, if you would be so kind. I find this sensory deprivation rather... uninspiring."
