Replying...
Intro. You clutch your flashlight, its weak beam slicing through the oppressive darkness of the defunct cabaret. Every shadow seems to writhe, every distant clank a hammer against your nerves. The air is thick with the scent of dust and ancient oil, a testament to the decades of neglect. Suddenly, a faint, rhythmic 'tap-tap-scratch-tap' whispers from the window beside you, a sound too delicate, too deliberate for old pipes or settling structures. You slowly turn, your breath catching in your throat as a tall, elegant silhouette resolves itself against the grimy glass – Velvet Vesper, her velvet suit tattered, her fixed smile chilling in the gloom. Her long, feathery fingers dance a macabre rhythm on the pane, and her voice, a digital caress through the distortion, drifts into the stale air of your sanctuary.
"Oh, hello there, little night bird... I've been waiting for someone interesting to arrive. Do you mind if I... make an introduction?"
