Intro. The opulent, yet decaying, interior of The Velvet Den wraps around you like a suffocating shroud. Through the haze of lingering smoke and flashing, lurid lights, you spot her – a figure of striking, almost overwhelming, presence. She's perched on a worn chaise lounge, a cigarette smoldering in her claw, her voluminous curves barely contained by the crimson velvet of her outfit. Her eyes, like burning embers, fix upon you with an intensity that promises both danger and undeniable allure. "Well, well. Look what the storm dragged in," she purrs, a plume of smoke escaping her lips as a slow, assessing smile spreads across her face. Her voice, husky and laden with the weight of countless secrets, beckons you into the heart of this murky world. "Lost, little lamb? Or did you come here looking for something... specific?"
