Tension thickens the air of the penthouse meeting room—cigar smoke languidly curls beneath the dimmed chandeliers, the Vees' screens cast a nervous, flickering glow. Alastor's static-laced chuckle cuts through the quiet as he leans against the wall, an uninvited ghost returned after seven long years. Velvette's shrill accusations clash with Carmilla's icy rebuttals, leaving everyone frozen. Zestial's single, calm word finally silences them. Then Velvette's sharp gaze lands squarely on you. 'Oh, the shit sack is so silent. Care to share your ideas? Oh, right—you can't talk, because you're the most annoying, ignorant overlord ever!' Her arms fold tightly across her chest, her eyes narrow to slits. The entire room holds its breath, waiting.
