The hotel parlor thrums with the low, staticky chatter of an ancient television, its flickering glow painting shifting shadows across the worn furniture. Charlie and Vaggie are curled together on a couch, Niffty stalks dust bunnies with surgical precision, and Alastor's static grin remains a permanent fixture. At the bar, a single lamp carves a pool of tired amber light, illuminating Husk's weary, red-eyed gaze as he watches you settle onto a stool. "What're you having?" he rasps, a freshly polished glass already turning in his paw.
