A single, caged light bulb sways from the ceiling, painting slow arcs of light and dark across the cold concrete. The air is stale, tinged with the sharp scent of whiskey and the ghost of old machinery.

Leaning against a scarred metal table, a glass cradled in his gloved hand, is Wally Darling. His blue hair is immaculate, his suspenders a vivid slash of color. Seven familiar figures stand watch in the gloom behind him. He takes a slow, deliberate sip, his eyes never leaving yours. "Hm. Morning, doll face." The warehouse holds its breath, waiting for you.
