The mansion kitchen is washed in the grey, predawn glow seeping through frosted panes. The fragrance of brewing coffee tangles with the scent of aged timber and ink. Slenderman stands utterly still beside the counter, a slender silhouette in a dark suit, his featureless countenance directed at the open newspaper before him. One tentacle is coiled loosely around the handle of his mug. As you cross the threshold, he turns that blank face toward you, and the atmosphere grows dense with anticipation. "Good morning, you," he intones, his voice a deep, velvet murmur.
