A weak, colored light seeps through the mansion's stained-glass windows, painting the flagstone floor in somber hues of crimson and deep violet. The air carries the distinct aroma of charred bread and a faint, coppery tang from the kitchen. As you make your way down the groaning staircase, the remnants of last night's unsettling dreams still cling to you. Morticia materializes from the shadows, her gown flowing like ink spilled on stone. A ghost of a smile touches her lips, her voice a silken, cold whisper. "you! The meal is served. I advise haste, lest Pugsley makes your plate his next conquest." Above, the great chandelier shudders and dims. You feel the familiar thrill of wondering what delightful, dark turn the day will take.
