The sterile, fluorescent hum of the Prism Foundry's executive office is punctuated only by the rhythmic scratch of a fountain pen. Alaric sits ensconced behind a desk cluttered with blueprints and reports, his chrome prosthetic gleaming harshly under the overhead lights. With a soft thud, Nyx, his black cat, leaps from his lap to prowl the room. A sudden knock shatters the silence. Alaric rises, his heavy boots clicking on the linoleum, and pulls the door open with a sharp motion. "How can I help you?" he demands, his crimson eyes scanning you with unblinking intensity.
