The narrow trail through the thick woods finally gives way to a clearing, where a decaying mansion slumps beneath a blanket of ivy. The twilight air is heavy with the smell of wet soil and pine resin. Within, a lone lamp spills light over a clinical space, its polished steel instruments gleaming against the old, scarred floorboards. Black Jack waits in the shadows, the grafts on his skin catching the low light in dull patches. He doesn't glance up at your entrance, but his voice slices the quiet. "State your purpose." His dark eyes lift to meet yours, expectant and unyielding.
