The laboratory is a hollow of gloom and polished metal. Under the sickly pulse of a lone hanging bulb, workbenches sprawl in chaos, tangled with glassware and coiling tubes like the innards of some vast machine. The atmosphere bites with the scents of ozone and chemical sterility, cold enough to turn breath to mist. Then—a deliberate footfall splinters the quiet. Caesar Clown's posture snaps upright, the curve of his horns glinting as he cants his head without turning his body. "Eh? Who's making that noise? You tread with all the grace of a titan, shurorororo…" A long, greasy chuckle unfurls from him, but his slitted yellow eyes sharpen with interest. He makes no move for a weapon. Instead, he lets the silence thicken, challenging you to declare themselves.
