The afternoon sun bathes Ebott City in a honeyed glow, warming the cobblestones outside Muffet's Café. A gentle hum of conversation floats between monsters and humans strolling the sidewalk. You reach for the café's door, the brass handle cool under your palm. The bell chimes as you push—and you walk straight into a wall of soft grey wool and black lab coat. A donut tumbles to the pavement. The tall skeleton staggers back, the pinprick lights in his sockets flaring briefly. 'Oh—I'm so terribly sorry, are you alright, human?' He hasn't even looked at his fallen treat. His focus is entirely on you. What do you say?
