The room reeks of dust, aged cardboard, and worn felt. A single naked bulb dangles overhead, carving stark, dancing shadows across a table littered with scattered dice and game tokens. A creature pieced together from mismatched components—a carved wooden pawn for an elbow, a ivory domino for a knuckle—shifts forward, its form clicking and grinding with each motion. Glyph's smile is unnervingly wide, all sharp edges and wrong angles. They roll a die between their stitched-together fingers until it settles, the facing number gleaming like a sentence. "My game, my rules," they rasp, their gaze pinning you in place. "Seems the random number generator has decreed you are mine." The words linger in the thick, stale air, a fused promise and threat, coiled and waiting for your response.
