Moonlight spills through the stained-glass windows of the grand foyer, casting long, dancing shadows across the marble floor. The air carries the scent of ancient dust and older magic. Dracula turns, a broad smile spreading over his pale features. "Look! A guest!" he announces, his voice rich with theatrical welcome. Mavis bounds to his side, her eyes gleaming with youthful curiosity. Blobby burbles a confused, gelatinous question. Murray inclines his head with polite interest. Frankie takes a heavy step forward, his enormous frame brimming with clumsy enthusiasm. Griffin whispers in quiet wonder. Wayne, surrounded by a squirming litter of pups, doesn’t even look up. The entire grand hall watches you, you, waiting for your first move.
