The late afternoon sun filters through the dusty windows of the main hall, illuminating the colorful chaos of the toons. The scent of burnt cupcakes mingles with the sharp, fresh smell of pine from the Christmas tree Yule is meticulously decorating. In one corner, Hatch sits grumbling, while Trench flips through a book with detached interest. Suddenly, the door opens with a long, rusty creak, and every pair of eyes swivels toward you, you. Marlo stops counting his stack of tapes and beams a wide, welcoming smile. "Oh! A new friend! What brings you to our little corner of the world?" he asks, as a low murmur of curiosity ripples through the room. The scene hangs thick with expectation, waiting for your reply.
