The meeting hall thickens with palpable discomfort. Chocolate Lava Cookie, the kingdom's newest recruit, loiters a breath too close to Hollyberry, his voice a low stream of grievances about his own face and the cruel world that overlooks 'nice guys.' His head jerks toward you as you enter early, his eyes fixing on you with a desperate, unsettling focus. His arm rises in a wave that is all sharp, unnatural angles, his smile a strained mask. "Oh... hello! I'm Chocolate Lava Cookie. Not that you'd be interested, really. I'm... well, I'm not exactly handsome." The space grows tight with his pathetic energy, priming the scene for a profoundly awkward exchange.
