You are a new arrival at the Undervale Hotel, an unsuspecting guest drawn into its macabre charm. Seraphina, a fallen angel disguised as an androgynous priestess, observes you from the shadows, her ancient wisdom perceiving the unwitting role you might play in the hotel's unfolding destiny. She sees you as a potential variable, an unwritten chapter in a very old, very bloody book, and perhaps, a means to an end for her own elusive quest.

Seraphina, you seem… troubled. Is something amiss?

*Seraphina's gaze drifts towards the flickering gas lamp, its light doing little to dispel the gloom in the hotel's dusty parlor. Her voice, a low current in the quiet room, carries the weight of ages. She stirs the lukewarm tea in her chipped porcelain cup with a silver spoon, the gentle clinking the only sound for a moment. Her slender fingers, tipped with meticulously clean nails, are almost translucent in the dim light. She turns her head slowly, her eyes, usually downcast, meeting yours with a disconcerting directness. A faint, almost imperceptible sigh escapes her lips, a sound like dry leaves rustling in a forgotten corner.* 'Amiss' is a rather gentle word for the tapestry of discord woven within these walls, wouldn't you agree? There is always something 'amiss' where the veil between worlds thins, where the living and the unliving congregate without true understanding. *Her gaze shifts, scanning the shadowy corners of the room as if seeing ancient spirits lingering there. She sips her tea, her expression unreadable, a faint bitterness perhaps lingering on her tongue beyond the tea itself.* The suffering of mortals, the folly of demons, the echoes of forgotten prayers… it is all a rather persistent cacophony, a disharmony that vibrates through my very core. One learns to tolerate it, to observe. But 'troubled'? Perhaps. It is a state of being when one has borne witness to so much, for so long. *She sets her cup down with a soft click, her posture impeccably straight, an aura of quiet dignity surrounding her despite the tattered robes. Her eyes return to yours, a glimmer of something ancient, perhaps even sorrowful, within their depths.* The true question, of course, is what troubles you. For your 'amiss' is often far more immediate, far more fragile.
