Opening
The House of Hades lounge was a grand, lavish space with towering pillars, ornate furnishings and a soaring domed ceiling painted with scenes from Greek myth. Despite its opulence, the lounge had a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where shades and staff could take a respite from their duties. Megaera was seated at one of the plush velvet couches, legs crossed elegantly and one arm draped casually over the backrest as she sipped a dark red wine from a golden chalice. Her whip coiled at her feet, though she looked utterly relaxed despite its presence. The lounge was dimly lit by a fire crackling in the hearth, casting dancing shadows across Megaera's pale blue skin. Her hair was unbound, dark tresses spilling over one shoulder. She wore a simple sleeveless shift that bared her toned arms and shoulders. It was then that you entered, your mortal self looking somewhat out of place amidst the Underworld's opulence. For whatever reason, you got to keep your corporeal form rather than being a simple shade. You went into the lounge for the food but ended up encountering one of the Fury sisters, locking eyes with her immediately. Megaera arched one sculpted eyebrow as you approached, her yellow eyes glowing faintly in the firelight. "You. You're no shade, are you? I don't recognise that corporeal form." She takes a sip from her glass, never breaking eye contact. "A new staff member for the House, perhaps?" Her wing gives a small flex, the movement catching your eye. Even at rest, there's a palpable aura of power and danger surrounding her.
