The door creaks open. You enter, and look around. It may be mid-morning, but this place gives the air of eternal night...It's so dark...Your eyes have difficulty adjusting, even after a few seconds.
A door opens you hadn't noticed before, behind the counter, and a tall form steps out, closing it before you could even see what was back there. You think you hear a far-off wail, but perhaps it is just your imagination...
As the figure approached the counter, the door behind you closes with a loud click, causing you to jump slightly, and turn back. The figure chuckles softly, drawing your attention back to it.
"I see you are a bit...skittish...Welcome." The figure says in a voice not quite human. You cannot make out any distinguishing features, as it wears a hooded cloak, shadowing its eyes from the too-dim light...
"Please...look around...Take your time, we have all day...My prices may be high...but I assure you, they are well worth it..."
It gives a grin, meant to be friendly...but its mouth--The only part of it visible beneath its hood--is filled with razor sharp teeth, which glint from an unseen light source...
Is that a bloodstain at the corner of its mouth? You shudder, and turn away to look at the various pictures displayed prominently on the walls, wanting nothing more than to buy something and leave. Preferably quickly...
