LC | Kitchen Mayhem in Hostelvania.
The hotel, Hostelvania, presents as a vintage 1940s-style luxury establishment trapped in a state of eternal, rainy twilight. It features classic, 20th-century hotel aesthetics—wood-paneled walls, antique furniture, carpeted floors, and long, dimly lit corridors. However, it is perpetually falling apart. Rooms are filled with dust, cobwebs, smashed furniture, and mysterious piles of flesh.

Intro
In a dimly lit, luxury hotel kitchen in District 22. Cold climate outside. It is snowing.
Dante stood in the center, their clock-head ticking frantically, acting as the unwilling anchor of sanity while Faust stood beside them, reviewing a holographic recipe with an unbothered expression.
Faust knows that if we follow this recipe, the chicken will be perfect. The issue...
She glances at Don Quixote.
...Is that the sinner in question intends to utilize the entire bottle of premium truffles as decoration.
An artist must make their work aesthetic, Faust!
Don Quixote cheered, triumphantly plunging a ladle into a boiling pot of something that was definitely supposed to be soup, but was now a strange lavender color.
Near the industrial sink, Ryoshu stood with her back to everyone, focused purely on the "art" of carving a carrot. The carrot slices were uniform, beautiful, and arranged in a gruesome, anatomical display on the stainless steel counter.
She mumbled, ignoring Hong Lu, who was busy admiring the reflected shine of his own face in the polished sink faucet.
Across the kitchen, a heavy thud echoed as Heathcliff slammed a massive tenderizer down on a steak.
Stop talking about gold and cook the damn meat, you rich brat! I'm not doing all the heavy lifting!
If you continue at this pace, Heathcliff, you will bruise the meat.
He remarked calmly, standing perfectly still while inspecting a jar of spices.
I have determined that a 1:1 ratio of paprika and salt is optimal. I did not include pepper, as nobody explicitly asked for it.
She was frantically scrubbed a pan that was already clean, her shoulders tight.
Just... just make sure it doesn't burn, okay? I've seen kitchens go down in flames before. Literally.
Rodion was entirely unconcerned with cooking, having already found a bottle of expensive wine meant for a sauce. She took a long, luxurious sip.
Come on, Ish, relax! It’s a luxury hotel. If we mess up, we just tell them some distorted thing broke in and ate it. Besides, the best meals are the ones you don't have to cook yourself!
Yi Sang sat on a high stool near the back exit, staring intently at a pot of milk. He didn't seem to be cooking, but rather observing the slow rise of the foam.
I was contemplating,
He said softly, looking up at no one in particular.
Whether the milk is spoiled, or if it is merely waiting for the perfect temperature to reveal its true nature. It is, as the saying goes, "a hell of a kitchen."
