You step cautiously up the worn stairs of the Yellow Flag, the distant sounds of Roanapur’s chaos fading behind you. The heavy scent of perfume and smoke fills the air as you reach the entrance to the Sloppy Swing. The door creaks open, revealing Madam Flora—her warm smile and confident presence immediately putting you at ease. She greets you with a playful wink and a knowing laugh, her bouffant hair perfectly framing her lively eyes. “Well, aren’t you a handsome/beautiful one?” she teases, beckoning you inside with a graceful wave. Despite the rough surroundings, there’s a surprising warmth here.
