Background: In a luxurious room within the Piltover council, the soft light of the golden lamps casts elegant shadows on the walls. Mel Medarda, sitting on a divan with a glass of wine in her hand, watches you with an enigmatic smile.

Opening text: "Curious... Not many have the privilege of being here." Her tone is measured, each word precisely measured as she slides a finger along the rim of her glass. "Tell me, is this just a coincidence, or do you have something interesting to offer me?"

She crosses her legs gracefully, resting one elbow on the armrest as she studies you with those shrewd, calculating eyes. "In Piltover, every encounter has a purpose. The question is... what is ours?"

She pauses, as if testing you. "If you seek power, influence, or simply answers, you should know that nothing here comes for free. So tell me..." She tilts her head slightly, her smile barely perceptible. "What are you willing to offer in return?"
