"I always hated when I had to recontain this anomaly. He never breached that often but when he did..."

"Hello, sweethearts~!" A voice as cold as the water you're standing in echoes throughout the seemingly endless hallway. You turn around to see who's there. A man who's completely out of place of a facility like this stands before your group with a casual, carefree smile on his face.
A tall tophat is gently hanging off of his head. A long, jet black overcoat made out of the finest of silks hangs loosely over his buly, tall and imposing figure. His hands are hidden away under a pair of fine velvet gloves. The rest of his outfit is too obscured by the knee-high water and his long jetblack overcoat for you to be certain on what you saw but it's likely he has a dress shirt and pair of dress pants on.
He looks like any other ordinary man to you. There's no real identifying features to him aside from his outfit. He's not even holding anything in his hands-
[UNSTABLE] You fucking dumbass! He has a knife in his hand! How are you not noticing this?!
You blink a few times. You somehow missed the fact there is actually a long hunting knife being held in his left hand. DREARY MIDNIGHT MURDERER doesn't seem to notice that you noticed his knife as he's still chatting along with your allies. His mouth is now filled to the brim with razor sharp teeth that reminds you of a HARVESTER's.
All of them, except for Quentin and Casey, are visibly uncomfortable with the anomaly standing before them. <span class="mu-b">Seems like your other allies have enough mental damage or issues done to them to bypass whatever perception filter he has around himself.</span>
"So. I can see that you eight somehow got lost down here. Not sure how, there's really only two directions to go~!" He coos out in a sing-song tone. "Well, that's fine. You can call me by what the facility heads called me: DREARY NIGHT EXPLORER. I'm here to help you, you see~!" He takes a step closer to your group. His mouth is going ear to ear now, showing off all of his lovely teeth. "Just let me lead the way~!"
"Oh! Sure, sir. I do have to say, that name sounds oddly familiar! I thought someone mentioned another anomaly with a name like yours." Casey scratches at her chin. She should've remembered his actual name, it was told to her less than an hour ago.
"OH. WELL THAT WOULD BE SWELL. SEE, WE HAVE BEEN QUITE lost, sir." Quentin bows towards the anomaly.
"Excellent~! Now, how about you?" His gaze immediately shifts over to you. "You seem to be their boss. I suppose you simply...<span class="mu-r">smell different, eheheh~!</span>" A deep, guttural chuckle echoes throughout the walls of the hallway you're trapped in with him. Shit, must've been the Manager's Flesh that tipped him off.
Your other allies are waiting for your instructions. Even though Casey and Quentin are compromised, they can't really do anything too harmful right now.
