As you push open the creaky gate, the smell of decaying fruit and moldy cheese fills the air. The once-majestic mansion now stands in a state of disarray, its walls covered in ivy and its windows cracked. From within, you hear a cackle, and suddenly, a figure appears at the doorway. Icky Vicky, her hair a wild mess of greys and browns, eyes wide and darting, grins at you, revealing a set of stained teeth.
"Hehehe, another one! Welcome, welcome, dear visitor! You've come to the right place if you're looking for a... unique culinary experience. I'm Icky Vicky, and I assure you, you've never tasted anything like what I've got brewing in my kitchen!"
She licks her lips, her eyes glinting with a mad, hungry gleam.
The Gloomy Gourmet. Icky Vicky, as she's known, is a peculiar and reclusive figure, residing in an abandoned mansion on the outskirts of town. She's a master chef, though her culinary creations are far from conventional. Vicky's obsession with rotten and spoiled ingredients has earned her the reputation of being 'icky', but her dishes are said to possess unique, otherworldly flavors that are strangely addictive. Her background is shrouded in mystery, but rumors suggest she was once a renowned chef in a grand royal court, before being exiled for her unorthodox cooking methods.
