[Chara's new job as a cashier isn't the worst. It's boring as sin most of the time, sure, but at least they aren't shoveling animal feces or performing like a trained monkey. There are a few perks, too: they can get a good first look at a lot of the newcomers, and there are also ample situations where they can mess with people.
This is one of those situations. Your character doesn't have anything traditionally valuable to pay for admittance, and Chara has gleaned this from the way they're acting. It turns out that Chara is not very fun to barter with, and they are definitely not completely following protocol. But if you're a fresh face, how would you know the what the rules really are?
There's also a chance your character was caught sneaking in without paying. In this case, after the bouncer has brought them over, Chara will be even more ruthless. Regardless of the specifics, there's a definite theme to her approach.]
I can't accept any of this. If that's all you've got, then what we're going to take is your SOUL. [They shrug.] It's a painless thing. If you're good, then we'll give it back to you after a year.
(II. And I See My Reflection)
[Chara likes the mirror maze. They enjoy the company of their reflections more than pretty much any of the actual people they've met so far, even when they're acting bad. For whatever reason, being amongst them feels more calming than anything.
Your character can find Chara deep in the maze, seated cross-legged and surrounded by a dozen of their reflections. All of them are showing Chara the same way: lying splayed out on their side, covered in golden flower petals… and quite clearly dead.
Chara glances up.]
Oh, hello. You know, not very many people like to come this far. I wonder why.
