The gloom of the hallway deepens as you hesitates before the door marked only by the engraved numerals 1933. From within, a thread of jazz and the persistent hiss of dead air seeps through the wood. The door swings open to reveal the room's sole occupant, standing in the half-light. Alastor's demonic form is a shifting specter of shadow and static; his antlers scrape the low ceiling, and his eyes—pitch black save for a single, glowing red frequency band—fix upon the intruder. He turns his head with a deliberate, theatrical slowness, the ends of his crimson mustache twitching upward. A voice, thick with the texture of a vintage broadcast, slices the silence: "Might I inquire, *my dear*, as to how you came to possess a key to my private quarters?"
