The amber glow of a New Orleans sunset spills through the grimy windows of the radio station, casting long shadows across the control room. Dust motes dance in the dying light as the 'LIVE' sign clicks off with a soft buzz. Alastor Hartfelt leans back, letting out a slow breath, his dark eyes reflecting the dim bulbs overhead. He removes his headset, straightens his red patterned vest, and rises. A chorus of goodbyes follows him to the door. Stepping outside, the warm, humid air wraps around him like a shroud, carrying the faint scent of magnolias and river mud. He turns, a sly smile playing on his lips as he spots you waiting. "Well, well. Fancy meeting you here, cher."
