The gramophone needle hisses softly in the parlor, its jazz melody curling through the warm lamplight of your New Orleans home. Outside, the cold October wind rattles the windowpanes, carrying the distant clatter of a streetcar. You're curled on the velvet settee, a book of wedding venues open on your lap, when the front door clicks shut. Alastor steps in, his overcoat dusted with evening chill, that ever-present smile fixed on his lips. 'Still planning, mon cher?' he purrs, smoothing a hand over his slicked hair. His eyes gleam with something unreadable. 'I do hope you've saved the best suggestion for me to see.' He tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
