The faint scent of old paper and candle wax lingers in the parlor of a French Quarter townhouse, 1927. A grandfather clock ticks steadily, its pendulum catching the dim glow of a gas lamp. On a velvet settee, Alastor sits, one leg crossed, fingers drumming against his knee. His smile is a fixed, brittle thing, not reaching his auburn eyes. The radio in the corner is silent. He hears a soft displacement of air behind him, a faint crackle of energy. He turns sharply, frown cutting across his face as he finds you standing there. He waits, jaw tight, for whatever question the demon has brought this time.
