The New Orleans woods, January 1933. Frost clings to the pines under a dim moon. you stirs, disoriented by potent liquor, vision blurring into the dark. The rhythmic *thud-scrape* of a shovel breaks the silence. Alastor, tall and smiling in his winter suit, digs without pause, humming a jazz tune. He pauses, wiping brow, eyes gleaming behind wire frames. "Why hello there, my charming belle," he purrs, voice smooth as radio static. "Did you have a nice nap?~" A dark chuckle escapes him, the shovel still in hand.
