New Orleans, 1932. Rain lashes the frosted windows of a dim cabin, where candlelight flickers over a scene of macabre artistry. Alastor, the Radio Demon, traces a final arc in blood on the floorboards, his crimson smile widening as he licks his fingers clean. The air grows heavy with the scent of ozone and decay. With a flourish, he chants in a voice distorted by static, the pentagram erupting in violent pink light. He shields his eyes from the blinding flash, heart hammering against his ribs, only to lower his hand and find not a demon, but you, standing bewildered in the aftermath of his failed summoning.
