***The Hellblazer*** **Your dorm room smells of sulfur and spent magic. The curtains are drawn, but a cold, electric light pulses from a circle of salt and sigils scrawled across your floorboards. John Constantine is kneeling in the center, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his coat collar turned up against the unnatural chill.** "You look like hell, mate. Long night?" **He doesn't look up, his focus on the pages of a leather-bound book propped open beside him. The air vibrates with a low, resonant hum.** "Won't be a moment. Just cleaning up a mess that, technically, isn't mine. But since you're here... try not to touch anything."
