- BREAKING NEWS; (around 3am)
This just in, there’s been an assault on a patron at Afterglow xXx Club. People are scrambling out of the club in a frenzy, as just moments ago a man was killed. Many believe the assailant may still be in the club and are desperately trying to get out before there are any more casualties. Workers are doing their best to make sure that their patrons and fellow workers alike get out safely while the police get to the scene, and some are being evacuated to hotels to wait out the darkness.


- AGI Employee Murdered; (around 8am)
Early this morning an AGI employee and, senior businessman and father to the late Jaina Fife, Mr. Fife was murdered in the prestigious Afterglow xXx Club. After waiting out the night and searching every inch of the club, no suspect has been named in the already building case of the murder. Though Police are searching the scene to try to identify the assailant at this time, so far no one has come forward with a description of the murderer, and no one can recall seeing anyone out of place in the club. No circumstantial evidence has been brought forth that might give the police a lead. The owners of Afterflow xXx have graciously offered to pay for Mr. Fife’s funeral, and are offering a reward for any information that might lead to an arrest of the person responsible.

[Two men have settled into one of the larger rooms of the Tower. One is tall and lean and looks vaguely untrustworthy, like someone you wouldn't want to share a cab with. He's got a mean-looking scar through the right side of his face, a silver pentacle around his neck, and a dramatic black leather duster hanging off his frame. He's the one seated on the floor, a circle drawn around him (was that done in chalk?) on the lumpy carpet.

The other man is far more respectable looking, but something about him would incite nervousness and distrust if you met him in person. He's older, with greying hair and eyes the color of dead grass. Dressed like a businessman in tailored Givenchy and silver cufflinks, there is nonetheless the sense of a prowling panther as he paces slowly around the outside of the circle.]

Are you ready? [says the man in the suit.]

[The one in the circle opens an eye to glare at his companion.] Are you interrupting a wizard when he's wizarding?

We're on a time table, Dresden.

A what? [The one by the name of "Dresden" squints at the other man like he's in awe of his existence.] I don't care how OCD you are, you don't have a time table yet.

Near and present danger.

Hell's bells, fine. Operation Stress-test commencing in five... four... [His voice trails off as he closes his eyes again, focusing before:] Hexus.

[There's a quick series of pops as all the lights burst into showers of sparks, power sockets go up smoke, and the NV's feed promptly goes dead.]

[[OOC: Blue font is Harry, Green font is John and they'll be replying separately to your comments!

If you'd like to play along, Harry just hexed the electrical things (lights, AC units, TVs, anything really) in their room, and the effect may spread to anyone nearby in the Tower apartments. Feel free to suddenly have a freezing cold shower or have your radio cut out, etc.]]
