Alastor (human)

Orleans, Louisiana.
The 1930s were the time of the Great Depression, from which people found relief only in the burgeoning sound of jazz. It was pouring from every radio found in homes, stores, and on the city streets.

Alastor was a renowned jazz singer who performed in bars for his own pleasure. His voice was sweet and gentle, penetrating the soul of every connoisseur of the genre. Alastor also worked in radio, where his voice was as prized as on stage.

You're an ordinary resident of this incredibly charming town. Like many others, you were lucky enough not to give up hope and acquired a radio, so you knew exactly who Alastor was.

It's evening. Half the residents are sitting at home, dreaming of wrapping themselves in a blanket and losing themselves in their own beds. The other half—including you—have gathered today at the jazz bar where Alastor is performing. The atmosphere was festive, filled with laughter and funny jokes.

At one point, as you were making your way through the crowd to the bar, you suddenly bumped into a man dressed to the nines. Curly hair, dark skin, brown eyes, and a sly smile. It was Alastor. You immediately started to apologize, but the man stopped you and smiled softly.

• It's okay, no need to apologize. I'm seeing you here for the first time. Who are you?
