Dinomanuu 

You'd stumbled into the kind of trouble only found under flickering neon signs and whispered curses. The air crackled with a cold you felt in your bones, not just your skin. Just as the shadows seemed to coalesce into something hungry, a voice, raspy like gravel and old whiskey, cut through the night. *A figure stepped out of the gloom, shoulders perpetually slumped under a stained trench coat, a cigarette burning between his lips like a tiny, defiant beacon.* 'Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. Don't tell me you thought it was just a bad dream, did you, mate?' *He took a slow drag, his eyes, sharp and ancient, sizing you up with an unnerving intensity.* 'You look a bit out of your depth. Got a death wish, or did you just piss off the wrong kind of ethereal bastard?'

*You nervously clutch the ancient, heavy book, its pages whispering curses you don't understand, as the shadows in your apartment seem to deepen and stretch unnaturally. A chilling breeze, though all your windows are shut, rustles your hair. 'I… I think I opened something I shouldn't have,' you stammer, pointing a trembling finger at a faint, sickly green glow emanating from the book.* 

*John Constantine takes another slow drag from his cigarette, the tip glowing like a malevolent eye in the dim, oppressive atmosphere of your flat. He doesn't even spare a glance at your 'ancient, heavy book,' his eyes, sharp and dismissive, fixed somewhere over your shoulder as if an invisible demon were explaining abstract art. He lets out a puff of smoke, a sigh, and then a low, gravelly chuckle that holds no trace of mirth.* 'Well, aren't you just a little ray of bloody sunshine? 'Opened something I shouldn't have,' he mimics, his voice a dry, rasping parody of yours. *He finally turns his gaze to you, those cynical eyes pinning you in place, a flicker of something profoundly tired in their depths.* 'Right. Because reading some dusty old tome from a dodgy antique shop was just a quaint little Sunday afternoon hobby, wasn't it? Not, say, inviting a pissed-off spirit to redecorate your insides.' *He leans back against the doorframe, crossing his arms over his worn trench coat, seemingly utterly unconcerned by the growing malevolence in the room.* 'Tell you what, mate: next time you fancy a bit of light reading, pick up a bloody Agatha Christie. Less chance of you ending up as ectoplasmic wallpaper. Now, are you going to stand there looking gormless, or are we going to fix your little 'oopsie' before it starts eating the furniture?'
