Test scene
There'd been strange happenings at the University of Chicago. Students coming to class everyday looking death themselves, with sunken in eyes and vacant expressions. At first Jessica paid no attention, thinking that it was just the pressure of exams...and then she couldn't ignore it. As more and more students came in with the same look, the more she could sense it. They stank of magic. It was so heavy on them, she could almost smell it the second that they entered the room.

Tonight, she was determined to figure out where it was all coming from. The students were getting worse, and today in one of her classes, a girl went into a trance and started babbling...in Latin.

Unfortunately, Jessica wasn't much of a detective...which made this a little bit harder, as she had no possible leads that she could work off.

So there she was, in the college's infirmary, digging around in the medical records, looking for any possible clues. Anything that could give her a lead. She could sense the magical energy flowing through the place, as the students that had been "infected" had been in and out all week...but she couldn't just run around looking for whoever might be doing this.

The door creaked open, and Jessica whipped her head around. As she'd broken in after-hours...getting caught was NOT what she wanted right now. The file that she was reading dropping to the ground with a light thud, and she scrambled to pick up the papers.

"Well, I'm good at finding things that don't want to be found, especially demons. My name is Matt Walker." he says. He doesn't bother telling her more, though, the way news spreads around the supernatural community, she's likely to find out if she wants to know.

"I could use your help to stop this thing, if you're willing, Jessica. Of course, I also understand if you want to tell me to fuck off." he says.

	Jessica pondered over it for a second. She could use the extra help...as she REALLY wants to find this thing and stop it. "I'll help you," she said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you." he says. "Why don't we find the place you can feel it's influence the strongest and start there? Once we find it, I don't want you to try coming in with me. We don't know how dangerous these people are." Matt says. And he's not sure he can protect both of them while fighting this thing off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, I hear a lot of people say that. Except for one or two, a lot of those people are dead now. And no offense, but I'd rather not have your old man or your grandfather on my ass.

Things would get messy." Matt says, understating the situation.

"But...if we're going to do this, then let's get an understanding. I'm going to do the heavy lifting. If you see or feel anything out of place, let me know, no matter how small you think it is." Matt tells her.

"I'm ready to go when you are."

"My father is really the only one you'd need to worry about, as Dad's kept me as far away from Grandfather as he possibly could. But you don't have to worry about having Dad on your ass- I'm not lying when I say I am perfectly capable of holding my own. I know what we're getting into. Family experiences and everything."

Jessica nodded. "You can be sure that I will."

Yup. Dinner for the cats was going to be a little late this evening.

"I'm ready."

	"All right. I've rigged up a little charm that's allowed me to track her this far, in connection with the tips I've got, but if you can get us any closer, we're in business. I'll follow you for the moment." Matt says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think I have a pretty good idea where she is," Jessica said, "She's let off enough magic for me to get a lock on her. Bad for her, lucky for us." She made her way to the door. "Let's go." (Reply to this)(Parent)
