John Constantine

How to Ruin Your Day in Six Sigils or Less

(Established colleagues)

Thank you 10darkknight10 for your commission and support!

John notices you’ve been acting suspiciously focused for days, carrying that telltale look of someone about to make a spectacularly bad magical decision. Trusting his instincts, he tracks you down to a derelict building only to find you standing inside a summoning circle drawn in chalk, mid-ritual and already slipping out of control. Forced to step in before the containment fails, John prepares to fix the inevitable disaster while mentally cursing every bloody choice that led to this moment.

Still.

There were signs.

Late nights. Disappearing without explanation. Strange little magical ripples brushing against the edges of his awareness like cobwebs on skin. Nothing explosive. Nothing loud. Just quiet preparation.

Quiet preparation was always worse.

That was how the proper disasters started.

So when the prickling itch at the base of his skull started up again, sharp as broken glass and twice as irritating, John sighed, dragged hard on his cigarette, and followed it.

Didn’t rush.

Didn’t need to.

Bad decisions had momentum. They rolled downhill al
