During a slow day, one of our characters walks into an innocuous shop. They must have passed it a thousand times before, but today there is actually time to peruse it, and the signs on the door-"Wizard in residence", "Spells Cast by Appointment Only"- always seemed to point to a sarcastic and interesting owner. It seems like a nice way to kill a few minutes, so they go in.

Turns out? Not so innocuous. And a few minutes with the owner leaves the character shaky and lost. How did this stranger know about their darkest secret, and what did they mean, 'marked for greater things?'....

So Basically, looking at a role play where some one goes into a stand alone magic shop, just for fun. Turns out the owner is a bone fide wizard, and can sense that the person has some kid of power attached to them. It concurs with the weird things the customer as experienced their whole life, and they are suddenly faced with a choice: walk away and try to pretend that everything is okay, or go back and learn who they really are...

The serial killer is the talk of the whole city. He sneaks into secure homes and businesses, somehow overpowers his victims, then rapes and murders them in a grotesque fashion. The police are struggling to find a connection--until a man comes to then with information on the killer, and the fear that they will be next....

Basically, there is a black magic wizard who is raping and killing people to try and perform some big summons. The wizard-y community refuses to involve human authorities in the case, but when something strikes close to home a man decides that enough is enough. They make an 'anonymous' tip to the police, but after only a few hours there is a detective at their door demanding answers, and both suddenly find themselves stuck with unwilling partners.

When financial circumstances force a model student to move from his home in the suburbs to an apartment in the city, he isn't sure how to cope. It's frightening and isolated, and all his friends don't know how to treat him now. And to make things worse, he thinks one of the guys downstairs is either stalking him or trying to flirt.

Even worse? He sort of wants to flirt back

When a man who was given up for adoption in the US at his birth gets a letter years later informing him that he is inheriting both a massive Scottish estate and the title with it, he has no idea what to do. His adoptive parents urge him to at least look at it, pointing out that it might help with the closure he never got when his birth parents refused contact with him. For an underemployed recent college graduate, the idea of spending the rest of his life in a castle isn't really all that bad.

Until he meets the steward of the estate, the man in charge of running it while he was gone. A man his own age, who resents a stranger coming in and ruining everything. When the two clash about every decision, is there no way the can be friends?

The really tall apartment buildings, the ones with very expensive pent house suites, often hire window washers to work overnight, so as not to ruin their tenant's view. One particular tenant is...a bit of a night owl. They begin to see the window washer every night, and a friendly relationship of scrawled notes and hand gestures provides more companionship then the vampire has had in years. But when an enemy of their past returns, and the window washer witnesses the attack, the vampire's enemies will go after him for sure. Which leaves the vampire with a moral dilemma: tell their friend the truth, and possibly risk the presence of actual living human blood too tempting to resist, or live the the knowledge that their friend would have died because of them.
