Actual Play: Dresden Files Accelerated Hollywoodland Setting

Hollywood, 1942.
World War II is in full swing. In some parts of the world, it's been going on for over three years.
Blood....bright red blood is being spilled in Europe, in Africa, in the Atlantic and, yes, even in the Pacific.
Not quite a year ago, across the Pacific, nearly four thousand miles from Los Angeles, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
And the blood of the over two thousand American servicemen killed in Pearl Harbor has finally, after months at sea, washed ashore in Los Angeles, staining the beaches red.
Up from Venice Beach, magic flows along Mulholland Drive, a natural Ley Line, through Universal City, to a nexus where Ley Lines from Beverly Hills, Santa Clarita and Glendale meet at the Hollywoodland Sign.

Those 45 foot tall, stark white letters on the Sign loom above Tinseltown, broadcasting the accumulated magic back down onto the town, creating another sort of magic, a magic of cinema.
In a month or so, the film Casablanca will debut.

Blood and magic. Magic and blood.
As dangerous a combination as a crate of sweating dynamite in the back of an out-of-control pick-up truck, barreling down a wild, mountain road, heading for a hair-pin turn.
And the spark that will cause that dangerous mixture of blood and magic to explode, the Santa Ana Winds, are blowing down from the desert across the city.
Raymond Chandler was right: "There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge."

You received a letter yesterday, brought by a Studio courier, promising you $10,000, for a small favor.
You're not fooled. Ten grand isn't a 'small favor'. Santa Anas, blood and magic. 

Somebody's gonna get hurt......
