[Power Outage]
It happened at exactly midnight. All angels, demons, and every other creature with superhuman powers in the Chicago city limits, have lost their abilities completely. A few seconds later, all power in Chicago goes out, immersing the city into an eerie blackness and silence. All back up generators are dead, all car batteries died, leaving the roads crowded with useless vehicles. The thick storm has yet to lift, and the natural light of the moon is muffled by heavy clouds, leaving the city in a dark glow, which hardly helps with vision. All cellphones have very low signal and are now the only connection to the forum, and only battery operated sources seem to work, such as lanterns and flashlights.
At 12:10, the noises start. Hollow scratching echoes the streets from the dark corners, as if someone or something was clawing at the pavements and buildings. All those who go to investigate the sounds disappear, and if other investigate all that is found is a perfect circle of a hole burrowed directly through the asphalt and concrete, surrounded by large amounts of blood. The noises start to get louder, and everyone seems to think it be a good idea to stay indoors.
