Perks of the Job
Well, turns out these gifts are something special indeed. The past few weeks have been incredible, though I've noticed some downsides.
I can encourage people to love me, but the affects seem to wear off after an hour or so. It's nice, being able to get a free meal from a pretty server, or to get some rich guy to buy drinks for the entire bar, but using it too much gives me headaches. And, well-- let's not talk about the time I got someone to take me home for the night and got thrown out half naked.
Selling off those game systems we snagged on that last contract gave me enough that I was able to put a deposit on a small apartment and pay a couple months ahead. Still, knowing all this is possible- I want more.
I haven't gotten in contact with my parents yet. I was able to get some information on them, but it might be some time before I'm close enough for them to love me. That, and- well, I want their love to be genuine. This power is useful, and it'll help me get what I need, but I'm going to have to be creative to get what I want.
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
