That job wasn't too stressful, but the rest of my team had a much more physical experience. They were wrestling, dodging, and trying to shove people around. If I don't have a squad of beefy boys with me next time, I may need to do some of that. I'm at least going to start going on runs again. I should probably join a karate class or something, but I really don't want to hurt people. I just don't want to get hurt myself. Ohh! Maybe there's a dodgeball league or something I can join that'll let me practice looking out for "attacks" and dodging them. That'll be a great way to train for these missions without having to hurt anyone. It'll also be a blast, and I can meet all the people that play dodgeball in the area. I bet Joe will join me too; he could use the exercise and social outings too.

These scars are tough. I don't generally take a particularly beautiful form because I don't want to draw too much attention to myself, but the stares I'm getting from these scars is real uncomfortable. Luckily most of stream was pretty chill about it. I just put a generic post in the stream description saying I'd gotten a serious burn recently, it's still recovering, and I'd rather not talk about it now. Otherwise I won a dodgeball tournament, and made some new friends. While this scar sucks, I guess it is helping me learn to improve my social skills, since navigating around the issue while not lying can be a challenge at times. I wonder if there's anyone with healing powers out there to help fix this. I should probably start looking around to see if I can find a healer. I've tried covering it up by just shapeshifting to a different form, and of course that didn't work either.

After that last mission, I've decided I need to start wearing armor to these jobs. I spent awhile online looking for some lightweight kevlar reinforced body suit. I finally found one that seemed protective enough, while still being flexible enough to accommodate any form I want to take. Once I took care of that, I spent a few days translating this weird book. Turns out it's some occult ritual to summon a demon and achieve immortality, maybe. I think my translation may be a bit off, because the last step of the ritual is to die and ask the demon to imprison yourself. Based on where I got it, there's some truth to the immortality available, but I'm not sure if a person became an immortal car or if there was just an immortal demon possessing a car. I'm not sure what to do with this book; it seems dangerous to get rid of it somehow, but I also have no interest in using this ritual. I'll probably try to find someone to work on a better translation. It could also be interesting to speak with a demon.

I've kinda lost focus on streaming in the middle of all of these contracts, so I think I'll try to just spend more time improving the quality of my streams. Really focus on interacting with chat and playing up my reactions and experience to try to cater to what the viewers want. It's taking some extra effort recently still with these scars, so there's been a bit of a dip in viewers and new subs. I should try to find someone that can heal these scars for me; that would help loads.

(Unrelated, but I finally realized that creepy book could potentially also be used as a guide to contact an angel too. That seems like a much safer alternative to attempt first. I'll make an edited copy of the book that leaves out most of the evil ritual and human sacrifice, then I can try to find someone that might know more about all this stuff.)
