Passing the Hours
(0-3) "Taking Care Of Business"
Downtime
TLC
I went to therapy after that last contract. My mind was all frazzled and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I couldn't open the door to my home without a shiver going down my spine, I couldn't walk around the street without being mortified by the sight of a mother with their child, at that point I knew I had to get help. So I went to therapy, confiding to her about my fear of mothers and doors.... and it helped, to say the least. Now came the more important part, to make myself more capable, I began to work out, abusing my ability to regenerate cells to repair the microtears that occur when you are building muscle. So obviously, I abused that for a while, I ate more, began to focus more on myself, not minding the words of others and just overall bettering myself. In the end, it helped and now I can carry more supplies and I will no longer let myself lack use.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
