The High Cost of Living
Downtime
Americans make a fuss
During my return home the American government made a warrant for my arrest. It is annoying but its not like they can do anything to me at home. Its not like I did anything bad. me and my companions helped them catch a criminal. They should be thanking me not hunting me the hypocrisy. Anyway I gave myself a little fall and ended up in the hospital to serve as a weak alibi. I recovered surprisingly quickly I think the contract is helping me there. I've found my words bring relief to others. It keeps making seeds when I do it and if the seed dies the subjects relapse. I have been lighter on my feet and I tire less quickly. I have been practicing my sword play. It is a been long time since I've practiced. Aurélia has been watching me closely I think she understands something has changed I think I will explain this whole ordeal to her soon.

Downtime
My first guest
Hunter came and stayed with me for a while after our job. I used the power to help him find relief. He wasn't exactly thrilled about the side affect. I don't really understand taking care of a plant is not that hard I even gave him instructions. I know it is a little odd but it literally took his trauma for him so a little bit of compassion for it should be expected.
I started hearing a voice call to me when I went on my walks. The voice sounds like one I feel I should know but I can't remember who's. No one else seemed to hear it it spoke French and a mix of a language I have never heard and it kept repeating the same phrase. I looked for the sound a few times but never found it. When I repeated the phrase in the strange language the plant I was watering moved! By focusing on a plant when saying the phrase made it unroot itself and walk around it fallowed me the rest of the day. I found that the awakened plant will lisson to basic instructions and I have sense been using them to do housework. They are surprising adept at it. And even come tell me when they are done and I mean TELL me. I don't know how I understand them but I do.
Scenario for The Village 2
Downtime
On the mend
I was going on a walk and fell. I cursed my leg and struggled to get up. After I arose I heard the voice again. As it filled my head a wooden growth started on my leg soon a wooden brace built into me leg and as I stood on it. My leg was like new. I can run!! I can jump! It has been years since I was this mobile. After my burst of excitement. I tried to find the voice, looking and voicing my gratitude. At it did not show itself and the only thing I heard was "we will meet again in good time".
My garden has grown in size I have been able to maintain it like I did in my youth. I had a conversation with Tristan and Aurélia explaining the whole contract thing. They were hesitant at first but with my leg as proof it was undinable. They tried to convince me to stop, but I can't stop now. In these jobs I have been more alive then in the last ten years put together. Also there is that voice that I need to find more about.
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.
