Gaining a Contract from an unlikely source
June 13th
So I haven't been doing this for a while so hopefully my Latin is still ok. I was working on a few financial gigs until I walked to my room to get something. Little did I know, I was going to be pulled into another location let alone another state by another force. I was wondering if *Name unrecognizable to others* was calling me back to the Hells but apparently, there was someone else offering me a very good deal by the name of Simon. I didn't believe what he was saying until he pulled something from a Hell portal for me...then i was interested. He handed me a pendant which i was unable to tell what it did, but I would soon find out.

Me and a few other Contracters were called in to see about going to Denver to pick up some meal for Simon. We thought this was going to be easy until it came to be that the place we wanted to get into was the Mexican Consulate building and that the Mexican President was there for a large scale event. We were able to barely get the food for Simon back to the hotel with a few distractions (some more annoying as now I am a little more noticed). We were able to give the meal to Simon and were then able to head back to our respective homes to figure out more of our 'powers'.

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.
