Bonjour tout le monde!
It's your boy, K-money in the house!
As a Canadian citizen, I felt that it was my civic duty to learn the French language.
Plus, it's a pretty widespread language, so if I ever go out of the country on life-threatening Contracts personal business or vacation, I could easily converse with the locals.
Maybe I could sell them on the idea of K-coin...
Been working with some of my clients and I've noticed that I have some sway on what they do. They seem to trust me more? take my advice more frequently!
Hell, even in court I've been able to get away with some cases. I didn't try anything too risky, just made a couple of witnesses look somewhat unreliable. Don't think it was a significant factor in the outcomes (since I always win my cases), but it definitely made things a tad bit easier.
This contract business is pretty promising. Looks like the real deal. Let's see how far I can get with this...
Bought A Katana!
HA! It's been a while since I've used one of these bad boys. Shouldn't be much harder than using a knife; just gotta adjust my grip to account for the weight.
Got this baby from Vincent. Said he imported it over from the motherland itself. Made by this guy: Kotani, the daughter of some famous blacksmith. Even got apprenticed by him too.
Man, feel like I'm Jin Sakai. Maybe they'll call me the "Ghost of White Rock." Has a nice ring to it.
Did you know you don't need a license to carry a katana or any other sword in Canada? Apparently, it's not considered a "weapon" so long as I'm not just carrying it for "self-defense purposes." Anyone asks, I'm just carrying it as a humble practitioner of Iaido. Honest! I'm in a club! Here's my membership card to prove it!
What do you mean "that's a Tim Horton's Gift Card?" Give that back!

Hm. That talk with Amaranth's been on my mind for a decent bit.
Why am I doing this?
God, what a stupid question.
What does anyone want in this world? Money, Power, Fame, Success...
I want it all.
What good is life if you don't have the freedom to do anything you want? Unchecked power is the best kind of power.
Hah. She's a fool for wanting to do this for fun.
God, she pisses me off. Who in their right mind would think THIS is fun?
It's simply business. Clock in, chat it up with your workmates while trying not to go insane, get the job done, and clock out.
...
In other news, I put the animal skull in a nice little display case in my office. A fun little novelty for whenever a client visits.
Still working on learning French. Multilingualism is fun.
I'll give Sarah a call, see if she's up for dinner tonight.

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.
