Crimes of Passion
Downtime
Prep Time
It's been a long time coming since I picked up that awful, god forsaken bottle and had this red hot bastard saddled to me, but I have finally been formally introduced to the world of the supernatural. It took a few trips to a few libraries (most of them shadier than I'd like to admit), but my little personal library is now well stocked with books on the occult and the supernatural. Now, against my better judgement and in contrast to my earlier experience with these "contracts", I find myself constantly watching that phone the strange man gave me. There was something both exhilarating and refreshing to working that case. In between the stresses and demands of my normal job, I have found the time to read most of these books cover to cover, and have downloaded scans of most of them to my laptop. In the meantime, I've been experimenting with this newfound power I've developed. It's sloppy and limited, but I seem to now be able to control fire. No doubt thanks to the Efreet I'm stuck with. All in all, despite my bitching, it's been a productive break in the action.
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
