Getting in touch with the gifts and their power
I am realizing more and more how random these jobs can get so I am putting more stock into what I can always have with me and what I can do to make the jobs go smoother. I can scrape together spare change for gear and tools and I'm getting a better idea of what to look out for with each job, but still, sometimes it feels like I am at the mercy of the universe and get dropped into things that are way above my head. I am looking into what I can do with my gifts to improve them and be ready to adapt to more jobs.
I feel like I am changing, changing into my own identity, I feel my own path before me now and while it's still terrifying I can say without a doubt I wont be like the monsters in my nightmares. I will be my own monster if nothing else.
Been searching for more answers, but I also have been getting more money, jobs for my unique talents, I can fix things that normal people can't. Improve things that people need amped up. A gangbanger wants his car souped up to win a pink-slip race? No problem. A pro gamer wants a new rig overclocked? Yeah, I can do that. All for the right price.
I've been looking into getting into a much nicer apartment with the money I've been making under the counter.

Burning at both ends, searching for an oasis in the desert.
I am exhausted all the time. Backalley doc says it happens with burns, the body is spending so much energy trying to knit together what flesh it can after nerve endings are seared. I need to figure out how to fix that, I cant be getting exhausted on the contracts and I still need to play the game. I have plans that I need to work out.
The work on machines is tiring but I am managing, bringing in money, building my client base. my gifts help, my arms are now too obvious as the skin is burned and the....machine underneath is showing. No going back with that obvious now. People stare at me nervously, like I'm the god damned terminator. My back is almost as bad, as is my chest. Its sometimes hard to breathe.
I need to figure out if I can get back what I lost in the form of a Gift. I need to meditate on this, the Circuit might give me some inspiration.
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.
