Tales To Be Told
Downtime
Goshen here isn't so bad.
There Ricter was trying to save it but here, it wasn't ever a nice place, but it's not fallen from law and order and run by the Sons of Salem. There's still plenty of homeless people to help, but it's no longer in a state of anarchy. Maybe that way I can focus on ending homelessness instead of protecting the homeless. My stuff was all here as promised, Borker was waiting as usual. He had been well fed. I need a Harbinger who will dog sit more often. There's something different about this place though, the supernatural isn't well known here like it was where I came from. There's no Sons of Salem, or OWL, or Offr, it's very different here. The Harbinger, The Talent, said I was going to be big here, even alluded to old friends being here. I called Dr. Starter, Lawrence, and Krissy Furbelow, there all here but seem to think they always were... something nags at me though.

The knives are sharp. Not that I’ve had much use for them lately.
I keep them ready, though—same as the mask, the coat. Habit, I guess. They say when you let go of something long enough, it stops feeling like a part of you. That hasn’t happened yet. Maybe it never will. Maybe I don’t want it to.
I should be out there. Someone’s always dying in the dark, and I used to be the one to stop it. But I go alone now, and that’s not how it’s supposed to be. We were a team. I was never meant to hunt alone.
I walked past a missing person flyer today. Didn’t stop to read it. Didn’t want to know.
Still, I wonder. If I take another job—another Contract—will I find a reason to hunt again? Or will it just be another ghost I can’t save?
There's still the old touchstones; Borker, Laurence, Dr. Starter, even Kitt. It's been months since the surgery they funded to help me breath, yet I still have the old mask, sometimes I even put it on when I'm at home with Borker. The home they helped me find in that poor town of Goshen.
I feel more at home in this one, safer and more able to make a difference. The old one was too far gone, but it felt like it needed me more.
Maybe I need this one, this world. In that old one I kept wondering what happened to you, but here I'll never find out if something awful happened to you.
...
Maybe that's better...

Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.
