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...

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.

Welp.

I'm in Alaska now.

I have a lot more time to myself nowadays...

This Fridge guy, massive homophobe by the way, is askin' me to help this one girl with her legal case.

Not gonna lie, she gives me the creeps.

She killed like 5 kids. Rich kid bastards, of course, but still an uphill battle...

Huh.

Looking into the evidence, seems like there's still 2 that haven't been found. They were reported to have shown up at the party by what Hezalea's told me... but nothin' in the evidence lines up with that.

Granted, they probably snuck outta the house and just went missing...

Hm.

She told me she was working with another guy, a Bill. Wait... I met that guy.

He's dead.

Damn.

No body, though...

There's the whole issue with her blood and... what she is...

But, I mean. The case against her isn't... tooooo solid?

The murder weapon wasn't found... I mean, she did have a knife when she was found, but it didn't appear to be... used.

Circumstantial evidence? Maybe. But the fact that there was... no DNA traces, no blood, et cetera that were found on her knife...

Could frame this as an unfortunate kidnapping committed by a mentally unstable farmer that ended with the deaths of 3 defenceless kids. Hezalea said she was on a protection job, so maybe she ended up getting overpowered by this guy and was helpless. A potential avenue... I'll tell her about it later...

Anyways. I started sketching a lil.

Kinda hard to find subject matter... so I started with some basic shapes and perspective.

...what I saw kinda bleeds into it a bit.

It's all good, tore that shit up. Easy to dispose of that stuff.

Ugh, the whole thing is like. A month away? There's so much more shit to figure out.

Drawing's been gettin' better. Looking out the window... the snowscape is nice, I guess. Not a lot of variance... but it's kinda fun.

I've settled on the missing farmer argument probably. Body hasn't been found, 2 kids haven't either, yada yada.

Verglas keeps working me to death. Every week he comes in with yet another legal case that has impossible, supernatural factors regardin' em.

I just need to catch a break, man.

If I could just get more money, then I could make it up for those families and then maybe earn myself enough brownie points to...

I'm never going back, but... if I do, I wanna be ready.

Jesus, what are you talkin' about Kaneko?

You'll be fineee... just focus on what you do best.

You got this, man. You got this.
