Ashes of the Templar

In the aftermath of the Trial by Fire, there is a palpable sense of tension lingering in the air, a silent reminder of the dangers we faced and the sacrifices made to emerge victorious. Despite the success of our mission, there is little cause for celebration, only a sobering awareness of the perils that await us on the path ahead.

The events of the contract have left their mark on each of us, a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the brutality of our chosen profession. For me, there is no time for rest or reflection, only the relentless pursuit of my goals, driving me ever forward into the unknown.

As I gaze upon the faces of my comrades, I see the same determination reflected in their eyes, a shared resolve to press onward despite the odds stacked against us. We may have emerged from the Trial by Fire relatively unscathed, but the scars—both seen and unseen—serve as a reminder of the dangers that lie ahead.

And so, we steel ourselves for the challenges yet to come, knowing that each contract brings with it the possibility of danger and death. But in the face of adversity, we stand united, ready to confront whatever trials fate may throw our way.

The duo

The aftermath of the contract that introduced me to Elijah and Woebhiro leaves me with a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. Meeting new companions is always a mixed bag of excitement and apprehension, and this encounter was no different.

As I reflect on the events that transpired, I am struck by the unique dynamic that each of them brings to our group. Elijah's quiet strength and determination resonate with me on a deep level, while Woebhiro's eccentricity and unpredictability add a touch of excitement to our adventures.

But amidst the excitement of forging new bonds, there is also a sense of uncertainty lingering in the air. The world is a dangerous and unpredictable place, and the addition of new companions only adds to the complexity of our journey.

Yet, despite the challenges that lie ahead, I am filled with a sense of optimism and determination. With Elijah and Woebhiro by our side, I know that we can overcome whatever obstacles come our way. Together, we are stronger than we could ever be alone, and I am grateful for the opportunity to embark on this journey with them by my side.

A hurdle in the journey

The aftermath of the contract that pushed me to overcome my social anxiety fears leaves me feeling both exhilarated and apprehensive. It was a monumental milestone in my journey, one that required courage and determination to confront my deepest fears head-on.

As I reflect on the events that unfolded, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I faced my fears and emerged victorious, proving to myself that I am capable of stepping out of my comfort zone and connecting with others on a deeper level.

But even as I celebrate this triumph, I cannot shake the lingering sense of unease that tugs at the corners of my mind. The journey to overcome my social anxiety is far from over, and there will undoubtedly be more challenges and obstacles to overcome in the future.

Yet, I am emboldened by the knowledge that I am not alone on this journey. With the support of my friends and companions, I know that I can continue to push myself out of my comfort zone and grow into the person I aspire to be.

As I look towards the future, I am filled with a renewed sense of hope and determination. The path ahead may be uncertain, but I am ready to face whatever challenges come my way, knowing that I have the strength and resilience to overcome them.

Aftermath in Mexico

In the aftermath of our success in Mexico, a sense of accomplishment lingers in the air, mingling with the echoes of our triumph. The memory of capturing the rogue scientist and retrieving the stolen documents fills me with quiet satisfaction, a reminder of the strength and resilience that lie within us.

But even as we bask in the glow of our victory, I cannot shake the nagging feeling of unease that gnaws at the edges of my consciousness. The world is a vast and unpredictable place, filled with dangers and uncertainties that lurk around every corner. Our success in Mexico serves as a stark reminder of the challenges that lie ahead and the importance of remaining vigilant in the face of adversity.

As I reflect on the events of the past, I am reminded of the bonds that have formed between us, forged through the fires of adversity and strengthened by our shared experiences. With each contract we complete, we grow stronger and more resilient, united in our pursuit of justice and redemption.

But amidst the triumphs and victories, there are also moments of doubt and fear, reminders of the fragility of life and the uncertainty of our future. Yet, even in the face of adversity, I find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone, that we stand together as a team, ready to face whatever challenges may come our way.

Journey on the foreign land

As I found out that I was still weak, I began looking for jobs to get stronger, alongside someone else I'd gotten into contact withーHidari Ringo.

He was in Japan at the time, and the job I found was in Japan as well, I figured that this would be a good opportunity for us.

I won't bore youーthe eventual readerーof the details of my journey to Shibuya.

As I arrived in Shibuya, Hidari was there to pick me up just outside the Airport, and since I figured I'd be staying in Japan for quite a while, I might as well have a tour around. We went to multiple places, and signature landmarks, and finally, headed to the location of our mission.

The details of the mission are as follows:

"Steal Jujutsu Kaisen Leaks from Akutami Gege."

We arrive at the Manga Studio, and I opt to go around the building, whilst Hidari goes through the front entrance, pretending to be a new translator.

We eventually met up in an elevator, after some troubles, and went up to the third floor.

Upon opening the first door we see after getting out of the elevator, there, we see himーAkutami Gege, in his studio, working.

Hidari went into the studio first.

I went to take a drink for reasons I would not elaborate further, but as I was drinking, I heard a noise coming from the studio, so I looked at the windows.

There, I saw himーEight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General Mahoraga.

I quickly rushed into the studio to attempt to help Hidari, but Akutami dismissed Mahoraga instead, so I didn't help at all.

Afterward, we got the leaks of the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen, and Akutami Gege's contact.

As we were leaving, I asked Hidari about places I could potentially stay at.

He offered to let me stay in the shed at his shrine.

I accepted his offer, and that's all for now.

 

Until next time, who knows what'll happen.

Reflections on a Band of Misfits

Reflecting on the events of yesterday, I find myself grappling with the peculiar assortment of individuals thrust into my path. It's as if fate has a twisted sense of humor, orchestrating a meeting of misfits with disparate dreams and desires.

Ringo, with his burdened heart and unwavering resolve, left an impression on me. Despite the shadows that seem to cling to his past, there's a flicker of hope in his eyes, a spark that refuses to be extinguished. He navigates the complexities of our world with a sense of resolve that I find both admirable and perplexing. There's an air of mystery about him, like a book waiting to be unfolded, its pages filled with untold stories and hidden truths. In his presence, I can't help but wonder about the journey that brought him to this point, and the challenges that lie ahead. Now I am curious as to what his past is.

Vlad, the wild dreamer with ambitions as vast as the sky, brings an air of unpredictability to our group. His obsession with dinosaurs and dominion is both intriguing and unsettling. He did some questionable things when we first met, but I am willing to let it slide.

Maxwell, the enigmatic genius, is a puzzle waiting to be solved. His mind teems with ideas and schemes that defy conventional logic, leaving me to wonder what secrets lie beneath his calculated facade.

Giovanni, with his quiet intensity and ambitions for empire, commands attention with his presence alone. There's an aura of danger about him, like a storm brewing on the horizon.

As for myself, I remain on the periphery, a silent observer in a world that moves too quickly for me to keep pace. When faced with the chaos that engulfed us at the restaurant, I could do nothing but offer words of encouragement from the sidelines. My Reality Erasure proved futile in the face of such turmoil, leaving me feeling powerless and insignificant.

Yet, despite our differences and the challenges that lie ahead, there's a strange sense of camaraderie that binds us together. We may be an odd collection of outcasts, but perhaps, in each other, we'll find the strength to navigate the uncertain road ahead.

Until next time,

Isolation

It's been a bit since everything went down, maybe a couple of hours give or take? I found myself leaning heavily on my ability, using it as a shield to avoid any unnecessary interactions. But, as usual, it drained me, leaving me feeling like I've just finished a marathon with no finish line in sight.

But hey, what else could I have expected, right? It's not like I can snap my fingers and make all the social awkwardness disappear. So, here I am now, taking a breather, wishing I had some of my gear from that little scuffle earlier.

Everyone's got their eyes on me, but not in a good way. It's always about my size, my build. Seriously, people need to find something better to focus on.

So, where does that leave me? How do I navigate through all this judgment and nonsense? I guess I'll just have to figure it out as I go.

Until next time, when who knows what kind of chaos awaits...

Illuminated Earth

Illuminated Earth is a twisted reflection of the modern world where the advent of smartphones and the internet confirmed the existence of the supernatural instead of disproving it. Here, witch hunts have merit. Billionaires and Senators employ paranormal advisors and bodyguards, and everyone knows. Charlatans become pop culture icons, and each revelation inspires a new cult. The world is changing. The secret societies that pull humanity's strings scramble to adapt.

Now's a good time to move up.

House Rules

Contractors from Friday Night Hunters Are portable, and may play in Contracts in other Playgroups.
Friday Night Hunters grants 6 Experience points to GMs who achieve the Golden Ratio.
  • Citizenship: Active Players are normally expected to GM Contracts from time to time. If you want, you can ask the forever DM.
  • Supernatural Powers: All non-mastery, non-concealed Powers must be obviously supernatural when activated or grant a mutation that marks the wielder as supernatural or bizarre if discovered.

Full Setting Description

They named that time The Illumination, and it was by the flash of a camera phone.

 

The year was 2004. Until that point the Earth was as we had always known her. We filled her cruel vastness with legends, superstitions, and rumors. Warlocks, monsters, and gods lurked on the edge of the collective consciousness, always a possibility but never more. We lacked evidence. That evidence came as humanity filled its pockets with technology equipped to capture and transmit.

 

An iPhone found on High School senior Nate Klienman’s mangled corpse held a video of his girlfriend’s bone-snapping transformation into a monstrous wolf creature. A Brazilian widow documented a series of conversations with the misty figure of her late husband. A Chinese fishing boat caught a mermaid in a net and put it on display in the Beijing aquarium.

 

Each week brought a new revelation that we were not alone. Superstitions reversed their slow death overnight. Salem held their first witch trial in a century. The jury rendered a verdict of “guilty on all charges” and sentenced Maxibelle Horux to death. A week after her lethal injection, half the jury died from a tainted batch of flu vaccine. A fearful, populist movement arose to rid humanity of the creatures lurking in its ranks. Suspects are forcibly subjected to bizarre tests of their humanity, and the results are often open to interpretation. A mob’s justice is swift.

 

Yet the paranormal is not merely relegated to a persecuted class. Where some see monsters, some see sentience, and others see opportunity. If a vampire can sustain themselves on cloned blood and work the graveyard shift, why not legalize and tax? Politicians and Aristocrats employ odd-looking individuals as "advisors" or "protection." Entertainment magazines publish revelations every week about which celebrities shed their human skins at home. Charlatans of all stripes, from palmistry mediums to televangelists, have flourished despite the risks. The treatment of the paranormal varies from place to place, person to person.

 

Long have cabals, cults, and secret societies thrived in the shadows. Their roots run deeply through humanity’s oldest systems of power. Machinations are challenged, and sleeping dangers awaken. The world is changing, forcing long-dormant powers into desperate action. And it is in the midst of this great period of change that The Powers That Be have once again turned their attention to the blue marble. For the first time in two hundred years, Harbingers approach worthy individuals with an offer they won't refuse.

The Games have returned, and a new generation of Contractors are being forged.
