Downtime
Anger Management
Ever since I gunned that man down, I've had flashbacks to how my behaviour thwarted every group that I was apart of. It's compromising my efficiency. I never let it get hold of me like this before either. Have I gone soft? Old? Bitter? My old sergeant would have put some sense into me back in the days... perhaps I should find someone who will.
I hired a psychologist in my spare time. Talked to Raphael as well, and a bit to madame Bocuse - It's been 3 weeks now and they say I've mad significant progress. I no longer explode like a petard when someone calls me a connard. I feel more in control of my emotions, and I think I know why. All this hatred to abhumans - I've been feeling it on myself, much as others. I let my sense of superiority, my spite for the power I control take the steering wheel, so to say.
No more. I'll be a better man now. I won't let wrath plague me. I won't let my spite to the abhuman decide how I will act. The world is plagued by tyrants that abuse their powers - discipline and strong morale will help me root them out.
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.
