30th Devotion: Protecting the Near and Dear

[favoritetraitor]

I'd like to ask for all members of ARTEMIS to please limit your contact with others until the Geostygma disease has been contained. So far, there is no cure from what I've seen, so naturally there is only one thing to do to prevent the spread of this illness.

Stay inside. Communicating with others is best done only through the network at this time...

Saya... please do likewise. If Hagi is with you, make certain that the two of you don't leave the apartment. If not, I think it wise to send him to my old apartment until we can be certain that both of you are clean.

[ooc: And to make matters far more fun, Solomon has been struck with today's curse of 'I Cannot Tell a Lie'.]

"On"? I assure you, I'm not 'on' anything whatsoever... is it so strange to find new situations and experiences 'fascinating'?

I've never met a scion before...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Nope. Just you being interested in demon crap.

So what do you wanna know? You haven't said yet.

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

What exactly is a Scion? Abilities, lifespan, biological differences compared to humans...?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm half demon. Said that already.

All that other stuff? It varies.

That's not really helpful... I don't suppose you'd agree to letting me examine you. I'm a doctor at the city hospital, you see.

Ah, I suppose that's asking for too much. Forgive me. My curiosity sometimes gets the better of me...

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Pay me and I'd think about it.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Really? That is tempting. Let me get back to you on that...

I'm a mercenary. I don't do things free generally.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

A mercenary? I wonder...

How loyal are you to a client? Can you be bought out by an opponent of one you serve... turn against the original client?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Long as they pay me, they're who I work for.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

So you can't be bought away while still on retainer? Even for a considerable amount more?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I'm a bastard but I got some class.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

I think I like you better already.

Tell me, Mr. Kincaid... what exactly are your skills? I'd like to know what you are capable of bringing to the table.

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

With or without weapons?

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Why choose one? I'd like to know what you're capable of with or without.

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

I can get in and out of places. I know how to use pretty much every weapon there is. I can disarm just about any security system. I have sniper skills as well as hand-to-hand. I can snap a man's neck. I know pressure points to stun or kill. I can set traps.

I can do all that without leaving a trace.

I make some good food too.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

And what of this half demon aspect... does it make you any better than anyone else at what you do?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Re: voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

... can you please elucidate?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Faster and stronger than your average human. Better senses. I heal faster. I'm older.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Indeed? How wonderful...

And how are your discretionary abilities?

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Good if the one paying me wants that.

voice;

[favoritetraitor.livejournal.com]

Don't they usually?

[Private to Kincaid]

I believe I might wish to hire you, Mr. Kincaid.

voice;

[notexactlyhuman.livejournal.com]

Depends on how smart they are.

[Private to Solomon]

Job offer huh? What's the job?

Well, it's rather simple really. I'm interested in putting someone on retainer to act as a sort of... damage control for me when my organization is going to be interfered with due to a curse.

There was an incident awhile back where I wasn't quite myself and almost caused one of our projects to be set back... quite embarrassing, actually.
