《Affairs of Demons and Men》Quinn 12 - Downtown - Avenue View Apartments

Cassandra has at least honored her word. Staring at the email sent, and addressed to Karma. I assumed she would back out, actually. Even when I spoke with her. She seemed hesitant. A part of her didn’t want to agree. A part of her wanted to.

There's a photo: A woman with blonde, stringy hair, stares into the camera. Despite the deadened expression in her eyes, there is a fury buried deep. Her expression, says it all really, that she feels justified in her actions - whatever they may be. The slight defiance in her clenched jaw. Her lips held tight, as if just beneath the surface she was holding in a scream.

She believes in the Celestials. I guess the question here is what my aim or goal is. What is my next plan of action actually? Zoe might be useful. Her dutifulness to her Community might be able to be used to initially send a message about Karma’s judgement. Probably from the Celestials themselves. I could tap into people’s faith.
I think I have seen something like this happen before, somewhere in a movie, likely. I am not sure if this is a thing that happens in real life.

A politician? An Oakside Representative. Barely. He’s a Traditionalist. I know a bit about him, he’s been on the news lately. He’s been arrested on allegations of embezzlement and bribery. There’s even a rumor that he killed the Humanist Representative he was competing against to get elected. Though the police never found evidence. Or maybe they hid evidence. Skipping over her written information about Hector.

Is this some sort of test from Cassandra?

Skimming over the details of Tommy briefly.
I remember seeing this on the news briefly. Mostly people mocking him. Mainly for his excuse of why he went on a string of robberies from several stores in the area, he needed to make rent.

This seems relatively minor. In comparison to the other two files Cassandra has sent. I think the obvious choice would be Hector. He’s a politician after all, and someone people don’t necessarily like. However, I think it is important to wait to see the results of his trial and use that to my advantage. If, and they will since the judge is in Hector’s pocket according to some of the rumors, Hector is found not guilty afterwards, killing him might rally the people to Karam’s side. And recognize that Karma is their champion.
Before I use Hector’s redemption to scare those trying to use the system to their advantage. I can use Zoe’s redemption to bring Karma to the people’s attention.
I guess the question is, how do I use Zoe for this?
I know, judging from her expression in her police photograph - she feels justified in her actions. You can see it in her eyes. In her clench jaw. It’s not entirely rage. More like she wants to shout, you fools. You puppets. You’re tools to your own law. I sort of get that feeling from her face staring into the camera. It’s almost like looking at two people. Her. And hazey version of her.
I know The Pen - kills people through a string of accidents. I don’t really know how The Pen entirely works. I know that if I write the way someone dies specifically, then The Pen does so. Maybe - staring at The Pen, I wonder if this Pen is from the Celestials. Is this some sort of fate? No likely coincidental. And yet.
I think the best way to handle this situation - would be. Staring at her picture. What would you do? If you were to die tomorrow, what would you say? How would you end it all? I don’t think I fully understand her, but there is something dark that I do understand. Something foggy and unfocused. Opening my journal, it might be;

When I write with this Pen, there is an understanding, almost like a link between me and them. And I don’t know why. Is this how this Pen works?


There is a haziness when writing.

What I wish - To send my message? Whose is that?
