Sometimes people think they know you. They know a few facts about you, and they piece you together in a way that makes sense to them. And if you don’t know yourself very well, you might even believe that they are right. But the truth is, that isn’t you. That isn’t you at all.

[Once a Sinner...]
Boarded and banished from the light of day, the cigar bar with a reputation for neutrality seemed more sin than sanctuary in present time. Permeating even the desert’s jewel in the dusk hours close to nightfall, the chill of winter cast the building’s exterior in a light more forlorn than it may have been otherwise.
Greeted by little more than a dusty sill and bolted door, a gloved hand rose to flatten the curled parchment nailed to wood’s outer panel that the announcement thereon might be made more prominent.
CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS, the sign read. Evidently, they had their work cut out for them.
Presented with the building’s exterior, closed though it was, prior memories were quick to flood the consciousness of the woman stood before. Form first taken was that of a buxom raen, pastel-haired, scant-clad in dance on a table, thereafter shifting to the ghostly visage of a gold gauntlet, and the highlander attached, attempting to piss on the billionaire's prized furniture... much to her chagrin.
Years had passed since she’d last come into contact with the property’s owner, a self-proclaimed playboy with a penchant for the finer things. He’d offered her a place on the stage, at that time, an opportunity crystalline to croon before a crowd in the high-class lounge oft visited. But that was a different time, and she: a different woman.
Withdrawn from the confines of the dark coat in cling to supple shoulders produced a small, flat board -- the best in data exchange that magitek had to offer. With a dull click, bronze and blonde were illuminated by the cerulean glow beholden to input. The message encoded thereon was brief, laced with intrigue, sooner slipped under the door in the aftermath and chased by the acoustic strike of heels making an exit on cobbled stone.
Such was her forte: aught of a need be said was better done face to face...
Gerald,
I have a business proposition for you and your associates regarding the future of the Sanctum; one that is well worth your while. Encrypted herein is the frequency for my personal linkshell. I'll be expecting your call...
The devil’s in the details, after all.
Dinner’s on you.
OS.

Psychological Archetypes - Morgaene Hunte
The Destroyer (or Rebel)
The Destroyer embodies repressed rage about structures that no longer serve life even when these structures are still supported by society or by our conscious choices. Although this archetype can be ruthless, it weeds the garden in ways that allow for new growth. The Destroyer is a paradoxical character whose destructiveness reflects the instinctual death drive and the inner fear of annihilation. As a fighter, the Destroyer tends to be careless of their own safety, and can sometimes put others in unnecessary danger as well. Their quest is to use their passion in a balanced way that will sustain them.
Shadow Side: The self-destructor. This will manifest itself in your life as the tendency to be prone to addictions, compulsions, or activities that undermine intimacy, job success, or self-esteem. The shadow side of the Destroyer tends to motivate a lot of emotional and physical abuse (domestic violence, murder, rape, suicide, etc.) when completely out of control.
Life Goal: Metamorphosis. Fear: Death, annihilation. Response to Problem: Destroy it, be destroyed by it. Life Task: Letting go, acceptance of mortality. Personal Gifts: Humility, metamorphosis, revolution, capacity to let go. Personal Pitfalls: Doing harm to self/others, out of control anger, terrorist tactics.

A few belated images of Morgaene’s apartment base of operations. Alas, filled slots and a mannequin limit leave it unfinished for the time being.
“Here is what they do not tell you about Death: when Death says ‚You are born for this’ , she clearly means ‘You will die for this’.”
