Summary of the story:
When cyborg CT-19 comes across a job offer for bodyguard for the next Prince of Council he isn't sure whether he should apply or not. When he does, he soon gets involved in a game of magical battles and political intrige, together with his new employer, his mechanic and her twin brother, who is pretty damn cute if he may say so himself...

CT-19, DIARY ENTRY 334.61.230
Dear Diary,
…. sup?
I don’t have much experience with writing, but my therapist thought it would be good for me to get some of my thoughts out of my head and onto paper. They said I could write about anything that comes to mind, so…
Today was okay. I went out for groceries. There was a discount on Friggis’ Ice Cream, so you can be sure I stocked up on those. Kepel seems to enjoy them as well (Kepel is my cat, by the way). She’ll do almost anything for a bit of cream and I’ve managed to teach her some tricks this way. She’s the only company I have at the moment so I pretty much always give her whatever she wants. It couldn’t hurt her to cut down on the sweets a bit, though…
Pam invited me over to have a drink the other day. She isn’t one for small talk, usually we only meet up for business purposes or to have a little sparring session, but I think she wanted to check up on me. She managed to cover up her intentions nicely though, by actually giving me a job offer as well. She heard someone at work talk about a council member looking for a bodyguard. Apparently they’re running for Prince of Council. Being a bouncer at Vertigo, which is what I currently do to make a living, might not be my dream job, but I imagine it’s much better than to protect some,,,, ugh I can’t even find the words to describe them. The thing is, there’s a lot of stigma against people like me, you know… cyborgs? And my whole life…. you know what, I don’t want to talk about that right now. Maybe some other time. Once you get to know me a bit better, dear diary.
Anyway, working for someone who holds that stigma in place? Count me out. Pam said this one was different though… that they vowed to make some actual changes if elected to be the Prince. But I doubt it. The perks of the job are great, though. It comes with a decent apartment and everything.
I don’t know, diary. I still have a week left to send in my application. Pam said she already wrote a letter of recommendation for me, which would put in a lot of weight considering she is the head of the Academy… And should I get hired, I can always say no thanks after I’ve had the job interview.
We’ll see, dear diary (should I give you a name?)...
For now, I’m gonna take a shower, try to clear my head a little, take a nap, cook up some dinner and then off to work it is. I’m working together with Bolo tonight. I don’t like him very much, but he’s good at what he does, I guess.
Kepel is demanding my attention so I really have to go now.
Bye.
CT-19 out.
