And all of them invariably involve one specific [[Pump King Jack\|gourd]].

	[[Shiawase]] has noticed this trend - specifically, a well-intentioned subsidiary, [[Imperial Kami Services]], who have historically [[This Is Halloween H20\|offered their hand]] at preventing disaster each and every. This year, they are taking a proactive approach - though this part of Seattle is not zoned for extraterritoriality, [[Shiawase]] has procured a quite robust footprint in the area, including well warded office spaces and a wide variety of employees.

	Although things seem on the level at a glance, [[Knight Errant]]'s [[Jane Dior]] smells something rotten. Without proof, however, she can't accuse them of anything, and without meaningful suspicion beyond a nose for conspiracy, she can't even begin to find it.

			The meeting back with [[Knight Errant]] goes exactly as planned, despite some tense gearing up and preparing for the worst. [[Jane Dior]] is happy with the cameras as they've been placed (with IKS approval of course), and rewards the team the agreed upon amount. Lights dim, rifles lower, and they disappear, having never officially met.

[[GOODLUCK]], once again reaching out to her CIA grapevine, finds an in with [[Shiawase]] middle-management, who, after some initial confusion and questions like "How did you get this number?", set the team up with an audience. The man's name is [[Asahiro Kunitoshi]], the head of [[Imperial Kami Services]]. And he will see them underground.

			[[Asahiro Kunitoshi\|Asahiro]] greets the runners brusquely, though politely, all save [[Rogozhin\|one]] whom he ignores. Their discussion is enlightening - [[Asahiro Kunitoshi\|Asahiro]] explains the purpose of [[Imperial Kami Services\|IKS]]'s mission here in Sophocles. Demons tread the streets here, and evil spirits freely prowl. This is what they are trained for - and this Halloween, the curse of Sophocles ends.

			The runners seem capable, and very amenable to his ideas - he may even have use for them in the coming days. Again, save for [[Rogozhin\|one]], who obstinately asks what their time is worth to him, given that they have sacrificed work to warn him of [[Knight Errant]]'s suspicions. One of his oni bodyguards leaps from the pedestal and slaps [[Rogozhin]] across the face, who smiles back with gritted teeth. How dare he speak to [[Asahiro Kunitoshi\|Kunitoshi-sama]] like that. He should have him killed.

			Having burned two bridges at once, the rest divest themselves of his dissent, and agree to help. [[Asahiro Kunitoshi\|Asahiro]] will be in touch.

	The final round reveals spirits joined hand in hand - an obvious water from the Shinto tradition, and two Ancient Greek heavy infantry flanking (phalanking) the apparition from behind.

After a quick brainstorming session, the team agree that a frontal assault seems ill-advised - but, to glean a little extra information, [[Obsidian]] opts for one more hail Mary. When in doubt, ask the Greeks, who largely seem to be on board with the whole [[Shiawase]] occupation. The locals are happy to have the help with strange spiritual goings on. When asked who they work for if not [[Shiawase]], they only gesture toward those same ensignias as before.

			This is way too hot. Despite some dissent among the group, an idea becomes whole - "Actually, fuck [[Knight Errant]]."

			To [[Shiawase]] they go, to sell out and hopefully still get paid.
