(Here we go with round 2!)

Black Shadow always took on jobs without knowing what he was getting himself into. Sometimes this would be no problems, and other times he would experience problems that would take him a long period of time to figure a way to clean up the mess. But money was money, and Black Shadow would rarely pass up an opportunity to earn money.

Black Shadow began most of his days walking through the marketplace. He would search for people in need of help in exchange for money, and would sometimes find jobs that would send him out into other places to hunt or kill something.

The end of each day, Black Shadow would go to his favorite local bar. Inside one could find some beautiful kills mounted on the walls, painting worth thousands, furniture found nowhere else, amazing beer, and a bartender that knew everyone who entered into his bar.

“Shadow!” the bartender shouted as he entered into the bar.

Every person inside stopped and stared, he had almost become a legend in the eyes of the people. Black Shadow nodded at the bartender and walked through the tables and people to the bar. He sat down and waited, then the man walked over and placed a glass of the finest beer in the place.

“So, what could Ol’ Demitri do for you today?” The bartender asked, already knowing the answer. Black Shadow pointed towards a board behind the bar with wanted posters. “Ah yes, the usual. Let’s see here, today we actually do have something new.”

The help wanted board was normally filled with “lost dog” or “missing person” which almost always lead to that missing thing having been killed, and then they would refuse to believe it and refuse to pay. Black Shadow never took those jobs.

Demitri walked to the board and pulled a piece of paper off, handing it to Black Shadow. “Someone came in just this morning with this. Gentlemen has been sitting in the corner over there all day. A few people have talked to him, I guess he needs more people. He’s willing to pay half up front.
