Head for the closest person.

Hey! Entity. Don't remember your name. Whatever. Were you part of the pact I may or  may not have made last night with some other people?

Get up groggily and dust off my robes. Then cautiously explore the hotel in case there actually was anyone else there. I remember swearing something, to do a thing? Shit, shouldn't have had so much whatever the hell they serve.

Name: Xankarvo the Grand

Soul: Xankarvo was (after an unfortunate spate as an unlucky fellow hoping to advance his powers of shapeshifting) a mighty wizard focused entirely on creating a universe after his own image. This dream ended after he accidentally spawned the Big Bang inside his brain.
Incarnation: A tall bald guy in voluminous robes of glaring purple and shining silver and deep black, with a track suit in those same colors underneath it.

What You're good at: Xankarvo enjoyed his pyromancy, but on occasion a wizard's just gotta do it by hand. He's extremely good at setting things on fire.

What you're bad at: Socializing/resolving things peacefully. Xankarvo could have charitably been called an arrogant fuck.

Your Hopes: Xankarvo wants power. He's not sure why  it's just a wizard thing. He wants to increase his abilities endlessly, to be without limit. To be omnipotent, perhaps. 

Your Fears: To be ineffectual, to be incompetent and useless, unable to use even great power granted  to him. He must be competent! (He's Xan that doesn't wanna act like Xan)

What you need to survive: Snacks and drinks. It's a limitation he despises and wishes he didn't have, but it's there.

What's in your pockets: He has a toothpick, an olive, and a really fancy pen.

Also no one mentions Balon.
Remember, Mel?
You said your magic would kill Balon?
No word he's dead yet.

Sup, Mel?

Hell, with road trip if it's a multiplayer thing I could justify Xan being there seeing as he's died so many times.

As someone who used to work very closely with Federal law enforcement (as opposed to the city/county Barney Fifes that a lot of these incidents seem to come from), I can attest that there are good law enforcement professionals, and there are blatantly racist, aggressive ones who have no business wearing a badge and carrying a firearm.

I think one problem is compassion fatigue. You see it in a lot of professions that are public-facing, especially ones where you're dealing with unruly, ungrateful people on a daily basis. Teachers, ER doctors, defense lawyers, tech support, law enforcement...it's very easy in those professions to get so frustrated by the people that you're supposed to be helping that you start to see them as the enemy. I know a couple of agents that would watch stuff like YouTube clips of gang members getting shot and killed, and laugh about it. Not in a black humor kind of way, but a genuinely malicious, deriving pleasure from watching another human being die kind of way.
As someone who works retail, I can wholly agree on that point.


Jokes aside, that is a big problem, but is there any way to really address it besides a room in the police station full of puppies/kittens and pictures of happy faces plastered on the walls?
