I received the message as soon as I awakened.
The Council of Seven requested an update on my progress in Manila, if I had found any Kindred inhabitants here. I reported that there was still no evidence but that could only mean that they were well-versed in subterfuge and stealth.
This was the 5th missive I received in the last 5 years since I arrived. Always at the same day and at the same time. I imagine that it is automated, much like the modern world's version of spam email. I knew that the Council did not have any interests in establishing a foothold here. Otherwise, they would have sent more than a solitary Kindred such as myself.
It was punishment, I know, for defying my elder and seeking to increase my station without their consent. They "gave" me the opportunity now, in this 3rd world country. Find out why there were no established domains here. Look for others of our kind and report back on the political/social/economic viability of establishing a chantry here.
I cast the spell and replied to the Council.

New Job, New Life
I'm really excited about my new job!
I had the interview just last night and I was asked to start tonight. The owner, Alessandra, was very nice to me. Although, a little bit weird. I went into the interview thinking that she was going to ask me all these questions about my life, my experiences but all she did was smile at me and ask a few questions about my family.
I had even looked up the bar's history. I was ready to tell her how she had made it successful from a small discotech to a lounge/bar. And that it was partly owned by her and a businessman named James St. Claire. As well as the fact it had the most extensive list of wines and spirits in Metro Manila.
She said I could start tomorrow night but she went around and introduced me to her staff. There were just 4 waitresses and 2 bartenders. Mario was on shift tonight; he was kinda creepy. I hadn't met the other bartender. She said that he lived downstairs in the basement. I found that more creepy.
But I'm just glad I have a job now. I hope this works out.
