Canes and Snares (Curses and Consequence)

The concept of a 'Cousin', a Scab, is that of a Contractor, as opposed to a 'Lodge', a Bonesman, a Specialist.  The prior, is a standard civilian with an exceptional skill passed down in family or tradition, both being a 'Ringer', family being a 'Fraud', and tradition being a 'Novice'.  The latter, is a priest, psychiatric agent, or cop, with the building tempo being a 'pig', 'cleric', or 'narco', the three ancient terms in 'westerns', used by acting staff (read: them), with any combination building being the upgrading groups.  Once you've crossed a Cousin, you go to Purgatory, the entire Bible found in these twelve curses, all major works of art and particular trade practices and concepts, rooted in daily practice enforced by the last three, the punishments, at the bottom, from having past burned a Scab and having been a 'Pickup Artist', you stole a girl or guy and put it in the theater, on 'Contract', your payment for a job we did for you (you trapped us, now we get more Purgatory for your esteemed organizations).

It should be noted, that each curse, places you in a consequence (a "Rom"), detailed below in another guide set.

Vesta (Night Terror): Fright Dream, horrifying dreams coming for you because you want to go to church again.

Vulcan (Crux Hire): Back Door, the concept of being able to sneak into a job, through your own spouse, actually watching you in your mind.
