One day you will meet a recruiter. You will get an envelope with money. Your new job is a flip-flop hunter. They pay well, but you need to move around parallel worlds - not always friendly. You can be eaten. You don't trust anyone. Magic mixes with technology, astral - with reality. Such is the Layering. But in the case behind you is a shotgun. In the scabbard is a silver-sprayed dagger. So not all is lost.
