Much better. The weather was certainly more calm than when Sentinel stepped off the boat into the brisk German wind when he arrived a short while earlier, now things had settled down with the first signs of snow falling gracefully to the small area known as the Kreuzbazar, nestled within the flux state of Berlin. A most interesting place.

Sentinel, a Shadowrunner by trade, naturally followed the trail of money, the place where the jobs were, places such as this community that were ripe for the picking when it came to the corps. And he relished in it. The Kreuzbazar and other areas of Berlin had been the centre of conflict a number of years back, and like clockwork it Sen could tell it would soon be a gain.

Follow the money, follow the job, follow the conflict.

Although nothing appeared to be occurring, with the streets as serene as the weather that hung above them, this hotbed of culture and personality reeked of a million stories, from the cramped looking apartment buildings, to the stalls and shops that hugged their bases. They all said something, and Sen wanted to know more. For now however this lone Shadowrunner without a job or any contacts had to get settled in, get the lay of the land. He had been tipped by a previous contact who knew Berlin to help set him up with living arrangements and any runs, but for now he wanted to get to know Berlin. Arrangements at the port had left Sen's trusted equipment to arrive at a drop location at a later date, for now though, he was without anything, and so made his way to the highest point he could find to view the entirety of the Kreuzbazar.

Running his hand through his dark hair, now tied at the back, Sen exhaled slowly as he marvelled at the Berlin skyline, a cloud of warm breath escaping from his mouth into the biting cold air. Lighting up a cigarette and gently inhaling, Sentinel sat as his eyes darted from building to building. As he did so, a quiet expression of excitement grew across his face, finally focusing his gaze upon a small soykaf place below. He turned back to the skyline and focussed inward, calling to the magical spirit that aided him.

"You see that? With a little work, it's all gonna change" He confidently said before leaving his cigarette in his mouth and leaning back. "Or not" he mumbled through clenched lips, "Either way, I'm sure you'll enjoy what's to come"
