Mosaic City, located along China's coast, is quite large city sometimes called the Crossroads Between Nations due to its diverse population. While it was once a large tourist spot, the city was placed under a blockade as the military appeared claiming there was a radiation leak. The true hazard, however, is much more sinister.

"Hoo. You're right. That those people exist is a problem. So, why don't I make you an offer to do something productive? The next time you're propositioned for a job, kill the contractor instead. Every time you do, I'll give you double what they would have originally paid you." He smiled innocently, deftly sliding a hand into one of the pockets lining the inside of his coat to pull out a business card, "I'm a money lender here in Mosaic City, but not the usual kind, as I'm sure you can already tell." Isaac didn't like giving away money to people who hadn't passed one of his tests, but in truth, this was a test of it's own. "If that's not enough for you, then I have a deal for you to ensure my sincerity. Seventy-two hours without harming a single living creature, from a human to the smallest of flies. Do that, and you'll be rewarded with a million yuan to start with." After explaining, he offered a slight shrug, "Just because I wish to preserve the humans doesn't mean that all of them are worth saving, after all."

Sakuya froze in place as the fellow Shadow started saying things regarding a deal. Kill the contractor instead? No, she would not accept double pay even to do that. However, he mentioned that he was a money lender. Obviously, not the typical kind... There was a certain quality about him that was off. Regardless, she stood and listened to what he had to say. He mentioned that if Sakuya could avoid harming a single living creature for the next three days, she would be given one million yuan. Sakuya had no idea how much power the yuan held right now, however, it was a game she found intriguing. She turned around and went over to the man, accepting the business card he held out.
I'll humor you with your little game.
Sakuya had enough funds by now to last the rest of the year anyway. What was a couple of days of doing absolutely nothing going to do to her?

When she took his card, Isaac's smile grew slightly. He had already committed the feeling of her particular presence to memory, so he would be able to track her down in the future. Probably. A Shadow's ability to sense other beings wasn't unlimited, after all. "I'll be watching. But, this task may be a bit harder for you to accomplish than you might think." He tipped his hat in her direction before turning to walk away. But he hadn't gotten more than a few steps before looking back at her from over his shoulder, grinning slyly, "By the way, that partner of yours is cute. Don't you think so?" He actually had no idea whether or not the woman had a lover. If he had to guess, he would say that she was miserable and alone. Still, if she didn't have one, then the comment would be meaningless. But if she did... well, he did say the test wouldn't be easy for her.

Sakuya blinked as he walked away, though he mentioned a little quip that gave Sakuya a shiver. What a little piece of shit... Sakuya really had no idea if he knew, or if he was just doing it to rile her up. Regardless, Sakuya had to be careful. If Jaelyn were ever harmed, Sakuya would take action into her own hands. One million? That was not even worth anything bad happening to Jaelyn. Fuck you. Sakuya silently thought to herself as she watched the guy walk away. She quickly sauntered off back to her villa to make plans. If she was really in danger, if that guy really wanted to find her... Then Sakuya would have to make him pay. Somehow. If it meant throwing away a million, she didn't really give a damn.
