We're millennials in New York City. The gig economy is dominating. Housing is wildly expensive. Good healthcare pretty much only sits in the laps of comfy firms in midtown and FiDi. We've got mountains of student debt or, hell, still paying tuition. We're working one, two, maybe even three jobs but it still isn't enough. Thankfully there's iHunt. It's like TaskRabbit, but for killing monsters. Good thing New York's full of monsters (and no, not just the ones on Wall Street). It's an app for people like us who need the extra bucks to pay rent. Rich people don't use iHunt, just like rich people don't drive Uber. Especially because staking vampires tends to come with increased medical costs. And doing it alone? Suicidal.
Thankfuly, iHunt helps us link up with each other, matching up our skill sets. There's Evileenas like me (don't ask where that slang came from); we hit the books, do the research, and dabble in the occult. We know the right sigils to banish this particular demon or the right herbs to cleanse that particular haunting (no, it isn't just always sage). We're like Giles, just without the May/December age gap. Then there's Knights like you. You bring the fisticuffs, the baseball bats wrapped in silver wire, and the Ikea furniture sharpened into stakes. You're a fucking badass who Doesn't Afraid of what goes bump in the night. That's why we're the perfect team. (There's also the Phooeys, who are teching everything like drones that shoot consecrated darts or smoke bombs filled with powdered silver. But they're throwing our entire system out of whack and also probably greedy Hedge Fund brats testing out tech to steal our jobs)
So whaddaya say? We team up, take a few contracts a month, split the cash, and maybe afford to take a vacation once a year. Or turn that four bedroom flex apartment in Harlem back into a real three bedroom. That would be the dream. And if it turns into Friends With Benefits? Well, there's worse ways to pass the nights in the City That Never Sleeps.
