Hi. It’s Tarot again. While I’m relieved that my powers came back I’m still having trouble finding Claude. Those last 2 leads turned out to be dead ends. The company that had Claude (or a lookalike) has closed up shop and the TV show that I thought Claude might be in is no longer filming. While seeing events and things is a skill of mine, finding folks isn’t. While I know there is a special who can do that I have no idea where she is either. I also don’t wanna eat up time looking for a different special when the one person I really want to find is Claude. I did try using my cards and manged to keep my finances up but no luck finding Claude that way. I was really beginning to get discouraged…
And then I stumbled across this picture. From what I gather this fellow is selling hi tech weapons of some kind. He also looks intimidating but then so does Claude when he’s in a mood. If that’s not Claude (which I don’t think he is), I hope he’s selling information as well as weapons. This could be a relative, as Claude isn’t into the sort of weapons this fellow is selling. As I recall, Claude prefers mop handles and beer bottles, preferably ones he’s emptied himself. And while I know he enjoys watching a good fight, those were fist fights not all out war. Claude’s pretty basic when you get right down to it: Watch a fight, make some money, then go get drunk. It’s not that Claude isn’t clever enough to sell arms, he just doesn’t go in for all out country vs country fighting. Though from what I’ve gleaned the fellow in the picture is into black market stuff. I’ll see what he has available for stealth gear. He just might have something that could help me find Claude… so long as he doesn’t turn out to be Claude himself trying a new game- which I doubt. From what I gather this man is up in Scotland somewhere in a castle. He’s probably a distant relative of Claude’s. I’m wondering if I ought to go back to Blackpool for research, first.
Of course the thought has occurred to me that as I’m looking for Claude, he could be following me around invisibly, seeing what I’ll do next, out of boredom or whatever. That certainly would explain Clyde’s odd behavior at times. I have yet to figure out how to see Claude when he’s cloaked short of using infrared goggles. While I know those would indeed show me if he was about, I worry about the attention a pair would attract. There’s no telling who else might be looking for Claude. I’ve a strange feeling I’m not the only one seeking hard to find people. I also have a nagging feeling that things are about to get a lot more dangerous back in the States. I may just stay on this side of the Pond a bit longer… maybe for the rest of my life.
