[WP] You are a member of a sinister cabal ruling the world from the shadows. It is your job to arrange assassinations, massive coverups, etc. The thing is, most everything you get credit for sort of happened on its own. Today is meeting day, and you once again get credit for something you didn't do.

[TT] The supernatural is real, if still something most people never encounter up close. You are a veteran of a special unit within the police, assigned to protect civilians from supernatural horrors. Today is your least favourite holiday; Halloween, and you have a bad feeling something's going down.

[WP] It is mandated that all movies must have a happy ending, including old movies. Naturally, film makers are reluctant to spend much money on reshoots and overhauls. Thus it is your job to convince the censors that 'controversial' movies are totally happy fun bombs with no or minimal editing.
