John smiled politely.  He filed the information away
for future review, but wealth for the sake of wealth
was something he cared little about.  Money got him
what he needed, and he often needed very little.

"I run an occult bookstore.  Small, but prestigious in
certain circles.  Let's me meet colorful people, make
new friends, and enjoy a side of Gotham that most
people are completely unaware of.

sorts of people.  Sometimes I get in trouble,
sometimes I find my way out of it.  Pretty mundane, I
suppose."
