They can't possess a given host *that* long -- a human can't be driven 
out of their body indefinitely, and even a Shedite of the Game's 
possession only lasts a few days.

      Although the following thought suddenly strikes me.  Consider if 
you will a small group of humans ready and volunteering to assist 
Shedim of the Game.  The Shedim have simply lied to them -- they're 
angels, you see, and every now and then they need to hunt down this or 
that demon which has escape Hell and needs to be brought back.  A body 
is ever so useful for doing this; would you mind opening your mind to 
me on a regular basis?  Heaven appreciates your service.

      If you'd like to additionally help, why, we can assign you a few 
tasks on your own.  Occasionally we have to have to separate a demon 
from his funds or some allies.  We'll need you to do a little property 
damage, a little smash-and-grab, a little blackmail... it's all in the 
name of Heaven, right?  Don't sweat the ethics, you're fighting 
*demons* here.  Yes, even Habbalah.  They're not angels, just crazy.

      So you've been helping me out for a while now.  We've taken down 
some serious, crazy demons together.  You're a real pal.  This one, 
this one could be a toughie.  He'll seem like a *really* nice guy.  A 
doctor, in fact.  He's gotten himself a position at a local clinic.  
You *don't* want to know what he's been slowly doing to the area's 
children.  Anyway, he's running for office.  His opponent, well, he may 
seem a bit smarmy, but he's human, at least.  But this first guy, we 
can't let him get elected.  We need to *ruin* him.  We may eventually 
need to physically off him.  It's Hell, and it's war to the knife, but 
I'll understand if you don't have the stomach for this one.

      You in?
