Will you pay taxes this year?

While working in the mines, you hear the sound of rushing water on the other side of one of the cavern walls. It seems distant. Do you attempt to use dynamite to break through?

Someone arrives at your door offering FREE ALCOHOL. What do you do?

Edited 2019-07-03 19:14 (UTC)

[like on one hand, he knows how to work with very little money. on the other hand, this is stressful. on the other other hand, it seems like it's just him, so he can definitely get by with less.]

Uuuhhh, guess I need t'work harder...

[ Well, she wasn't in the mingle but she's here now, taking in her new "coal miner" situation with something between interest and bafflement.

The distant sound of water, though, is very interesting. ]

I admit the risk is significant, but a part of me feels it is worth it. What we discover might make a difference.

It already looks like there are places we'll have to cut corners and make sacrifices, but the risks of doing so are...

[ a sigh, running her hand through her hair ]
This doesn't seem like a good first game for you; I'm sorry. But we'll do our best.

Yeah, s'worth a try. 'specially since taking another job to make more ain't an option. [why isn't it an option, he could totally do it.]

Ya don't need to worry, 'm fine. 'sides, Lavender told me about the bad games already. [he isn't happy about the prospect of his unit getting wrecked. again.] All we can do is work hard and do our best, yeah.

Yes.

After the game that took place just two days before your arrival, I think a lot of units were upset to see us... killed once again. We can hope that translates to us being spared some theft this round, but I don't think we can rely on it.

[ a pause ]

Ah, speaking of which: What is your opinion on whether we should attempt to steal to survive? If we're found out, it will damage our reputation with the unit we target, but it's one of the only ways we have to ensure a roof over our heads.

Depending on what we find, it may even be our chance at another job. Though I don't know that an underground river alone is worth anything.

...If nothing else, it may be beautiful to see. And in this game, a "measure of happiness" is... surprisingly literal.

Event 1: Yes, we attempt to use dynamite to break through. If how matters, then the following procedure is used:
Specifically, Amaranth will be handling this, attempting several small explosions rather than one huge one, with Mika serving as look-out for signs of cave-in while she works.

Event 2: We turn them down for now, because Alcohol Is Not Virtuous, but inquire where they got their alcohol. They must be doing well for themselves if they're just giving it out, so do they have a friend in the moonshine business? Or maybe they're doing well enough for themselves that they can afford to take on extra employees in their business!

...sounds like they're just gonna be sad when we die but do nothin' to help.

[wow that's bitter.]

I dunno. 'd rather work hard then steal, but if that's our only option to survive... [does not want his unit to die again, thanks.] What do other units think of us, anyway? I jus' know we die a lot. [like...what is the situation here??]

As would I--work hard, I mean. If this were truly our lives, and not a game, I'm sure the two of us could manage to provide for ourselves.

But... as for the other units... I only know the answer with confidence for some of them.
As far as I'm aware, there are no units that truly dislike us, but with everyone having so many people they want to protect, we... are all too often forgotten. [ she's... a little bitter too. ]

We have a sworn alliance with BAD END=DEAD END, and help and protect each other as far as we are able; they are another unit that has suffered much in these games. We're also fairly close with avante en garde, but do not have a formal arrangement of protection, at least not yet.
I have two children on sensitIV, so they would probably prefer not to target us, but I know they will prioritize saving themselves, as is their way.

Finally there is BARiTONES. They are... a bit of a unique case. Like us, they are a very new unit, but where we have been gentle, they have been aggressive--and, as a result, they are often hated. But we and BARiTONES understand each other: we both know all too well how little our lives have been worth to the others, compared to their established friendships; it is just that only BARiTONES has been willing to play accordingly. Our two units will never truly be friends, but if we can avoid making one another's lives harder, we prefer to do so.

You discover gold! Yaaay.

They tell you they just found it. You know, on the ground.

You narcs.

CURRENT JOB - GOLD MINER. YEARLY INCOME - 2000 MONIES.

Your family begins to starve. Do you steal food?

A tax collector shows up at your door. You are under arrest. What do you do?

[the tension in his posture doesn't relax when he hears that at least they aren't hated. and he mumbles the next sentence, half-to-himself, miserably.]

...so we're thrown away 'cause no one cares enough. [trauma button.] And then they're all sad after 'cause this unit died again, like they didn't help throw us away by doin' nothin', and keep doin' nothin'. Sounds like it's the same for BAD END=DEAD END, too.

Though you discovered the gold vein, the mine's owner is claiming it for himself. You have been offered a promotion, but will you accept that or try to stake your own claim?
