Capitalism, Ho!: BAD END=DEAD END

[idolpro]

[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.

You're wearing raggedy versions of your clothes, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing a recent high-profile murder having been solved: despite confusion on the part of the authorities conducting the initial investigation, it turns out the victim had been tragically murdered via gun in the knife.

What do you do? ]

Re: EVENT TURN IN

I graciously don't punch the tax collector in his stupid fucking face. I just shut the door on him instead, and go out the window. My boss gets out of it without a black eye, too, somehow. It's a Solstice fucking miracle.

Instead, I tell my boss that I'll accept the promotion, keep working for him and making his mine make a killing, and agree not to stake a claim of my own, provided he uses his rich asshole connections to make my tax problems go away and lets me stay rent-free on company property. I'll even be diplomatic and shit. Can he afford to lose me, etc, etc. I've saved him thousands in machinery repairs already and made him a small fortune in gold. It's more than worth his while to keep me around; I've done nothing but good for his company so far.

If he tries to negotiate, I'll let myself be talked down from the free housing.

You now have an arrest warrant out for you, buuuut.

Well, you get to live in a mine so that's pretty cool? And you get a nice promotion?
