Capitalism, Ho!: WILD CITY

[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? ]

THE END.

[idolpro]

You live a life of complete and total happiness and luxury in beautiful %CONTINENTNAME%. Your "company" gets utterly dismantled by angry customers and victims, but who cares? That's for the loser who bought it from you to worry about.

Well, okay there's one snag: one day your family wakes up to find a severed ear in their bed. And then your house fucking explodes, and you each suffer some pretty horrible burn wounds. But that's not too bad, and you just buy a new house. Working on buying new skin, next! Soon, the futuretech will let you do this!

Crime pays, and you're laughing all the way to the bank. Truly, this is the life!
