Capitalism, Ho!: Heart Soldier Senshi

[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? ]

I can't believe these bastards found us out. O- Ok, [ shivering. ] new plan. 700 on car, and let's... let's fuck off outta here.

W- With the rats. And clothes. L- Let's get clothes. Medicine too. S- Shit. ah, Math... [ 2400 - 700 = 1700 to allot. ]

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Y-yeah.

[Hugging his arms in against his chest.]

L-let's, uh. That sounds good. We're n-not gonna be able to mine no more, but. If we, l-like. Skip the country a-and start the circus early, w-we're good, yeah?

[ calls the rats over. ]

Ok, so car, clothes, medicine, and food. Just need to, ah, b- b- b- budget. Fuck.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Yeah, snuggling for warmth is good.]

Y-yeah. I think... I t-think we got leftover?

M-maybe... m-maybe we could get like... giant j-jackets or something.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

How about 200 dedicated to fancy clothes then? A bit f- for each of us? And we still have the rats. We can use the f- f- for warmth. We need, uhm, m- medicine and food.

Ok. Uhm.

2400 monies total. 1700 after the car. 1500 after the clothes.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[crossmyheartandhope]

W-we gotta eat, too. And we b-better pay extra so the rats can have some, too.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[420blazeit]

[ she does a bit of recalculating. 1600 post fancy clothes. ]

200 on medicine then, and we'll have 1400 leftover? T- Think that's enough food? O- Or should we do a little less and, like, splurge on some booze.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[crossmyheartandhope]

M-maybe like. Little less on the f-food and get some b-booze, too? Booze t-totally got calories anyway.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[420blazeit]

G- Good plan. Ok, ah, let me... [ scribbles on some scrap of paper, presumably. ]

If we're drunk we... we can't feel the sick or color or unhappiness. [ gives a laugh. ] 200 on booze! and 1200 on food.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[crossmyheartandhope]

O-okay. Y-yeah, th-that sounds l-like a plan.

Th-that - I th-think that adds up.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[420blazeit]
