Capitalism, Ho!: AlcheME!

[ 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? ]

Cool we have one thousand to work with. Let's just eat good food and not pay taxes I guess.

Not paying taxes sounds good. I mean if we go to jail for it they have to pay for housing, right?

Yep. Let's just have food.

I suppose it is all up to "luck" in the end, anyway...? [SO WHATEVER, that's cool with him. More importantly:] Do you feel alright?

No....

Maybe we need some kind of a house to keep B in. I don't like the sound of that cough.

You have had 200 MONIES stolen from you. Your income for this year is now 1000 MONIES.

(You do not have to respond to this event.)

[K throws a brick in the general direction of any escaping thieves ANYWAY.]

Don't...

A SALESMAN offers you a cure for your horrible disease. At the low, low price of 100 MONIES! Do you accept?

[does want

but also seems fake

as is, he's too busy coughing to do much]

B, do you want to try it? Please just nod or shake your head.

[SHADY but he'll prioritize B's opinion since B... is the one who will actually be taking the medicine...]

I suppose we would have that much "left over" after food...

[But he's not sure about feeding B some kind of shady medicine when it might be HARMFUL and not just fake.]

Not like we got any better ideas. We spent a whole bunch on medicine last time round and it did fuck-all.

Your family begins to STARVE. It seems that your mine is also in danger to shutting down due to the flooding. You may soon be out of a job.

What do you do?

[i ruined everything

no regrets]

Right, fuck it, let's just steal from Baritones.

We are already going to be "criminals" from "tax evasion" anyway.

[B will probably not be okay if they keep sliding downhill, but it seems difficult to prevent that as they are, so.]

900 on food
cant afford taxes

Event #2: They buy the shady medicine from the SALESMAN for B.
Event #3: They're going to steal monies from BARiTONES. Resorting to Crimes so they don't starve.

You buy the medicine!

It...just makes B sicker. B now has STOMACH FLU. Enjoy the stomach cramps and bathroom trips!

You steal for food, but it doesn't really help with the mine shutting down. Which it does, so now you're out of a job. Yaaaay...?
