Capitalism, Ho!: avante en garde

[ 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? ]

... What if we use the pact on the military? Maybe it won't get all of 'em, but we can make an escape while they're dealing with... [ Gestures with his prosthetic hand ] That.

...I had my doubts about you and now I see I was wrong. That is exactly what we should do. Maybe fly off someplace warm with tasty food, wait for it to blow over.

Exactly. Use the pact on them, take all our money and fuckin' run. How 'bout some Pacific island? Those are always warm.

Yeah, no extradition treaties too, right?

...Are we supposed to keep the money or spend it on crap? Like, we'll have 4000 bucks, so I kinda wanna get another car.

Shit, that's right. I didn't even think about that.

I don't see a problem with another car. And let's finally get some good clothes.

The more we spend, the happier we are, I guess. But if you want some savings, we can do that, too.

So: clothes, booze and drugs to pay off the island government, another car, some random stuff to go into the house... Pretty straightforward, if that works.
