Capitalism, Hey!: pep!pep!

[ 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 uniform, 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? ]

Last year's budget. Same deal but we need to cut since we're going to need more food and medicine to at least help with the coughing. Plus, we still have no luxury. I guess if I had to spitball something it would be 400 house, 700 food, 200 meds, 100 clothes taxes and maybe books on this stupid disease.

Then... then do that or something, please, Sunshine-san... I know this is stupid, I know it's all rigged! But we can't stop trying, we can't! Look what happened last time everyone thought we did that!

... I haven't given up, especially when you're so worried. I actually did think Pink's idea was creative enough to be feasible in a game like this. That's the main reason I considered it. But if you think it's too much risk, this approach is fine.

Slight difference of opinion on what 'trying' means here, but if the focus is on the survival necessities, that budget's probably the best we've got with our funds.
