Capitalism, Hey!: 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 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? ]

the dust

A dust storm threatens your livelihood and therefore your lives. You'll definitely just die a slow painful death out here in the sun if something isn't done about it. It turns out there's a reason this farm was abandoned.

This is your last chance.

THE END.

[idolpro]

Viva la...

...Oh.

Oh, no.

You might've had a chance. But...a huge prison riot broke out at the same time your revolution started. And the military showed up in force to stop both of you. It seems you lied to your comrades when you told them they had nothing to lose but their chains.

You don't get to feel guilty about it, though. You're slaughtered in the clash before you even realize how it's all gone wrong. The initial cannon shelling of the city by the navy catches you off guard, and you're torn asunder and buried beneath the rubble of the building you were using as headquarters. You bleed out there, trapped and utterly broken.

Goodbye, and goodnight.

Proceed to ENDGAME.
