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? ]

BUDGET TURN IN

[idolpro]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

While working in the mines, someone asks you to pass you a pack of dynamite. Do you hand them the ones with the SHORT-FUSE, or the LONG-FUSE?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

Your home has an infestation of rats. What do you do?

What kind of mansion are we renting here? That rent's too freakin' high, let's shake down the landlord.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

What is this event about dynamite... How are we meant to know which fuse length they need?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

They will just call the police.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[undressedforsuccess]

So? I bet we can take 'em.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[earthquaked]

If it's short, it'll detonate faster, won't it?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[undressedforsuccess]

. . .We're gonna get blown up, huh.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

But they may want a quicker detonation.

...Maybe we can give them the longer one, but tell them so they can cut it if needed?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

All of them?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[undressedforsuccess]

Bet we can pay 'em off. Cops are lazy, they don't wanna really do work.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[fullbodied]

Honestly, we should just take the dynamite and use that to deal with the landlord.

[FUCK THIS GAME]

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

....that will draw so much attention....

If you want to kill the landlord, let Plover eat him instead.

[ it's not like he's a real person right?? ]

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[undressedforsuccess]

Oi! How come you're giving me grief about shakin' him down, but murder gets a pass?!

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

[ He was going to say something, but North had other ideas ]

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[fullbodied]

We should still save some for use later.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

A murder can be covered up! Shaking him down will only get us into trouble.

He isn't a real person anyway!

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[fullbodied]

Honestly, maybe if we try a combo. I look cute and see if I can negotiate with him, if that doesn't work, then you shake him down, and if THAT doesn't work, then Plover can eat him.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[iamverybadass]

...I dread to think what we will need it for, but very well. We can give the coworker the long-fused one and keep the short one.

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[fullbodied]

Cool. Now, what about the rats? And the budget?

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

[undressedforsuccess]

Heeeh? Okay, mafiosa, we'll do it your way.

We're obviously handing over the long fuse, right? Otherwise our idiot coworker's gonna blow us sky high.
