Capitalism, Hey!: ☆ZRAEL

[ 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? ]

EVENT 1

[idolpro]

While working in the coal mines, another worker knocks a bundle of dynamite down into a crevasse on accident. You could probably retrieve it if you climb carefully. What do you do?

EVENT 2

[idolpro]

While working on the mineral line, you notice a problem with a conveyer belt. You can either attempt to fix it, or leave it for the next shift.

EVENT TURN-IN

[idolpro]

[stakesthesame]

EVENT 1: I'll get some rope and tie it around myself so I can lower down more carefully and retrieve the dynamite?

event 2: I'll attempt to fix it? And tell boss that it's broken, I guess.

[idolpro]

You successfully retrieve the dynamite! You are SO GOOD at retrieving it that your bosses notice your vigilance and offer to give you a raise and change your job to SECURITY, because you are SECURE.

You fix the conveyor belt and tell your boss! But you are already SO GOOD? What can be done . . . You just start with another raise, I guess!!!
