Capitalism, Hey!: AlcheME!

[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? ]

Or we could steal a cat, I guess.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

I'm telling you, man, just eat the rats. They're made of meat.

Re: EVENT 1

What if theye're plague rats? I don't wanna eat plague.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

If they're plague rats we're already fucked because it's carried by fleas.

Re: EVENT 1

[irregular]

I still say we steal a cat.

Re: EVENT 1

[liarliarliar]

Those rats are diseased.

But we can probably sell them as meat for animals.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

How do we know they're diseased! Where's it say. Fine, we can kill them and grind them up into dog food I guess.

Re: EVENT 1

[liarliarliar]

I mean...

I guess I could eat rats if. I have to. But if this is our food source we should tweak our budget.

I could sell this meat on the side though while doing tarot?

Re: EVENT 1

[irregular]

B, nobody's gonna want to eat rat pies.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

They don't have to know it's rat, K, honestly now.

Re: EVENT 1

[irregular]

So you're thinking really awesome gravy? I'm pretty sure it's still gonna taste like rat.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

Plenty of cultures eat rats as street food, it's perfectly edible if prepared correctly.

Re: EVENT 1

[liarliarliar]

U IS a really good cook too.

Re: EVENT 1

[irregular]

Should we add some extra to the food budget for that? 100 monies for rat seasoning.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

Surely our 800 moneys can pay for some salt.

Re: EVENT 1

[irregular]

Well, I guess you're the expert in... seasoned rat? I dunno.

Re: EVENT 1

[liarliarliar]

We can't take good care of a cat once we're out of rats anyway.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

Oh, yeah. We could sell rat pies or whatever. Perfectly usable meat especially if we've got tons of 'em.

Re: EVENT 1

[liarliarliar]

Rat pies it is. We got pick axes from the mine. Let's. Murder some rats.

Maybe keep a few? To let loose if you have to heist while people are around? They could be good distractions.

Re: EVENT 1

[wantstheddd]

Sure, keep some as pets, why not.

Re: EVENT 1

Future heist friends.
