Capitalism, Hey!: AlcheME!
[ 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? ]

But also you've heard that people have DIED on this conveyor belt. Uh, you don't want to do that!

TURN IN
Re: TURN IN
100 x 8 = 8/8ths of a car
0 / rent
400 / food
100 / med
100 / clothes
We obviously, obviously do not pay taxes.
PLAN:
We buy a car and skip town, after robbing our workplace for dynamite and rigging our old apartment to explode to fake our deaths.
In the new town U tries to get a job in a kitchen (and failing that tries to get involved in the exciting world of con artistry), B tries to get a job cursing people for hire because that's a thing we can do, and K tries to get a job also. Probably also in a kitchen. Not in a mine.
Re: TURN IN
U does not get the kitchen job but gets into the exciting world of con artistry! Exciting . . .
B becomes a curser for hire. Wowzers!
K is a kitchen mans.
I can't believe you got good rolls for this.
