Capitalism, Hey!: BARiTONES

[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? ]

[FOR FUCK'S SAKE.]

One of you give me a goddamn fancy outfit and I'll get a damn job!

We tried that, you jerk! And we don't even have those any more, in case you didn't notice!

Re: SET YOUR BUDGET.

You only tried it to get out of a tight spot with the cops! You should've been looking for a better job from the start! Instead of just relying on me in the goddamn mines!

[but okay FAIR ENOUGH WITH THAT SECOND POINT. he's just. so tired! and frustrated!]

We need to keep ourselves fed, first and foremost. We don't have enough to buy food--so we steal or we kill rats and survive that way.

As for the rest, we can invest in whatever gets us the win criteria. Figure out the rest when we get at least food situated!

What, this is my fault?! At least I dealt with the cops! And it had nothing to do with that -- we submitted for all of us looking for jobs after, all of us, even if we didn't get the stupid mine owner's job!

I put in what Ruby wanted and I put in what Eichi wanted and I put in what you wanted, so don't put this on me!

IT WAS A GENERAL YOU!

Stop sulking and get your act together! Do you want to die over something so stupid as not having enough food? Think!

[WELL SHE



IS JUST GONNA TEAR UP

but angrily swipe at her eyes and turn to walk away]

[UGH.

WHY IS EVERYONE. LIKE THIS.]

If getting a job won't work at this point. Then I'll do it. I'll go out and steal what we need. If I get caught, I get caught--but at least I'll try something! Instead of dwell on how things went wrong!
