Capitalism, Hey!: BARiTONES

[ 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? ]

Obviously! We don't have the money for that.

Why are we paying for the house? We'll just live there. I'll deal with the rats and you talk some other idiot into going to get the dynamite or whatever. We can spend the money on food and cool stuff.

We can't afford both the house and the food with this kind of budget... we only have 1800, housing and food are 1900. We'd be 100 in the hole. And that's on top of not paying taxes which might be punishable.

Who's gonna make us pay for the stupid house? It's got rats anyway.

I mean... I guess...

But in that case, the food would be 900 and we have 900 to spend on other things. Nicer clothes would probably be good for getting another job...

So, uh, why do normal clothes cost 300 but the fancy ones are 100. . .? Obviously we should go for fancy.

Clothes.

[personal profile] lefthandpath 2019-07-04 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's probably upkeep. Clothes wear out, so you have to get them fixed n' stuff.

But yeah, nicer clothes will help with jobs.

So... 6 fancy clothes? And 300 for general clothes?

There's only three of us, why do we need 6? Let's get beds or something.

Fancy clothes like, are less functional and hardy. Good for looking fab, terrible for actually doing anything in.

I can't be a miner!!! I can't do that kind of menial labor.

[The real problem here.]

Also this is extortion with this house. Do we have a landlord?
