[soulping]

[ 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 Cathay, on the fifteenth anniversary of the day the company Lupus' Secret Stash led a coup and established their own government. In fact, you can now remember why you came here - to escape the misfortunes of your own country - because this is truly the land of opportunity and freedom. ]

[soulping]

While at work, a fellow worker falls into a crevasse. They have broken a leg, but you can probably climb down and save them. Do you do so?

EVENT 2

[soulping]

Ventus becomes horribly emaciated. He's barely eating enough to make it through the week, and at almost all times the pangs of hunger strike you almost unbearably.

VENTUS is STARVING.

BUDGET TURN-IN

EVENT 1

[soulping]

The extra money you have lying around results in an ATTEMPTED BREAK-IN.

You do not manage to fight off the assailants. 450 of your saved up MONIES are taken. ROXY is SHOT IN THE ARM. VENTUS is SHOT IN THE LEG. Do you take them to a doctor or attempt to take care of it yourself?

EVENT 2

[soulping]

Flooding in one of the caves has cut down coal production, putting your factory in danger of shutting down. You find yourself out of a job for the remainder of the year.

As a result, you all become horribly emaciated as you use up the last of your food stores. You're barely eating enough to make it through the week, and at almost all times the pangs of hunger strike you almost unbearably.

Your family is STARVING.

EVENT 3

[soulping]

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