DAWON

[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. ]

...Added up, that's 2400. We've got a bit over 1800, so we should prioritize based on what's most likely to harm us if we don't have enough. I think food and medicine is most important.

EVENT 1

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.

Re: YEAR 2

[soulping]

You manage to find a doctor who claims to be able to take care of Hydra if you allow him to come see him. He seems awfully shady, though...do you accept?




In other news, LACE's ARM begins to heal.
