TIAMAT

[ 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. ]

Will you pay taxes this year?

[Minimum food/housing budget is 1900.]

[we have 1825.]

[Just. This face.]

[oh hey, something she's familiar with!]

Hm. What is a coal miner?

[HE FEELS YOU BRO]

Seriously. . .

There's not enough...

S-so what do we do? We have to go without something for right now, don't we?

[yeah i'm kinda making upset faces too]

... Someone who mines for coal?

That much is obvious. I was hoping for a little more elaboration than that. Is it a dangerous job?

Well... we're family, right? So we could probably skimp on housing and buy a smaller place for 500. Then, we can all just spend 900 on food. Can't work if you don't have a full stomach, right? Then, we can do 125 on medicine, and 300 on clothes.

Not much in luxuries, but it's functional. Right?

...

[going over this carefully...]

It never says we have to spend that much, though. What about... 300 on clothing, 900 on food, none on medicine since we have Clover's healing, and then the last... 625 to housing?

[Outlining an idea to Ruby.]

I guess it wouldn't be Nafuna if there was actually enough to go around.

Any ideas? [Might have just suggested one to Ruby.]

Probably.

Powers are off during the game, though... I'd say we want to move 500 to housing to hit the minimum, and move the other 125 to medicine to make up for it.

Hmm. Something to keep in mind, then.

Clothing is a waste of an expense if it is something we can fix on our own. Medicine is a greater necessity, yes?

[that little for housing, what does that mean, though... leaking roof holes in the walls cold water no power- nope, we're not thinking about that, it is only a game.]

What is the minimum here, really?

Then 200 in medicine, 225 in clothes, and I'll just go without a shirt when I work?

From someone like this, I'd expect she would make everything dangerous.

For food, 450. For housing, 500. Any lower than that and we can't get any happiness from anything else.

...Clover suggested we move medicine to 200, which'd make clothing have a budget of 225.

She did want to see us suffer.

[sigh]

I like games we can't win.

[he says super dryly]

. . . I say we give the least to clothing. The other three are a lot more important.

... We should give absolute priority to housing and food.
