AMALTHEA

[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. ]

It's not like we have the finances to get around taxation, anyway. If we skimp there to make up for something else immediately, any penalties are just going to make it harder for us later.

[unguilded]

Yeah, and I'm sure those penalties won't be fun.

[menially]

That's putting it mildly, yeah. It might be tempting, but I don't think it's worth the risk.
