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. ]

We ain't payin' taxes.

[ Said rather grimly, because man fuck all this. ]

[menially]

You say that knowing full well we might get into an even worse situation later because of it, right?

[powerpunch]

[ Okay DEEP BREATHS, SWOOP, don't let your fuck the government thing get the better of you right now. ]

...We could certainly use that extra cash, though.

[menially]

We could.

Are you alright taking that kind of risk, though?

[powerpunch]

As if we aren't takin' a lot of risk on as we are now.

...if we play safe, even if we survive, we'll just.. linger and suffer.

I think we should risk it.
