-[X]Bring Grace: Grace smiled at you as you held her hand. "Just like those story books. We're going on an adventure."
-[X]Bring Walter: You looked at the sleeping Baby Walter. "Don't let him become like us. Don't let him know nothing but abuse and whatever the hell that gene donners call parenting?"

You looked at them and felt every gaze that was befalling you. And you realized that you couldn't for the right reasons, ever abandon them.

It would be cruel to do so otherwise. Anyone with a heart would say the same.

And you were one of the rare people that did

"Whatever you do… you will listen to me." You said with a smile on your face, as you took their hands, and led them away.

You got a job at some old-time dinner from back when Portland wasn't a shithole relegated to the whims of corporate monopolies and interests. It was an old Burger place that had a crusty old geezer as the man running the show. And dear god was crusty and greedy.

"John." He said your name with disgust as you came running out from the back. "I had three orders needed ten minutes ago and now the delivery guy is here, hop to it."

"I don't know how to cook." You replied. "You and the guys won't let me near the line."

"Well, you saw how everyone did it right? Just do as they did and make sure not to burn them."

You really did not like that you were being thrown to the wolves.

But you did realize something very good.

Cooking was easy as long as you had the ingredients and knew the tempo. And the rhythm was easy to learn.

Prepare, cook, make, and serve. It was almost too simple that you really wondered if the sapping bullshit of the service industry really chewed people out from people who did not understand that same rhythm.

Or maybe it was because customers were indeed the shittiest of people. Which they were, but by god, did they pay when things really got into it, and they saw just how well things went.

After the first few burgers were duds, you were not good.

Then you changed the settings on the grill, and the fryer because they were cooking too slowly.

Three days later, people were tipping you dozens of dollars per burger, because that's how they did it.

Sure you didn't see any of that… But who the hell cares?

You got really good at this cooking thing.

Reward: Gain 1000 EC. The Restaurant likes you.

Gain Cooking (Skilled) You know how to cook. And for most people, that means everything (Unknown Effect. Quality of Life increased. Working in the service industry gains +20 to the rolls. Can now experiment with making food)

-[X]Find a Shelter: You need to find someplace for you to sleep at night. Maybe then, something can get better. Rolled:D100 => 11+30=41

You didn't find any place to stay, because it was out of your budget range.

But you did manage to stay at one of the local parks, with the local homeless for awhile.

Sure it was a stressful situation, but they were nice. Mostly. Only had to draw on them once to make sure your stuff was not taken.

It wasn't comfortable. In fact, most nights you didn't sleep, and just had to sit and watch, making sure no one stole your things.

Semi Failure: You managed to keep your things and keep safe. However, John gains A Level of Stress (Semi) and will suffer a -5 to his rolls until he is able to destress or rest)

Gain 1 Personal Action next turn.
--------------------------------------------------------

Disaster Roll:D100 => 28+30=58

You were almost caught. You had worked for 16 hours and realized that you needed to get to your family.

It was almost too late. Corpo agents were looking for your brother, and they had been roughing up the local homeless.

And then they shot at them. Saying they were scum and the dredges of the earth.

You had barely had time to grab your things before they brought in armored trucks and started beating people senselessly trying to find you, even rounding up the kids and placing them against the walls to scan their faces.

It was incredible that you had even managed to escape.

Reward: You were almost caught, but still have your things and your family.
