You decided to hire all four of them, they all just looked so good! You couldn't possibly not hire any of them.
And now... you had to figure out where to assign everyone.
Candace Godiva (Roll: 103)
A stern, lightly tanned woman with black hair tied into a bun, she seems stern but has a secret love for all things sweet.
PERKS:
Astonishing Assistant: Gives Willy Wonka a +10 to all Rolls and 1 extra AP.
Where do you assign Candace Godiva? (This happens after this turn)
[] Assign her to Sales.
[] Assign her to Candy Research.
[] Assign her to Candy Making.
[] Assign her to assisting you in your work, as your second-in-command.
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
Heath York (Roll: 102)
A burly man with brown hair and a great big, bushy beard, he used to work for one of your rivals, but was fired after he failed to copy your recipe. Thing is, he knew exactly what it was... he just didn't feel right stealing it.
PERKS:
Reverse Engineering: Whenever he wants, Heath can reverse engineer any candy given to him.
Candy Crazed: +15 when assigned to Candy Research.
Where do you assign Heath York? (This happens after this turn)
[] Assign him to Sales.
[] Assign him to Candy Research.
[] Assign him to Candy Making.
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
Henry Truffle (Roll: 65)
An average-looking man, but he seems like a good and honest person.
PERKS:
Used to Monotony: Suffers no maluses from repeatedly being put on candy-making duty.
Where do you assign Henry Truffle? (This happens after this turn)
[] Assign him to Sales.
[] Assign him to Candy Research.
[] Assign him to Candy Making.
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
Karla Honey (Roll: 88)
A dark-skinned woman with bright orange hair, she seems like a tomboy.
PERKS:
Tomboyish Charm: +10 to Sales.
Where do you assign Karla Honey? (This happens after this turn)
[] Assign her to Sales.
[] Assign her to Candy Research.
[] Assign her to Candy Making.
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
After assigning the four new employees to their positions in the company, you then decided to add some more storage to your store, it cost quite a bit... but you were fine with that..
Storage has been upgraded. 400 > 800. Next upgrade is: 800 > 1600. Costs: 20 Wealth.
You have lost 10 Wealth.
After that, you opened the store, to sell your candy to the masses. You hoped the new Lightning Lemons sold well, they were definitely a good candy.
Wonka Bar Sales: 377.
Laffy Taffy Sales: 814.
Ice Mice Sales: 300.
Toothy Fruity Sales: 349.
Nerds Sales: 312.
Never-ending Gum Sales: 118.
Lightning Lemon Sales: 769.
Holy hell, Joe and Ruby had quickly run out of stock of Laffy Taffy and Lightning Lemons, that's for sure... sadly, the Never-ending Gum had quite the decline in sales, probably due to the gum never ending. If you already had one, and it didn't end... why buy another? Maybe there will be more sales later on though, perhaps more people would want to try it out. (Laffy Taffy gains a temporary +414 next time you sell candy.) (Lightning Lemons gains a temporary +369 next time you sell candy.)
You have gained 223 Wealth. (Noticed my math was fucked, and I was counting the ones above the Storage Limit, as if we were selling that much... counted both of the ones above 400, as 40 for the math)
You have lost 24 Wealth from Joe Bucket's, Fred Morter's, Ruby Williams', Kelly Jones', Candace Godiva's, Heath York's, Henry Truffle's, and Karla Honey's Employment, and 1 Wealth from Advertisement. In Total: 25 Wealth.
You now have 716 Wealth.
You had managed to make a crapload of money, so that was good.
Afterward, Fred had rushed into your office wanting you to see his latest, and in his opinion, greatest candy to date.
"Alright then, let's see it," You said, as you placed the documents containing the math on how much money you made, down.
Fred grinned, and began to quickly regale you on his latest candy creation.
What Candy do you want Fred Morter to Research? (Choose one)
[] A Variation of the Wonka Bar.
-[] Fudgemallow Delight Wonka Bars.
-[] Chilly Chocolate Creme Wonka Bars.

[] Jawmaker: The more you chew, the stronger your jaw gets. It's simply amazing!
[] Blood Pops: A lollipop that tastes like blood.
[] Acid Pops: An incredibly sour lollipop, you'd advertise that they could burn a hole through your tongue... they couldn't of course. You weren't legally allowed to do that. Which was such a shame.
[] Butterbeer: A "beer" made out of butterscotch, sugar, and water, it had a very slight alcoholic content, but was deemed safe enough for children to have one.
[] Firewhisky: Alright, now... this one? This one was for adults only. It was a whiskey that fills a person with a burning sensation, before they burp up a small gout of flame. It was absolutely fascinating.

[] Starmix: Sweets that glow like actual Stars. Make for great nightlights.
[] Jelly worms: Jellies that wriggle around.
[] Ghostly Gummies: A gummy that, when taken out of its packaging, will phase through nearly everything. With the sole exception of any human parts, it's a candy and so, must be eaten after all.
[] Sweet N Sour: Hard Candy with a sweet side like Cherry and a Sour side like Lemon. Various odd combinations.
[] Temperamental Treats: A candy that changes its flavor depending on your mood! If you're angry? It's spicy. Sad? It's cold. Happy? It's one of the sweetest candies you've ever had! There are so many more flavors, depending on your mood! Try it now!
[] Green Rock Candy: A glow-in-the-dark hard candy, that grows when fed certain... elements directly, and it's edible! What a great discovery.
[] Perfectly Palletable Paints: A completely edible paint-like substance, it can be used for art and eating!
[] Whipping Cream: Whipped Cream, that when eaten lashes out within your mouth.
[] Walking Wafers: Wafers that, when put into your mouth, grow little legs and run around your tongue.
[] Gelatin Goose: A goose completely made out of a gelatin-like substance.
[] Sun Drops: An energizing citrus candy that makes you glow a warm yellow.

[] Bizzy Bees: A bafflingly buzzing bee-shaped candy for the busy that taste like fresh honey of your favorite kind and have the texture of honeycomb, the more you eat the faster and better you do whatever job is ahead of you!
[] Caramel Critters: These chittering candies covered in nuts are shaped like chipmunks, squirrels, and sometimes even elephants, and even act like them. Enjoy these nutty delights and be sure to share with the fuzzy friends they might bring you!
[] Minty Moths: These minty little candies never get dirty and clean everything they touch, including teeth! So no need to worry about rotting teeth ever again, as these floating flakes of freshness keep you clean nice, and clean.
[] Swifty Seas: These wavy wonders are always rolling like the sea, whenever you drink it, you gain the ability to breathe and see crystal clear under the waves and can swim as fast as any fish! It's also enough to keep anyone's thirst quenched for a full day on its own!
[] Motor Oil Lozenges: The lozenges are clear, showing a substance that looks alarmingly like motor oil in all respects, but tastes of peppermint. Once fully dissolved, it causes the body to work at peak condition for 24 hours, with the side effect of periodic exhaust fumes coming from the ears (harmless but smells of motor oil).
[] Cotton Clouds: For those who love fluffy foods, this special cotton candy is as light as a cloud, and moves like it too. From whispy winds to thunderstorms, this scrumptious sweet will make you feel like you're flying and bring a breeze, though careful of the occasional shocking surprise!
[] Fox Fire: A spicy 'candy' that looks like floaty embers, warm to the touch, and yet doesn't burn. It has a slightly grilled taste which somehow works with the spice and heat for a unique sweet and savory taste, which also warms the body
[] Autumn Apples: These caramel-covered apples reveal themselves to be just like apple pie filling when bitten into, both in texture and flavor. However, the best way to use these is to get them to make your own pie! They always take on the exact traits of how your family likes their apple pie.
[] Eager Eggs: These simply sublime sweets are perfect for Easter! When you hide them, they'll move to different spots to make Easter egg hunts even more fun! The shell is edible and you'll find random sweets in them, occasionally even ones not being sold yet!

[] Twisted Twirlers: These lengths of licorice come in many flavors! From black to grape, orange, peach, cream, mint, and many more! Enjoy these much-needed explorations of the potential of licorice!
[] Name Gummed Up in Committee: A minty Gum or Taffy that sticks to dental plaque and pulls it away. A blatant attempt to make dad hate us less maybe. Doesn't replace a toothbrush or floss, but effectiveness per attempt is really secondary to consistency anyway.
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):
After looking at Fred's latest candy, you had to decide what you wanted to do for the rest of the week.
There were simply so many options. You could research your own candies, upgrade the building again, go on a trip, advertise your store, maybe buy a lottery ticket? Who knows, you could get lucky...
What do you want to do? (Top 2)
[] Research more Candies.
[] Upgrade the Building once again.
[] Go on a trip to find some exotic ingredients for your sweets.
[] See if you can strike some deals with grocery stores to stock your candies on their shelves. (Would not recommend, for now, you might want to wait until you reach at least a Candy Production of 1000.)
[] Advertise your Store some more.
[] Buy a Lottery Ticket (Cost - 1 Wealth for each ticket; Condition- no bonus dice, DC of 100, if successful, it gives 100 Wealth)
[] Improve Knowledge and Imagination (Improve Willy Wonka's Bonus to Research Rolls)
[] See if you can upgrade the website a bit?
[] Open up a new store. (Costs: 100 Wealth)
[] Write-in (Write-in a custom choice):

Umm, Henry Truffle was the average guy, Heath York was the candy maker. Think you should switch the jobs you gave them.

Id go for minty moths (to encourage more candy eating since it keeps the dental dangers away) but I feel like going for one I came up with is wrong, so I went for the gum which basically does the same thing.

Note to self, everlasting or self sustaining candy is not very profitable and likely not so great for business.

Hmmm... I think we should wait til we have an engineer for making an engineering department, Heath isn't an engineer, he's a candy researcher as per his description, and Henry isn't really an engineer either.
We need someone who can teach the rest first. For now we'll just have to call a repair man. Because none of our employees know how to fix machines like this, and having them try to fix it might end disastrously.

Heath York sounds like more of someone whose speciality is not new product innovation, but reverse engineering products and optimizing the production of current and newly brought to market product lines, and product variant research. Basically, closer to a Product Engineer, whose forte is figuring out how to improve what's already there, both in terms of quality and quantity, ultimately bringing products from proto-type to mass-market production.
That being said
@radioxaxa
Henry Truffle is not a Researcher by description, his roll is 65. You might want to assign him out of research.

I don't think that that's a good idea to assign him to off the bat still, we have no idea if he has any engineering knowledge (not talent, knowledge, he might be innately great at it but he still needs information), he might need to do some reading/learning first.
Yite, does Heath have any enginneering knowledge?

how is this amateurish candy that he made while putting most of his efforts into the Wonka bar so popular?

No, he doesn't. He's a researcher, not an engineer.
