(rebooting so I can better tell the kind of story I wish)

You are a honeyguide, a small bird that understants cooperation with other species(look it up they're pretty cool, even if documentation and personal accounts can't come to agreement on everything they can do).

However, your life has brought you on a divergent path. You will encounter animals your parents never did.

You are freed from your cage, and you flee some of the more ferocious animals from the shipwreck, until you find a hidden tree on the island with which you can catch your breath and still your drumming heart.

Do we have any income? Reoccuring expenses?

Assuming this is modern USA there are some things we can do.

1. Apply for food stamps and get a free smart phone(basically a small pc, this will be VERY useful). Takes 1 to 2 weeks to get our food stamp card and phone, but we should qualify. 6 mo ea.

2. Get on obama care, if we were accepted for EBT(food stamps). We are a scientist and the ability to see a doctor is pretty paramount.

3. THROW OUT THE GOOP. Food bank! Bad food will bring us down and make us less sciency. Sorry if I'm being toooo realistic, but all of this is grounded and relavant.

edit: you get like $200 mo from stamps that you can spend on any non hot, food items. Once we make about 700 a month income our benefits will start to go down, and be gone once for making about 1500 reported income. Foodbanks give about a shoppingkart full of food once a week, many only ask for id, some dont even need that. obama care means we can get free exams and even surgeries while we are super broke, and it will still be cheap once we make money.

This gets us going then we can determine what we want our cover job to be. Maybe something in electronics that throws out a lot of defective parts we can use. Or go into tutoring and teaching, nobody expects the teacher.

agent t was pretty sneaky, I want to reward experimentation, so I will allow it - this once.

from now on there are some new rules

summarize your action, ex:
2 red to stabby stab it.
1 yellow and 1 blue to make armor

Kamek: deploying goombiods in R1. You are now entering R5. Defend R6.

Kamek: goomboids... already eliminated. Red has taken R1...

Nice

If it's a concept test run, you may want to take the opportunity to throw weirdness at it to see if the system can take it; better to do it now than when you have the game proper running.

That said, I am truly grateful and excited to test what you have. Because your games are always the best and I trust that what you have to offer will be worth my time. Roseheart for president!!!!!

I see a STRONG vote for custom mechs. Though I disagree. I believe the opposite: get the skeleton of the game running and fun then it can support...

...all that weirdness.
