Themes: responsibility, family ties, giving up, crushed dreams
At first, the Du Toits only wanted to send the young ones to the Revachol, but youth is restless and needs guidance. That’s why Aaro was chosen as the only mature family member to accompany them. After all, they were the child of the head of the family. After their arrival, they were also the ones who failed to realize that they had been terribly scammed, and since then, Aaro hasn't stopped blaming themselves. They work the hardest and suffer the most from the exploitation of their employers, partly to forget their guilt and partly to shield the other Du Toits. The letters from Oranje relatives are piling up on Aaro’s desk and becoming harder and harder to answer. The situation has made Aaro look for solace in rather unexpected places, but some things cannot be postponed indefinitely.
FULL GROUP TEXT
(mandatory for members of the group and Immigration Officers, optional for others - for example various other foreigners)
The immigrant housing occupies one whole wing of La Cage, the more decrepit one, hosting families that are far from home. People love creating distance between one another. Migrants from Graad and Oranje and some undocumented poor souls live here, stuck between horrible jobs in local sweatshops and old dreams. All together, squashed under one roof, the various cultures are clashing and mixing with each other, while everyone is still trying to maintain a sense of belonging. But is it even possible to call La Cage home?
Suzerainists believe in self-governance for Revachol and the very intense need for its independence. They mostly follow right-wing values, some of them are very nostalgic towards pre-Revolution imperium, and some of the Revolutionary communists might find themselves also aligned with this point of view. They are hostile towards the Coalition, partly Moralintern and very much towards corporations. They have a lot of revisionary sentiment.
Suzerainists mostly gather around the leadership of von Bergens, but there is a possibility for some discussion on who is best suited to lead them. They wear a Revachol sun as a symbol of clear allegiance to Revachol.
Globalists are people who mostly believe in some version of the current status quo, want to be under the Coalition control, believe that corporations can be reined in/ controlled/ regulated only by international control, or are not a problem at all. They would mostly tend towards centrist, centre-left ideas and they do not mind things taking quite some time. They wear blue forget-me-nots, showing allegiance to Moralintern and Coalition. At this moment, Globalists are hardly organized. The Moralintern mission in the block is trying to stay away from local politics. Jacqueline Baciu is considered a hero by some, old, washed up, and possibly corrupted by others.
A group of avid readers, discussing books, ideas and critically analysing theories and contemporary developments in economy, politics and sociology. Fiery discussions can come based on their deep analysis of the texts, deep friendships are formed and deepest hatreds come to life. What could be more important than the correct interpretation of text?
Everyone knows HealthiLife: the vitamins aren’t cheap, but what is your health worth? That’s the question its sales cadre asks as they go door to door, promising health in a little pill. Some swear by it but those who signed up to sell it only curse the day they did, somehow never able to get out from under the debt.
But now there’s a new game in town: Elixir! Health in a vial, treating all manner of ailments and slotting neatly into the HealthiLife product line. The cynical might say it’ll be just as useless as HealthiLife (and the foolish and cynical might say it will get you just as sick), but nothing sells like hope.
When the two managers go head to head, however, and secrets about the organizations are brought to light, who will come out on top – and who will get trampled beneath their feet?
