《Idealism》The Start of Change (5)
Advertisement
The discussion starts.
"1st, we have infrastructure projects being built in the low-income households right now. The shortest requires another month, and the longest requires at least, if my memory does not fail me, a year and approximately a half."
Joseph remains quiet, and motions for whoever is speaking to continue.
"2nd, where would we build your... cheaper apartment buildings? In the very same households that need them? Where would they go while its being built?
Joseph motions for them to stop. He says, "Sorry, let me write down your questions." He starts writing.
"3rd, what would the terms of the policy to lower the price of houses be?
4th, where would we even find someone, or a warrant, or even a reason to search through the records of the hospitals?
5th, what if there is no such eviedence that the hospital raised the prices, or anything along that line?
6th, how far should the minimum wage be raised?
7th, how will you allow employers to have more money at hand to pay their employees?
8th, how would you ensure that employers do not take the money for themselves?
9th, well, this isn't really a question, but are we supposed to brainstorm the new jobs for the mentally and physically now...?"
Joseph looks up. "We can do that later. Is that all of your questions?"
"No. 10th, how would you begin to lessen the reasons for people to do crime? Even then, what about the ex-convicts that are already out there?
11th, how would you lower the qualification for jobs? You can't just go into companies and start asking them to lower their qualifications.
12th, will you share your thoughts on nationalising industries and providing incentives and subsidies? And, if so, when?
13th, even if the app to report domestic abuse works, what do we do to the offenders and the victims?

14th, where would you build the facilities to work against addiction? Even then, how would you ensure that people will come over and be willing to talk to the workers there?
15th, what would the terms of the Brexit deal be?
16th, do you understand the implications of making a livestream that essentially strongarms billionaires into giving money to the government?
17th, do you know how many scientists we have working on weapon projects right now? And how high their yearly cost of living is?"

The Dungeon's Escapee
An Earthling, a Summer Elf, and the only male Phoenix in existence walk into a Dungeon... Okay, maybe they don't really do it so much for glory but rather because it's their job, and maybe they weren't really together, and some of them were actually walking out. Enter the world of Cespes, a land of magic, mystery, and monsters. Now, the Ancient Gods have gone silent even as magic enters the Golden Era. The Avish Empire might have fallen four thousand years ago, yet much of society remains fragmented, even as they share more cultural ties than ever before. Adventurers have always formed parties. Now, there are Dungeons, dark, grey blobs that dominate Kingdom maps and kill everything within sight. Yet, beyond even these obvious places of danger entwined with fortune, a forgotten evil rears its head after fermenting for millennia. A call for heroes has arrived. Warning: This story is written in the first and third person with multiple POVs. I will try to publish at least once every two weeks, if not more. Cover art by: [email protected]

This might not just include sex but also violence, gore, abuse and rape because that's how a real apocalypse is. If you are uncomfortable with that I advice you not to read.

I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
