[354] Aventurine

(the idea wasn't mine to begin with! I saw it somewhere, but I don't remember where, so I decided to move it here)

Penaconу has survived the crisis and is gradually recovering, as the IPC will monitor it better. You didn't relate to anyone, but the only thing you've achieved is connecting with one of the Cornerstones. Surprisingly, you became friends with Topaz in some way. Your first meeting took place in a bar in Dreamscape, but how Topaz got there is unknown. You knew exactly what you had drunk with her, and then you somehow participated in every single thing that happened to IPC on Penacony. So, when the Stellaron crisis passed, Penacony began to live in a different way. And surprisingly, Topaz shared with you the new developments of the IPC project, which is called Currency Wars. Something like a debt collection simulator. Topaz talked to Jade and Jade agreed to let you participate in the testing of the new thing.

You came to the Residence of Morning Dew, looking for the place where IPC rented its office. You searched for the office for a long time, but when you found it, the Jade and Topaz were no longer there. Apparently, you were met by another IPC employee named Aventurine. Obviously, he was bored sitting at the table, but when he saw you, his gaze sharpened, a slightly mocking grin flashed across his face.
"I didn't think that people like you take the time here"
Aventurine chuckled.
"My bet, this is my life. Your bet should be equal, obviously your life is also a resource for sale in the game." he laid out the chips, distributed them equally. After having laid out all the cards the game began, your life was only in the hands of the game and only luck could help you
