Stories
9Worn-Out Straw Hat
A shabby straw hat purchased from a farmer, frequently mended by its owner, bearing the mark of many years. The life of a wanderer isn't easy, but it occasionally offers a small, insignificant surprises.
Elven Ear Cuffs
Forged from "mithril," its delicate filigree and flowing curves are the hallmark of elven craftsmanship. Even through perilous journeys and fierce battles, the ranger would never neglect this cherished keepsake from home.
... In reality, it's made of aluminum wire, tin foil, and glass beads.
Heirloom Crucible
A crucible possessing arcane powers, capable of refining various items depending on the user's imagination and skills. The family's talent is imbued within and cannot be easily discarded. Even if abandoned, once picked up again, it will still be able to fulfill any desire.
"Way of the Wilderness"
When the party won their first battle against a lord-tier foe and reached their first post-battle trading post, the ranger spent all her goblin-plundered gold on this hand crossbow, bought from the best merchant around. In hindsight, it was worth every coin.
Standard Revolver
The standard-issue weapon distributed by the Zeno Arms Academy, consisting of a pair of revolvers, one long-barreled and one short, to handle various situations. Displaying one's martial prowess is not only a way for a soldier to intimidate their enemies, but also a cunning trick for a girl at the gambling table.
Green Cape with Patterned Trim
A finely woven, deep green travel cloak—sturdy, dirt-resistant, and perfect for keeping out the night's chill. However, when the host announces a long rest, the ranger often drapes it over her Splintercat companion, preferring to curl up against its warm, soft fur instead.
The Expansion of Latin America
The United Fruit Company, a U.S.-based corporation which chiefly dealt in tropical produce from poorer countries in Latin America, it possessed vast financial resources and extensive plantations, yet beneath its polished facade was a history of abuse and conflict with its workers that never stopped.
In Colombia, 1928: The oppression of the United Fruit Company sparked large-scale revolts. Plantation workers seized the transportation railways, expecting the company to engage in gentlemanly negotiations. However, the company instead bribed a portion of the workers to sell out their comrades.
The outcome was inevitable—there was no shortage of traitors willing to sell out their fellow workers for a few loaves of bread. After this shameful betrayal, calm was returned to the streets. The flame of resistance was extinguished. Hopeless lives drifted toward the same hopeless tomorrow, supporting the greed of some at the cost of others' misfortune.
As the United Fruit Company's expansion in Latin America continued, the region plunged into an economic depression. Low income workers coalesced into ever larger slums, and the abysmal living standards saw more and more young people turn to gangs. Latin America gradually sank into a quagmire.
Betrayal and Growth
Whenever she allows herself to reminisce, Lopera inevitably returns to that day.
In 1928, a little four-year-old Lopera first heard a sound she would eventually grow all too familiar with. She looked at her parents, at their anxious, strained smiles, and asked the kind of question every child asks.
"Are those fireworks? Is there a celebration?"
As her family traveled across Latin American countries, the days when Lopera heard those fireworks grew more frequent. Strangely enough, her parents would come home with fistfuls of money on those days, their faces always marked with anxiety and unease.
They moved into big houses, with many gifts and food, but Lopera felt increasingly estranged from her parents.
By 1936, at age 12, Lopera joined Zeno and became a soldier.
She experienced care from a "father" and "sister," warmth unlike anything she had felt before, honest familial love.
It wasn't until leaving home that Lopera understood what family truly meant.
The days at Zeno were so gratifying that they masked all her inner confusion. When the day finally arrived when she had to decide her loyalties, she was entirely unprepared.
On Gambling and Disappointment
Pandora Wilson: I must admit, I don't understand what I'm looking at.
Pandora Wilson: A wooden die made to look like any other, but always landing on an exact number. Blatant cheating.
Pandora Wilson: But do you usually show off this trick before inviting others to sit at the gambling table?
Lopera: No, usually, you need to hide everything you've got before you hit the table, because sometimes the stakes are your life.
Lopera: But this isn't one of those times.
Pandora Wilson: Could you share more of your thoughts on gambling?
Lopera: Gambling isn't very different from gunplay, sometimes you can achieve more with the right gamble than you can with a gun. But you always win more when you gamble with a gun—as long as you keep luck on your side.
Lopera: When the stakes are high and your life is riding on the chips, you feel a thrill—whether you've pulled a fast one or got caught red-handed. If you don't know that rush, it's because you've never bet anything worth losing.
Pandora Wilson: I see, I understand that betting on one's life is actually quite common.
Pandora Wilson: If we could move on, could you talk more about your experiences with Zeno?
Lopera: Experiences ... Once, I caused so much havoc it put Zeno into a deficit to pay for the clean up, and another time I was punished for accidentally injuring a comrade ...
Lopera: But nah, I don't really feel like getting into anything that serious. Today is just not one of those days, is it?
Pandora Wilson: Then it seems this is the end of our interview.
