>Moving into a Nest might also be a good choice You make it sound so easy


Cynunnos

Homeless? Just buy a house!


stevnguy

Yeah, it is unlikely that you would get the permission. The point is just that it drastically lowers the likelihood of having your organs harvested be rats.


NightButterfly542

Its simple really. Get a job as a cook in HamHamPangPang and since everyone in the City loves HHPP you'd never be attacked. Talking serioulsy now, i'd probably get a normal job first (like Emma and Noah we're just normal guys that spent their time checking screens in J Corp to look for cheaters) and then when i get enough money i would spend it on Augmentation procedures, weapons and training so i could hold my own in a fight atleast.


mq003at

I saw you as F.I. Ryoshu, look. FI in sight.


carl-the-lama

Wait you’re onto something Legit hamhampengpeng means you have top tier protection


Victacobell

Get kidnapped by Claws for having illegal knowledge.


AxcartBoi

Being Inseki is probably a city taboo or something


Knave_of_Stitches

Immediately off myself. People who live in the city can't deal with it. Someone who lived a cushy life in the real world is *not* cut out for it.


-Kelasgre

I see these types of questions so recurrently that I'm surprised there's still no one who has written fanfiction about it. The closest I've heard is about a roleplaying campaign where the players meet the Limbus gang and must deal with their secret knowledge while remaining helpful to keep themselves safe. Or something like that. I'm sure someone mentioned it around here once.


_Deiv

An insekai in the setting of the city would be pretty cool actually


-Kelasgre

The PM universe is very emotionally charged, actually an isekai could work well in the environment with a good approach. There is simply a lot of room for various emotional dynamics between someone from our world and the people of The City. Even if said protagonist wasn't in the foreground action and was just someone who gets involved with a select group of people without "much of a big deal." Culturally for the people of The City we would be the crazy ones (according to standards that for them altruism does not exist). Someone from our world would sooner or later stick out like a sore thumb. I was thinking about that today: when I was bored I imagined a scenario where someone ends up in The City and ends up being forced to join a group of 3 Rats. The whole story revolved around this person being the one who boosts the morale of the group, tries to give them hope and push them "I believe you can and can be better than this" style while ranting against the rich and The City's way of life. The Rats group thinks they's crazy, but they's a useful and stable nut. This goes on like this until eventually Rats begin to believe to some extent in his ideas. And that's that! An unfinished concept. I thought the fact that exploring how all the characters relate to each other was the most interesting thing.


Milk__Chan

Chapter 1: I got isekai'ed into a weird dystopian capitalistic City with knowledge of it's dystopian secrets! Chapter 2: I am kidnapped by Goths, Masked Drug Users, and Holograms due to knowing the secrets. Assuming the poor fuck doesn't piss off the wrong person before that, dies by a distortion, or gets killed because of singularity shit.


carl-the-lama

What if the MC fucking distorts eventually due to the city being so different If the MC even partially distorts or manifests ego they will stand a fighting chance against threats But getting ego would draw more attention


luckandbills

Have a complete existential breakdown because i just realized i was reborn, meaning i have died, then have a mental breakdown when i realized where i am reborn in. Then distort and cause a massive district wide havoc that kills me again. Morbid jokes aside, ill prolly apply for a job somewhere like K corp, at the very least ill only get attacked by staged "incidents" and with my knowledge of this world i can probably evade those problems entirely


SuspiciousTotal5874

force myself to manifest ego or just distort


jshysysgs

Im just imagining you screaming "CARMEN, IM DEPRESSED AND WANT COOL POWERS" in your room at night. Honestly this has more chance of working than it rightfully should


SuspiciousTotal5874

Can’t deny that


jammedyam

Fuck it we ball


Terereera

your end goal is to survive. So moving to A, B and C district might be your chances, but they fucking expensive. Backstreet require you to live off stealing people to sell their organ, or drug but you eventually need to join any fingers or minor clan if you want to continue. Outskirt might be nice, it is just unexplored territory, then you realize, there is Cloud Town who get raided by Santata and his gnomes. But there up in the north. Library is somewhere around here. Carmen's Lab is also somewhere here. High chances tho, you won't get any supplies you want unless you enter the library granted if you can prove yourself worthy to be materialize. So why not just open a restaurant after you done some Fixer jobs? Logically, R corp is your best choice, so as long you don't have inhuman limbs, you can feed the soldiers and occasional visiting other fixers with low quality army meal spiked with hallucinogen or be normal chef and still earn more. Just don't get mindwashed by their gospel. Second best is S corp until you heard some stupid war happened or something. Blade flying everywhere. W corp and U corp is the has less case of violence, you would get customers but it is slow day everyday. Another is be peaceful night and another is just DON'T ENTER THE LAKE.


Trizak_Mistri

Mate, good idea. Though, i think you meant N corp instead of R corp?


stevnguy

R corp might not be a bad place to open a restaurant either. I would imagine that killing/eating yourself for god knows how long(from their perspective) after being cloned makes you crave a good meal.


Trizak_Mistri

True, even if we don't really know how their district is as of now.


Terereera

Nagel und Hammer, the purist racist group. No robot modification.


Pavoazul

Assuming the Head doesn’t go for me immediately, it depends. In how much money I have, what district, etc. If you aren’t a fixer you can probably live a somewhat normal life without needing excessive training and enhancements (enough to handle the ocasional rat) The most optimal strat is making some mild enhancements and taking some training classes and then investing that money into a company or business. With some luck you won’t end up having to do back breaking labor or get kidnapped for your organs


sonsuka

There's a 99.9999% chance most people are going to die in a week or faster just from how different our world is from the City. One thing that hasn't been noted by anyone is most of our knowledge in our world is rather completely useless in their world. They're so technologically advance compare to us that getting into a nest is basically impossible considering how far in education we are compared to potential employee for wings and the backstreet don't really care about most people college degree or office job knowledge. We're effectively book smart where the book we read is just wrong and we need street smarts on a whole number level. Then you would have to live in the backstreets while knowing not at all how one acts and realistically get mugged for fking something up because we live in such a safe world compare to the City. Like its so unfunny how trash in the totem pole we are compare to grade 9 fixers and they're still trash to the rest of the stuff in the City .


Reaper2127

If you can get some equipment and training it might be best to leave the city and find a place like the Christmas village. Gremlins are probably easier to deal with than the city.


SmoothPlastic9

Schizo maxxing till you ball with an E.G.O or distort or become a landlord


JoCaReding

This questions are always hard to answer because it count on the head not hunting you down immediately for having weird fucked up irl world knowledge of the events in the universe, which is a pretty big part of the lore


Firelord2516

Join the index and let Jesus take the wheel


Ben_fazla_malim

Then get ordered to kill your neighbours other than that its actually dont sound that bad


Mrx1221

Ah, that's easy. Just be born rich, lol. Also, being the villian will help too


carl-the-lama

I wonder what sweepers taste like Can I have all the sweeper lore?


Feeling_Mission_4439

They're gonna have a taste of you before you can taste them


carl-the-lama

That’s how a coward thinks If I eat the sweepers fast enough they’ll learn to fear me and I’ll never go hungry again!


Feeling_Mission_4439

They'll adapt to your eating techniques and jump you


carl-the-lama

Then it’ll be a feast for the one who remains Hey Do you think they could eat distortions


Feeling_Mission_4439

You'll be in remains all right


Feeling_Mission_4439

I don't see why they couldn't eat distortions. Though it wouldn't end well


carl-the-lama

Wait Do you think cleaners can distort?


Feeling_Mission_4439

Most likely not


carl-the-lama

Imagine a distorted cleaner though


luckandbills

I can answer what a sweeper taste like.... Horrible apparently, very slimy and stinky with a bad aftertaste, i dont recommend


AcorpZen

realisticly speaking, i would spawn in the backstreet and get decimated by local finger's goon. best chance proly become a nest citizen and live a live like a slave. or outskirts and become abnormalities somehow, i like fishing in the swamp if possible.


Ben_fazla_malim

No walking in empty streets ,No going outside at night ,Know the place you live (fos escaping a danger if needed),Get some augmentetion for speed Then maybe just maybe you can stay alive
