Hubert's Perfectly Normal Day.

> [BEGIN] Proceed onward.

You proceed onward to BREAKFAST.

Throughout BREAKFAST, you will need to keep an eye on your remaining time and also your stats. These stats will also be logged in detail within your MIND WASTELAND.

• [ST] Stress Tolerance - Your ability to withstand stressful situations. It is affected by time pressure, your available Social Energy, and how hungry you are. If your Stress Tolerance gets too low, you will become pissy.
• [SE] Social Energy - Your willingness to engage with others socially. Pleasant and brief interactions will boost your social meter, while tedious conversations will wear you out and affect your Stress Tolerance.
• [HR] Hunger - Fill your Hunger meter by eating viable snacks. A low Hunger meter will negatively impact your Stress Tolerance and Social Energy. There may be consequences for the rest of your day should you leave the DINING HALL while still hungry.

Items and interactions can grant you temporary status effects. Currently, you are Contemplating Murder, which boosts your Stress Tolerance [ST] and resistance to stress. However, you are also Ravenous, which lowers your Stress Tolerance [ST] and Social Energy [SE].

Actions taken during BREAKFAST may impact one or more of your stats. The effects will not always be noted at the time the action is taken. Effects may be multiplied as you get closer to your 9 AM meeting with your ASSASSINS.

While you would like to have access to such detailed information on FERDINAND, you are only capable of knowing these things for yourself. As it is, the man has a very high Stress Tolerance and a seemingly inexhaustible amount of Social Energy. (If only you had also taken the Extrovert perk on your 20th birthday… alas, your circumstances required you to take Advanced Scheming and Insomnia instead.) So long as FERDINAND is fed, you need not waste much consideration on his well-being throughout this meal.
