The day had arrived where my name fell in with the other Tribes for Sewer Inspector. My excitement overflowed as my time was nearly at hand, the job I had dreamed about was a dice roll away! The dice were dropped and the world went silent as a name was selected....

The name chosen that day was not mine. It went to a man from Cloaca, John Septix Crapopolous.... Shit.
