Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Simplicissimus / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: At the beginning, our protagonist plays on his bagpipe (yes, they existed not only in Scotland), which some marauding soldiers hear; they attack the poor house of his father, rape and torture the people, and steal and destroy everything. He barely escapes unscathed. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" | |
| Simplicissimus / int_d7b34c31 | comment |
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Simplicius doesn't know his own name, or whether he has one, because his parents always call him "Bub" (boy). He also doesn't know the real names of his parents; in fact, he doesn't even know the standard German words for "father" and "mother", because he only speaks the local dialect. | |
