==General==
{{IL|Someone Is Coming}} is a mechanic that is used throughout the game. 1 CP Progress is gained on many different cards, and once you've reached Level 4 (10 CP), [[A Gift from the Capering Relicker|someone will finally arrive]]. Alternatively, it may be cashed in on the [[Rob a drunk]] storylet in {{IL|Spite}}. This means that a normal reward takes 11 actions, and robbing a drunk takes 7 actions.

==Payouts==
There are various payouts that can be acquired, and while you start with only one, as you progress in the game, you'll be able to collect different payouts later. The later payouts are typically more valuable than earlier ones. Everything done through the card will reset Somone is Coming, so if you have excess for whatever reason, it would be best to cash out through robbing [[A furious and incoherent drunken rat]] before you play the card.

A table of payouts is shown below:
