February 16th-March 2nd — Protestors flood the streets of Venice, enraged at the passivity of politicians in the face of the worsening climate crisis.

March 10th — Rumours begin circulating of a revolutionary group being founded. Nobody takes them seriously as their main base is Reddit.

April 3rd — Taking advantage of public disbelief in their cause, Raviolution successfully assassinates Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson. The event is later named the Rotten Pumpkin Incident.

April 6th — Kevin Johnson’s right-hand woman and Starbucks COO Rosalind Brewer is arrested as a murder suspect. She pleads guilty in court.

April 7th — Raviolution leader and daughter of the Italian President Laura Mattarella organises a jailbreak to free Brewer. It succeeds and the two seek refuge in Amsterdam, whose population was inspired by Venetian protests and began their own revolts.
