This is very peculiar.

You would expect that...

[There is a pause here]

...you would expect that...

[And another pause]

Blast, I've forgotten the word.

Ah!

You would expect that the habit would not be as engrossing as...

[There is music in the background suddenly. It's jazzy]

This music is-

Barkeep! Another!

As entertaining as that was, I certainly doubt that having someone almost manage to kill you is far more thrilling when it happens in the penny dreadfuls than when it proposes to happen in real life. I never imagined that actually going to the Palace would become a life-or-death mission.

Funny how each time...And so after that, is anyone willing ( Read more... )

This place has an odd preoccupation with sheep that I don't think I'm entirely comfortable with. I'm almost sure that even in Northumberland or Scotland they're not quite this obsessed with the animals.

[This continues for a couple of minutes more, and then the transmission cuts out]

What an odd curse. I couldn't determine if it was attractiveness that people seemed to be drawn to or intelligence or...other qualities. That and most of you sounded like society gossips, although then there would be someone, doubtless, muttering about the quality of youth and the corrupt moral values of the time ( Read more... )

This is certainly much more exciting than I could have imagined. Last time this came about I was only here for a small time, and I wasn't used to it yet ( Read more... )

Living in this City is not as bad as some would claim. After all, some lucky people are poised to get married, those who would never have met had they not arrived in this place. And is there anything good that cannot be said about such a happy and joyous event? Matrimony is truly a gift that should be appreciated.

Except that it is, truly, the ( Read more... )

I'm sure everyone is enjoying their weekend.

I certainly am.
