Eli: I would dismount the brass knocker on my door and imbue it with life. Maybe then people will LEAVE ME ALONE WHEN I’M TRYING TO GET SOMETHING DONE. It’s harder to use a knocker when it yelps in pain.
Question: What’s your solution when someone is impolite to you?
A judicious application of pain and fear, repeated as necessary.
(Unless the offender in question is one of the Masters or my Constant Companion, in which case the solution is "head off to the nearest honey-den and try to forget").
There is a certain green-eyed statue of a young woman buried somewhere in the Clay Tunnels. And if you check this deed, prepared and witnessed by none other than Baseborn and Fowlingpiece, you’ll find out that it’s, in fact, an item that I own as of today. That’s the one.
What do you think of the Implacable Detective and her methods?

Eli: Ah, The Implacable Method is the keenest and most advanced way of catching criminals. For that reason, I have only the deepest respect for her and I hope that she will reciprocate this respect when I attempt to have her killed. Absolutely diamond lady, that one. Salt of the earth.
Don’t write any of that down.
Question: Do you believe that there should be repercussions for the numerous public executions of Rubbery Men during outbreaks of mob hysteria?

Not only should there be … there are! Allegedly. Or so I am told. Not that I know anything about how the leader of last week’s anti-Rubbery riot was accidentally eaten by Marsh Wolves.
Would you date a Rubbery Man/Woman/Other?

Eli Lowe: I’d just let her take the lead and roll with it. They seem like genuine sweethearts.
Question: Have you ever considered Zee faring?

I have. I’ve even done it. Although I much prefer London with all its people and salons and poetry and plays and shadows and vices and lack of giant monsters that will swallow you up in no-time flat (the monsters in London consume us much more slowly).
Who would you feed to Marsh Wolves if you could? Not that I’m offering that opportunity.

The whole Ministry of Public Decency! Those killjoys have prevented my last three poetry collections from being published! Apparently, they were "libelous and seditious"? Pfff, so what? What do they know about art?
Have you ever seen a rabbit in the Neath? Or a hare? Where are they? I would so love a pet rabbit… with a waistcoat, and a pocket-watch. ;)

Sadly no. I think the foxes must have eaten them all ;)
Could I dare you to steal a Constable’s helmet?
Yes! I’ll send it the Drones later or trade it for a silver cow creamer.
Where would you look for a present for your beloved?

Your question cuts straight to the heart! The Feast is approaching, and the date I first met my beloved and his spouse. One of my beloveds. We live complex lives. I think I should get him a stickpin for his cravat – he is always so fashionably dressed.
All right, then, let me ask you. What should I get for my beloved?
An outfit crafted of the finest Strange-Shore Parabola fabric. Whether a dress, a suit, or some kind of fashionable poncho, that’s entirely at your discretion. One must always apply ones own preferences when deciding upon fashion choices, whether they be conventional or otherwise!
A question: The segment of our population who have, one way or another, found themselves missing a soul - are they a blessing or a blight upon our fair city?

Maria: Well, depends what you get in exchange, it might be a blessing. If you are female, would you be interested to visit me?
Rysiek: I don’t know. I think it is a damn curse for 'em. My Landlord was depressed constantly. So, allow me to ask, ignoring Warszawianka, what is your weapon of choice?

Nine times out of ten, that would be knives. The tenth time, I’d be having another polite disagreement with Jasper and Frank on matters of urban architecture and design*, and therefore would opt for dynamite and industrial drills.
In a pit fight between the Calendar Council and twelve spider-councils, who would you bet on?
The calendar Council: there’s a reason why even monster hunters don’t hunt them.
What/who are the worst monsters in London?
I don’t know if jack counts because there is technically no proof he exists, but if he does, he is certainly the worst. He may be easy to eliminate, but unlike the worst monsters, jack of smiles cannot be permanently killed. Sure, one could incapacitate him by blinding it’s current form with the bejeweled cane and then quickly shooting him with a rifle, but he’ll always be back and angrier than ever. (Do try the cane thing. Works every time)
What was the easiest fight you ever fought?
edited by GamerGallade on 1/28/2016
Eli Lowe: I was fighting a tomb-colonist who decided to take up a “life” of swordplay, despite being sedentary his entire existence. Once he challenged me, I simply waited until he decomposed to the point of complete helplessness and then swept him into a sewer grate.
It didn’t take as long as one might imagine. I never heard back from him, but I can safely say that I won the duel.
A question, if I may?
Would you rather be found guilty of a sin of cruelty or mercy?
Of mercy, naturally. I am never cruel without a good reason…
What are you most afraid of?
Drowning. Sorrow-spiders too, but mostly drowning.
Is there something the Constables must never find out about you? ;)
Eli Lowe: If they know that I exist, then they already know far too much. Beyond that, I wouldn’t care to record it here. You understand, I’m quite sure.
When things go wrong and you need some time alone, where do you run to?
