Flesh-Stick: HEY, WEREN’T YOU ONE OF THE 8 MILLION PEOPLE WHO SENT ME LIVE RATS IN THE MAIL?? LIKE I’D TELL YOU MY HIDING SPOT! HMMPH!
OKAY, FINE, IT’S BEHIND THE SOFA. BUT DON’T TELL ANYONE ELSE. THIS IS ALL REAL CONFIDENTIAL AND STUFF.
SOMETIMES I HIDE CANDY AND COMICBOOKS BACK THERE AND MAKE A LITTLE FORT FOR A WHILE. USUALLY CHEERS ME UP AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS.
WHAT WAS THE MOST EMBARRASSING WAY YOU’VE EVER DIED?
Eli Lowe: Ah! Flesh-Stick! I apologize greatly for the confusion, I had no idea that the rats were going to be alive when they reached your lodgings! I sent you an apologetic letter and some assorted chocolates but you declined, which was apropos, all things considered.
The most embarrassing way I have ever died was easily the time I was dared to eat a (thankfully dead) bat in the middle of a shipyard in the Wolfstack Docks. The zailors did not take kindly to it. If only I had known…
A question, if I may?
What is the most vivid nightmare you can recall in the waking world?
Maria: If wy chcecie to see my Koszmar, go to Warszawa. I hope it will be solved soon and I will be able to go to a free Poland. What are your dreams?[li]
Rysiek: There are two. Ich, ich sah jeden bloody man with no Kopf a Frau with no damn skin. The other were bodies everywhere. All naked and on top of each other without hair.
(Hyubert Zlosky)
"Da tui shto? (Switches to English, poorly.)
Whaaa? Where is question? Is dream question? My dream is Sunray
…da…da the fish, not weapon of killing. Not lying, no. Am good man. Yes, am missing pants again more times one. Oh, question from me? How do you integrirovat’…uhh…In-tour-grate…da, integrate to working in Fallen London than what you did from Surface?[/quote]
Maria: Widitie, Я uciec z powierzchni bo ja z rewolucji. And I am serving the Revolution here. First we will free London, then we’ll free Warsaw. Long live the cause! Ну погоди Романов!
Rysiek: I got the job I always wanted. On the Surface I was working in a steel smeltery. But here I solve crimes as the last honest special constable.
[li]
As I was a poet and artist on the surface, I integrated very well into the life of London! The Bohemian community is stronger here than it was in Paris, which surprised me. I don’t think I could have made out so well for myself in any other case.
So! Echoes are hardly the whole of life, but it’s hard to deny they make so much of it easier in the Neath. How easily to they come and go with you?
Eli Lowe: I’m a miser with my money. I stack up a small fortune of money before I put it toward keeping my followers under control, building public housing and keeping rent below an oppressive level. The pittance I’m left with is for personal use.
I should have been an accountant, but then they’d take away my gun.
A question, if I may?
On the subject of firearms, what are your personal opinions on the employ of gunfire in your personal conquests?
Eli Lowe: My current line of work is uniquely suited to me, but the matter of compensation is a little tricky. Perhaps one day, but not until I’ve got a nice pile of rostygold to keep me company.
A question, if I may?
Out of all of the main district of London, (Spite, Veilgarden, Ladybones Road and Watchmaker Hill) which are you most attached to personally?
Flesh-Stick: WATCHMAKER’S HILL 'CAUSE I DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND TO BE CULTURED (IT’S REALLY HARD! I CAN’T EVEN EAT WITHOUT GETTING FOOD IN MY HAIR), I DON’T HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO BE SNEAKY (IT’S REALLY HARD TO DO WHEN YOU HAVE TRIPLE MOHAWKS AND BRIGHT ORANGE PANTS AND 800 TATTOOS AND SCREAM ALL THE TIME) AND I DON’T HAVE TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND INTRICATE PLOTS DESIGNED BY PEOPLE 50 TIMES SMARTER THAN ME. I CAN JUST BE ME-LOUD, STUPID AND VIOLENT, THE WAY GOD INTENDED.
WHY ARE YOU PICKING YOUR NOSE?

Eli Lowe: It owes me money.
A question, if I may?
What are your personal opinions on Prisoner’s Honey, London’s drug of choice since the fall?
That’s an interesting question, for me.
Like most newcomers, I had to give it a try, just to see if all the stories were true. Well, let me tell you, they were all right! The strange, wonderful visions I saw…
Of course, I knew nothing then of their true nature. And, after climbing a bit in the world, and incidentally involving myself in more constructive and charitable pursuits than pure hedonism, my use of it rather tapered off. However, when I began to uncover the mysteries of Parabola, I found it an invaluable tool for my chosen profession.
Not to say I don’t keep a small supply around for personal use, of course! Much like alcohol, a moderate indulgence does no harm.
Question, though: do you have an easy time with observing moderation, or do you pay it any heed at all?
Moderation…
We are removed. All of us, every one of us who isn’t a dilettante Surfacer is removed from such concepts. If we only had the time, three or four generations, to properly grapple with the enormity of our freedoms.
Do what you can for yourself. Shed the antique moralities like a skin and appreciate what you have.
The sky is falling and the earth is cracking. You can save one book. Which is it?
Rather than save a book, I’d save my ink. I’ve many more books than one left to write.
My question: have you ever visited the Iron Republic? If so, what did you think of it? If not, do you plan on it?
I recently charted a course for the Iron Republic, but I was waylaid and ran into a friend instead. I’d have preferred the Republic, but it will be my next destination once I’ve wrapped up things in the Shuttered Palace and the University.
A question, if I may?
What would you say to your worst enemy the moment before they were removed from your path forever?

Rysiek: Probably: You have just made my day. Yours won’t be that pleasant.
Maria: Just "Досвиданя"
Now, what do you like most about London?

Once? the absence of death. But I’ve seen the river, and it holds fear for me no longer, for i still am when i arrive.
Now, I prefer the absence of stars. they may be pretty, but they are petty tyrants glaring down on us mortals at all hours.
Would you rather be a judgement in the current order, or liberate the night?

Oh, definitely the former. I am a fairly petty tyrant myself, and I already spend some of my hours glaring down on mortals (well, spying through a telescope from Flit), so I’m at least somewhat qualified for the position.
Fancy a game of cricket?
Depends if you use Queensberry rules. You know, the ones that allow combat as a legitimate option.
Besides spore hopping and spider fighting, what new sports has one indulged in London?
Eli Lowe: Ah, the social intrique is a sport all in itself! No-one in Vienna cared this much about the little subtleties of life! 'Tis invigorating.
Also, courier chasing is quite lively. Especially across the rooftops. Mind the gap!
A question, if I may?
I know that many here prefer to go by their surface names, which is admirable, but if you could pick a name in the London format (Adjective - Noun) what would you pick?

Maria smiles Possibly the revolutionary thief. Do you find something fitting better?
Rysiek Well, I am the last detective. Like my mentor, who was the last constable. Would you like to play football with me? We just need 20 more people.
Eli Lowe: Maria! I would never place you for a revolutionary thief! I recently introduced you to my friends as The Innocent Law-Abider! tips hat to the three Constables standing at the street corner. Afternoon, gentlemen.
