Keep ta docks, mostly goin’ from pub ta pub. Boys usually hit hard but they have great tales and it’s a good way ta spend ta time.
Goin’ ta pass this question along ta the next bloke. Could be interestin’ ta 'ear different versions.
I should seek out my lovers in hopes that one should be free that night.
I, like Miss Syrus will choose to pass the question along. I also am Curious, to see what other people answer.

My choice would be the same as Absimiliards, and given the state of my current lodgings that would be preferable in any case.
But it is cheating a bit, for when would the arms of a lover not be considered home, even if it’s only for a night?
Passing on the question like before.

In my early days amid Bohemians and scoundrels, I have found that the alleys of Veilgarden can provide a quaint sort of hospitality. And the remedies they can offer! Smokes for your aches, spirits strong enough to chase your nightmares away for an evening. I should like to revisit that. In a restless night, I would seek for a honey-den and collapse into a velvet-cushioned chaise longue.
Which menace-related location (the Royal Beth, Venderbight, the Boatman’s realm, New Newgate) would you choose as your permanent residence, should you only have these options?

The Royal Bethlehem Hotel is already occupied by several individuals (most of them insane, but still), and a good company is essential for any lodging.
Question: What is your current hobby(looking at dangerous sigils, beating up dangerous people, stealing from the abovementioned and flirting with them too don’t count)?
Kinda bitin’ my hykey and spittin’ ta ground wiff tha. Fightings what I kno and fightings how ya get ta kno someone wiffout words. Fairly simple and easy ta do. But if’n ya want somefing more than tha fine.
Tend ta do a few tricks fer crowds in da streets. Simple fings I learned from da surface. Sometimes I let ta boys use it as a way ta pinch a few pockets while thar eyes are on me. But when its naught ta streets I’ll pull a pence out and practice when I can. Good fer passin’ ta time too.
Outta all ta places in ta Neath, which one ya favor ta most?
I spend a good few years on the Hills. A man could live a simple life there, hunting, solving problems for other people. Just watch out for press gangs, and even these are fading away.
What’s the place in London you hate most?

"I don’t like to pass through Spite. The air is unclean."
If you could add any feature to the city (electric lights, better transportation, better landscaping, a statue in your honor) what would you choose?
Now that you’ve suggested it, I certainly do have a use for those electric lights! They’re easy to assemble with the right sort of technological innovation, and even easier to disable should a central power room be located in any area I happen to burgle.
How much incentive would you need to permanently kill someone in the Neath?
Ezekiel: None. Have plan to kill every skin-suit that this one meets. Please tell, have any allergies?
Eli: I don’t like to permanently end lives, which is ironic because it was my former profession and I’ve killed more people than I can recall. If someone threatens my people, they will regret it. If they touch my people, they will never hurt anyone ever again.
You are walking down an uninteresting side street when you suddenly notice a Shop of Curiosities that you’d never noticed before. What is in the store window that convinces you to enter?
Dirae Erinyes: “A treasure map. Even though it was probably not made by pirates.”
Evensong: “A fire lance. Now that would be something to see.”
What store would you never enter?
Flesh-Stick: A TEA SHOP!
PRISONER’S HONEY OR GAOLER’S HONEY?

PRISONER’S HONEY OR GAOLER’S HONEY?[/quote]
Now that is a delightful question to answer. BOTH!
If you had to fight any single individual in London, one-on-one, who would you choose?
If I had to fight any one individual I’d fight the Cheery Man. His brutality is known to all Londoners. Spread the word to everyone and they’ll practically be throwing pennies at us as they watch us fight. I hardly fancy my chances, but I’m sure it’ll be good fun and I might get a favour or two after I come back to life.
Actually wait a minute, I don’t want him to kill me. I’ll have to ask him to go easy.
A stroke of good fortune! The Manager of the Royal Bethlehem is on holiday, and you’ve somehow stumbled upon an absurd amount of laudanum. You want to convince all the crazy at the Royal Beth to take it, so how will you advertise your laudanum? And what’s your slogan?
"’The crazy.’ Indeed.
I don’t see why I’d do that. Sorry to be a poor sport, but laudanum is nasty stuff, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone."
If you could start a business from the ground up, what sort of business would it be?
If I was asked this before, I would respond with what I already have - ‘Euphemia’ - A shop for tales and observations. But, now that the delightful business exists, Clockwork is a matter I would certainly like to explore. Something cheaper than the ratmade stuff, perhaps, or more beautiful.
If you could create a new colour with a strange property, a la Violant and Gant, what would it be?
"Thinking of a name for it is beyond my creative powers right now. But it would be the color of steadfast hope, moored in certainty. It would be the color of light."
It’s a fun question, so I’ll pass it on for someone else.
“Hethersprite. A blue that has the same qualities of blue that fresh butter has for yellow. This light buttery blue brings a warmly relaxed feeling, calm and content. Walking around in a cloak of it is akin to stopping for every single person who sees you and giving them a drink of hot cocoa and a cute fluffy animal to pet.”
An answer? Without a question?
UNTHINKABLE!
“…Too much hethersprite, not enough concentration. Ahem.”
“If you were transformed, thanks to your sympathies or actions, into some other form of the Neath’s sapient life, what would it be?”
