Imagining Two Different Mornings

Anne Auclair Posts: 2215 7/7/2017	Let’s imagine for a moment what London would be like the day after the election. If the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner Wins… The Brass Embassy subdued and chastened. The Presbyterate thwarted. London safe and sovereign under the Mayorship of a true citizen. Sinning Jenny vindicated, her legacy secure. The city government recommitted in its efforts to fight social and economic injustice. Jeremy the Rubbery Man appointed assistant Mayor. New help promised for London’s many honey addicts and alcoholics. Clay and Rubbery Londoners given new rights and protections. The Masters inconvenienced, their hold on London weakened. New regulations for the establishments of Wines and Spices. New workers’ rights legislated for the factories and sweet shops owned by Irons, Fires, and Veils. The Calendar Council humiliated, John Cassell triumphant from the grave, and moderate Revolutionaries like the Contrarian strengthened. The Regretful Soldier overjoyed at the defeat of his former tormentor. If Feducci Wins… The Brass Embassy radiant and celebratory. The Presbyterate triumphant. London governed by a foreign agent controlled from the Southern Continent and Hell. Sinning Jenny a failure, her legacy in ruins. The city administration paralyzed by the impossible task of putting Feducci’s poorly thought-out and contradictory ideas into effect. The Indulgent Devil appointed assistant Mayor. No help for London’s many honey addicts and alcoholics. Clay and Rubbery Londoners ignored and left to fend for themselves. The Masters happy and secure, their hold on London stronger than ever. Fewer regulations for the establishments of Wines and Spices. No new protections for workers in the factories and sweatshops of Irons, Fires, and Veils. The Calendar Council overjoyed, the Liberation hardliners in full control, and its moderates marginalized. The Regretful Soldier broken and humiliated by the public honors given over to his former tormentor. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Anne%20Auclair

The Brass Embassy is so perplexed that they pack up and go home. Feducci is put to use battling the enemies of our fair city, as he deserves. The Dauntless Temperance Campaigner is rather put out by the sudden influx of amber into the market, but she makes do. The Detective has horrible flashbacks of the Rubbery Murders. All in all, things are basically okay! -- Gideon Stormstrider, the Esoteric Gadgeteer Jimmy T. Malice, gone. A Tale of Two Suns - Meeting Your Maker - A Squid in the Polls

But what was she doing in a bar frequented by the soul-less anyway? I didn't even realise DTC is the lady who hit me with a shoe back when I was down on luck. Just another reason not to vote for her.

You don't actually need constables and courts for any of those things. You can take action through public pressure and administrative action. I think there are enough temperance campaigners in the city for the Dauntless Campaigner to find a loyal and dedicated staff of municipal investigators and enforcers. Jenny created the Department of Public Works after all and staffed it with her Bazaarine friends. What's to stop the DTC from creating the Department of Social Welfare and staffing it with her former comrades? So you're saying the DTC intends to deputizes a empower zealous, unknown fringe elements with the power to prosecute London citizens under her name? People already think the police have to much power, and you're here championing the creation of DTC Special Constables. She herself has a history of personally beating drunks, so it makes sense. Wow, your vision of a Temperate utopia is actually worse than even I feared it would be. You even suggest she'd bypass judicial process!

Sara Hysaro Moderator Posts: 4514 7/8/2017	I do wonder what the in-universe explanation is for why Feducci doesn't permanently kill you. Maybe witnessing your skill in previous fights makes him consider you potentially useful for some future goal of his? Even if he doesn't have an immediate role for you planned out at the time he might be hesitant to kill you off permanently just in case. It wouldn't really surprise me if his whole Society is just a scouting operation for some personal goal of his that requires a group of sufficiently skilled fighters. Becoming mayor could also play into that, whether it's just for profits, connections, or specific information. This is just my on the fly personal conjecture, though. Take it with a grain of salt - I don't have any significant evidence to back it up. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Sara%20Hysaro Please do not send SMEN, cat boxes, or Affluent Reporter requests.

I think that's just Fallen London being funny in its usual over the top manner ^_^ Like, you've hit rock bottom and now a lady is hitting you with a shoe. But I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong with her defending herself when spooked. Also, in a world where people can come back from a slashed throat, is a shoe really much of a weapon? :P btw, the fact that she has a shoe so readily in hand makes me wonder if she carries a shoe around in her purse for emergencies... I mean, did she stop to take her shoe off and then start hitting you? Doesn't sound like it. . edited by Anne Auclair on 7/7/2017 -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Anne%20Auclair
