So, given certain revelations during the Feast of Masks regarding the eventual fate of the citizens of a fallen city, suddenly selling souls to the Devils doesn't seem quite as bad as it did before.
In some lights it may even be the most moral thing to do, unless there's one of us out there with a wine-cellar big enough to store six million stolen souls or so.
Thoughts? Opinions? Smugness that you already sold your own soul into a measure of safety?

... I think I missed this knowledge. I have no idea what you're talking about. :-(

Perhaps the placebo effect is stronger than we could ever have imagined.

Maybe a normal citizen would not notice. But, I mean, my character is well Connected. Urchins, Criminals. I spend time in Spite, I visit the Flit. Most of the low level content involves spending time among the poor and robbing the rich blind. If mass disappearances were a big theme for the game, it would be strange we did not notice it.
Of course it's my interpretation. I could be wrong.

I think the main problem with that line of reasoning is that in Spite people disappear ALL THE TIME. It would probably take a careful investigation to notice that some of the daily disappearance cannot be blamed on killers, hunger, illnesses, hangings and all of the usual "little problems" of London's poorer denizens.

You know, I even READ that description, but somehow I forgot the mention of lacre O_o Well well, but nobody thought that the Fall of London would have been pleasant; at the very least, that would involve much destruction and mayhem. About me, I always chose the options that seemed to help postpone the Fall as much as possible, few as they may be - like, siding with Mr. Fires (Fires! Possibly the most cruel and merciless of all Masters, except perhaps Irons? Well actually, I don't think even Irons ever participated in something so utterly terrifying as the Orphanage -.-) in the Affair of the Box, and choosing a Gleam destiny.
Also: is there a relation between lacre and Tears of the Bazaar?
I believe, from my Parabolic dealings, that [spoiler]lacre is the base material for Tears, processed through the passions of the Bazaar.[/spoiler]
