having multiple characters in fallen london is great for a lot of reasons, such as being able to try all options and see all results. it's also great when i'm presented with an option where the bold warning text says 'this will kill you' or 'you will die' because then i get to look down at all my guys with love in my heart and be like which of you little bastards am i going to yeet into an angry mob of tigers to get mauled to death today

Title: The Geriatric Geodian
Name: Graham
Age: ???
Occupation: New Sequencer (Probably... no one's ever seen him do any actual work)
Main Skills: Dreaded, Persuasive
Main Quirks: Ruthless, Heartless
-Nobody knows how long Graham has been on Grand Geode. He's simply always been there.
-Most Dreaded Man in Zelo's Town. Not because he's scary, but because he's absolutely exhausting and unpleasant to deal with.
-Has been around for seemingly every historical event, and always has the most rank take on it.
-Not even dawnpilled, just believes in the Dawn Machine's goals.
-Spends his days sitting on his porch in Zelo's Town and judging you personally.
-Once had a companion, who's since moved on to the Tomb Colonies. If you try to express sympathy at his loss he'll call you a sentimental ninny and hobble off. His companion is probably wreaking equal havoc in the Tomb Colonies.
-Has personally victimised each and every sequencer on Grand Geode at least once. (stories welcome)
Graham has been Roberts' nemesis on the Geode since the 70s. Roberts enters every encounter swearing he'll put the old man in his place. He usually ends up apologising and assuring him that of course he'll ensure that the zailors stay off of his lawn in the future. He then spends the next several hours after the encounter kicking himself for it. He's personally repaired Graham's roof at least twice. He tried to suggest delegating this task to another officer, but was immediately insulted and told "not to faff about and get up on that ladder." Roberts was utterly furious after the fact that he actually did it.

ok but the almost elegiac way so long london opens with the choir, only to have the synth beat come in suddenly like she wakes up finally, shoots up from the coffin, alive again and her heart starting up again suddenly after languishing in a quiet slow death for so long. pumping at the beat and pace of someone running, adrenaline pumping, getting as far away as fast as they can. steady and strong and it drops out only once for the rest of the song, during the second bridge when she says "i died on the alter waiting for the proof, you sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days." her heartbeat dead again as we flash back to that death and her still and silent heart. only to fire up again as we are back in the present with her, heart pumping that color back into her face, beating madly again with vitality and emotion and the first thing she feels is anger. like are you hearing this shit like!??!!? GOD

Always lowkey simmering a Leverage AU in the back of my head hear me out:
Ted is an ex-insurance investigator who was able to get his son life-saving medical treatment because his first, original Crime Pal Beard was like ‘Ted if your company doesn’t come through with the coverage, we’re doing things my way.’
The company did not come through. The company did let him go due to suspicion of Ted’s involvement in the incident, but Ted will happily remind folks that no charges were formally pressed. Henry is alive and healthy and living with Michelle, who divorced Ted shortly thereafter (not just because of pre-existing marital problems, but because Ted wouldn’t tell her anything about why the doctors “””suddenly decided to do the procedure for free”””). Shortly thereafter, Ted fled the country.
What Ted learned from the whole experience is that there’s a lot of people out there, good people just trying to live by the rules, but sometimes things happen that are just out of their control. And well- if we’ve got the means to help the good people out when no one else will, then shouldn’t we try?
“We’ve got means,” Beard agrees. “And motives.”
They do things Beard’s way now.

i have now accidentally stumbled into two fandoms wherein the german characters who speak german are living out their stories in what is actually england and the characters themselves are presented as english but literally everything going on besides the setting is german coded.
it took me so long to work out for certain that yes, that is in fact london in the background, this is not taking place in berlin asfkljdf
