Success

Desolate territory

Southwark proposes an especially liturgical route to Hell, one in which the Tracklayers will be accompanied by prayers and thuribles, a Hound of Heaven and a host of acolytes in white vestments.

Description summary:
The text above is preceded by another paragraph if the Efficient Commissioner is on the board. Several other board members also offer additional comments.

Board MemberRemark
Board Member: The Efficient Commissioner Efficient CommissionerAs the proposal begins, everyone looks to the Efficient Commissioner – some dreading, others rather looking forward to a hysterical interruption […] None comes. She does not speak. […] her eyes are circled in darkness: she cannot be sleeping well.
Board Member: The Bishop of Saint Fiacre's Bishop of Saint Fiacre'sThe Bishop of Saint Fiacre's supplements the plan with suggested readings and a few well-chosen hymns.
Board Member: The Dean of Xenotheology Dean of XenotheologyThe more pedantic the discussion, the more engaged the Dean […] "If the Treachery of Clocks is as active as we fear, then the question of liturgical season is increasingly vexed; we should be prepared to encounter anything from Advent to Candlemas..."
Board Member: The Hell-Scarred Gondolier Hell-Scarred Gondolier"Folly," says the Hell-Scarred Gondolier, at several points. And: "It will only get worse when we get to the Hurlers."
Board Member: The Delightful Reverend Delightful ReverendThe Delightful Reverend listens […], but towards the end […], she […] cannot restrain herself any longer. She proposes several amendments to the selection […]. The rest […] might regard these as trivialities, but the Bishop of Southwark reacts with […] explosive bluster […].
Charter of the Great Hellbound Railway CharterLast Paragraph
ChurchThe Board Secretary notes everything in a shorthand that never stumbles, […]. Afterwards he confides to you that he did a bit of reading up. "Once we'd voted in a Church Charter, I could see I'd be needing a bit of the language."
