A raucous evening
The night goes late and the stories go long. There are plenty [...] these days that aren't Tracklayers and never were, but the tracklaying stories are city folklore. These days the
[Site newcomers] can tell them just as well as anyone who actually worked the line.
Description summary:
The identity of the newcomers varies based on the city's
Chosen Site, while the second paragraph varies based on the
Route Taken to Evenlode.
| Newcomers | |
|---|---|
| Ealing | Rubbery newcomers |
| Evenlode | ex-prisoners |
| Balmoral | retired highwaymen and former servants in the royal household |
| Station VIII | former factory workers |
| Burrow | retired laity from the Church of the Wild |
| Moulin | befuddled historians |
| Marigold | yellow-eyed exiles of Hell |
| Second Paragraph | |
|---|---|
| 3 - 5 | Tonight's subject is the condition of a near-corpse when it's been got at by Thirsty Grasses. ("If you want to bring 'em back [...], you've got to put 'em in a hot bath and steep 'em like tea. And good luck drawing a [...] bath in the middle of the Hinterland.") |
| 6 | Tonight they are talking about the old battlefields around Moulin, and the ease of slipping on the muck and falling into someone else's memory, and the acrid scent of Law-Furnace getting into your clothes even though there's none anywhere in sight. |
