Description summary:
The description varies based on the level of 
Tracklayers' Displeasure.
| Displeasure | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | If anything, the citizens seem calmer here than in the centre of London. Is that reasonable? Should they be so calm? Is something pacifying them, against their nature? |
| 1 | If anything, the citizens seem calmer here than in the centre of London. Is that reasonable? Should they be so calm? Is something pacifying them, against their nature? ...No, someone has just picked a pocket. |
| 2 | You watch them. They watch you back. Once, when you're crossing the street, you hear someone behind you say, "Landlord." It doesn't sound affectionate. |
| 3 | There is graffiti [...] "Down with the GHR." [...] "Keep the Devils out of our business." "Burn the Landlords." And then drawings, sometimes obscene stuff about the Masters, sometimes more cryptic business. You see those drawings [...] whenever you try to sleep. |
| 4 | There is an attitude of open hostility [...] placards and billboards [...] have been defaced with dirty pictures and a Correspondence symbol meaning "Defeat of an Unworthy Adversary."
A woman on the corner is begging for coin. She stares at you [...] |
| 5 | Protestors have gathered in the centre of town. Someone is burning a heap of Hinterland Scrip in a barrel. Pale saffron smoke curls into the air. |
| 6 | Two protestors have chained themselves to the city gates, while a third is giving a speech – all about the greed of London. "The Lords are no different from Masters, now," [...] They are roaring dreadfully by the time you turn into a side street. |
| 7+ | This was a protest. It has become something closer to a riot. The population wants to be rid of London companies. They want this very much, and they are communicating their opinions in vocabulary even you had forgotten. |
