Success

A story told

The Tracklayer's Daughter tells her story. Her father went to work on the GHR line and left her to live in London […]

Then suddenly the line was done and her father sent for her […]

The Relicker's rat Parvus transcribes the tale in a diminutive notebook. […]

Description summary:
The Tracklayer's Daughter is decidedly unhappy with the Tracklayer's City in comparison to London. She relays her story and is rewarded for it with an unusual sort of payment. The way she describes the city varies with the city's Chosen Site.

Failure

A story told

A father tells the story of his daughter. He left her […] in London […] but as soon as the city was ready, he sent for her. […]

[…] she ran away back to her aunt's house. […] when she got to London... well, it wasn't herself that arrived[…] she's come back to Hinterlandcity.png [City Name] […]

[…]

Description summary:
A story is told by a tracklayer who left his daughter in London while laying track and then summoned her to the city once it was done. She was not happy and ran back (you read that right, ran). She may have fallen victim to some body-snatching creature, after which she went on an aggravated crime-spree in London. "She's" returned to the city now, and is lodging with "her father".
