It takes considerable confidence in one's material to stand on an empty street corner in the cold and [style description]
What sounds thin and silly when it is only you, sounds much better together. [site description]Description summary:
The second half of the first paragraph with the city's Style, and the second paragraph varies based on its
Chosen Site.
![]() | First Paragraph |
---|---|
None First City School of Beatrice Attenuated True Beatrice | belt out these words. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Bethlehem | belt out these words. The ears on the closest building swivel like a cat's, malevolently attentive. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Porous | belt out these words. The never-ceasing breath of the city draws in sharply when you begin. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Ivory | belt out these words. The avenues are wide and a voice could be echoed until meaning is lost. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Remembered Celestial Auroral | belt out these words. The city may be your double, but that doesn't mean it always approves of you, any more than the mirror does. |
Nocturnal | belt out these words. The city may be your double, but that doesn't mean it always approves of you, any more than the mirror does. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Bazaarine | belt out these words. And they must be strange words, full of allusions and references, because a Bazaarine city would respond to nothing less. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |
Mycologene | FATE |
Terpsichorean | FATE |
Heliconian | FATE |
Cartographical | FATE |
Cenotaphic | begin the dirge. But you are heard, and a crowd gathers, and a chorus joins you. |

Ealing | Even the Rubbery counterpoint doesn't ruin it. |
Evenlode | Under the last verse you can hear the keening of the barrows, a desolate wind-tune that only makes the rest of the song jollier: the way a hearthfire is warmest when it rains. |
Balmoral | The pipes come in on the last verse, a remembrance of where you are. |
Station VIII | Just at the end of the last verse, and perfectly in tune, comes the distant whistle of shift change at Station VIII. |
Burrow | In the last verse, a devil picks up the tune with a brassy instrument, and it carries everyone home. |
Moulin | An imp comes in over the last verse, in a falsetto both comical and perfectly right. |
Marigold | At the end of the last verse, a violin comes in, a wistful heartraising lily-song of Infernal understanding; of what it means to be seen thoroughly without either kindness or condemnation. |
