Recording data for the hypothesis that increase and decrease descriptions are de-coupled:

11 | A lightbulb flickers and burns out. |
17 | A stray mutt leaps into a canal, escaping the clutches of a dog-catcher. |
24 | Waves lap at the edges of a canal. |
28 | Music streams in from an apartment above – the telltale scratching of a phonograph cylinder. |
31 – 34 | Wind from the North streaks through the streets. |
35 – 38 | A stray wave shoves a water-taxi off its course. The driver is already arguing with a barge-pilot before their vessels collide in earnest. |
42 | Streamers strung between buildings, fluttering in the wind. |
45 – 49 | The façade of a music-hall: a blinding wall of lightbulbs surrounding a marquee in Khaganian script. |
54 | A dog barks, alone in the distance. |
56 – 59 | Rattus faber in tiny overalls crawl over a marquee, replacing burnt-out lightbulbs. |
61 – 63 | The smell of tobacco wafts from a nearby building. |
68 – 69 | A few White-and-Gold officers with hammers smash up a box of confiscated mirrors. |
70 – 73 | Something slithers in the canal – a shark? |
76 – 79 | A water-taxi driver ties his boat to a bollard. "Can't take you," he tells a pedestrian dressed as a Londoner. "Need to charge the batteries." |
80 – 88 | Skewers charring on a street vendor's grill: mushrooms, pork belly, prawns. |
91 – 100 | A grassy scent fills the street from a samovar in a tea-house. |

Unaltered[edit]
Wiki note: Probably not a whole separate table, so just listing observations until I'm sufficiently convinced these belong on the increase table OR a counterexample is found
- 50: A dog barks, alone in the distance.
