2500? My god, I can't even fathom what the world would look like fifty years from now. That being said, about the Thames, in my time, it's rather crowded with ships and a tad.
Murky, let's say.
I'm from 1868. The Rooks are real, they're the gang I lead back in London. And it does include some gambling, but chiefly we've been throwing another, bigger, worse gang out of power.
Right. I'll take that advice under consideration, if and when I do get back to London.
Easy. Our lot doesn't target innocent people, and we'll not accept them as collateral damage, either. The Blighters are all too willing to harm civilians just to show their power.
[ if and when - that's the crux of it all, isn't it? but that way lies madness, so she lets it drop to continue dwelling on it later. ]
the blighters. a disease or a poison. in legal code, an area that's detrimental to safety, health, or morals. at least they picked an appropriate name.
Certainly a poison to London, for all they and their benefactors pretended they were doing it for the city's sake. So I formed the Rooks, to stand up against them and show their victims there was a way to fight back, a way to cure the ills they'd brought to the people of London.
My sister would like you, I believe. Her name's Evie. She's got a keen interest on history.
she has a good brother. thank you [ for what, exactly? it's so hard to explain what happened or how they know each other. ] for being there, in the dream. i'm glad the rooks exist as a gang or a cult.

[ ominous?? also rude maybe?? ]
how do you decide if your gang is less worse than the other one?
