Because of traffic? If I go to London, I'll be sure to fly.

See? Now that sounds useful and like a wonderful idea. It would open up so many places to people who can't or won't take months to travel.

[domainless]

You might draw a bit of attention doing that since no-one else can.

And yeah. I guess. But trains do the same thing! You can get to another country in like... an hour.

[chrisisofaith]

No one looks up.
Half the people here don't know I fly and there's only one other guy with wings in Duplicity.

Look I'm not arguing their usefulness, when I saw one first off, I thought it was clever!
But all my insides aim to be outsides when I'm on one, which is not a good time for anybody.

The tourists probably do. They're there to see the fancy buildings and the palace and stuff.

Alright. I suppose they must be strange if you're really not used to them. Never much thought about it. They're just a fact of life at home.

[chrisisofaith]

You get tourists to your city?
From all I'd heard, London's dingy and smoggy and sees fog a lot.

[His perception might be more colored by a Victorian-era man, but still.]

It's normal, there's a hundred little things you don't think to explain or consider cause they're common to you and not so to another. I'm sure there's plenty I can think of for myself and plenty more I can't cause they're just ingrained.

[domainless]

Yeah! Loads. Millions of people every year.

Smoggy? I don't think we've had smog for decades. I mean, the air quality is not always great, but it's not awful. And we don't get that much smog. There's loads of old buildings and monuments, and parks too.

Yeah, probably. If there ever is a funfair though...

[chrisisofaith]

I don't think there's even a million people living in my region of Faerun, certainly not in the Moonsea and it's neighboring provinces. That sounds hectic. I think my source might be outdated and my more 'modern' people of London rarely talk about the city itself.

Funfair? Is that where roller coasters are? Cause you'll need more than pretty smile to get me on one of those things you described.

[domainless]

It's a big city. Eight million people if you take in the whole area?

Yeah, I think that sounds more Victorian maybe? I don't know. It's a very modern city. Bloody expensive though.

Yeah! There's all sorts of ride! Some slow ones, some fast. And food! Candyfloss, and popcorn and game arcades!

[chrisisofaith]

That's so many people. I think I'd get lost.

Everything here is expensive to my eyes. Food should cost coppers, not a week of a man's pay.

[That's a rabbit hole he should....probably spare Martin...]

Alright well I'm familiar with some of those.
If a 'funfair' comes through Duplicity, we'll go together and you can show me your favorites.

[domainless]

It's easy to get lost in.

Oh my god, yeah, you would die of shock in London. Renting a flat is expensive enough before you even get to buying things you need to live.

Sounds good. I'll hold you to it!
