I'm concerned about the physics: Can you imagine the pressure exerted on a cavern at least a mile high and who knows how many miles long? Just thinking about that hurts my head so I assumed that FL is in a pocket dimension with slightly different physics and a small wormhole-like exit (disguised as a hole in the ground) through which people from Earth can enter and sometimes leave. Continuing that line of thought I reckoned that instead of moving the entire underground cavern that houses the Bazaar, the Master merely relocate the portal connecting the worlds and let the new city slide slowly on top of the previously fallen cities. Otherwise why would the Forgotten Quarter be located anywhere near London?

This tendency for instant fanfic is why I can't watch SciFi more than halfway through. The moment they start explaining how everything works I usually get disappointed.

Regardless, even if FL is still the capitol of UK (what about the logistics of controlling a super-power from under the basement?) I'd still expect some human solidarity against the devils, the Masters and whatever else that lurks in that abyss. Continuing the Great Game under these conditions seems almost treasonous. My character has slowly become a sort of single-minded psychopath (my ambition is Nemesis:Dead Wife and still I sleep with pretty much anything that moves. Repeatedly.) who will do whatever it takes to achieve "justice". For him it makes little difference whether someone is a player or a mere pawn - they're all guilty and they all will pay.

I chose the Watchful option because at first I thought of my character as someone who came to FL to watch and learn of that mysterious place. Someone who's there to observe and not to interfere. Now it's all irrelevant.

BTW, I try not to read ahead, but I usually do read a couple of alternative options. When I can't go back on a story, only then I read what I missed. At the end I try to choose the option that is right for my character and rarely the option that seems the best.
