@Frettzo I think I'm the only Brit here.

London is generally the go-to place for newcomers. It is, quite possibly, the most cosmopolitan city in the world.
The atmosphere isn't great anywhere for immigrants, refugees, and minorities at the moment though. It'll be hard getting in, and it'll be hard to stay, as the government is really cracking down on the numbers who are allowed in. And you've got right-wingers doing their thing.

As my only real experience is here in London, I can only tell you what it's like here. If you have any specific questions about London, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer.

As for how long it would take to find a job like what you say, it's hard to say. I can't really help you there. I know the cleaners at my uni are outsourced and pretty much all of them are foreigners. The cleaners at my school when I was yet at school were also foreign, though I don't know if they were outsourced or not - I don't think they were.

As for groups of people known to be dangerous...I wouldn't say there are any dangerous 'groups' per se. There are areas with higher crime rates than others though. This wiki article may be a good starting place if crime rate will dictate where you choose to settle [in London]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_London

Edit: If they take you to Room 101 on arrival, please don't tell them about me. Pls.

In other news, I had a bloody hectic week last week and couldn't get any reading done. I just posted in one of my other RPs and will now do my all to continue reading so I can get to posting.

@Frettzo I can't claim to be an expert on the UK, but I can say you'll be at a significant advantage for being fluent in English and wanting to work. As I understand it, much of the right wing poopooing about migrants is towards the economic refugees from northern Africa posing as Syrians and other Salafist Muslim migrants who are forming enclave communities and not integrating into British culture so well. In contrast, there are loads of Sikhs and European migrants who most people seem to be fine with. Then again, I'm not from the UK. I could be completing misreading the situation.

If there's a UK consulate in or around your country still, it may be worth contacting them to get information on the immigration process. If you are moving because of the danger, I would explore the option of immigrating as an asylum seeker. As I understand it, they have an easier time getting into certain countries. Ask about that if you can.

The above advice is just from second/third-hand accounts, though. The only absolutely solid do-not-ignore advice I can give you is have your passport and identification! Not being able to prove your identity and country of origin is what puts most people in immigration limbo, at least when coming to my country.

I'm a British citizen, thanks to my Father being born in the UK ;) So I don't believe I might have as much of a hard time as non-citizens. I may be wrong, though.

As for London, I did visit a couple times when things were better. Everything's really orderly, I loved it. Especially how the buses are always on time. How the heck do they manage to time everything so well??

As it stands, you can't even leave Venezuela without a passport, ID and about 2000 dollars for the ticket out :p

I don't mind working. In fact I actually love working, as long as it provides enough for me to live, which is something I can't say about my current situation. One needs about 5 full time jobs in order to live somewhat comfortably.

@Frettzo If you're a British citizen then you should have no issues at all, book your flight and get away.
If that's not possible, get to any consulate/embassy of an EU member-state and they should be able to help you if you feel endangered. As the UK is still in the EU, any member-state consulate/embassy is a British consulate/embassy as far as you're concerned.

If you're in Caracas, the British embassy is there and may be able to provide assistance: gov.uk/world/organisations/british-em…

And we is back. Now the cosmic vandalism can begin.

I'm sadly not qualified to help with practical questions of any sort, but, for what it's worth, always feel free to refill from the encouragement supply, provided the last of it hasn't been stolen last year or so.

Hopefully all goes well for you! Stay safe.

From what I heard the clocks at the stops are linked to the proximity of the bus. If the bus is late the clock slows down and if it's ahead of time the clock speeds up to compensate.

Also, best of luck on your situation. I know you'll need it.

Just quickly glancing through the first through posts of said vault, this line popped out to me:

but time is so insignificant to the gods that they need not even operate within its framework (strangely enough, my character will be a god of time/space, great to know I'm insignificant xD)

Time for the first exchange between the Lawfulest brothers since the beginning!

@Cyclone Do you have more Xos shenanigans in the works? I have at least one more collab to do on Toun's prep before a showdown.

EDIT: I thought I would bodge together a wiki page for Clockdog the clockwork dog (made by Kinesis and Conata ages back). Then I realised I would either have to make yet another infobox template or learn how to create one inline.

Whatever, I found an image. It'll do for now:

Clockdog [+]

I tried to find the origin of this. I think it's buried in a furry site somewhere and I didn't need to spend those extra hours trawling there, either. At any rate, I wasn't going to put the image up on the wiki without knowing for sure.

*eye twitches* There's gears that don't go to anything, and don't serve a purpose. The beast is a monster of inefficiency and waste for the sake of aesthetics. The background is even worse. Bottom left arrangement is driver pahl reverser, great wheel (FOR A FUCKING CLOCK), th wheel, second wheel, driver pahl reverser. Oh, and not a single of leaves or microbearings, anywhere. Its like Salvador Dali designed this blue print.

The top right is an utter travesty. Balance Wheel (THOSE AREN'T TEETH, THEY'RE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS), Ratchet Wheel, and a multiplying system speed adjustment ratchet wheel. Each piece is in an uttery different CONTINENT of the goddamn watch. Since we're just gonna work with IMPOSSIBLE FANTASY, I guess my pen is now a lightsaber!



*is quietly led away by the men in white coats and placed in a straight jacket as he continues to rant and rave about watches*

>The beast is a monster of inefficiency and waste for the sake of aesthetics.

Geez dude, Ilunabar is already adopting the thing, no need to drive the selling point any further.

A half written post concerns him. Beyond that, @Rtron and I had plans way back that could still come to fruition if he's willing.

I imagine that everything else I'd planned will be cut. I only anticipate myself making 3-4 more posts and to get through everything that I need, it'll be pretty tight.

@Dawnscroll I am convinced that you are Sylar.



I've only gotten to episode 21 of the first season, so it's currently not entirely complimentary.

*Having just told Dawnscroll that he's a psycho who wants to open our brains and take our superpowers for himself, who can hear a watch is 1 second out of time from five miles; backs away slowly and hides inside a wall*

@BBeast Why did that pop out at you?

_{I was young, I was stupid, please don't listen to me, I have no idea what I was saying.}

@Kho I just found it funny and still somewhat relevant.

@Dawnscroll That sounds like Kinesis' design ethic. Aesthetics over efficiency. Extra gears for looking pretty.

I'm down. Super down. The downest of down.

I don't want to cut too much. If there's a 'fail forward' situation for Xos, it can probably be done. Besides, Toun doesn't have to track down Xos instantly. He'll be on the hunt. That in itself can be its own substory.

This place has been pretty quiet lately.
