Right, I'm bak after the Christmas break. Sorry for the delay.
Turn 16: What a Wonderful World.1. London- Tersr
Peering out of the barred window and squinting in the light, you watch the outside world. Watch the people walking past, the trees swaying in the breeze and the birds swooping around in the breeze.
You suddenly feel very emotional, and get an idea for a
song.
As you run for some paper to scribble the idea down an officer opens your cell door, saying you are free to go.

2. Oxford- micelus
"...and so, I have called us all here to ask two things: What are the problems of the city and what do you think is needed to solve the problems ?"
One man shouts from the back of the stuffy room.
"The bloody government's the problem!" His voice is soon drowned out by a round of shouting.
Everything eventually calms down, and you manage to make a list of problems.
Cramped housing
Bad/No jobs
The Upper class
One man even goes as far as suggesting hygiene.
However, as for what is needed to solve it, everyone agrees it is your job to figure that one out.

3. Manchester- Ultimah
Picking your pistol out of its holster with a flourish and pointing it between the man's eyes, you then say:
"Try me, punk."
It sounded better in your head.
The thug does not take that well. Smacking the gun out of your hand and sending it skittering along the street, the man then throws a punch at you which you only just manage to avoid.

4. Cardiff- Riccto
For the first time in the conversation, the man looks disheartened.
"Emm, well. I do have contacts but few, if any, share my views."
He looks down at the remains of his lavish meal.
"It would appear we are alone."
Just as the silence gets awkward a bell tolls, and more platters are brought in.
"AH! Dessert!"
You eat the rest of the meal in silence, but quickly finish the delicious dessert. Have you anything to say before you leave?

5. Dublin- Sinpwn
You run past the officers and down the high street, continuing to play as you do. Feeling confident, you start to run with very high knees, and play more exaggerated. (6) Your gag pays off. You get many laughs and the police can't keep up with you in their hot and heavy uniforms. They eventually give up and some men pull you into a tavern, even going as far as buying you a drink.

6. Edinburgh- lawastooshort
As the woman sits you pour her a glass of wine and start talking.
"Did you know that one in every ten kids on the streets is an orphan? S'true." Proud of your made up statistic, you plough onwards.
"I was planning to set up an orphanage, y'know. I would have helped those poor children from a life on the streets, and turned them into respectable people. But, alas, I ran out of funds. The government wouldn't help me, and no-one would donate. I began to think nobody cared..."
The woman looks absolutely furious.
"I though you came to see me, not to try to soften me up with your sob stories and steal my money!" She begins to cry, and gets up to leave.
Do you save the situation, or let her go?
Name: Isaac Chesterton
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Background: Isaac is from a comfortable family; his father is a doctor and his brothers well educated. He studied humanities at Oxford and later at Edinburgh, and he has the airs of an eccentric, poetic and vocal revolutionary - for who would suspect a dreamer such as he to be a serious and cold blooded revolutionary?
