Sorry - mad period in work - will try and get back to the story ASAP.

No problem.

Yep, take all the time you need.

Wow. I now know a lot more about the south London gang scene in the 2000s after researching that post. For the purposes of the story I made up the 318 Crew (who turn out to be some rap group) and the Belmont Mandem. Peckham Boys and Ghetto Boys are real gangs. Giggs and IN1 are also real, the music being Road Rap.

And people say roleplaying isn't educational!

Sounds like the sort of thing Kris would actually listen to!

I had Kris down as more of a Lionel Richie man.

He’s very much a Lionel Ritchie, Barry White kinda guy, but recently he’s been noticing that the coppers are starting to look younger, and he’s nott, so he’s trying to recapture his youth by listening to young persons’ music… …

It occurs to me that we could have "won" this scenario long ago had Balfour gotten just a bit more lucky with his damage rolls and killed Simon when he was in his car. I think Simon only had 2 health left, so he came close. He'd have been carted off to jail and the world would be saved. Of course, we'd have lost Simon in return, so would the world really have been worth it at that point?

Would a world without Simon even really exist?

I'll be away next week so posting will be sporadic/non-existent.

Have a lovely trip, wherever you find yourself.
