No you are not dreaming! We needed a new "I am Made of Poison" design but Jeffrey couldn't come up with anything. Luckily Scary Go Round's John Allison had an English evening to spare. With his brow all a-furrow, he demanded the Aether maximize his design ability. For many hours, an eerie, dull glow fell over The Englishman's District, like a clearing storm at sunset. The wind didn't blow. The birds didn't sing. Telephones and radios fell silent. At last the shutters tore open and old John Allison shouted to the Heavens "Things are gonna change!" The District returned to life. On October 13, John and Jeffrey met at the ruins of the Palace of Versailles and agreed on a fair profit-share, and another notch was carved on the Cupboard of History.
