"As I stand on the bustling docks of Amsterdam, the sights and sounds awaken my senses. The salty breeze carries whispers of the sea as ships dock with their precious cargo. Among the workers, my attention is drawn to the Caribbean dockworkers, a remarkable sight indeed"

For #Faar it will always be Finger Sandwich - The Bismarck's take on a common meal popular amongst Galadion Bay's dockworkers. A popular "fast food" snack for Lominsans with a deliciously spiced scrambled eggs and fish fingers.
It's Faar's favourite food since she was a wee kitten.

When an upper-class whiteboi from London goes to hang out in the dark streets of Whitechapel with Caribbean dockworkers from the port during the Victorian era. They need to be very discreet.

we did it a second time with the same result – we even put the least-arrestable people (leaders of the dockworkers union) up the front and they all got immediately arrested. both times, so much energy that could have been spent fighting for palestine instead had to be spent on arrest/court support.
