Barter your Correspondence Plaques

It's much safer to keep Correspondence letters on lead sheets than on paper. But still, your study is becoming a danger to public health and sanity.

Unlikely customers

What on earth do these scruffy street-children want with lead sheets engraved with primal sigils? And more importantly, what will they pay you? [This will always gain you Aeolian Screams. It may have other effects.]
(Unlocked with Correspondence Plaque X 50, Connected: Urchins 3)
A matter of luck: pretty good odds.

Lucky spoiler

A rooftop revel

Much like the beggars of the Flit and the courtiers of the Palace, the urchins of London have their feasts. Few people old enough to marry ever see them, but tonight you have a place of honour. Your Correspondence business will have to wait until morning, as the steaming rat-puddings are here. These urchins eat well, at least the ones in the more organised gangs do. Though when they each throw a rat into the air as 'the Masters' portion', none of the rats come down again.
You were fortunate!

Enough! Enough of these mind-shattering letters! Let us hear stories of bright skies and sunshine! [This will always gain you Visions of the Surface.]

Thinking bright thoughts

The sunset at Slough. The clouds at play over Chorleywood. Bliss.
