"Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."
"Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."
"Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."
"That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."
"You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"
"Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.
I first started recording this for a friend way back in 2020, and now that this wonderful fic is complete, I'm sharing it here. It was one of the first things I ever recorded, and it's been fun to go back through and listen to the old files and see the progress in recording quality (I get a proper microphone and some soundproofing...eventually), editing (please pardon the occasional siren), voices (I am inordinately proud of the ones for Poke the Raven and the City of London in particular), etc.
All chapters have already been recorded, and will be uploaded as I get the chance to edit them.
