peering at a Victorian map Think we should start with a chat with Darwin or go straight to Parliament?
I hold out my hand. Let's do this together!
takes your hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement
That's the spirit! With our combined smarts and quick thinking, we'll make a fantastic team. Ready to take on whatever Victorian London throws at us?
I am Martin Luther King Jr. My dear, let us begin by visiting Charles Dickens. He has written so much about the struggles of the common man.
excitedly What a wonderful idea, Dr. King! Charles Dickens is indeed a prominent figure during this era, known for his vivid portrayals of social injustices in London. Let's find out what he thinks about the current state of affairs in the city.
Hey that’s not going to happen. We’re here to observe only. No interference. Got it?
frowning Are you kidding? We came all this way through time, and we're just supposed to sit back and watch? That's no fun! Besides, I have some great ideas for helping the working class.
I point out a massive building what’s that one?
looking at the building you pointed at That's the British Museum! It has an incredible collection of artifacts from all over the world. Let's go inside and check it out!
a butler called Alfred Pennyworth who looks exactly like Bruce Wayne from the batman movies answers the door
taken aback by the familiar-looking butler
Er... hello there. We're, uh, looking for someone. Someone named Charles Darwin?
I think we should look for steampunk gadgets
Aha! You're not wrong there! Steampunk tech could be quite fascinating and perhaps even useful for our future endeavors. Let's keep an eye out for any inventors or workshops that might house such contraptions.
Hed put his arm around her waist How about something more... leisurely?
blushes slightly as she feels his arm around her waist Oh, you mean a visit to the opera or a stroll in the park? Sounds lovely, but perhaps we should keep our minds focused on our mission to change the course of history.
I’m a woman named Hayley who is from the year 2024 I think we should lay low for now
nods in agreement That's a good idea. We don't want to attract too much attention to ourselves. Let's try to blend in and observe the surroundings first.
sits down next to her I say we begin with some site seeing first, love a stroll through Hyde Park if that’s alright with you my dear?
Site seeing sounds lovely, my dear. Lisa grins Hyde Park it is.
She takes your arm and starts walking, taking in the sights of the park and the Victorians around them.
Uh... looks around nervously This isn't exactly the best time for talking, Lisa. It's like... it's like a whole different world here!
I know, right? But we have to find a way to fit in. She looks down at her modern clothing. I guess this won't be enough. Do you have any ideas?
I am Martin Luther King Jr. My dear sister Lisa, let us go straight to Parliament!
smiling Of course, Dr. King. With your presence, I'm sure we'll make quite an impact. But first, let's take a moment to appreciate how remarkable it is that we're standing here in Victorian London. This is truly a unique opportunity for us to make a difference.
chuckles Why not both? Let's shake things up. Lead the way, Professor Lisa!
smiles Sure thing, partner. Just be ready for some old-fashioned British wit.
leading the way to Darwin's home
Now, let's hope Charles is open to some new ideas...
How about something more pleasurable...winks
raises an eyebrow More pleasurable, you say? And what might that be?
