Eliza - Mrs. Lovett - Administrator One
Kate - Sweeney Todd & Dahlia Bird- Administrator Two



But there’s no place like London…


Most people, when they think of London, think of Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, or The Queen.

But then there are the citizens of Fleet Street, who rarely notice any of these things. They’re much to busy with their own business, and most of it involves worrying about a particular shop on said street.

Sweeney Todd’s Tonsorial Parlour, run by Sweeney Todd himself.

He seldom laughed, but he often smiled…


Sweeney Todd, the alias of Benjamin Barker, the man who was exiled fifteen years ago. He’s returned to London to seek out his family, only to be told that his wife has died and his daughter is now the ward of the infamous Judge Turpin, the man that exiled him to begin with.

And now, with the help of a particular Nellie Lovett, Sweeney Todd has his eye set on avenging his wife, and nothing can stop him.

These are probably the worst pies in London…


Shortly after his arrival, Mrs. Lovett’s pies suddenly boomed with success, shifting from the worst to the best, envied by any other pie maker.

But many of the city’s men have been disappearing just as this change occurred, and it has a few people wondering.

What will you be to London? A normal citizen, unconcerned about the men disappearing in Sweeney’s shop? Or will you be one of the shop keepers, only worried about your own success in the city?

Or on a darker note, will you be one of the many men to disappear within the four walls of Sweeney Todd’s shop?

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd,
He served a dark and a vengeful God!
To seek revenge may lead to Hell,
But everyone does it, and seldom as well
As Sweeney, as Sweeney Todd.
The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

[ ]Journals (2 sub-boards)
If you character keeps a journal, then you can post it here for them to write their entries. Remember, though, just because you can read others' diary entries doesn't mean your character knows about what written. Unless, perhaps, it was acted out that your character was supposed to have read something...

FLEET STREET
[ ]The Market
The London market opens at eight thirty every morning and closes just after one o'clock. It takes place on the green just off of Fleet Street. Little tents full of merchants and antique vendors. They sell fresh fruits and vegetables, it's where most of the restaurants buy their supplies.

[ ]Fogg's Asylum
The Fogg's Asylum... It's not exactly a place that many people want to end up. Truthfully, though, it's not that bad looking when you walk by. A large iron post fest spans around the entire property keeping certain people in and various others out. There are lots of bushes and gardens on either side of the walkway up to the door. All around, it actually looks like a nice place... on the outside, that is. Perhaps you should ask the residents what they think of it.

[ ]The London Times
The London Times is the local newspaper of the large city. These are its main headquarters. This is the building where journalists and reporters come in and the stories they tell flow out hot off of the press.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The Westminster Clock Tower
Everybody knows of the clock tower, frankly, how can you miss it? Nicknamed 'Big Ben', the large clock tower was completed in 1858 and chimes loudly every hour so you never lose track of time.

[ ]Mrs. Lovett's Famous Meat Pies (7 sub-boards)
In all actuality, it doesn't really hold up to its name. Mrs. Nellie Lovett's pie shop isn't known for being a good pie shop, but rather, the worst. Still, she seems as bright and chipper as always, even if she hasn't seen a customer in weeks.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Buckingham Park
The large park just at the end of Fleet Street. There are many benches to sit on while you take your afternoon stroll, and large trees to provide shade for any couples that decide to have a lunch outside.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The Town Square
A large circular area in the middle of Fleet Street that separates one end of the street from the other. This is usually where Pirelli's cart is parked, advertising his 'Miracle Elixir'. People tend to gather here and listen, but whether or not they buy it, well, that's another story...
00
[ ]The London Harbor (1 sub-board)
The famous London Harbor. You'll find many sailors around the docks and such, as well as merchants stands that sell fresh fish. Whatever you're coming here to do, you simply must stop and watch the fish tossers. It's proven to be quite entertaining.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The Walnut Tree
The Walnut Tree is a women's dress shop. The seamstress works almost twenty-four/seven, and is always taking orders and doing fittings. She also sells jewelry, so if you're a man looking to buy your lady something this is a good place to come to.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Waxy O'Connors
Waxy O'Connors is the local pub. Usually, if you don't find them inside, you'll see the drunks staggering around in the alley just to the left of the building. Be careful of them, though... they can get a little out of hand sometimes.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Reynold's
Reynold's is a shop for men's clothing. Whether you need a fine suit or just a new dress shirt, perhaps even something to go with it or a hat, you can find it here.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The London Courthouse (2 sub-boards)
Where all of London's crimes are brought before the public, as well as the [not so?] honorable Judge Turpin. The foyer is rather majestic looking, while the court room itself is even more magnificent.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The Emandel
This is one of the more upper class restaurants, usually only the wealthy are found here. The interior design is absolutely perfect, seeing as the owner has plenty of money to put into it.
OWNER: [note ahead of time - if you own The Emandel, you must be a wealthy/upper class citizen]
Moderators: Eliza, Kate

UPPER LONDON
[ ]St. Mary's Cathedral
The St. Mary's Cathedral is the largest church in all of London. The bells toll out when mass begins and as it lets out. The interior design of the cathedral is absolutely extraordinary, it'd be a complete sin to not see it. Even if you're one of those that can't pay attention to the sermon for longer than three minutes, you'll find yourself occupied with the large stained glass windows or the paintings on the ceiling.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Waldgrave Cemetery
The Waldgrave Cemetery is just behind the church. Seeing as it's actually the only cemetery in London for quite a ways, most of the citizens are buried here.

[ ]Claridge's
Claridge's is a more middle class restaurant that the majority of London can afford. They offer wonderful food for low prices, as well as a splendid view of the sea.

[ ]The Skeffington Theatre
The theatre was constructed in late 1849, but wasn't finished until late 1856. Things like operas and symphonies are played here. Walking by during a show you're bound to hear some sort of glorious musical sound from the inside.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate

[ ]Schellden Practice (1 sub-board)
The local doctor's. Not only is this man a doctor of medicine, but in his same building (the shop just above) is Dr. Oswald, the London dentist.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Ethelbert Inn
The inn has been running for only a few years, though the Ethelbert family has done a wonderful job of keeping up with it. Keys to their rooms fly off the hooks at a rather alarming rate with people always waiting for bookings. Occasionally, when large events are taking place, some guests even have to be turned away, unfortunately.

LOWER LONDON
[ ]The Alleyways
The alleys of London, rather dark and dreary. Oh, and don't forget menacing. Be careful, especially at night. You never know what's wandering around.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Lucy's Ladies
The local whorehouse, run by Lucy herself. Well, actually her first name's Lucinda, but she likes going by Lucy instead. This is where some of the men slip away to to 'rent' a woman for the night.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]The Old Warehouse
The warehouse has been abandoned for many years, nobody really knows what it used to be. It was constructed around 1829, but left very shortly after. The inside is stacked with lots of boxes and crates, and rats and mice scuttle across the floor.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Mackenzie's Beach
This is Mackenzie's Beach, or rather, the dreadful section of it. It's located close to the harbor where the sailors come in, but as I said, it's the part that nobody really wants to visit. It's rather run down and over-grown, but if you'd like privacy this is a good place to go. Just watch out for the occasional scumbag wandering about...

HOMES
[ ]Manors
These are the manors, the homes of the upperclass of London. Only the wealthy can afford these.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Houses
The houses are just larger than the cottages. They consist of four floors. The cellar, the main level, the upper level, and an attic.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Cottages
The cottages are located just outside of London, or the busy part at least.
Moderators: Eliza, Kate
00
[ ]Flats
Basically like apartments, they consist of a bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen/family area. The rent is low, so it's affordable.
