[k] ?1:I'm surprised we got in so easily. ?2:I was sure the security guards were going to stop us. ?! @Reines So we've got a fortress with a masquerade ball in a palace, an observatory over there, and a minting facility over there... [k] @Reines It's like they've taken Towers of London from different time periods and stitched them together like, well, not to put too fine a point on it, but some sort of patchwork. [k] ?1:What's the Tower of London? [charaFace A 1] @Reines One of London's most famous World Heritage sites. [k] @Reines It started out as a fortress built by William the Conqueror, where it was called the White Tower, and was expanded upon by Richard I and Henry III. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Reines It's been around for a very long time. At one point,[sr]it was used as a jail for royal or noble prisoners. [k] @Reines I expect that most people still think of it as a prison to this day...as the infamous Wailing Tower. [k] ?2:William the Conqueror's fortress, right? The World Heritage site? @Reines So you're familiar with it, hm? Well, it is one[sr]of the most famous buildings in all of London. [k] @Reines Most people probably think of it as a jail where they kept royal and other noble prisoners, but it's also been a palace, a bank, and even a zoo. [k] ?!
