The Westenra Polycule being cannon by virtue of blood transfusions is probably the absolute funniest way this could have played out and I for one am living for it! Seal your polycule with a blood pact!!

Animal of the Day!
Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus nivosus)
(Photo from Audubon California)
Conservation Status- Vulnerable
Habitat- Western coastal United States; Western coastal Mexico
Size (Weight/Length)- 15 cm
Diet- Crustaceans; Insects
Cool Facts- The western snowy plover depends on a very specific habitat for survival. They live on sandy beaches and wade into the shallow water as it laps at the shore. They’re professionals at flicking out coquina clams from the sand and chasing brine flies. Western snowy plovers and their home is protected under the Endangered Species Act due to the slow dilapidation of beaches from to a mixture of tourism and changing currents sweeping sand away. During spring, nesting beaches are carefully roped off and protected to ensure that these puffballs have a chance of a comeback.
Rating- 13/10 (Plovers, in general, are some of the cutest birds.)

The Harkers' day trip to London
With my best attempt at finding contemporary or near-contemporary photos, paintings and illustrations.
The train to London:
"We came back to town quietly, taking a 'bus..."
"... to Hyde Park Corner."
"Jonathan thought it would interest me to go into the Row for a while"
"We got up and walked down Piccadilly"
"I was looking at a very beautiful girl, in a big cart-wheel hat, sitting in a victoria..."
"Outside Guiliano's"
(I can't find a photo - contemporary or modern - of Giuliano's, a jeweller at 115 Piccadilly, but this is nearby)
"We walked a little further, and then went in and sat for a while in the Green Park."
They would have returned via Paddington station:
And back to Exeter St David's:

❗️This is a medium risk action.❗️
➡️ There will be several aggressive fascists on site who fundraise off escalation.
➡️ There will be lots of fascist streamers/"independent journalists" looking to turn someone into content.
