Thank you, and I’m glad it worked for you despite not knowing the canon!
Welcome to Night Vale is not a bad comparison, actually, in terms of people going about their everyday lives in a very strange and dangerous place – though most of the Fallen London universe is not as surreal as WTNV. The Iron Republic is a different animal entirely: a place founded by revolutionaries and devils (and revolutionary devils) who decided that it was a good idea to overthrow all laws, including, like. Gravity. (Law in this ficlet was meant not as a place but as a concept.) In fact, I’d say these three sentences are not quite bizarre and disjointed enough. And your limerick, in addition to being great, is entirely in keeping with the spirit of the place.
