Plot summary
Jerry O'Sullivan, honest Dublin theatrical carpenter, moves to London, seeking a better job. Against the better judgement of the people surrounding him, Jerry decides to go to the metropolis with his faithful wife Katey. O'Sullivan is hired as head carpenter in a squalid theatre in London, but after several misfortunes he is strongly tempted by and eventually brought down by alcohol. Unjustly suspecting his wife of infidelity, he murders her with a hammer and then cuts his throat with a chisel.

gollark: I.e. dependent on the last year of NDing, not the most recent turns or whatever.
gollark: I think those are larger-scale.
gollark: Also, on the turn rate thing being mentioned, while I doubt TJ09 is manually twiddling values when people get turns, there may be for some strange reason some automatic system to make turns less likely after lots have happened.
gollark: I'll have to see how my AR script does it.
