Mornington Crescent
This was once upon a time the Néaville railway station, but recently it was re-built to house the underground. The brick building is airy, with slender pillars raising a domed ceiling, and there is a blessed absence of pigeons on the rafters.
The one most prominent feature among the decorations is the huge Mornington Crescent sign—best not to inquire how it came to be here—but if you look around the walls you will notice smaller signs from Stora Mossen, Chateau d'Eau and other important underground stations.
One part of the station houses a pub, although it appears to be empty just now.
The purpose of the underground station is not to provide an escape route from Linnéaville; instead, it is an extension of the Games Arcade, the latter finally proving too small for the gaming needs of the Mornington Crescent players. In here, they are amply furnished with everything they need for the playing of the Game of Mornington Crescent. Large tables hold 3X5 metre maps of the major underground systems of the world; players move around them, using long poles to manoeuvre their counters and move token stacks around. A series of small lamps indicate special circumstances: Cascades, bi- or trifurcations and spoons, while an alarm bell starts making a soft beeping sound as soon as a loop comes into effect.
It is about five years since I discovered the wonderful web community dedicated to playing Mornington Crescent. There are many places for the aspiring player to go; my favourite haunts are Dunx' friendly Orange MC, the slick Mornington Crescent in Outer Space hosted by Dan Parslow, and the latest arrival, MC5.
