fallen london is funny because it leads to the wildest phrases ever. things I have said or heard said in fallen london discord (mainly bone market) conversations:
amphibians are basically an ape with a multiplier
i'm six birds away from a worm
it's better then grinding orphans nowadays, at the very least
Even with 4 milkings per day that's still less than 1 oil per week. meanwhile, we'll probably average at over 2 Popes per week
Im gonna probably try to breed him into the owl
the bees aren't consenting
having arms is generally kind of bad yes, there's a lot of incentives against using them
All in all, very good if somewhat card-dependent. The Pope's still got it!
I just don't love how when I'm doing my weekly firing of the tentacled entrepeneur she gets a little racist about it
Some rivers snake, this one IS snakes
i need to get more poop for my railway
I want to conflagrate a bunch first cause I heard that helps

I call this fit: "trying to get to the slow river for faction item reasons."
The Mark of Disdain is my favorite.

A question of composition
You try posing with a few of your favourite sigils. The sculptor's hair keeps catching fire while he is drawing the reference sketches. In the end, you settle on a compromise: you are pictured reading, but the statue's viewer cannot see any Correspondence unless she climbs onto the plinth and peeks over your shoulder. A few schoolchildren do attempt this, with memorable consequences.
Children...are the future.

Paramount Presence going well
London's Blood achieved. That's two uncomfortably visceral qualities out of four.

Me: optimizes my BDR items on my main so that I literally require negative Making Waves to regain lost Notability levels.
Me: sweet, I've maximized the amount of BDR I can gain without spending Fate!
FBG: introduces four (4) new item slots to be added in April.
Me: ...
#fallen london#notability#firmament#i'm assuming that the airships don't occupy the same slot as the regular zailing ships#catch skymaw lounging on the deck of their new airship adorned in jewelry#while their crew hauls their brand new luggage#paramount presence here we come

Bandages Achieved
Now I've gotten Tomb-Colonist Renown up to 25 and received the associated item (as planned), I can decide what to do next. Either take one of my 30+ renown factions and drive it up to 40 for the final gift item, or seek out one of the two neglected factions that haven't reached renown 25, yet.
Urchins, most likely, since Rubbery Men apparently do not have a connected pet.

(Transcript after the fold.)
Too real, FL.
As you blearily work through a problem with your assistants, you realise, much to your horror, that you can hardly keep what you're talking about straight. It appears you have reached the dreaded boundary of terminology.
Pull another alphabet off the shelf
Equations stretch languidly across blackboards. First, you named variables from a to z. Then from alpha to omega. Then from aleph to tav.
Combine Greek and Latin
The linguistic equivalent of mixing the jam and cream before smearing them on the scone.

The thunder loves me
I love the thunder. The thunder tells stories to those it loves. The thunder tells me of the correspondence between lover and loved and invites me into its heart. I see with the thunder's eyes. I demand to be loved!
