#Khan's Heart

[theunexpurgatedlondongazette]

Tuesday's Gazette: The Bone Market and the far Khanate!

Whims shift all across the Neath as traders of skeletons and intelligence alike move on to other interests. Here's everything a shrewd Londoner needs to know to take advantage of the latest market trends: Detailed information on the Bone Market and skeleton construction in general can be found on the Fallen London wiki at Assembling a Skeleton (Guide)<b>; similarly, an explanation of the spycraft of Khan's Heart can be found at </b>Khaganian Intrigue (Guide).

The Bone Market looks to the past! This week's fad is Antique skeletons:

An Enthusiast of the Ancient World will pay out 1 additional Unprovenanced Artifact

An Author of Gothic Tales will pay out additional Carved Balls of Stygian Ivory equal to half the skeleton's Antiquity (rounding the total secondary reward to the nearest even number).

A Zailor with Particular Interests will pay out additional Knobs of Scintillack equal to half the skeleton's Antiquity (rounding the total secondary reward to the nearest even number).

An Investment-Minded Ambassador will pay out a number of Tailfeathers Brilliant as Flame equal to 0.8 times Antiquity^(2.1).

Buyers are really eyeing the stalls! This week's zoological mania is for skeletal Arachnids, which will receive a Zoological Mania Bonus equal to 15% their Approximate Value in Pennies. To declare a skeleton an Arachnid it must have a non-human ribcage, eight legs, at most one tail, and no heads, arms, wings, or fins. You must also possess a Survey of Arachnids and Insects Native to the Neath and Unterzee.

An Enterprising Boot Salesman has been seen roaming the Bone Market's stalls! He is looking for many-legged, unthreatening skeletons (specifically, ones with no Menace nor Amalgamy and at least 4 legs). He will pay out in Whisper-Satin Scraps equal to your skeleton's value divided by 50 (including the Zoological Mania bonus, if any) and in Ostentatious Diamonds equal to (number of skeleton's legs)^2.2. This buyer is locked out by having 4 Exhaustion or more, and will increase it by 1 point for every (number of skeleton's legs)^2 divided by 100.

Far across the Zee in the Khanate's Copper Quarter a certain Trifling Diplomat has become interested in Skeletons with multiple heads. He will pay for them in Assortment of Khaganian Coinage (equal to 1 plus the Approximate Value of Your Skeleton in Pennies divided by 50) and in Compromising Documents (equal to [Antiquity + Amalgamy + Menace]^2.2, divided by 3).

Meanwhile, in Khan's Heart, the Precocious Engineer is selling Emetic Revelations at the price of 20 Palimpsest Scraps each.

Bruce, walking around the Manor: Hm... I hear suspiciously familiar voices

Bruce, pressing his ear to the door:

Jason, voice muffled: Yeah, well, let's say I kill sometimes in Gotham. But that's gotta be done, you know? This city is not going to help itself.

Ghostmaker: Listen, kid, I understand. Better than anyone. Do your thing.

Jason: Thank you, thank you! It just still hurts a little bit! I mean, come on, guys, we are family. There is no way you can't see the truth, and even if you do, you still threaten me to send me in Arkham or anywhere worse.

Ghostmaker, rolling his eyes: Oh, ignore them. Had I told you, once Bruce and I fought over exactly the same thing. He pissed me off, so I was knocking him down... He wakes up, I am over him, patching him up. And he goes, like, Khoa? Where are we? And I am shrugging, like... We are in Arkham because, Bruce, honey. I love you, but that's the likely place for you to end up in. Have fun.

Jason, in awe: Really? He never told us that.

Ghostmaker: Well, that's little bat for you...

Bruce, paling gradually: No. No. No.

(Minutes later, in Batcave)

Bruce: Okay, who decided to introduce Jason and Khoa to each other? I am not mad. I just need to know this.

Dick, nervous: Uh, it was me. Let's say, it was me, and I am—

Bruce: It wasn't you. Don't even try.

Bruce, stares at Tim: Timothy?

Tim, rolling his eyes: Nah. If it was me, I would be proud. I would tell everyone I did this.

Tim: But, hey, Damian was the last one who spoke with them.

Damian: Naturally. Excluding father and Cain, they are the only two people who knew my family.

Tim: I am saying...

Damian: Keep your mouth shut—

Bickering sound: intensifies

Alfred, staring in invisible camera, in the other room: I did that. I did that, and I am having my fun.

the plot of The Wrath of Khan is basically just Kirk staring adoringly, ravenously, desperately, at his husband until he dies
