PLEASE

[thegreatyin]

this whole "dupe-glitching the scoundrel so they can have a crisis about watching their own doppelganger get everything they've ever dreamed of in their stead" affair is a great excuse to actually get around to. getting an empty mirrorcatch box. it's been like 1 million hours of fallen london and ive somehow never actually acquired one

[asleepinawell]

things i have already done:

all evolution, railway

paramount presence

discordance

horatio finest of his lineage

Put together an updated "canon" outfit for Mina!

Some details:

Clothing - Anarchist's Sable - What it says on the tin! A black/dark coloured suit is their preference for clothes, though lately they've been wearing 1920s/devil style dresses sometimes too.

Hat - The Gant Moth - Not actually a mask for them, its a charm on their pocketwatch!

Luggage - Gentleman's Self-Similar Carryall - Ideal for smuggling, but most of the time they don't have anything. When they're working in the Khanate, the tiny drawers and boxes are all full of tea leaves that they sell as part of their front.

Gloves - Censor's Touch - Little mithridacy bonus, for the spy work. And they're VERY soft.

Boots - Infiltrator's Footsteps - Nothing special here. Really, these aren't even shoes!

Adornment - Justificande Cufflinks - There's something to me about Mina and promises, debts, oaths, forgiveness... But this may be something to untangle on a future day.

Weapon - Nuncian Pocket Watch - Includes lockpicks and an entire knife (thanks to the red science). May also include a "lights out" function (thanks to January)

Companion - Violant-Winged Bat - From Nemesis. Still has to help Mina with their memories sometimes. Her name is Mnemonic (Short for "Mnemonic Device")

Affiliation - Dream Shadow of a Curator's Visage - That's just their buddy idk what to tell you.

Home Comfort - F.F. Gebrant's Patent Neathoscope - Vital tool for a Neathy physicist

Ship - Nyx-class Zubmersible - Switched to this from the Yacht during Feast of the Zee this year, as a sort of... slight shift of persona. Leaning more into their spymaster vibes.

Crew - A Conspiracy of Smugglers - Even though this comes from the Midnight Moon, I imagine that for Mina, this is just the Clay Highwayman's gang.

"yeah i should continue making your name and the light fingers ambition and also SMEN" says rinja and gets distracted to this instead. thank you neathoscope for giving me my favorite neathbow colors though

I think it’s fitting that Arden’s first gaze into the Neathoscope was cosmogone.

I have played fallen London for years and I have no idea what this suncrabcrap refers to.

I did assemble a neathoscope yesterday, so maybe it's just a case of too much irrigo.

(This is my friend telling me about someone else)

sicko voice: hahaha... yesssss

what's funny about the amount of people I've influenced towards fallen london because of my suncrab posting is that. as much as suncrab is a huge lore spoiler for fallen london, it does not goddamn prepare you for FL in the slightest.

it's an undercurrent and the inciting incident, but... the forbidden ship is one of the least notable things going on in that cave.

[thebrazenshame]

and done

honestly i'm just kind of going back through some of the older and easier to obtain vanity qualities. next up? i actually kinda wanna get the neathoscope, but first i should probably investigate a certain scheme

[lumelton]

my cursed pride flag is complete

[that-giorgione]

You’re laughing…

It ate Gerbrandt’s patent Neathoscope and you’re laughing

smh at 'yellow coals' CLEARLY the writers failed to have perfect recall of the marvellous ending of HD where mr hearts' eyes are explicitly described as 'red as the murder of kings'. shameful.

[vonlipvig]

oh i love the neathoscope! what a cool way to have all the neathbow colors and meanings in one place!

[thegreatyin]

actually wait no scratch that. i wanna assemble the neathoscope first and foremost. the neathoscope sounds fun

i think once i finish railway and obtain The Inescapable Ubiquity of your Countenance™ the scoundrel's next major life goal will be getting a hellworm. not because they particularly need one or anything. it'd just be a fun vanity to hang on the proverbial trophy collection
