For the current Fallen London event, the tigers (theres a whole tiger country outside of london, don't worry about it) are running a GRAND COMPETITION WITH GLORY AND RICHES FOR THE VICTORS that some frenzied investigation has revealed may or may not aCTUALLY SECRETLY BE SOME SORT OF?? SACRIFICE???? UNCLEAR. Anyway there's an option to make a lil protest sign and futilely warn people that the games are not what they seem, which Samuel immediately (a) attempted and (b) failed, resulting in him getting hassled and beat up by tigers. I love this game.

The Boisterous Author has found themself frequently trapped within their room at the Beth due to the frequent sending of packages from friends...
Well, there are worse reasons to be stuck there.

there once was a person whose teeth
chomped in fight rings of the Neath
they were lanky and tall
saw writing on a wall
and absorbed the nightmares it would bequeath

This is what Müller looks like nowadays. What a perfectly sane and normal captain! They are definitely in possession of all their marbles and have positive opinions on zailing and zee monsters.
Also, their Raven is co captain.
Please no spoilers of any kind in the tags!

Character sheet for my Fallen London OC, The Starry-Eyed Poetess 💫
This is just the start and some details may be changed later on. I'd also like to add more looks in the future.
btw I'd love to do more character design & sheets like this, my commissions are open for that too! :D

NIGHTMARES IS INCREASING...
Samuel is dealing with the horrors just fine! hes fine. just needs a lil laudanum to take the edge off. Just a little, tiny, several bottles of laudanum,
wheezes and collapses HI HELLO I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED..... THIS!!!!.... I don't know what possessed me to make this out of pixels but im v pleased with how it came out!!
[Everyone has been extremely cool abt this!! but just to be sure: no Fallen London spoilers/suggestions/hints in tags, replies, etc. please! I'm still in the middle of some of the stories referenced here and I'm excited to discover it all for myself! ]
Nightmare sources referenced here:
A small, velvet-lined box from Light Fingers
The coiling spire bit from Light Fingers
Poor Edward from Light Fingers
I Shot the Albatross from the southern wind zee dreams
and of course, the Comtessa
At some point during Light Fingers I finally grabbed some laudanum to help with nightmares before some zee trip or other, and discovered that once you're Important, taking laudanum gives you "A Less Than Laudable Laudanum Habit" and that the initial, normal result is locked once your habit gets over level three. Naturally, I HAD TO KNOW.... WHAT HAPPENED AT OTHER LEVELS.....
I'd also decided to finally do the rest of the Watchful MYN at University, which I'd already heard about from several friends as a place where you are constantly going insane from the mundane stress of just, like, uncooperative witnesses while trying to solve a murder. The timing ended up perfect -- Samuel just coming back from the horrors of the Orphanage in Light Fingers and Trying To Be Normal And Hold Down A Normal Job For A Bit, and maybe just a lil laudanum to keep it together for class, and when withdrawal is ratcheting up everything, some annoyances like "can't find info for your murder investigation" might just tip you over the edge,
hilariously he hit level 8 on the laudanum habit -- helpfully labelled "a wretched slave to the hellish stuff" and the point where it stops working altogether -- IMMEDIATELY before running into a step of light fingers where you have to get rid of all your nightmares before you can proceed. HAHA OOPS.
ANYWAY HE STILL HAS IT BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT, IT TAKES A REALLY REALLY LONG TIME, TO KICK A LAUDANUM HABIT...... i, uh, dont recommend giving urself a laudanum addiction but narratively im having a great time lmao

I’ve been playing Fallen London A LOT ever since I started a few days ago, and of course I’m fiddling around with my character’s design. I present to you one (unfinished) Doctor Emon Cavendish, an absolute asshat inquisitive soul who is very eager about seeing all the wonders and horrors (mostly the horrors) that the Neath has to offer
Oh btw, I have a questions for those who are more lore-savvy than me: would a big scar like the one on their face be something that is usually covered up in London? I know the tomb-colonists tend to wear bandages to cover up the damage that dying did to them but I’m not sure what the general consensus about facial scars is for those who aren’t dead (yet). Let me know in the tags, or in a DM, if you’d like!

Really, the awarness of the dream should have settled in sooner. There were many warning signs as Josephine approached her office - The fact that she couldn't quite recall what she was circling back for in the first place most notable among them.
October was ever so endeared towards the flair for the dramatics, and this moment was no expception. Even if she hadn't took her sweet time announcing her prescene, the graceful swell of falling leaves was enough of a giveaway.
If she sought to imidiate Professor Ashwood, she was about to be sorely disappointed.
At last, my little moment between Professor Ashwood and October has been completed. Textless version and the background on its own under the cut.
