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 left for a few minutes to bring Rebecca's coaches to the platform, and when I came back, one well-wagon was across two tracks and had taken down a signal pole!” Almond laughed.

“James has been here how long, and he still doesn't know how to shunt?” Billy grunted.

“Longer than I have.” Hermes chuckled.

Sebina rolled her eyes.

“He always tells me how I'm 'too small to be of any use’,” she huffed. “Where's that energy when he has to shunt his own trucks?”

“Fair play, Sebina,” Hermes reminded, “you and I were built for shunting. He wasn't.”

“What was he built for, anyway?” Sebina retorted. “With how many wrecks he gets into on a yearly basis, I'd think he was meant to be someone's stunt-double.”

Almond and Hermes laughed.

“Honestly, we should probably have extra shunters in most yards like this, so someone can bring the rescue crews when James in particular crashes spectacularly again.” Sebina went on.

“Y'know,” Almond began, “you might be about to get your wish.”

A big, dark green tank engine pulled up nearby. The letters 'NW’ on his cab sides implied he was more than just another visiting engine.

“Hey there!” Almond greeted. “I take it you're new around here?”

“I am.” The engine said, in an almost rigid tone.

“I'm Almond. The girl in the tan and gold is Sebina, the green saddle tank to my left is Hermes, and next to him in the orange is Billy.”

“Heya,” Sebina smiled.

“Hello,” Hermes chimed.

“'Sup,” Billy said.

“Understood.” The new engine said, firmly. “My name is Orpheus. This is Vicarstown Yard, correct? I've been told I'll be working with you all.”

“Sounds good!” Almond smiled. “I'll show you where we put everything.”

Orpheus nodded, then followed as Almond set off to show him around the yards.

“So,” Hermes addressed his fellow saddle tank engines, “what do you two make of him?”

“He seems eager to work,” Sebina began.

“But he seems a little… I dunno, emotionless?” Billy added.

“It’s probably just because he’s new.” Hermes said. “I’m sure he’ll lighten up after he gets to know us.”

My arcana oc!!!

I'm really proud of him!

I've had him through some really rough times and I almost disregarded him and completely but I made some friends who actually support me and are interested in my interests.

And I actually had fun drawing.
