The late 1800s were a time where a lot of shanghaiing was going on and the Neath strikes me as a terribly perfect place for that— Shanghaiing was the practice of just, abducting people to force them to be sailors, it happened a lot in the USA and England. They needed sailors and, well, you take a drunk guy out to sea and he doesn't have any choice but work or die.

The Neath offers a concerning possibility where a Surface sailor could abduct sailors, pass them off to a Neathly partner, and kill those who had been shanghai'd— trapping them not only in service at zee, but also eternally to the Neath... Imagine waking up after a drunken night to learn you were taken to the underworld, killed, and now had to zail on a zee of monsters with no hope of ever returning home.

Introducing Wesley Okehurst, my incarnation of the Census Distributor!

Browser game/Bag a Legend version will come later

Wesley starts as a skittish fellow - who could blame him, really? The fall of London took quite a toll on him, and he lacked confidence when it came to using his new name. But getting out of the attic and starting his work for the Ministry brought him out of his shell.

As has becoming rather fond of the company of both Griz and Mr. Pages.

I used the cameo maker by @polekands for this! Yet again! It's just really good!

oh my goodness i never posted this, kicks this out of my drafts..... @little-red-notebook made a comment about Peter mistaking one of Sam's reflections for Sam and going up to kiss him before realising his mistake, and what an amazing thought.... I feel like his normal reflection would be pretty chill about it but the silent partner never made it to Dating, HE WOULD BE SO CONFUSED. Also he is the reflection entity least able to quickly correct this mistake. Sorry I'm just so entranced by having an Even More Sopping Wet Samuel

[reading the contrarian lore in the fl ttrpg corebook preview] hey what if i cry

[shazzbaa]

LMAO im so glad you asked. Samuel has been making very safe and professional expeditions into the Moulin Wastes!! where he definitely doesn't forget to keep an eye on how many supplies they need to get home and he also certainly hasn't been abusing his shapeling arts abilities to travel through impossible spaces so much that the Wastes are trying to reshape him. OBVIOUSLY!!!

The text for getting extra eyes makes it sound like they'll probably eventually disappear on their own, and Sam's abilities could probably cover an eye pretty easily, but it's fun if resisting the Waste's alterations is a little above his paygrade... Maybe he can ask some rubberies to help him fix this eventually, but for now he's just wearing a hat with a brim and hoping it's not too obvious.

He ALSO got a thing that makes you GLOW WITH VIRIC LIGHT around the same time, which for Sam specifically probably makes his scales stand out a lot more than usual? So anyway he's been doing fine. Just head on back to London, mate. Nobody will notice.

So, did Sam enjoy the circus? (the horrible clown ES, my beloved)

Samuel had a great time at the circus. :) until he wasn't having a great time at the circus.....

Honestly Sam felt a little... bad? about this, though I don't think he'd choose differently in the end. This ancient denizen of the Neath that truly seemed to be trying to understand and play nice with humanity, but couldn't take "no" for an answer, was someone he would really like to have found some way to compromise with but ultimately had to reject and oppose. The Dreamer's conflicted deliberation sounded less like someone encountering a thing they want, but it's Weird, and more like someone justifying a subpar choice because its attainable. "But if everyone is happy and truly wants this, then maybe it's fine?" was a much harder sell to someone who's seen the Orphanage. Sam never found out why everyone working the circus was so ecstatic to be here, and that's really the most unsettling part.

I've seen both endings of this story and I REALLY like that both feel unsettling, but potentially??? good -- just, one is more Neathy than the other. You have to accept that this strange, eldritch arrangement could possibly be a nice outcome in order to feel good about installing the little rat as the ringmaster, and you have to sympathise with the Rapture-in-Witness to even consider it. Samuel sympathised, but he could not in good conscience encourage that bargain.

Anyway I regret making him say no to volunteering to be a beast. I don't know if it's anything other than a little bit of different text, but I think he should've considered it lmao

Mitts and their very good pal Gregory from the fic @irrigos has been writing: Manual Selection

[autumnbrambleagain]

This may be inefficient, a bad idea, and genuinely far too much, but none of you are thinking about how funny this will be.

[city-in-the-high-pines]

I see you're finally important enough for trains.

[autumnbrambleagain]

Who's to tell me no, now?
