One thing I especially loved about the new Fallen London substantial story "A Dream of a Thousand Tails" is a huge reference to Nuncio, my all-time favourite place in Sunless Sea:

I'm still so much in love with this island where strange currents bring all undelivered mail to shore. Thanks to @failbettergames for reminding me why.

PRELIMINARY ROUND (round .5), MATCHUP 2

[ID: The in-game images for the locations Nuncio and Port Cecil, from the game Sunless Sea. The letters "VS." are between them. End ID.]

Part 2 of the Sunless Sea portion of the preliminaries! Nuncio is a giant island of postpeople and rats (components of any good city), where all undeliverable letters wash ashore, and Port Cecil is an island on a coral archipelago, which means it's literally alive insofar as coral is alive! Also they're obsessed with chess so that's cool. Which of these weird cities from Sunless Sea should continue on?

Nuncio (Sunless Sea) or Port Cecil (Sunless Sea)?

Dear @failbettergames,

just wanna inform you that you can't describe a new companion with the words

an irrepressible streak of Post Office crimson

and n o t expect me to fall for her immediately.

Now please act responsibly and allow me to travel to Nuncio with her.

Quote of the day, 17 August: St. Teresa of Avila

Quote of the day, 17 August: St John of the Cross escaped from his prison cell in Toledo during the night of 17-18 August 1578. St Teresa describes his ordeal and her own feelings concerning “such a martydom … I experience the greatest envy.”

To Padre Jerónimo Gracián, MadridAvila, 21-22 August 1578 … I tell you that ever-present to me is what they did with Fray John of the Cross, for I don’t know how God bears with things like that; even you don’t know everything about it. For all these nine months he was held in a little prison cell where small as he is, he could hardly fit. In all that time he was given no change of tunic, even…

CANCIÓN DE ABRIL

Un fantasma, llegas; partes, un misterio. ¿Vienes de muy lejos? Pues ya el peral cuaja, florece el membrillo carmín.

Monjes y pinzones la ribera asordan. ¿Estás en los fresnos? ¿quizá entre tarajes? ¡Sombra¡ ¡ánima! ¡sueño! ¡di tú!

Cada año respingo con pálpito nuevo. Si llegas: sonrío; si te vas: ya suman mis lágrimas agrias dos más.

Hogaño... ¡ay, hogaño gozo traes contigo! ¿Lo escucho o me engaño, tal eco de otro eco? Sí, es tu canto. Lo oigo: «Cu... cu».

CANZONE D'APRILE

Fantasma tu giungi, tu parti mistero. Venisti, o di lungi? ché lega già il pero, fiorisce il cotogno laggiù.

Di cincie e fringuelli risuona la ripa. Sei tu tra gli ornelli, sei tu tra la stipa? ombra! anima! sogno! sei tu…?

Ogni anno a te grido con palpito nuovo. Tu giungi: sorrido; tu parti: mi trovo due lagrime amare di più.

Quest’anno… oh! quest’anno, la gioia vien teco: già l’odo, ο m’inganno, quell’eco dell’eco; già t’odo cantare Cu… cu.

Giovanni Pascoli
