Saint Dunstan’s Sacristy, c 1899 (2)

I’m late on this, apologies. None of these came out quite right (but these were some that I liked best), then I was trying to figure out if the new version MidJourney might help... then I realised I hadn’t even gotten to 2500 Spirit of Hallowmas & spent a frantic while trying to do that before the end.

BUT! This is what I got & I like to think it captures the venue as much as I can. From the beginning prep, the dark revels, the slip out of the carved doors into the night past a handsome devil, to the end of festivities. An empty place & people fleeing into the dark.

I have The Roof Below as well, but I couldn’t stop it from adding a load of light. Then I couldn’t get the “water” to be amber. BUT, I just got it tonight & will post the best ones in a few days. 

Thanks for another great Hallowmas @failbettergames

Hey... guess what time it almost is in London?

HALLOWMAS! I am excited. I love Hallowmas in Fallen London. Even though you can get neat affiliations at the end, provided you did enough for that “spooky faction,” I always even up a moth (nightmares). There was talk last year that the Queen of Air & Darkness would not be attending London’s Hallowmas this year & would instead be rotated out for one of the others (since we now have four & only three spots in London for venues). 

If there is no Pavillion of Butterflies this spooky season, I will probably end up a demon or a crown. Or... maybe there will be a new faction in town!?

That would be exciting... though 4 menaces probably means four factions. Alas. (Or maybe 6 locations for 6 kinds of confessions? That could be fun...)

While there is a description of the Pavillion several places during the event, telling an AI ONLY that gets you some... well, greenhouses. But explaining who’s INSIDE the Pavillion? Gets you much cooler greenhouses. Adding extra touches (victorian era, architects, interior or exterior, etc) makes the outcome even neater. However, it also makes my brain start wondering how other people see the Pavillion in their mind's eye. Do the candles give it a warm glow or do you think it’s all tinted a bit red because the Queen is there? Or maybe the colour is based on the butterflies inside? Perhaps it’s just an ordinary greenhouse, only made extraordinary by the festivities? 

Feel free to send a message or comment (or reblog) & let me know how you see it. I’d honestly love to know! Also, Hallowmas is my favourite Neathy holiday! So, if you want to share in the excitement, I’d love to see your posts about that too!

(If you want any other locations done, let me know... I get distracted easily by AI ideas & forget to finish my Fallen London prompts. @failbettergames)
