A Christmas card exchange thread!

Decided to make one of these, as these cards are all gain and no pain!

So, everyone who played advent day 1, has got Christmas cards! Even in the midst of being surrounded by all sorts of horrors of mild inconvenience, you should always appreciate your delicious friends!

And now, for Christmas there's a way to do just that! Sending cards! 7 free ones every week, to send to all your dearest friends and nemeses! What do they do? They give the sender points in a major Stat and making waves, and the recipient second chances, more making waves and lots of points towards the next level for their four main stats!

So, in the spirit of gift giving, I'm creating this Thread here! Do you want to appreciate a friend, maybe participate in charity? Then give your name down below and someone is sure to send a card!

[Ps: here's mine(https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Tekstudo) ]

Another Neathy Christmas Upon Us...

The advent Calendar is open, once more! The ability to gain things for free, how...revolutionary...

Anyways, It's that time of year once more! The doors of advent open, and merriment spills unto the streets! Alongside a side of peril and danger, also lots of snow..

This month kicks off with the start of the Advent Calendar, A storylet that gives new goodies for every day that passes! Ranging from stuff like horrible nightmare inducing information to really merry soul melting snow and candled rats, all sorts of rewards are available. Do remember, that you can play the calendar fully through even if you miss a day, but playing each card on the day it first becomes available gives extra goodies!

And also, remember, very soon you'll be able to purchase buckets of almost-snow. What do they do? That's a story for a bit later in the month, just collect them is all I'll say.

Above all, enjoy a very merry, fallen london Christmas! And do send some cards over, it's always lovely having new, delicious friends...

If you're looking for something specific, you could just browse the information of people who have already posted and make them a contact and/or you could simply make a post of your own.

Additional information, like stats or a brief statement, if you're a PoSI, etc. would be welcome, if you like. Timezone + hours played could be helpful for those looking for someone active during the same time they are.

Was there a way to get both the detective and the murderer?

Obvious spoilers.

Was there a way for both Miss Petal and Immaculate Intellect to be caught by the Constables?

3 random questions for your character: Inconvenienced by your aunt edition

A medium sized crocodile tells me that these few days are trying times for some, as said some are being subjected to inconveniences caused by their aunts and other relatives.

"If you have a diverting question post, shoot it."

So here I am, with a question post!

Alright, here we go:

  1. Aside from your character's aunt and possibly a few devils, is there anyone else pestering them in the Neath?
  2. Just how do they manage to repel unwanted attention? (Escaping incognito when they spot a suspicious shadow? Jump out of the window when someone knocks? Wisely hire a colleague of mine for professional help?)
  3. When they make it out undetected and have to spend a few hours/days/weeks elsewhere for the inconvenience to pass, where are they redirecting their mails to/ Where are they seeking their temporary sanctuary?

Do not looking for knowledge

I am definitely not trying to learn some particular language. There is just nothing to study here.

So if you can not to send me a specific letter, then I definitely can't be found at this address

If you would not do that I definitely wouldn't be deeply grateful

Can someone explain the Discordance storyline to me?

So, I've finished studying discordance after breaking all the seals (including seal no. 0) but I fear I might not have known enough lore or perhaps paid attention to the wrong things and I have absolutely no idea what actually happened and I'm still not exactly clear on what Discordance actually is.

https://www.fallenlondon.com/profile/Filius%20Luporum - proof that I actually got to the ending of the storyline. I know there's some sort of embargo on sharing information on discordance to prevent spoilers so even a private message would be appreciated

Can devils walk on the surface?

I know sunlight is deadly to many in the Neath, but what about Devils? Could a devil walk on the Surface?

Edit: I'm trying to figure out the backstory of my character, and my first idea was that she fell in love with a devil and one day he disappeared so she went to the Neath to try and find him. But I wasn't sure if that would even be possible. So if they can't go directly to the surface, if it would it be possible for a halfway solution? Like maybe she stumbled upon a cave that has a secret tunnel to the Neath and within that cave was how she met him. And she would continue to meet him there until he stopped appearing, so she decided to venture further into the cave until she entered the Neath.

Does discarding an opportunity card mean that it's gone for good?

Pretty much as the title says. I accidentally discarded a card and am wondering if it's possible to draw it again later or if I will never see it again.

Question for crooked crosses

If there is any crooked-crosses, can you explain why you picked them, and what is the point? I mean, i just can't get a grip on their agenda, from my point of view the situation with T3 Profs looks something like this.

  1. Hotline-Miami-esque guys who murder people because funny gant-list, no questions asked (which may or may not be Master thingy for love stories, seasoned by a little violence)
  2. Spectacled guys who walk the dream land of Parabola like golf-course and using mirrors like it's a mere door, doing some business with people, who can't do that themselves
  3. Monster-hunters who hunt monsters (nuff said)
  4. Fiery guys who research literal burning language of gods, altering methaphysics with correspondence-based techniques (They can translate b____y light, also, can't get cooler than that)
  5. Mysterious guys who absolve sins of spies in hidden shrines, moving the great game for the sake of it and playing with amnesia of Irrigo
  6. Tricky guys who trick and corrupt people for uhhhhhhhĥ, well, here is my problem, i can't point why they are doing it and for who, so this is why i am asking for your explanation for silly me.

A question about the Case of the Missing Comb

About the end of the case specifically, so stop reading if you want to avoid spoilers.

They’re gone? Ok, good.

!What the fuck has she done to her? I thought for a second she changed her into a hellworm, but the lack of fur and the size doesn’t match. Maybe she’s in the process of transforming? Any theories?!<

December's Exceptional Story: A Dinner to die for - unOfficial Discussion Thread

The Immaculate Intellect sets about searching for anything that should not be here: in this house, that could be almost anything.

Few get to enjoy the pleasure of watching a great detective at work up close. Fewer still get to do so while attempting to evade the attentions of a murderous mastermind. Happily, this evening, you'll get to do both: lucky you. Join the Surface's finest mind as he attempts to expose the rot at the heart of London's most enigmatic address.

Wine, dine, uncover conspiracies and unmask murders. Try to survive till the cheese course.

Stuck in Exceptional Story

Hey, I was going through the new Exceptional Story, when I reached a page I can't get out of.

The title of the page is "A Gruesome Discovery", and there is no option at all I can click on.

Any idea what the deal here is? I tried logging out and restarting.

Candlefinder - Lost the trail of the story

Something I'm running into in both Candlefinder stories is that it will be moving along, story is good, and then the setting changes. That's fine, if you have some clue as to where it went, "We need to investigate this mug from the Krusty Krab!" means I need to go to Bikini Bottom, right? But several times it has just disappeared with no clear pointer. I was able to find it previously just by clicking around blindly and testing different areas, but this time I'm stumped completely. I imagine I just overlooked an area (or a clue), but I can't figure out which one it was for the life of me. Any help would be welcome.

(Spoilers below are for the Puppet story).

!I am trying to find the Granite Gallery. The foreman at the docks told me to find a clay man there, and I feel like I've clicked every link four times, but nothing. I thought, since it is a ruin inhabited by a clay man, that it would either be in the Forgotten Quarter or the Clay Quarters, but no.!<

Unpopular opinion: I would love to live in the FL universe

Okay, say what you will about the Fallen London universe, say what you will about the Masters, but I would adore living in that reality. Why? Simple.

No one gives a fuck if you're queer.

Seriously. Like, no one cares. You can be nonbinary in this game. You can use it/its pronouns in this game. You can do gay marriage in this game. It doesn't affect the citizens of London at all. They're more concerned about the squid people than you being queer.

I would thrive in the Fallen London universe.

No Missive Required

Greetings. I find that I have not joined the ranks of those who are in no need of a certain missive. I would not be grateful if someone were to assist.
