River in a box?

M. Thackeray, who also has a quote from Vanity Fair, which with some letters removed is quoted by a rubbery man. The rubbery card after that rubbery man will have a long series of gurgles that are all English words missing one letter, and the missing letters spell out "When Iron meets Candle" and we all storm the Docks as a large group of Name Seekers to sacrifice Mr Iron upon a funeral pyre to be gifted mirrored boxes by the Calendar Council simultaneously sparking off a revolutionary war. -- http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Hefty~Harrison

memorysquid Posts: 49 3/7/2013	With only 11, and then in short order an additional 3, people getting the Mirrorcatch box, it stands to reason that rather than being some really odd thing to do or unique configuration of equipment, perhaps it is just something that has only recently become possible to do, in addition to being somewhat obscure. How many people have tested any interactions between their new pets and their in game counterparts? Or maybe just an extra option on a rare card or early content location, unlikely to be frequented by those with Connected the Masters, and therefore without a River in a Box? Just throwing these out, although the first hypothesis might be a little too easy given the tiny percentage of people with one. -- StoryNexus Name: Kevin Wagner

fareseries Posts: 16 3/7/2013	Possibilities for the place across the Unterzee where everything is forgiven: - Mutton Island: If anything, Mutton Island is a place where old and terrible grudges are nursed. - The Iron Republic: I don't think this is a place of anything of constancy, never mind forgiveness. - Bullbone Island: It's devoid of human life. Probably not here. - Corpsecage Island: Ditto. - Grunting Fen: Ditto. - Grunting Fen: Ditto. - Hunter's Keep, the Sea of Voices, Polythreme: These are at least within the realm of possibility. I don't think any of them are specifically forgiving, but they're not obviously a bad fit either. Polythreme would fit with the mention of Clay Men yesterday, too. - The Tomb-Colonies: I think this is the most likely possibility. You don't get to them via your own ship, but one possible way of getting yourself exiled makes reference to you getting on board a ship to go there. A rare opportunity card there, or one with specific requirements to show up, would stay hidden for quite a while (especially with everyone trying to stay away during the Feast to pick up Masquing).

memorysquid Posts: 49 3/7/2013	Language is so ambiguous, isn't it? "Thinking outside the box" can either be a figurative recommendation to be unconventional or might just be literally telling us to stop obsessing over the River in a box in the search for the Mirrorcatch.

I'm a non-PoSI, so if that's a requirement, I'm still locked out, but still...nice to know it's still possible. Exactly how low-level?

This might be like the robes from Christmas. I got 2 dolls and a maggot with a rose. I'm a bit short on Fate right now. I haven't even seen the card that lets you get the new companions. That's interesting. I received a few of the 5 Fate items only, as I too am short of Fate. But if you got a Box and haven't even seen the Encounter at the Feast card, that means that receipt of a box has nothing to do with whether you've acquired a new Companion. Perhaps it's related to the amount of Masquing you have? I have 32 right now. -- Cathy Raymond http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/cathyr19355 Catherine Raymond aka Mrs. Rykar Malkus http://fallenlondon.com/Profile/Catherine%20Raymond (Gone NORTH)
