The Exceptional Story for September is here!
A taciturn barber in Veilgarden offers to cut more than just his patrons' hair. Where did he get his comb and scissors from? Are you brave enough to sit in the Barber of Hollow Street's chair?
The Heretic of Hollow Street is the first story in the Season of Propinquity, and was written by Harry Tuffs. In this season you will experience three stories of affinity, proximity (for good or ill), and the ties that bind.
Begin with the Season of Propinquity card available throughout London.
Editing and QA: James Chew and Olivia Wood
Art: Paul Arendt
Exceptional Friendship
In addition to a new, substantial, stand-alone story every month, Exceptional Friends enjoy:
- Access to the House of Chimes: an exclusive private members’ club on the Stolen River, packed with content
- An expanded opportunity deck: of ten cards instead of six!
- A second candle: Twice the actions! 40 at once!
Finishing all three stories in the Season of Bargains will make you eligible for an additional opportunity, to follow.
If you want to keep an Exceptional Story beyond its release month, you must complete the related storylet in the current Season’s card. This will save it for you to return to another time.

Sometimes, the stories seem to be aimed solely at people who have a deep knowledge of the most arcane lore. Occasionally, this works: it gets you involved at a personal story, while hinting at greater mysteries. This time though, the NPCs were unlikable, and making an ethical decision cut you out of huge parts of the story - the ones that offered some kind of explanation, or at least lore.
I loved the idea behind the story, the rat and the sleepy cleaning ladies; all great, very FL concepts. But the expedition left you hanging, you never learn what was won, you do not get a glimpse of the Queen, nothing. Plus, I understand choices leading you down different paths but once more, kind choices cut you off the story itself - even the little bits you get if you forego reason or magnanimity. I get eschewing rewards, but eschewing the story you have been waiting for a month? Not fun.

[spoiler]Having two powerful female figures who use dreams to fulfill their goals and to be in conflvit with the Masters over them seems like too much a coincidence, but I'll suppose we'll have to see down the line.
I'm further emphasizing that I believe Carrywell to be the Red Handed Queen as this story mentions her affiliations with surgeons and Carrywell was shown to run a sanatorium by Venderbight in Ambition: Nemesis.[/spoiler]
Does anyone else agree with that?

Lovely story so far, not enjoying it one bit though. Essentially, I have to do something I (and Jolanda) believe to be bad just to be able to play the story.
I don't know, I fell that the actual choice for me is
a) don't play this month's ES
b) play it in a completely detached manner, so you can at least get the lore, writing etc (which, so far, is good).

The good Professor was hoping that the Nepethean razor would perhaps allow him to cut out seven memories he'd rather not have - perhaps at a cost comparable to how he got his flesh restored and how he unstained what remained of his soul.
But in lieu of that, great story and lots of appropriate characterization opportunities for a mad scientist not particularly burdened by ethical considerations.

There's a few text changes (like knowing the Glassman is a fellow Glassman) but nothing major.
I think Red-Handed Queen is going to be important for upcoming stories in the game (looks at various Ambitions...), so FBG are slowly putting her in more content so that she's not a total surprise to people when she finally turns up in the non-ES content.

I enjoyed this story up until the end, where I misclicked at a major choice and ruined my experience. Thought I was asking the Glassman for advice, but no, I had the story choice open by mistake. Ah well, I can only blame myself.

Pretty sure last month's story wasn't about her at all.
[spoiler]
Remember, the theory that last month's story was about the Red-Handed Queen started because someone misinterpreted the hints referencing October. While the October = Queen theory is interesting, there was very little to support it, and I think this month's story torpedoes the idea. Not only does October recruit in person, while the Queen seemingly recruits via her dream avatar, the reference to the Queen's agents being surgeons doesn't match up with October at all.

You didn't do anything wrong, or lose any bits of knowledge. Some ES are like that: you stumble upon a tragedy, you witness something beyond your ken. I believe that players of Ambition:Nemesis got a bit more out of that than the rest of us, given that they had met the Queen before.

Wish that were true, but no. I am playing Nemesis, and I got nothing significantly different than what is described in this thread. I got the (probably mistaken) impression that the Queen in question was the Queen of the Rosers.

[spoiler]
I’m interested in the motives of everyone involved in this story. As far as I can tell, everyone here has some ulterior motive and a connection to the factions of Parabola as a whole. As such, here are my guesses:
* The Cloying Surgeon, the Sweepers, and the Barber: servants of the Queen; it seems her goal is to shepherd the Razor from the real world to that of dreams and as her agents they fulfilled this. As far as I can tell, this is the only gain she gets from the ‘expedition’- tools she couldn’t access herself. The Rat seems to be mesmerized by the Queen, or truly one of her servants.
*The Glassman: The Glass, trying to stop the Queen. He attempts to stop the Expedition before it even begins.
*The Locksmith: clearly possessed by a Fingerking, as shown when you cut his hair. My guess is, that while the Glass is trying to stop the Queen directly, the Fingerkings are playing the long game, trying to find out how the Queen benefited from the first Expedition. This shows a disconnect between the Glass and Fingerkings, where it seems that knowledgeable Londoners are aware of the Queen’s dangers, but the Fingerkings are not (matching the Barber’s description of the Queen as both their prisoner and Queen). The Locksmith, when freed, is clearly hostile to the Fingerkings (and the Glass), described as hiding from the Glassman due to knowing who he is. He also describes people’s actions as not their own, but a result of greater forces (akin to a Game of Chess, or possession by the Fingerkings)
*The Tiger: the Shroud, or the dream tigers. The final and most enigmatic entry in this lot. They appear once, describing their role in telling the Bazaar of the ruin that started this whole plot, where the Barber was saved from the Fingerkings by the Queen. On its face, the Tiger couldn’t have known about the Queen saving the Barber from the Fingerkngs, which meant it would have been driving the Barber to the Fingerkings and granting them a victory. As such, I believe the Tiger was fully aware of the Queen’s prescence. As such, it would seem this tiger, on the order of the rest of the Shroud or the rest of the tigers, is attempting to play the Queen against the Fingerkings. It adds an element of realpolitik to the Shroud (or should I say Ispolitik), showing they (or their allies) aren’t fully in it to protect the world (from the potential dangers of an entity like the Queen) but to defeat the Fingerkings by playing with the fire of the Red-Handed Queen.
Finally, as shown if favoring the Glassman, the Glassman gets his chest (a vital area) riddled with bullets by the Rodent, while the Chemist is shot in the jaw. And yet, the Glassman debriefed you in the end no worse for the wear, while the Chemist is noted to be explicitly healing from the wound he received. This may mean that the Fingerkings have some method of healing or immortality we don’t know about.

I'm a bit confused about what exactly happened in this ES. I think I may have selected the options that give the least amount of information possible
[spoiler] The first expedition to the Forgotten Quarter involved a sacrifice and the loss of the Barber's fingers, but I'm not sure what was gained. I got nothing from the Surgeon and I made the Chemist forget there ever was an expedition to begin with. I agreed to stop the Barber's plan, but I don't think I did and nothing came of that anyway. I smashed the Barber's tools but I'm not sure what the effect of that was, I feel like I probably shouldn't've. [/spoiler]

Monara, the top two entries here that deal with the Chemist and the tiger's small talk are the closest I came to uncovering what the sacrifice was about.

b) play it in a completely detached manner, so you can at least get the lore, writing etc (which, so far, is good).
I relate to this. Rambling below.
[spoiler]
As soon as the zailor started freaking out about why she'd even wanted the memory removed after I'd been on the fence about cutting it in the first place (Kat initially decided the generic horrors were more fine to dispose of than people's choices), I decided these idiots can all live with their baggage like the rest of us. Without the ability to research the objects that were the most interesting part of the story nor investigate the barber, I almost instantly wanted to destroy them and throw them in his face. The barber wouldn't even tell me what he's about, this clandestine meeting guy is similarly obtuse with who he is and what he wants beyond "don't", I can't investigate any of it, and I'm supposed to just cut these people's memories out for... who, exactly? And why? In this economy? So: no, thank you. They can all sit and stew in it. And luckily, that was an option.
Unluckily, all my antagonism was met with little to no reaction. I didn't ultimately rat him out to the guy who, turns out, is a member of the Glass (though I wanted to), simply out of spite because my character is Shroud. That felt like the most interesting choice I made in the whole story because I half-understood the lore of it and how that might influence my character. I thought snitching to the glass before the expedition would also swing a guillotine down on the story before I'd even tried to learn *something*, and why would this glass guy tell me more about the situation once I've already given him everything he wants? He never offered anything in exchange for the information nor was he clear about his plans - if I'm meant to have a "conscience" to help him then he needs to actually offer proof that he's got one, too, otherwise I'm just pinballing around from one fresh faced deviant's schemes into the arms of another. It feels like a trap - the kind of choice you make just to get lectured about how gullible you were for making an uniformed choice (because the story won't *let* you be informed) and ~every side is really just the same~. But I haven't read journals, so I can't say if that's how it truly shook out here or if that's just my deep FL paranoia kicking in.
So I ultimately ended up being the only one besides the barber and the rat-become-spiders to enter the mirror. I'm not sure why the player character was allowed to accompany him with these choices under their belt for nine passive click-throughs that led to one choice, to do the thing I wanted to do from the beginning and snap his tools in his face, which ultimately led to... ... ...what, we don't know besides "she'll be angry with me". Besides that, he says about four sentences of dialogue and then I had to turn heel and leave him there.
I do appreciate at the beginning having a "why are you doing this" type of storylet, because I constantly asked myself that when there was little to no adventure and the barber was tight lipped. The amount of scandal reduction was nowhere near worth it to Kat to stick around but the alternative is her leaving and me not finishing the ES which is an irl punishment. I thought the choice of motivation might be used against me later by the barber as blackmail, especially considering my actions toward his schemes, but no. Even telling the barber's friend about his plans in ear shot and snapping his tools cause no reaction when I'd at least hoped for some explosive-rage-expressed lore before being dis-invited and shown the end.

Are there any material rewards for this story? The ending I received has left me a tad confused. Hoping I didn't take a wrong turn at some point.
I believe at some point near the end, maybe when I persuaded the Chemist to turn back, it gave out an Searing Enigma. I just checked my possessions and didn't find any unique items for this ES now.
[spoiler]
Anyway, the story appears a bit confusing to me, by which I mean not the story itself, but the way the writer is telling it. For example I cut the Chemist's memory as soon as he mentioned the expedition, but then I still have options to ask about sacrifice and so on. But there were no answers so I had to guess what happened. It's not very hard to guess, but it barely suits the plot later, in which my character seemed to know everything so clear...
Also, the end. When I go through the ending part I was feeling like that's where it's about to approach the climax, like confronting Carrywell or staging a big escape, but it ended so fast... I understand that the player's character can't always be the leading role, but this end would be a waste of the great design of the Sweepers and the Rodent. I really liked that Rodent.
Oh and, I'm a Glassman. Besides the difference of text when talking to the other Glassman, there's also an additional option when looking into the mirror that says you recognised the Fingerkings. The art is that of Direful Reflection.[/spoiler]
Would you happen to have a link to echoes for those alternate options?
I've got a screenshot here.
The icon next to the GO button says it's unlocked by the profession Glassman. The option text says something like "you're familiar with these snakes", but I didn't screenshot that.

I found this story absolutely brilliant! Definitely goes down as one of my favourite ES ever. Might buy it again later on another account. Outside of Chandler Groover's epics, I don't think I enjoyed playing an ES this much ever since - oh, probably since The Stone Guest, which means ever since Cash De Cuir (who was my favourite writer on the team) was let go.
I thought the mechanics especially were absolutely flawless in this one. In fact, I'd put it up as a near-perfect example of how to set up an interactive story. At no point was I uncertain about anything and - even more importantly for a role-player like me - at no point was my character forced to do anything totally atypical. Why? Because there were always enough options to choose from. Even right at the beginning, where I'm supposed to apply for a barber's position - a rather unusual step for my more academically-interested character - I was given a whole list of possible reasons, like needing to hide from Scandal or Suspicion, or - I especially liked and chose that one - having seen the Barber's face in a dream. These little things matter! I still remember that moment in The Murgatroyd Formula where I was forced to watch my completely nonviolent, pacifist character all-of-a-sudden physically attacking someone - with no other option to be taken. That moment significantly marred a story I otherwise liked. I guess the fact I still remember it shows how much these things matter to me. Obviously, surprising things can and should happen to your character in an interactive story - but give me agency over how to react to the surprise event! In this story, I always felt I had agency over my character's actions. Especially the way the memory-cutting sessions were executed, where you could decide step-by-step how far to go, where to stop etc.
The story itself was very enjoyable, too. The suspense never let up right until the end, and there were lots of funny little things on the side like the dozing sweepers or the Enterprising Urchin moving up the career ladder.
I'd like to read the echoes of someone who let the Barber's Second Expedition happen - I stopped it in its tracks.
I'm so glad we finally get some hints about the Bloody-Handed Queen - one of the game's oldest mysteries!
[spoiler]Something I'm still puzzling about is that Tiger who drops by to casually let you know they were the one who originally set the Barber on the quest in the FQ. Quite unintentionally, of course. I don't really believe that since, as we all know, tigers lie. But they could not have known the Queen would get involved in the first place, meaning they were essentially serving the expedition to the Fingerkings on a silver platter. Why would they do that? Is there a more devious scheme behind all this? Or was that tiger really wagging its tongue a bit too much all those years ago, and now saw an opportunity for damage control?[/spoiler]

So my choices:
[spoiler]
I trained enough to become a truly masterful barber before cutting even one customer's hair, removed the zailor's memories sparingly, removed just the memory of the sacrifice from the Chemist, removed no memories at all from the Surgeon (and told him the truth), pried into the Locksmith's beliefs about the Barber's motives (and then removed his memory of that speculation). I removed no memories from any other customers. I interrogated the Barber about his allegiance to the Red-Handed Queen before agreeing to accompany him. I told the bespectacled "man" everything about the Barber, but did not have him intervene before we entered Parabola. The Surgeon, of course, did not come with the rest of his former friends. Once in Parabola, I persuaded the Chemist to turn back (because, unlike the Philosopher, he did not know what was happening.) Unfortunately, later text still referenced his presence. When the Barber asked for his tools back before leading them in for the sacrifice, I broke both the Scissors and the Knife. He was disappointed, but not dismayed, and took the Philosopher and the Chemist(!?) into the ruin (presumably to their deaths). I returned to London with the Comb, to find the barbershop abandoned and deserted.
Things I don't know:
Can you get the Surgeon to Parabola? What DID they get in exchange for the sacrifice? What happens if you have the Glassman stop the expedition?

Damn, quite a moral conundrum for the Great Pigmeat. On the one hand, he believes a memory, especially a terrible one, shapes a person's character and cutting it away is akin to destroying someone's identity.
On the other hand, power is The Great Pigmeat's weakness. It intoxicates him and it would not be in his character to wield power and not use it.

I never got to discover what it was they got in exchange for the sacrifice. Is it possible to find out?
I chose to interrupt the expedition the first time, and now that I have seen what happens if you don't I can't recommend interrupting it to anyone. The text/lore for doing the expedition is totally worth it even if it's probably the evil choice. Interrupting leads to a very abrupt ending and you miss out on the [spoiler]parabola/red handed queen[/spoiler] stuff.

Not necessarily, given how we once had three consecutive stories indirectly about the Thief-of-Faces and we never really got more than fragmentary lore about him (her? It?).
That said, I would certainly hope for more lore in this direction. The last several fate stories have been really fruitful about digging into the more mysterious parts of the lore - the Stone Pigs, the Boatman, and now the Red-Handed Queen.
