Yep it’s that time of the year again. I think I still have some leftover items from last year’s Feast of the Rose.
Personally, this year is a bit disappointing for me. No new Masquing gifts to collect, no new Nuptial fantasies and while the Platonic Partner in Crime being upgraded is nice, Amelia Whitlock unfortunately does nothing for me. I was rather hoping November could become an option as a spouse, since her comrade September got so much more attention and she deserves more exposition imo.
I am rather looking forward to the new Companions, though, especially the Diatomist and the Efficient Commissioner.
Hi! If anyone would send me any non-fate masquing gifts I’ll be happy to match them back. x
Enjoy the Feast of Roses, Delicious Friends!

I’m glad to see the Entrepreneur’s storyline get a follow-up. Not a vast amount of content, but it’s fascinating to see what type of artwork can be completely alien. I hope this continues to see expansions over time.
Also that landscape painter is really shaping up to be a terrible villain and I hope he doesn’t ruin everything.
Hey guys, first Feast for me, will try to always reciprocate any gift!
Anyone who gave me a gift shall receive a gift in return.
From what I can remember from last year’s Feast, this is a gist of what must be done:
-
Send/receive gifts to your contacts, making gifts will use up expendable items (which newbies might not have too many of).
-
Wait for the Feast card to appear on your deck, select the correct option to receive 1 or 2 Masquing. Dependent on Airs of London, some options require chance for success. Check the wiki.
-
One week later, use your Masquing to redeem a companion. Non-Fate players can only accumulate up to a max of 30 Masquing.
By the way, congratulations to those whose Christmas Noman has survived till today. Now you can get that tattoo.
Sadly, no. Unless I’m mistaken, you need to wait until the 10th for Milicent’s parlour to open in the Forgotten Quarter.
Let’s have a good one lads, don’t think I attened the event for like, four years now ! My inbox stays open for everyone, even if I am not always as active as I’d like.

if you send me something i’ll try to match it for you
This is my first Feast of the Rose - I’ll try to reciprocate any gift!
Lavish me in rose-gifts. I’ll return the favour. And if I like you, perhaps even more.

I can send gifts of other nature (a question or two, perhaps?) to those who send me gifts of the season.
Even though my account is pretty old, this is my first "real" time doing this since I ended up leaving and only came back recently. I’ll try to match if there’s no fate involved!
Happy to send gifts of all kinds. However, if you want to exchange FATE gifts, send me a message (either here or in game)
