Cat. Yes, cat, of course. Cats have a remarkable amount of secrets. They’re quite sneaky creatures. They could get into a Society party without an invitation by association with the Duchess alone. Ah, yes.
For unknown reasons, you decide to create your own version of Rubbery Lumps. What are they called and what are the ingredients you used to make them? And which faction do you think will enjoy them the most?
(( Every skin-suit? What does Ezkiel mean?))
Dirae Erinyes: “There’s a dish I’ve been working on for my own wife. It’s a wax candy with prisoner’s honey in the center. Not enough to send you into a full trance but enough to make you feel a bit dreamy. I’m still deciding on the best kind of wax - so far tallow wax has been preferred, but I need a larger taste testing by the niche audience.” Dirae Erinyes pauses for a moment
“Do Rubbery men like rubbery lumps? If not, what do they like to eat?”
shrug
Eli: Rubbery Men strike me as the type who would quickly suffocate if they ate anything too salty. And everyone who knows me knows I love to DESTROY my rubbery lumps with salt. Also, Rubbery Men don’t strike me as cannibals.
Question for you, coming straight from the underground,
Which of your senses could you live without?

"My sight. But not yet."
(Also, to answer Dirae’s question: "I think you will get the best result with beeswax. Lamplighter beeswax.")
New question: If you could have brought one book from the Surface with you to the Neath (and kept it), which book would it be?

I shall live until I am permanently dead! Which will be a very long time indeed. The Cider is just something I’ll happen to get on the side. I really shouldn’t worry about spending so much money.
The Neath has invented Laudanum, Tinctures of Vigour, and even Ablution Absolution. What sort of medicine will you make and what will it do?
"Rubbery men eat tiny white cave fish, but they occasionally eat what everyone else is eating at the dinner party, from what I’ve seen. I’ve seen them object to the sight of Rubbery lumps, but, in spite of the name, Rubbery lumps are made from zee creatures. The Rubbery people are not from the zee."
"I tried to bring A House of Pomegranates with me but it was confiscated. It still makes me angry."*
"For starters, something that isn’t alcoholic. I’d like to use the plants that grow under the Mountain’s light if I could, but there are obvious barriers there."
*I don’t actually know if this book can exist in Fallen London’s canon. Oscar Wilde didn’t die until 1900, and the game makes it sound like Mr. Pages killed him a long time ago.
So! A question. What is the most precious treasure in the Neath?
Universal antidote. Yes, even against Cantigaster Venom. It will take a while to land on the right recipe, I am afraid.
I am a big softie at heart.
If you were permanently killed and had a second chance to live in a non-human body, which species would you choose to live as?
Ezekiel: ANYTHING BUT WHAT AM RIGHT NOW
Question!
can you describe your last Saturday night using only onomatopoeia?
"Er… ‘crunch crunch,’ ‘zzzzz’?"
This question makes me laugh. I want to see someone else answer it.
Tip toe, creeeeeeek…shuffle…Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Clang, clang!
Thud thud THUD and a SLAM!
Who are you voting for?

"The book I took with me. It’s in my head."
"I may know to little about the making of medicine, but maybe a little to much about the effects they yield. If possible I’d import that new mild sedative the Bayer GMBH is producing. It’s rather pleasant when smoked with tobacco."
Ezekiel crackles loudly and kicks over a three-legged stool. "Voting for dead rat found floating in gutter yesterday. At least dead rat is honest and won’t get angry if eaten. NAMED DEAD RAT GILBERT, VOTE FOR GILBERT. kkhrraaa POLITICS
Uh, What do you use your Ablution Absolution for, exactly? I sometimes use it to clean my sink drain.

I just pour it out and barely hide the empty bottles. The message is understood well enough.
The Seekers have had a resurgence as of late. What do you think drives people to such pointless self-destruction?

A horrible, horrible boredom of the macabre mundane of London. The poor sods could just visit my shop, but no! They must embark on ‘DANGEROUS JOURNEYS’ to ‘DISCOVER THE TRUTH’. It feels as if I am back in the days I wrote books.
What was your second written work about(the first one is often mushrooms, and is used to test the patience and resolve of up-and-coming writers)?
Flesh-Stick: THOSE CANDLES YOU CAN GET ARE PRETTY COOL. WHO WOULDN’T WANT A CANDLE WITH AN EYEBALL IN IT?

Both, one of them being inside another’s stomach, but none of them will remain inside that room. I choose to blame the stench. Utterly terrific.
Refer to my previous answer for the question.
After my wildly successful satire about mushrooms and politics, I decided to write a story about my exploits in Spite. It was rated quite positively, might I add.
Two weeks after that, some other writer takes all my fame by writing a penny dreadful about a "nameless thief in the Flit." How dare they?
You decide to rent out a nice townhouse in Veilgarden - perfectly suited for parties. You invite one person from each faction who tends to act like the average person from their faction would. Which faction are you most likely to kick from the party first, which one do you dance with, and which one do you have a lucrative business proposition with?
Revolutionary anarchist gets booted out me home immediately. Ya just kno if’n it’s naught ta explosions, it’s gotta be somfing else that’ll rattle tha guests to tha core. Bohemian will probably be danced wiff… I guess. Never had much o’ problem wiff any o’ them before. Could learn a fing or two just dancin’. Suppose tha leaves criminals or zailors fer business. Dealt wiff both 'n no doubt they’d need someone wiff my skill fer aid.
Passin’ tis one along. Can be interestin wiff different results I’m sure. If it’s not yer fancy tho, answer tis: If’n ya could work wiff a Master, who would it be and why?

Hahahaha, the very thought of me housing a bunch of drunk people making noise. But let’s pretend it could happen, for the love of science. I suppose that first to go would be the guy from Society. I know they are my primary clients, but they are also awfully prejudiced, snobbish and they always expect you to dress in so and so way, to hear their empty chat, etc etc. Most of them are not good conversationists when you do not like to gossip. At some point, I would kick the Bohemian. They are nice people, but they are a little too much lively and prank-y when they drink. (Sure, I could make a no-alcohol party, but I imagine that only the Urchins would attend, and even then, if I had enough sweets.)
The business proposition would probably come from the Constables. Apart from society, they are my biggest clients for detective work.
I will pass the second question along:
