Unless I change my mind about which dream will come, which is possible, there doesn’t seem to be anything to do except wait for the end of Hallowmas when all will be revealed.
But what I am waiting for is what was promised in the Blog post "We’ll also be adding ways you can tease and terrorise your friends in Fallen London. In a strict and decorous manner, of course. Stay close…." That sounds like it could be fun.

At the very least it’ll be interesting. :) Whether I play them beyond the first time depends on what it does to the victim, however. I’d rather not be a bother if I can help it, even if it is the season for it.
Agreed - the best kind of prank is the kind that delights all parties!
I do hope that the results are not too unpleasant but I am intrigued to see what Alexis has in mind. I don’t really want to terrorise anyone but, hopefully, there will be some treats amongst the tricks.
I’m still to pull the visitor card. Given that by my research I think I want the choice that requires fish, I need it 3 times between now and the end.
I’ll use fate and choose one of t’others if not got it by Thursday, but still: SAD FACE
THEN we can speak of pranks.
Despite copious card-flipping, I haven’t been graced with the visitor card during a normal draw, so I used fate to force it to appear. (Four times. I have much curiosity.)
Random means random, I guess.
My alt has gotten the card 3 times now, and my main character only twice (and the first time I got it before the 24th and lost it through a clicking accident before I could play it.)
That’s what’s useful about having an alternate character–you can see more choices as to a story like this–often without spending Fate. (Though I’d spend more Fate/Nex if I had the money…Sigh.)
This is a rather ambiguous prediction of a prediction! Does this mean that, come the 31st, we’ll receive our prophecy, and it will be harder after that point to receive a different prophecy (and so better acquaint ourselves with a range of possible futures) - or, does it mean that once we’ve had our glimpse of the future, we’ll have to work extra-hard to prevent it from coming true? [/quote]
I suspect it means that, whatever your last visitor is as of October 31 (but when on October 31? Midnight Greenwich time?), you’ll get that visitor’s version of the dream/revelation, and if you want to see other version’s after that you’ll need to pay Fate. But that’s just my guess.

[li]UTC seems likely. At least Britain’s no longer got summer time, so we don’t have to factor that in. Otherwise it might be whenever they want.[/li]
[quote=Spacemarine9]Even the blog post says 1892, so it’s probably not a typo. Maybe a misnumbering.
Or maybe we’re going to fall asleep for a year and get woken up by a kiss from a snake or something.[/quote]
Okay the blog says 1891 now but this thread is still titled 1892, so I guess this is a prepratory thread for next year.
To add to the general sense of confusion, I cannot but read the title of this thread to a mangled imagining of the tune of David Bowie’s “5:15 The Angels Have Gone.”
Ninety-two / Hallowmas / Visitors gone / I’ve gone to zee / Rubbery Men / deep underground / all of my crew / all tentacles / flesh-covered eyes / ninety-two / steamer has sunk / visitors gone / we have no names anymore / forever I will devour you / wrong steamship / here in the Neath / forever I can’t remember.

What’s a year of time dilation between friends, right?
Any suggestion that the year has suddenly changed with warning I am putting down to the sheer quantity of laudanum my character has drunk over the past few days.
I think I would have preferred it if the entire game had been shunted forward a year just to make the thread title correct. Sure it’d completely mess up canon and continuity, but it’d be funny
I think we can safely put this one down to one of the more outré plotters among the Calendar Council. Probably a run of false almanacs, which would have baffled space and muzzled time had the Ministry not located and seized them. Like that one year we had three Shrove Tuesdays! I ate so many pancakes. Too much pancakes.
Moonish-light saving time. The bazaar has "sequestered" a year from all of us and has it saved away, for some unknown purpose.
[color=#009900]All things considered, you lot are pretty cool.[/color][li]
The question is, what did the Bazaar do with the Stolen Year while it was missing? WHAT HAVE THEY CHANGED
Well, logically, being the Bazaar, they sold it. The question then is who bought it, and what did they pay?
