I’m a bit sad that I finally had to let go of those last few Iron Knife tokens that I was holding on to (i.e. hoarding) when I visited the boatman, but I’m really loving the Heart’s Desire conclusion so far! I went into this thinking that I knew what my heart’s desire was (Escape), but the writing has been wonderful, especially for Beechwood, and now I’m torn between choosing Time or helping him win. Getting an email about Heart’s Desire’s long-awaited completion was what brought me back to Fallen London, and it has certainly not disappointed!
I’m currently undergoing training from the other players, and does anyone know if something happens if you get training from all 5, rather than just 3? Besides getting to read all the text, of course. Most of the requirements don’t look too bad, but I might be too impatient to grind up enough scrap to get training from Virginia.

Nothing special happens if you were to choose 3 instead of 5, but Mr Pages’ training in particular gives a unique item should you have a Ray-Drenched Cider on hand, so most people prioritize him over the others.
Be sure to explore the other new areas available right now, such as the University Lab and the Bone Market at the Dept. of Menace Eradication, as a lot of new stuff just recently opened.
I am nearly at the end of this ambition. I am currently up to the point where I am meant to draw this card.

I have steeled myself against dreams, but I have not chosen to Clear my Mind under preparing for the Manager, as I still have Brass-Buttoned displeasure. Am I needing to do that for the card to draw or is my day and a half’s wait just bad RNG?
EDIT: It showed up

I have the scrap, but I was too impatient to wait for the relicker. :-/
Does anyone have an echo of Virginia’s training?

Question: Is there a way to set horsehead amulets aside in HD? I’d rather not have to burn through two of them and get my wounds up a third time just to see the boatman.
Gaining a Weeping Scar doesn’t consume them, if you’re a Seeker. Or you could gaze into Heart’s Mirror at the carnival.

edited by PJ on 6/14/2020[/quote]Oh, so the Heart’s Mirror doesn’t consume them? I was planning on doing that anyway (didn’t want to give Virginia the satisfaction). Good to know. Thank you.

I had my Heart’s Desire character go to Polythreme to see if the island’s progenitor has anything to say in the aftermath of the ambition. Nothing.
