Fallen London
81

Why did the robber stack vases in the victim’s privvy? What does the scrawl of &quotMONSTROUS ARE THOSE WHO WILL NOT WITHIN&quot on the mirror mean? And why all the folded paper swans?

82

I don’t know if this isn’t cheating since it’s so new, but:
&quotKnown to the altar boys and deacons!&quot
I just…does anyone else see how wrong that sounds? I will never not get the creeps whenever I think about Renown:Church from now on.

“A vital message has been intercepted.”
From the rubbery man cheese-monger card. No idea why this stuck in my head.

Have you ever heard the one about the altar-boys and the deacon?

In the same vein: Known to individuals with unimportant titles, but titles nonetheless!

“So much has been lost!”
“Stuff and humbug! Let’s get drunk.”
“I’ll take this one, and that one, and that one there…”
“The walls are wrong. The walls are wrong”
“I have developed as dislike of zee-captains”
“I will protect you, but not from serpents” (i’m very fond of snex, myself)
“Come quick! I am drinking the fallen stars!”

and, of course: “Ah… Si-- ugh… Mada-- err, yes.”

86

It’s not a line or phrase, but-- around these parts there’s a hospital (or otherwise medical-based, I don’t the exact details) consortium called Northwell Health, whose slogan is ‘Look north’. It’s put me right off them as an option should I ever need a service.

&quot[b][i]This will exchange a Searing Enigma for a stack of Making Waves, and is relatively unlikely to end with you being eaten by spiders.&quot

[/i][/b]First time I read that I remember thinking &quot…wait what was that second part again?&quot And now it comes to me whenever I see any Arachnid.

88

&quotFlick. Flick. Flick. Oh, good. You don’t appear in any of these&quot

89

“Zugzwang,” he remarks obscurely.

90

Such is the pawn’s life.

I know there’s a bit between those, but that always stuck.

91

“Discard”,“Try this again”, and “Onwards!”. I have long since read and cataloged the entirety of the options general available to me, so all that remains is the daily grind.

92

“Her absence speaks like thunder…”

93

Probably mentioned plenty by others, but I have to mention that I recently found another Fallen London player by dropping the phrase “All will be well, and all manner of things shall be well.”

94

The most important: Hello, Delicious Friend. Or just delicious friend, really.

UN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE SUN. THE S-

LO THY DREAD EMPIRE LIGHT DIES BEFORE THY UNCREATING WORD.

95

“Something happens that you do not hear, or see. It happens for quite some time.” Because you never forget your first tender moment with a monstrous space-creature.

“Listen, and it will ask. Do as it asks, and you will regret it.”

96

“A tear-stained note of regret is notable only by its absence.”

97

All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.

A reckoning will not be postponed indefinitely.

Filled up the post in the phrases chat!

…sorry, couldn’t resist.

I also remember &quotBrought a spirifer with a rope cravat!&quot from old Seeking. I was doing research on old Seeking (that forced soul reinsertion, tho) and that just stuck fast.

From Old SMEN


&quotIf the Sun is its Master, then let the Sun be sunken. Let the currents rush in, the strange-winds and the particle-trades, the wave that trembles and the great Curve. All of it, until there is dark. My hate will not be contained until the Sun is cindered and damned, until Its heart is empty as theirs.&quot
