Protégés Seeking Patrons (Only protégés need post)

Fallen London
241

Have a Butcher’s ‘ere at ol’ Martin Morgan. I’ve bin sat ‘ere all on me Jack Jones fer far too long an’ a Patron is wot’ll do me best. Little ta offer in exchange, but I don’ make a poor dogsbody. Kin even mebbe score yeh a fine Kettle if’n yeh need, by way of recompense. Me brainbox is a mite rusty, though, so I’m in the way of needin An Extraordinary Mind to put me sharp-ways quick-likes. Failin that, A Shattering Force to assist in makin me an alleyways terror would also be right ‘andy. Come callin after me in wotever fashion yeh wish; I’m lettered an’ all! An I give yeh my word that I won’ even sell yeh up the river to the Brass nor the ol’ Bill.

Kind and noble folk of the Neath, I respectfully ask for your aid in the acquisition of patronage, which would be most gratefully received.

As yet a newcomer to this fallen place, I am of an inquisitive mind and steadfast disposition; sadly susceptible to nightmares and scandal, but ever dreaming of the Vake.

I would be delighted to make your acquaintance, particularly if you are possessed of a shattering force or extraordinary mind.

Watchful 45
Shadowy 32
Dangerous 39
Persuasive 51

Alas, I currently have no riddles worth of your glowing intellect, but shall be glad to share one should it come into my possession.

A patron would be nice. My stats are:

Watchful: 77
Shadowy:56
Dangerious:65
Persuasive:112

As you can see, I have no need of a Persuasive Patron, but any prospective Master Detectives who need a Watson, Master Thiefs who need a trusted protege or a skilled ring fighter who needs someone to watch their back would be be nice. If you could fill me in on just how this works with the Patron message, that would be good too.

As for myself, I currently am a author in our fair city who has written one Epic Poetic Cycle for the court so far, as well as a few other smaller literally works. I dabble in the dangerous and accomplish the occasional theft, but my main goals are to write and discover all of the darkest secrets of the neath. Also, I have made some small progress in playing a certain card game, for my heart’s desire. Of course, the funny thing is, I know not what that would be. i have yet to decide what I would wish should I win. Perhaps something to…shake up the neath a little…

I would love to be trained in persuasiveness by one of you delicious patrons (although I will kindly take up an offer in any of the other disciplines)! I have only recently stumbled free of my prison and am now seeking to discover the deeps of the neith.

I have only just started and, as such, my stats are the following:

Watchful 12
Shadowy 14
Dangerous 5
Persuasive 12

A riddle that well seems to suit our waiting games we must play in the depths of London is the following:

I’m tall when I’m young and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

My most delicious regards

Greetings and Salutations to those perusing this fine board, seeking among the humble for suitable personages upon which to bestow their patronage.

I am dg01d, a crafty and shrewd person of somewhat indeterminate gender. I have habituated the finest areas of Fallen London, but such was undertaken quite some time ago, and these days I can be found across the city, seeking to re-establish my status following a long and strangely inexplicable absence.

As such, I seek a patron, one who can aid me in my endeavours to rejoin the society I once happily enjoyed.

Watchful 47
Shadowy 62
Dangerous 40
Persuasive 27

I should be delighted to find any patron, but I am presently most desirous of increasing my Persuasive and Shadowy characteristics for reasons far too mundane to expiate in this location.

Oh, a riddle is called for. I offer this relatively simple one, whose true answer can only be determined by the pure of spirit:

&quotI have heard of a something-or-other, growing in its nook, swelling and rising, pushing up its covering. Upon that boneless thing a cocky-minded young woman took a grip with her hands; with her apron a lord’s daughter covered the tumescent thing.&quot

No, that’s not the answer, and you should be ashamed to even think of such a thing. Have a care, please.

I should be delighted to proffer the answer to all who seek it.

Thus, I most humbly present myself as a likely protegé, in want of a Patron.

Hello Fellow Londoners,

I am a Forthright Thief, and I am humbly seeking out a patron. At the moment all my stats are under 100, so any type of patron is fine but I would prefer to start with a patron of the Shadowy or Persuasive nature, but a watchful or dangerous patron would also be beneficial.

A bit about myself is that I enjoy a good robbery, if you can’t tell by my name. I especially like robbing ships laden with glim and lawyer’s offices and I will do ‘almost’ anything to further the cause of the revolution. And I have no riddles for you, other than What’s in my front pocket…

Watchful 51
Shadowy 67
Dangerous 42
Persuasive 54.

I am currently seeking out a patron to help me with my…chosen trade of shadow-work. Dirty bit i know, but it pays better than any “honest” job down here.

My skills are as follows:
WATCHFUL 18
SHADOWY 27
DANGEROUS 10
PERSUASIVE 17

Hope their is someone out there willing to show this one the back streets.

Still seeking a Dangerous patron, for a short time only. ~Shalinoth

Hey guys

I am a nobody who just descended from the nearth seeking to be somebody. Some described me as a persuasive young man who happens to be weak physically. I could charm your hat off, but would not be able to swat it away. As my stats are not stellar, I am open to patrons for all 4 stats. However, I would prefer to raise my Shadowy first (hey, who doesn’t like to be a master thief? :D )

My stats are as follows:
Watchful 43
Shadowy 29
Dangerous 27
Persuasive 86

I would really appreciate it if a kindred soul would offer to take me under his/her wing. Naturally, I would reciprocate by helping you in reducing your menaces/hanging out for coffee or dinner. I know a good pub in veilgarden. :)

As for the riddle: I stand undaunted before the anti life, the beast of judgement. Steadfast against, the entropy of time and the darkness at the end of everything. I am the start of dreams and ambitions, with me, the impossible becomes the inevitable. Who am I?

I am hope

PS: Side note, I am looking for a person who can help me to obtain 77 city coins as part of my ambition (>70 in persuasive or watchful). Let me know!

It seems I was precipitous in asking for a patron, as the option in the game was not available for me at the time. Luckily, I’m sure you delicious patrons would not mind me posting again, now that I am most terribly free!

I’m seeking a patron for any skills with a slight focus on watchful. I play fairly often, am generally autonomous, and I am, of course, delicious!

My base skills without equipment:

Watchful: 65
Shadowy: 50
Dangerous: 43
Persuasive: 49

Thank you in advance for your magnanimous patronage!

252

Good day, fellow fallen. I am an irresistible, compelling, and sagacious person of mysterious and indistinct gender. My unaugmented abilities are as follows:

Watchful: 91
Shadowy: 59
Dangerous: 90
Persuasive: 106

I would greatly like to make the acquaintance of an Invisible Eminence. I go by the same name here as I do in the city, although the amount of scandal I generate might indicate that I should look into acquiring a pseudonym or five.

And the requisite riddle:

My first is in victory, but not in battle
My second’s top mark, the start of an apple
My third is in empty, and also in mitts
My fourth is in pieces, but not in bits
My fifth’s in a needle, but not in its spelling
My sixth’s last in water, first in repelling
My seventh and last is a compass point
Also found twice in every joint

So put me together, and I hear you say:
You’ll never see him around during the day!

This one most humbly seeks the kind attention of a most generous and skilful master in the incomparable arts of charm and cajolery.

Watchful: 32
Shadowy: 12
Dangerous: 15
Persuasive: 43

254

I am seeking a fine patron to assist in Shadowy, as it’s my last stat to get (augmented ) above 100 for posi!
Unaugmented stats:
90 watchful
86 shadowy
87 dangerous
91 persuasive

I have almost no shadowy gear and my partner who was helping me with persuasive isn’t so keen to start sending loitering because it very sadly is the only lodgings assist with a malbenefit. …so I’ll have to raise it a bit higher than what I’ve gotten my other stats to.
I’m on mobile right now so I can’t chat on too much but do note that I know very little about how this system works so know that I’ll have to be shown the strings ;w;

Edit. I have been conatcted, thank you!

I am in a need of a patron to enhance my persuasive skills. My stats are the following:

[ul][li]Watchful 44[/li][li]Shadowy 29[/li][li]Dangerous 23[/li][li]Persuasive 56[/li][/ul]I am a lady rather new to Fallen London. I am seeking my way into society.

As for the riddle:
If I have it, I don’t share it. If I share it, I don’t have it. What is it?

I am relatively new to the city, and though I have little to offer as it stands, I’m sure that over the course of time I can be very beneficial. I’m a relatively unsavory type, but honest with those who make straightforward deals. I’m looking for a patron who would be able to help with any of my qualities. I intend to be a well rounded and diverse gentleman. My stats are as follows:

Watchful 16
Shadowy 34
Dangerous 14
Persuasive 35

Also, due to the fact that I’m a newcomer, I’m open to any association, friendships, or lucrative opportunities anyone might be willing to offer. As for my riddle, &quotI am the first you ever saw, what greets you every morning, and what goes out in the end.&quot.

A hopeful citizen, Jimmydj

Greetings, my fellow citizens.
I am a captivating, shrewd, wily and ferocious individual.
I am well acquainted with all the factions but I am closest to the Society, where I hope to slowly carve my way towards their higher echelons. A journalist by trade, I have a great affinity towards my fellow artists, the Bohemians.
I would much appreciate a patron, particularly someone with A Legendary Charisma or An Extraordinary Mind.
My stats are

44- Watchful
38 - Shadowy
37 - Dangerous
56- Persuasive

The captain of a ship was telling this interesting story: &quotWe traveled the Unterzee far and wide. At one time, two of my zailors were standing on opposite sides of the ship. One was looking west and the other one east. And at the same time, they could see each other clearly.&quot
How can that be possible?

EDIT: I am now under the Patronage of a kind Gentleman.

Eleazar Swift seeks a patron to aid him in becoming an Extraordinary Mind.

Stats:
Watchful: 59
Shadowy: 26
Dangerous 35
Persuasive 60

Mr. Swift is possessed of an inexhaustible curiosity. He seeks to uncover the secrets of Fallen London, the previous cities and indeed the nature of the Neath. While being sympathetic to the complaints of the revolutionaries and urchins, pragmatically he usually sided with the constables and the church, though he has empathy for the downtrodden and unusual, such as clay men and rubber men, and the faber rats. His primary income comes from writing romantic short stories of moderate quality.
