[color=#ffffff]Hello Londonites[/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]I come searching for those who walk the teaching path.
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]I have great sagacity, I say with no mendacity, but my wit and wisdom lies mostly in my fists. [/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]I, with the stealth and girth of a building, have been lurching around, breaking windows and then talking the homeowner out of the repair. [/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]I would like a stealthier life. I seek Patrons who can help me with my Watchful, and, is true, with my Shadowy too.[/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]My stats, unvarnished and bald, are:[/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]Watchful: 72[/color]
[color=#ffffff]Shadowy: 66[/color]
[color=#ffffff]Dangerous: 91[/color]
[color=#ffffff]Persuasive: 92[/color]
[color=#ffffff]
[/color]

[color=#ffffff]
[/color]
[color=#ffffff]If I can find a kind soul or two to lend me their experience, I would be very grateful. [/color]
Best,
Mr House

Another recent arrival, I beg the favour of patronage. My interest currently lies in a watchful direction, though I also struggle with the compromises to my honour required by the shadowy side of life. Perhaps I simply need convincing otherwise? (Oh, and sometimes I think I’m going mad…)
My stats are:
Watchful 34
Shadowy 26
Dangerous 43
Persuasive 28
Any approaches will be gratefully received.
I remain (or possibly will become), sirs, madams, and others,
Your devoted servant,
Jermaine Vendredi (aka Jermion)
Update 2nd March 2016:
Watchful 55
Shadowy 44
Dangerous 52
Persuasive 45
Jermaine has since been fortunate in attracting the notice of two great eminences (watchful and persuasive), for which he is duly grateful.

Jaeline sits at her writing desk and gazes out her window, three stories above the street. She idly brushes the feather of her quill pen along her upper lip as she considers. What to say, what to say…
"An observant and intriguing young woman requires connexions at all levels of society. Vigorous investigator (W36) and poet (P33), active cat conversationalist (S36), poor exercise programme (D11). Fascinated by a broad range of subjects. Individuals of strong character are invited to call at your convenience."
She pauses, then adds in a different hand:

Currently, this one is seeking training in the honorable arts of pugilism and dueling, so that his rapier might be sharper than his wit.
[b](In other words: A Shattering Force [Dangerous])
[/b]- Let prospective Patrons know a little about yourself:
Offline: I am currently a reclusive college student who prefers to read such works as H.P. Lovecraft and Poe. I’ve spent my share of life ‘on the hoof’, having spent the last three years in about five different states (and the four prior in multiple countries due to my then-career). I’m fairly sure my wanderlust is sated. Before that I spent time in uniform, though you’ll have to get to know me better to even discover what branch. (Hint: it might surprise you that I can even form a sentence when you find out.) In short, I might or might not become prone to random wanderlust and bouts of nostalgia, but they shouldn’t interfere with the game. However, if ever you’re bored and want to hear a wild story then I shouldn’t be hard to find.
-Your favorite riddle… this is strictly for my benefit and completely optional.

Greetings Fellow 'Neathers,
I am currently seeking a patron who is highly skilled in shadowy dealings, although I would also be delighted to receive tutelage in the skill of dangerous undertakings.
I have been here in the 'Neath for several months now, and have mostly been making my name in Veilgarden and at Court. I wrote a highly successful symphony not very long ago, and am now in the process of creating a ballet. I have been described as "irresistible, breathtaking, and sagacious", though I am also gaining skill in the arts of danger and shadows. My current skills, sans modifications, are as follows: Watchful - 76, Shadowy - 42, Dangerous - 68, and Persuasive - 99. I am not without influence, but I am working my way toward the "Person of Some Importance" designation.
If you are interested in a willing and eager student, please drop a calling card at my lodgings.
Sincerely,
Lady Rose de Lunae
Offline - I love Fallen London and have gotten my husband involved. I even played Sunless Sea, although a particularly heartbreaking loss of my most recent captain has rather quenched my love for playing the game. I’m sure I’ll return to it eventually though. In my non-gaming life, I enjoy singing, writing, reading, and cooking. I love a bit of glamour, and I am also a noted Anglophile.
Greetings, people of the Fallen City! I’m searching for a patron hightly skilled in the Art of Hurting. I’m an academic myself, but there are times in the life of a man (or a woman?) when one must roll up its sleeves and start punching things as fast as it can.
My current, unmodified skills are:
Watchful 80
Shadowy 47
Dangerous 59
Persuasive 72
Believing in the kindness of my fellow citiziens, I hopefully await.
OOC: I play daily because I’m caged in an office and really bored. A bit of roleplaying is appreciated, though expect the occasional grammar mistake - be kind, English is not my first language.
I know no riddles, but I will reward you with fascinating anecdotes about useless subjects, like the reproductive cycle of the Angler Fish. Send me a message if interested!
Hello, fellow Neathy beings.
Like everyone else here, I am seeking a patron, particularly one who can teach me to be a more Shattering Force.
I have been here a few weeks, and thoroughly enjoy the more intellectual pursuits found in Veilgarden and even Ladybones Road, but find it difficult (ethically) to capitulate to some of the other methods, like those of Watchmaker’s Hill. Nevertheless, I know I need a certain degree of bravery and force to survive the streets of Fallen London…
My unaugmented stats are as follows:
Watchful 55
Shadowy 42
Dangerous 46
Persuasive 60
Much obliged,
moominminded
Greetings. I seek assistance of one who might be considered A Legendary Charisma.
I have adequate observational and investigative skills, often being called an Insightful individual. (Watchful: 69)
I have some measure of skill when it comes to stealth, but I am not proud of it. (Shadowy: 36)
I am well versed in the art of violent confrontation, but my face often finds its way onto the cobbles. (Dangerous: 48)
I once wrote a penny dreadful so gory and explicit that the constables questioned me, but were it not for my aforementioned investigative skills, I would consider myself an illiterate brute. (Persuasive: 25)
I am currently searching for an individual most nefarious and detestable whose identity I have yet to discern, but I have found myself assaulted by a terrible boredom on most evenings.
Now then…

The one who purchases it does not use it
The one who uses it does not know that he is using it

As you can see, I’m not that good at talking and, thus, decided to become a minor poet for some time; moving in these kind of circles helps with my temporary social anxiety.
Hope you liked my story and, don’t want to change the subject, but I’m willing to exchange some of The Neath’s Mysteries (card) with someone. At this moment I’m giving them away for a sip of Hesperidean Cider, but I’d like to explore more and meet more people (colonists, clay men, spies, rubbery men, criminals and so on)!
EDIT: Seems that I forgot to leave my card, sorry!

Hi there and sorry for the late reply, but I was to busy to check the forum. I currently have a charismatic and a watchful patrons, but still looking for a dangerous one in the mean time.
P.S.: I’ll draw some cards at my lodgings for a Neath’s Mystery as I moved to Flit to call favors there.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of undeveloped talent, must be in want of a patron. So it is with me. As you can see from my statistics below, I’m focusing on my Persuasiveness - perhaps because that is my weakest spot in my aboveground life. In any event, Patrons of every stripe are welcome, though my current ambition is for a Legendary Charisma, which I one day aspire to be. Please consider allowing me to become your protegé.

If you’re still looking for a teacher to help with your persuasive skills, send me a calling card.
Salutations, gentlefolk of London!
My name is vanillafog, and I am delighted to make your acquaintance. If it would not be too much trouble, I would like to request patronage from such illustrious individuals as can provide it.
At present, my unmodified stats are…
Watchful: 83
Shadowy: 58
Dangerous: 55
Persuasive: 78
Since my Shadowy and Dangerous attributes are somewhat lacking in comparison to Watchful and Persuasive, help from An Invisible Eminence or A Shattering Force would be particularly welcome. By no means does that indicate that Extraordinary Minds or Legendary Charismas are unwelcome: any and all offers of help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this request, delicious friends, and I wish you all the best.
edited by vanillafog on 3/27/2016
I have noticed that my free nights have been spent mostly in staying in bed and recovering from wounds. This is an unfortunate waste. If any patron has a free night and do not mind the multitude of pets that inhabit my smoky flophouse, I would love to count on you for some lessons. I am currently free of Starveling Cats, which should ensure a peaceful(-ish) environment.
My unmodified stats are
Watchful 88
Shadowy 65
Dangerous 72
Persuasive 68
Thank you for the attention, and good luck in your enterprises.
I´m just begging in the game,al help will be welcome. I´m a gentleman interested in demonic affair, but only in those with high status and glamour only. I´m trying to have a good reputacion for teh citizens of Fallen London, privacy is another measure ;).
