I am not posting for myself, as I’m a Shadowy Patron, but Nummehcake would like a Watchful mentor.

Hello friends. I am an almost-posi who would still like to receive patronage in shadowy and watchful. I am quite very active! I can offer coffee, chess or almost whatever else you would need as my Patron. Thanks.

To all my delicious friends,
I am here in the Neath as practitioner of veterinary medicine, and it is my hope to find the secret of immortality here present and bring it to the surface to ameliorate the fortunes of the animals with whom I spent so much of my time above-ground. Unfortunately, my progress in this respect has been haltingly slow, and it is my hope that you might bestow upon me some of your tremendous knowledge so as to hasten my progress. I am also an Exceptional Friend and am more than willing to engage in any number of social dalliances with you if you find that would be of any benefit to you.
Right now I would benefit most greatly from the generosity of a Shattering Force, an Invisible Eminence, or an Extraordinary Mind, but Legendary Charismas are most welcome as well.

Watchful: 74

Yours truly,

[i]Dear delicious friends,
A daring and ruthless lady, Vittoria Scarlett (W67, S70, D77, P64), has requested that I seek on her behalf a Dangerous or Watchful Patron (should one happen to be both, that would be most ideal!). With milady’s goal of exerting an indomitable influence on the darker parts of the Neath, be it the Criminals, Docks or Hell itself, a Patron of the most devilish kind would be essential to this… partnership.
We hope to hear from you shortly, Patron.
Yours truly,
The Black [/i]Sacrament
*edit: milady’s contract has been sealed with the blood of Extraordinary Mind Leszek Nx.

To whom it may concern,
Please find enclosed my business card. As I believe our mutual friend may have informed you, I am interested in making the acquaintance of an individual versed in the more forthright arts. One who possess such an affinity for shattering force would find a arrangement of patronage with yours truly could be of much use to their interests in our fair capital.
Your faithfully,
Riuri (W111, S49, D69, P58)
P.s "I have towns without people, coasts without sand. I have seas without water and mountains without land. What am I?"

Hello, others.
I’m The Solitary Scoundrel (an unfortunate handle, I know.) My stats are W69, S85, D11, P67. I’m looking for a patron, specifically an Extraordinary Mind. I consider myself passably clever and I enjoy clever things, such as this riddle about measuring time by burning ropes which you may have heard before:
You have two ropes, each of which will burn from one end to the other in 30 minutes. However, the rate of burning along a rope is not constant or known; for example, it’s possible for half of a rope to burn in 29 minutes, while the other half burns down in 1 minute. You also have a magical lighter which has the property of entrancing butterflies with its flame. (This magical property is irrelevant.)
The question is this: how do you measure 45 minutes with reasonable precision using only the two ropes and the lighter?
I enjoy reading books, fencing epee, and playing games of all types (board games, card games, video games, pen-and-paper games, etc.) I like cats, high places, pretty things (and people), stories involving vast towers, stories involving castles or lands in the sky, and stories involving underground worlds. Speaking of underground worlds, I apologize for all of the colons and parentheses; I read a bit of Alice in Wonderland a few days ago and a little bit of Carrol’s writing style rubbed off on me.
A thousand thanks,
The Solitary Scoundrel

Update: I have found a Persuasive patron, and am in the process of accepting an offer from a Shadowy one. Therefore, I have updated the post to ask only for Extraordinary Minds, and prospective patrons should probably know I may not have all of my free evenings available.

[color=#000000]Hello, future patron or not-so-future-patron. Let me get the starter information out of the way. My primary stats are watchful and persuasive, but I need definite work on my shadowy and dangerous, due to my aspirations of SMEN. I just need a boost with those stats until I get them to a high enough level, after which I will begin the Mr. Eaten storyline in the forgotten quarter. Of course, I only plan to do this so that I may know the answer. Nobody seems to want to tell me the ending, so it seems I have no choice but to destroy myself utterly. In the meantime, I will provide an excellent protégé. [/color]

Dear Sirs, Madams, Those identifying as gender-neutral, those identifying as gender-fluid, Citizens of the 'Neath, et. al.:
[Edited: I can no longer remember my former life. I feel like I have been in Fallen London…forever? Yet I have been in the 'Neath [only] [EDIT: 12] days and like it quite a bit, despite an unfortunate incident with a carnival mirror, a boatman, and–Good Gods, I think I was dead.
I am a subscriber, so have plenty of actions available to assist you with wounds, nightmares, etc.
NAME: GregM
My current unmodified stats [as of December 4, 2017]
WATCHFUL: [31]
SHADOWY: [36]
DANGEROUS: [62]
PERSUASIVE: [50]
[ETA: I now have a Dangerous Patron! I am seeking Patrons for the other 3, especially Watchful and Shadowy.]
I’m nothing if not pragmatic, so my two favorite riddles are the ones that defeated Gollum and Blaine the Monorail, respectively: &quotWhat have I got in my pocket?&quot and &quotWhat’s Irish and stays out in the rain?&quot (That second one is in book IV of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, Wizard and Glass.)
[Mindless ramblings from my above-ground life deleted. There is no above ground. There never was an above ground.]
All the best,
GregM

New to the Neath!
Lumpina Maximus views herself as adventurer/newspaper woman… perhaps with a disturbing taste for the tabloids. Very definitive interest in investigative reporting. A grey hat, but seems sentimentally inclined to be helpful to the constables… but perhaps not the higher authorities.
Current unmodified Stats:
Watchful: 70
Shadowy: 39
Dangerous: 29
Persuasive: 33
Would be grateful for any Patrons, but would especially prefer Watchful & Persuasive guidance

Hello!
Yoannete was assisted with their Persuasive by Inessa in past, but now they are looking for help with Dangerous (or possibly Shadowy). The available storylines don’t go well with their morals nor their usual approach, so it’s been awfully difficult to progress. When they aren’t avoiding duels to death, they spend their days at the Court and University, playing with dogs, befriending cats, trying to sell their soul and writing. That’s why they also became an Author recently.
Their base stats as of now are:
i[/i]
Watchful 88
Shadowy 71
Dangerous 63
Persuasive 118
Any guidance would be much appreciated!
EDIT: Yoannete got an offer of help with Shadowy, so they are still looking for Dangerous!

Greetings delicious friends!
I, Lady Adelaide deBusschet, a proud lady of society, am quite vexed in poking through the ruins of the Fourth City. While normally the area fills me with ruinenlust as I search for long lost treasures, it has been frustrating in enduring such slow progress in light of the presence of rival archaeologists. Are there any patrons who possess extraordinary minds that might have the time to offer private lessons of acuity? Do mind the blood everywhere though. Some of it may not be mine.
Sincerely,
Adelaide
Postscript: There seems to be a hole in my head for I have no riddles to offer. My apologies.
(Base stats are:
Watchful 78
Shadowy 91
Dangerous 82
Persuasive 80)
UPDATE: Colin Sapherson, Lord President of the Council, had become my mentor a few weeks after this post. Thanks for the patronage!

Oof. Too dense for a riddle. 80,42,68,68 respectively. I would like a patron of shadowy perhaps, but maybe someone who could introduce me to the RP side.
Found a patron. Thanks in advance.

Greetings, Delicious Friends!
I am Child of Storm: duelist, fungus-wrangler, and explorer of fallen cities. W86 S76 D91 P22. I spend my days (does the neath have days? can you really count time like so many marbles?) prowling for trouble. My heart yearns for the glittering darkness of the zee. I seek the patronage of a Legendary Charisma, though I would not turn down the tutelage of any well-meaning individual. I detest the thought of writing poetry, and having a mentor to guide me through the nuance of high-born company would be immensely valuable.
For riddles, a classic:
This thing all things devours,
birds, beasts, trees, and flowers,
gnaws iron, bites steel,
grinds hard stones to meal.
Slays kings, ruins towns,
and beats high mountains down.

Hello, hello!
I have recently started playing Fallen London (as in, I signed up a few days ago, realized I made a mistake, deactivated my account, remade a new account just yesterday) and I would like a Patron! I’m not exactly sure how the process works, but I am eager to learn, even if I make mistakes along the way. If my stats are just not good enough to warrant a Patron yet, please tell me and I’ll work on my stats before I reapply.
Now, as for my unaugmented stats…
Watchful: 12
Shadowy: 8
Dangerous: 20
Persuasive: 10
My name in Fallen London is MalachaiTea, and I am described as a ferocious and charming gentleman. How nice! My current Ambition is to hunt the Vake. I am highly interested in steampunk and I am a huge fan of the Dolls of New Albion and several other of Paul Shapera’s works, and I was extremely excited when I stumbled upon this game. I also really like dragons! Is this weird? Am I rambling? Most likely! I don’t actually have a riddle, but I do enjoy puns and twists of words and language.
I suppose I would like my highest stat to be Dangerous, as that seems the most fun for me at the moment. As such, I am looking for A Shattering Force to help me along! Again, if my stats are too low to even be considered, please tell me and I can delete this post and come back when I have better ones.
Hi! I’m Kylie, your friendly neighborhood useless lesbian! I spend my time performing random acts of kindness and sleeping with as many women as possible.
Unfortunately, I dislike violence, and so I’m having trouble learning how to be Dangerous. I’d also like help becoming more Watchful, if possible.
Any guidance would be very appreciated!

Watchful: 63
Shadowy: 57
