I’ve been in this damnable city for what seems like an eternity now, and am yet to make an acquaintance beyond shallow socialites, vapid bohemians and surly criminals; offers of patronage would be most warmly received. I would be particularly grateful for any help assistance improving my skills in the Shadows.
Now that i’m more "experienced" in this wonderful story, i’d like to meet a patron willing support my mischievous affairs in this city of damned (tradeable) souls.
Hello, hello! I’d be very much delighted to be under the tutelage of a Legendary Charisma and/or a Shattering Force (really, I would love to be taught by both). My qualities as of 7/4/14 are as follows:
A little something/s about me. I prefer to look to myself as unpredictable—though who wouldn’t want to see themselves as such, really—but let it be said that I do uphold a sense of dignity and honour in these most wretched of times. What acquaintances I have would call me flimsy and hesitant, and while I’m not saying I’m not, I would rather look at it as either being a bit too careful, or being too rash. Pick your poison, they say.
I s’pose that will be all for now. I’m looking forward to working (and learning) with you.
I would very much like a Shadowy or Persuasive patron. I would also consider a Watchful one. I can’t think of a riddle worthy for such distinguished company yet.
ABOUT ME: I like a lot of different things, reading, writing, ad art. I’ve been told that my manner of speaking in real life is rather formal, and this tends to be reflected in my wrting unless I am instant messaging. I have one adorable cat named Star who loves to cuddle and give kisses.
RIDDLE:
There is a man on a hill in China… But not a man on a hill.
I am not choosy about any patron, but would prefer one of great Charisma or one of impeccable Insight for now.
About me: Some call me a foolish foreign girl, or falsely whisper of disreputable things, but I am, in truth, a woman of immaculate character and good breeding.

It seems that my new life is rather lacking in shadowy assistance - any assistance rendered would be greatly appreciated. And who knows, other things may bloom.
And finally- should I shoot you, force you underwater for several minutes, and then hang you, how can it be that the next evening we enjoy a cup of coffee at Caligula’s?[li] edited by Lemmingbee on 8/3/2014
I have only very recently began my wanderings in this place but thus far find it most intriguing…
If a shattering force or a legendary charisma would honor me with their patronage I promise not to disappoint. You’ll find in me a quick study and an adventurous spirit.

If I do not respond immediately please be patient as I often attend to matters at sea as a gunnery sergeant for a young lady who sails the Sunless Zee in an old steam vessel in search for her father’s whereabouts.
Through my travels I have acquired no small amount of knowledge ranging from the enlightening to the bizarre. If you wish to hear of my scientific proof that the Bermuda Triangle is actually a parallelogram, or of the strange creature that resides atop Thomas Edison’s head (more publicly known as ‘hair’), it would be an honor to chat with you.

I too am looking for someone to learn from. An Extraordinary Mind to be exact. I consider it my goal to learn all of the deepest, darkest secrets of this exquisite world and someone to guide me along the way would be interesting.
Dear friends, as a recent acquaintance to the hallowed shores of this great Zee I’m in search of one with legendary charisma who might bless me with their patronage. Should you be so inclined to take a lady up on said offer, you might find me at the following address:
Hello potential patrons! I am new to the Neath and in search of a helping hand. I am considered by some to be an observant and ferocious gentleman who is trained in the art of enquiry. Anyone interested in helping me become an Extrodinary Mind may send me an offer of acquaintanceship.
Hello!. I’m new but already in love with this world and its secrets. I’m progressing quite quickly in some areas but I’d love to have some help with Shadowy and/or Dangerous from Invisible Eminence and/or Shattering Forece.

Dear prospective patrons,
I stand before you not as a man but merely as a child, a weak kitten mewling in the gutters of this harsh and foggy city.
Rising from the abbyss where Fate has deemed suitable to cast me, i have surpassed numerous ordeals but even if i must admit i am so Resourceful that some people had the gust to affirm i was made of Resources - a slanderous libel that has been dispelled by the University after a thorough and painfull examination - i do find myself some times regretting the feeling of having a mentor at my side, a splendid figure of authority and knowledge that would sometime grace my ear with words of wisdom.
If there is some artist out there, some sculptor that would mold the figureless wax that i am and make me more than a Man, a Person please free to send for me at my lodgings.
I bow before such a wonderful assembly and now retreat in the darkness.
MrDebout, Enquierer in the making, Discoverer of Known Things

Hello one and all,
After many restless nights in a hellish landscape that can be mistaken for a city. I find myself at a in-pass in which i would prefer a patron to show me the ropes of moving up in the world. I aim squarely for persuasion but I am ever vigilant for a watchful patron as well. I feel clueless in the cold streets, moving from street to street longing for a familiar place to rest.

Evening to you all! The name’s Hester. Hester McGillivrey. (The pseudonym on my calling card notwithstanding).
I’m seeking patronage with regards to the Shadowier aspects of life in the Neath—I’m looking to make a name for myself, but I’ve been told that I’m somewhat lacking the requisite subtlety. Both in terms of deeds and of words, come to think—a bit of coaching in the ways of Persuasiveness wouldn’t go amiss either. I prefer a rather more direct approach, shall we say, but the knife and the rifle can only take one so far in life.
In any case, I hope someday to be able to do the same for some poor struggling soul.
Hello every one, my name is Jooraq and I have recently escaped prison and arrived in this fallen city. So far I’m doing alright, staying in the shadows and trying to learn the way things are done around here. I have a rather subtle, manipulative, ‘string pulling’ approach to my roamings and connections, and I would like to keep it that way. I have this set of skills
watchful - 20
shadowy - 23
dangerous - 14
persuasive - 19
I’ve heard that having someone who looks out for you is crucial to surviving here, so I would like to submit myself as a protege to a patron who could deepen my knowledge on the ways of the shadows… That would be all, thank you.
“I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.”
I’ve recently joined this story and to soon discover my own calling in this place. But I believe I can only succeed with proper guidance, so I am open to any Patrons who might nudge me to the proper path. I would gladly accept guidance in any of the necessary skills to make it in this city.
And you probably need some way to contact me. Feel free to do so using the link below:
Also, I unfortunately can’t think of a favorite riddle in English (or any, if I come to think of it). One of the shortcomings of using English as a secons language.
I Tibalus am seeking a patron of any sort (although I would especially like to be acquainted with one of spectacular persuasion or one who is especially shadowy) in order to ascend the echelons of Fallen London society.
I am also fond of a game of chess or a debauchery filled supper and would happily solicit invitations from anyone who shares these interests regardless of an intention of patronage.
