As I settled in to do my Piscine Research as part of my lab, I came to the realization that, d\_\_\_, is Fallen London really the only game I know of where you can traumatize a goldfish? At least, explicitly? That got me to thinking of other rare sentences that come about from FL, such as it being the only game where you can breed two goats literally from Hell in order to get a better class of Hell Goat. But of course, my genius can only think of so many examples, so I would love to hear of any examples you delicious friends have thought of or come to think of. ---

Rare sentences? Having a lapse of memory, I strolled over to Mrs. Plenty’s Carnival, where I encountered this choice sentence about the Rubbery Specimen in the Most Educational Anatomy Exhibition: "What SPONGY HORRORS await beneath the FLIMSY CONCEALMENT of CIVILISED CLOTHING? EXAMINE the BONELESS WRITHING in pursuit of INTELLECTUAL BETTERMENT." edited by Catherine Raymond on 7/14/2021 ---

“Well, I’m nude, so the server’s up.” When the server got really unstable that one time, I think after the outfit lock went in, I encountered genuinely the weirdest bug I’ve ever seen. When the server was up, I was nude. Even my destiny was unequipped! But every time I tried to put on clothes, the server went down for everyone. So I ended up looking back every so often and refreshing and that’s when I uttered that line. The Discord enjoyed that. ---

I think that Fallen London is pretty much about rare sentences. That’s how I got here anyway. I’m married to a candle. Don’t think it could have happened to me anywhere else. And will anyone remember that genial wording from the recent exhibition – something like “a familiar sense that something terrible is about to happen” ? ---

I’m surprised nobody brought up the Orphangrind! “I need to buy Orphans so I can give them to Tigers so I can get Tribute so I can exchange it for goods so I can sell them so I can buy more Orphans” is a CLASSIC As for my personal experiences I’d say “I walked away from a grind to go do a completely different, more fun grind” is a good one
