I’m The Great Pigmeat, let me be the 5th.
all must dance the dead mans tune
The fifth victim has fallen.
Walking in Veilgarden has lost his appeal. Behind the pleasant façade hide a world of cruelty, while other’s forget themselves in debauchery. Doctor Schlomo has share with me his theory, that everyone has an impulse toward life and an impulse toward death, one that pushes us toward pleasure and the other pushes toward death. I have become convinced that they are the same. We hurt ourself to find pleasure and we get buried in pleasure to hurt ourself. A face in extreme pain is similar to a face in extreme pleasure. This cycle pushes us toward become more and more monstrous until we die. Who will be next?
Have you ever heard of the Tragedy of Mr. Eaten the Wise?
No, I suppose not. It’s not a story the Masters or the Royals would tell you. It’s a Second City legend.
Mr.Eaten wielded power comparable to a Master of the Bazaar, but unlike the Masters he was just and caring. Perhaps more importantly… it is said that he could use his power to keep a City that he loved… from dying.
.
"It would mean safety for London. Is it possible to learn this power?"
Not from a Master of the Bazaar.
Anyway. He had become so powerful… that he only thing that he feared was to lose his power, which eventually of course he did.
A winged villain revealed to three ancient humans everything he knew… and the ancient humans, to become the God-Eaters, ate Mr. Eaten the Wise, and killed him in the Well.
How ironic. He could use his power to save cities… but not himself. And so here we are, in the Neath.
(and this is my 77th post XD)

excellently done maybe some spoiler tags might be advised
I require your help.
To save cities… is a power that only one has achieved.
But working together, we can discover the secret.
All I need is for you to lend your ear, and Listen to this story in more detail. This will add your fresh insight to mine, and set you on the path
Save cities? This sounds interesting…does it involve killing monsters? Perhaps I may be of help…
Elcid Barret would like to be betrayed.
Six stains. Did any of you listened to me? Did you even cared? You keep telling me that there’s some value in this. That you would discover some truth. That it’s some kind of adventure, a painful story that you can safely enjoyed. Tell me, do you feel your rot inside? Does the smell bothers you at night? This is about hate. It’s about a hate so deep it moves inside of you, hurting by eroding your inside, and so you pour more pain in it to the point where you can’t breath but there is no panic because your lungs have given up a long time ago. That’s the drowned man, that’s the name. What part are you choosing to ignore? Yet you keep sending people in that direction, encouraging their self-destructive impulse, or worse are curious about an intriguing mystery, with many clues and a surprising climax. After that, it’s too late. You have hurt yourself, permanently, in the quest to free you from yourself. It’s doomed to fail. The pool only get bigger, and just looking at it fill it more. My hate is minuscule compare to every drop in the ocean. It’s all futile. Would the world be better if it was empty?
Seven stain. There’s nothing else to say
(Out of character: Thank you so much for everyone who accepted or refused my invitation. Sending out betrayal and hoping to get a response made me feel like a scam artist, waiting for someone to take the bait. Seeking made me remember some dark feeling and I do believe that the whole things is a sort of metaphor for a cycle of self-destruction. I am sometimes saddened by the fact that people are more interested in the lore then in the theme of the story, but that’s just because I’m a hipster. Also, Quidam would never know this, but most people refused the invitation.)
I happen to have an alt account with which I am persuing the name. If anyone wants to betray them, they’re at sarexanderstar. They have already set upon the path.
I am interested in my separate account getting betrayed

Please betray my new alt for SMEN! Really excited to see the story.
Ooh, someone else made a Star Wars reference. Guess I should give it a go.
There must always be a Mr. Eaten. One who holds the knowledge of betrayal, who has been betrayed and will betray in turn.
Mr.Underhill77 is searching for those to betray. (Un)fortunately my main is ineligible due to having already given up Seeking once.

After hungering for the Vake, Timpinen desires something more, and is looking for one who has begun the path to betray him and start him on his way: Fallen London

Red Winter is drawn North, and would love to be betrayed.

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here."[/quote]
Edit: The Starveling Cat! The Starveling Cat! Made me hungry, just like that!
North-bound; not so much in the sense of "heading North" as "chained to the North."

Anyone interested in betraying my new alt? In-game name is “The Lonesome Worm”.
Looking to betray, willing to be betrayed.
I visit Fallen London daily, so feel free to approach me anytime.
My alt, C. Kerr, has a few betrayals left. Get yours while they last!
