Good evening ladies, and gentlemen. I am Ralph. I like shadows, and danger. I came upon the forum, and thought I’d come and introduce myself.
Afore I found meself in the gaol, I were a purveyor of misbegotten oddments and trivia. I specialized in the forbidden and the obscure. Since finding my way to the 'neath, I’ve had me situation lessened quite a ways, and am striving to get just get by. But I’ve a meticulous nature, and a knack for cultivating contacts, so I’ll be on me feet soon enough.
I’d be happy to meet with likeminded inquisitives, eager to suss out the hidden nooks of the 'neath.

My name is Aoibheann, or at least I think so. I vaguely remember a life above ground, but it gets fainter with every passing day. I have no clear memories earlier than the day I awoke in a prison cell. It didn’t take me long to escape. I am finding odd skills that make me wonder if my faint memories are perhaps false. I do not know where I learned to catch rats for example, but I seem to be oddly good at it.

I am Matthew Jenner. I do not know how I came to this place.
looks up with a piercing stare
But I aim to find out. I must learn the truth of this place.
Hello denizens of the 'neath! Glad to have found the forum.
I’ve been around Fallen London for quite some time now. So many changes! Good thing I like change. :)
best wishes to all (within reason, of course) -your poppet
Haloo!
I am an humble newcomer to your fair and luminous city. I currently lodge in a cozy attic under the name of Eldridge Drew. I am currently employed in writing poetry about mushrooms. I have no clear idea why.
Hello. I’m Steve and new to Fallen London.
One of Felicia Day’s shows mentioned Fallen London and I decided to try it out. I am an IT Consultant by trade, but have never been a gamer, so imagine my surprise when I find myself enamored with this wonderful game.
It is indeed a blessed evening, is it not? Mine eyes see through the gloom a beautiful vision of London, rising above the muck and into the glistening, amber moonlight. Oh, me? You want to know about me? You mean to say, you don’t know about me? Oh, you must not frequent the better establishments, I see. Well, one cannot shine at everything, I suppose. I am Isara duan’Alain, and I might be known as a, how do they call it here, a ‘demimonde.’ Such a quaint term, is it not? But if it loosens tongues as well as pockets, then I see no harm in being referred to as such.
Ah, never mind. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. Have you any honey, perchance? Or a taste of the Broken Giant?
Ah. Yes. The necessary formalities. Always a danger, of course. How many of these people are really Jack of Smiles, I wonder to myself. Nonetheless, my abject loneliness has brought me to this - tipping my hat and bidding good evening to a bunch of strangers.
Occasionally the bazaar tempts me with an opportunity to publicly shame myself by parading my association with it in front of all those with whom I am connected on the surface. I shun this opportunity. It is too similar to these pathetic letters that pile up in droves in my lodgings demanding “retweets” or “send to 5 friends”. My skin crawls just at the thought of it. I have disinfected my fingertips with carbolic just for writing of it. Shunning such opportunities, I find myself alone. Profoundly alone, apart from my vast hungry plant, and an assortment of rats and urchins. Nobody I could call an equal, a friend, an enemy, a rival.
And so it comes to this. My name? Well, yes it it Alhimself. And so it is in the land of twitter. @alhimself. Do I desire your acquaintance? Well, I suppose I do. It is abject being so utterly alone in this huge city, and I expect that my plant would be terribly pleased to have the opportunity to attack something of a similar size and hunger.
On the surface I recall another life, a stranger life, where I was just Al, and I needed no reminding that Al was who I am and that I am who Al is. The bazaar is slippery. It changes memories. I have to cling on to who I am and who I was. I would also be glad to cling on to whichever of you wish to receive occasional gifts of rats and whatnot - or abominable salts HA.
And now I shall return to the shadows.
Why, evening fellow 'neathers. How I ended up in these lands, I do not know, but may my stay be a pleasant one.
How are you both an IT consultant and a follower of Felicia Day but not a gamer? :o

Good evening, Fallen Londoners,
I am The Woman.
I misbehave.
Greetings and well met, everyone. Long time player and forum lurker here.
According to my Profile, I am an inescapable, sagacious, irresistible and magnificent gentleman.
In reality I am a student of all things mysterious, be they physical out on the surface, or meta-physical here within Fallen London.
Good evening! Caledwych James (just James, please) at your service. I fancy myself a scholar, but often I end up just a soft-hearted bystander prone to giving up hansom cabs for manipulative old women. Maybe one day!
Hi everyone. My name is Sam7ii. The 7 is silent.
Good Evening!
I’m Andrea. I’ve been a citizen of Fallen London for a few years now.

Greetings and good evening! I’m Dr Morgan–Cecily, to friends–yes, a scholar of the Correspondence, though please just forget that messy business at the universe. I’ve been in Fallen London for quite some time now–one year, or two? The time does all seem to run together. And I’m sorry to admit have been hovering about the edges of this delicious gathering for quite some time before attempting to speak up.
In a former life, or at least a far away one, I’m Ash, a postgrad student of Welsh. Good to meet you all. :)
Good evening, ladies; gentlemen; and individuals of indistinct gender, I am Andromaeu E. Tamerlane and I am so pleased to make the acquaintance of all of you.
Good evening. As I’m sure you have all managed to gather, I am Curses, but to be more precise I am an irresistible, compelling, midnight and sinister… thing. As of now I have been playing for a fair matter of time and am completing my work in the Labyrinth of Tigers, having just recently attained a room at the ever-so-charming Royal Bethlehem Hotel. I will not prolong this anymore than necessary, and thus will end by nothing that it has been delightful to meet your acquittance. Let us hope it remains that way.
