The 'good evening' thread: introduce yourself here

Good day! My name is Samuel Chatham. I’m a simple man trying to find his way on the streets of London. I’m open to meeting new people here!

My profile: Fallen London

Greetings most Delicious and Friendly Gentlebeings …!

–> ‘Drazzle’ here, to familiars and friends - new in town, eternal in spirit - still getting my spats wet, but gradually wading out into the deep-end . . .

{{Let me just stay in character, whilst nodding a sagely acknowledgement, in aside -:- that, i may indeed Dream, sometimes - of being Another - (whether channelling or channelled-by) : an Entity most often known as Doctor_Static (or, UncleSumer, in certain astral domains - and, among other epithets) – But, evermore, i remain herein, as dubbed : }}

Yggdrasil ‘Drazzle’ Fawlty Psmyth - an eloquent, engaging and obsequious chap of impeccable intent, if whimsical intentions - serendipitous yet studious; (eclectic, self-educated, hyper-literate, an ‘idiom-savant’); prone to fine sentiment and deep insight, whilst dabbling at this and that. Fond of forming friendships with Muses of beauty and character - and chummily avuncular with all urchins, cats, and most strangers.

. . . Life’s a Riddle. The World’s a Game. Love is a Mystery. Reality is a Dream. Time is a Song. Mind is a Word. Anarch Is Logos . . . Magick IS Afoot . . . And - the Game of The Game is a Name of a Name!

Am currently making waves in various fields - (bit of a portraiturist, & amateur detective…) - but until recently, my mainstay, in earning crust, has been the career of &quotMinor&quot-Poet -:- With such highlights as an inspired Honey-raving essay, in the FL Journal, (some mere ‘galley-slave’ publishing - ghostwriting, or Nom d’Pluming - advice and gossip columns - as ‘Dour Prickchard’), freelance and commissioned rumour-mongering, dinner-speaking, public oratories, and philosopher baiting and debating, a few lectures at University, etc. -:- And a slim but vivid tale of love and horror: ‘The Honeycombs Of Heaven And Hell’ - [ope’ by quoth of Psmyth family Poem-Of-Reknown: ‘Across The Pale Parabola Of Joy’] - a chapbook yet making the rounds of Boheme and beyond - wherever a privvy needs at-hand pages of profundity and prosody! -:- Since, my second - the merely compelling far-shores, fantastic-journey-journal story : ‘Odysseus Of Otherwhere’ - surrealisticly subtitled ‘The Starveling-Cat Stows Away’

-:- And, now - my newest Tale - deemed nigh masterful, an exceptional heroic romance, a cosmic fable : ‘Nod, Norn, and Null’ - subtitled: ‘The Starveling-Cat Came Back - For More!’ -:- Written almost entirely on the grounds of the Shuttered Palace - by quiet quill - to mark my retirement as a mere ‘Minor’-Poet. -:- I am awhile a journeyman again - Until New Muse Beckons ! -:-

- Known as a Man of Letters, a Savant of Speech, a Weilder of Word, and Wreaker of Weird * - having got my start in the Neath at Veilgarden – arriving, as a Free man, destined, if not Fated, on the honeyed, haunted, heroic, heart-piercing occaision of the Valens’-Tines - February the fourteenth, 1897 . . . i have since taken up rooms above a bookshop - and steadily grow more un/settled, (and, at last, more aptly dapper) as i delve the neighboring Neath . . . ((* BTW: the string of bold ‘Titles’, above are merely self-description, not formal achievements! – But, they MAY be, Yet - for all i know, so far.)) . . . I try to keep my ambitions amorphous and open-ended - but i do fancy an ornate typewriter - an obsidian-black, tentacled model - that takes dictation & translates (Rubbery-Man, etc) - a too-costly custom make, as yet – so i shall make-do, with a matte-black ‘Fnord’. (&-or ‘Golden Goose Quill’)

. . . Hoping to make a few friendships - whilst thriving amidst Fallen London’s abundance of soma and maya, mana and mojo!

. . . My ephemeral yet driven ways find me busy for days on end - then, abruptly - off distracted, scrying afar, or deep in erudite libromanic hermitage, or Rip-van-Winkle slumber - perhap for nigh as long a span as i might be found hereabout - - - So anyone welcoming, mentoring, etc. - or who might feel we’d have sympatico, with aims towards cultivating a camradery, might best try a calling card hallo, and trust serendipity and synchrony to meet. And, By-the-by - i’m not all-ways such a babbler - between fits of blather, i DO manage the odd nutshell of gnomic epigram in my idiom.

Serene Salutations, to all and sundry,

Delicious and Friendly - for the nonce -

your humble savant -

Good Evening gentlemen.
I’m Foster, a young man from Port Cecil, highly interested in discovering London Secrets.

( also a sound engineer in real life… )

Good afternoon everyone! Names Soriel, I work for the constables, and try to keep all of London from going insane, including myself! I play as a fairly melancholy detective who works mainly for the constabulary and is almost constantly over nightmares 5, a side effect of the job 'eh? Fairly new to FL, and would be all up for some tips.

Heya there folks! I’m Will, or you can just call me Fey, I’m pretty brand new to this site but I’ve already fallen in love with this game and will gladly be look forward to it ^-^, I’m always open for RP! and love character interactions!

My hobbies include: not eating healthily food, lazing about, drawing, anime, connecting and talking with the dark old ones, music and writing my own stories

Name’s Nana, I’ve been playing FL for a little more than a year, very in love with the setting, nice to meet you! I like anime, videogames and languages more than anything :p I am also very happy to RP and meet new people!

Hello, I’m Calliope, or Callie for short! It’s just about been three months for me in FL, and I have been playing it every day! I love the setting, one of my faves in any piece of media, and is the sole reason why Sunless Seas is on my Wishlist along with Skies despite the latter being effectively an ‘upgrade’ of the former mechanically, purely because More Lore, and because I’m literally much closer to the Zee than the mysterious Skies in FL.

In additional interests, I basically spend my free time watching Let’s Plays of games on youtube, and very occasionally getting enough energy to play them myself! (another thing I really like about FL is that it’s both suited for short bursts and also does not drain my energy to play, so it’s basically perfect for my brain) Hope you all have a great time here, with me or otherwise. :3

Welcome to FL! Hope you have a great time in-game, nice to meet you ~

Nice to meet you too! ^_^

Good evening, ladies, gents and wonderful people of every other pronoun and denomination. I have been playing this game for almost two years and only now have grown interested in the forums. Hopefully we can get along.

My character is Klaada Magna, formerly a surface archeologist who shed her name upon fleeing to London because of certain uncouth bounty hunters who were hot on her trail. She now seeks a better life under the comforting shrouds of the Neath.

Love, Klaada.

Good evening, I don’t think I have posted here. Hi, I am Spooky, your friendly Goth Gamer. Been playing about 3 years now and going strong. I like coming up with complicated characters and seeing how they react to a variety of issues. I am not particularly interested in PvP, but we can discuss character clashes or disagreements. I like Table Top Gaming, Numbers Stations, Goth Dancing, and wlw culture.

I am playing Countess Caroline Karnstein, The Moral Hedonist, a mysterious Austrian woman who have layers and layers of secrets to be uncovered. Some secrets involve a few liberties with the setting but attempts have been made to keep her as close to default setting as possible, and such is not even her deepest and darkest secret. SAs are welcome, and it is always fun to get more people involved in her schemes.

She might be known to other characters for her Salon, The Labrys, which often has all female meetings and supports Nocturnals or Mycologenes and almost any school of female artists and writers. Of course all sorts of scandalous rumors are attached to it, and it is somewhat inspired by Natalie Clifford Barney’s historical Parisian Salon (itself inspired by Sappho’s school, as is Caroline’s). Alternately, a character may take an interest in the fact she is well connected to nearly any faction and the intrigues of the city a simple bohemian shouldn’t.

Regardless, have fun out there.

G’day. I’m Jack Capulet, totally not some sort of reluctant time-traveler who has no idea how I should act down here in London.

…And I’m a liar. Help me.

Good night to all. I am Bishop Titus Law. Author. Hedonist. Truth seeker. POSI. Explorer of all things neath. One of my favorites is the season of skies. I may or may not have given something to the gracious widow. And I do like to take trips to an irrigo hued cave. As you can expect my menaces are usually mid-high levels. But I take part in most activities if called upon.
“We all play the game. Whether we’re aware of it or not”

Hello, I am The Winking Weasel! In game I’m attempting to build the largest weasel army the Neath has ever seen and over take our fair city… Hmm that actually sounds pretty cool outside of game also.

Good evening all! I am Mr Dunkford Chickenfeather. Most people call me Dunket for some unknown reason. I would be delighted to aid you all and have you aid me. Know that I don’t take well to funny business though! Hope you’ll all join me for some heavy drinking and smoking soon. See you all soon perhaps?

Good evening, I’m not a ‘new’ player per say but I’m looking to get back into the game and my character is likely feeling particularly lonesome. Shoot me a message! Perhaps we can start a correspondence.
In-game name is Vincent Åsmund or unclevinny.

Good eternal unpassing evening, my friends. I am Charles von Hawthorne, or as I am known to players of the Gane: AntoineTheNerd. I am enjoying my time in the Neath greatly and currently I’m on my way to becoming a person of importance.

I have a patricular liking to pudding, video games and amusements, visual arts, and lying about my austerity to get in cahoots with the Church.

Good evening, respectable gentlepersons.

I am Doctor Sylas Crowe, a recent arrival in the grandest of cities, temporarily inconvenienced and living below respectable standards. Apparently the common folk have rather less need for modern medicine in a city where death holds no sway.

I’m open to invitations to just about anything.

Good morningless morning, delicious friends!

I am not as new as most of our fellows above, having left the surface some months ago, however this is the first time I am introducing myself on the forums formally.

My name, or what approximates it, is Salvage Tum. I, like most, fled misfortune on the surface to seek my destiny down here, amongst the bats and the rats.

I am available for anything, save events relating to the Name. I won’t soon make that mistake again, I assure you. I am also available as a Patron of the persuasion variety, should any have need of training.

Good darkened day, everyone,

I created an account because I wanted interact more with the fanbase of the game. It’s been five months since I started playing and this game scratch a particular itch of mine with its mix of gothic influence, mystery, black humor, oneiric reality, metaphysical conjecture and, most importantly, sadness and tragedy.

English is not my first language, so don’t hesitate to point any mistake or grammatical error
