Hello, Hallowmass Revellers!
The time for gathering confessions has passed. Now, the time has come to either honour or betray the trust placed in you. If you gathered confessions from notable characters of Fallen London, you now have to make your choice. Look for the Errors of London card, available all throughout London!
The Errors of London:
Good secrets are like corpses dumped into the river: once they surface, they draw the attention of inconvenient authorities and wheedling pests.
Notable Londoners have shared their secrets with you. How will you respond to the inevitable Confession-seekers?

I'm absolutely loving this story structure, not to mention the writing. Can't wait to meet the rest.
[spoiler]So, the Outcast fell in love with a Lorn-Fluke? Sounds like a prickly relationship. Poor soul.[/spoiler]

Oh my... that actually made me feel quite sympathetic for the Bishop, and I have been no great fan of him in the past. I'm sure that goodwill will dissolve when the season has passed and he challenges me to an impromptu wrestling match in his office.

I was moved by the Bishop's confession. It was honestly the best one out of all of them, in my opinion.
And now I'm torn about whether or not to betray him. Both honoring his trust and betraying it are equally in-character for my Hellfarer. She's loyal to the Embassy but she has a sentimental streak. I'll update this post when I've decided, ha.
Update: She betrayed him.

Ahaaaaa. That makes sense; thank you!
[spoiler]Also, I'm more and more convinced that the Haunted Doctor killed March. And... if he was a devoutly Christian, temperance-campaigning coffee trader called John, with offices in the publishing district... that suggests John Cassell of the Working Man's Friend.[/spoiler]

I kept the Nacreous Outcast's confession and find the conversation with the Constable quite hilarious. I can just imagine how my character "translated" the confession with a straight face.

So what happens if you do have a Nacreous Outcast? Is there an alternative option? Hopefully someone can echo it, if so...

The option and storylet text is different, and less, and the result text is the same. The confession level for having them and not having them are both 1, so those that have the Survivor are unlikely to get different text when consigning. Unlikely, but possible still.

I'd be terribly unsatisfied if the Merciless Modiste gave us a confession that isn't live from NiteBrite.
Personally speaking, I'd like a confession from Penstock. Or Lilac. "I was so solemn serving the Bazaar and something, then I boinked a tiger  "

If you'd like to see the various betrayal texts, my alt Gerald has them here; my own account has most of the honourings (but not all - I think I'm going to keep a couple of them on tenterhooks all year round, if at all possible. I have a poor postman who's been shivering at my doorstep for almost a year, after all; they'll be in good company)!

Ignacious, the Fluid Professor, he will accept most social invitations, including boxed cats and affluent photographers (but only betrayals), though he is absent-minded and might take more time than entirely necessary. He apologizes.

I'm hoping that the total number of people selecting each option is being tracked somewhere and we'll still see a cool next step for these stories.

I really felt sad for the Bishop. Aside, from Feducci, he's one of the few people that my character would be proud to call "brother".

If Lord Scarlett had been in command of the Heavy Brigade, as he was at Balaclava, he would have dispersed those Devils forthwith. Alas, he died in 1871, he must have been much too feeble to charge with them.

Pride's Confession is the Bandaged Poissonier, and a prideful error it was too! Now I'm on tenterhooks (possibly in The Tenterhooks, Spite) to find out who the Whimsy confessor is. Assuming they're, like the rest, a Sunless Sea officer and an FBG original, that leaves... the Carnelian Exile, the Brisk Campaigner or... the Monkey Foundling might qualify??

Or at least not to the same one as usual. (it probably will be beneficial, if not in spirit then in material rewards.)

I agree that a confidence is a confidence, so I will be betraying no one despite any short-term advantage.
Well, except for poison and dupes, but it's hardly a betrayal when it's asked for!

[spoiler] So if, say, someone wanted to hinder the Liberation of the Night as much as possible (TEAM MASTERS FOREVER), would it be best to betray the Doctor's confession, or stay quiet? [/spoiler]

I think that, rather, betrayals get half the spirit but double the material rewards.

I betrayed them. All of them. ALL of them. And it felt d--n good!
I wonder what happens now. Will the betrayals have any consequenced next Hallowmas, I wonder? I hope so. Seems like a perfect story opportunity.

I don't think the betrayals will really amount to anything because they didn't add any particular quality. Getting the confession added one, disposing of it removed it.
I really enjoyed this, though! The Bishop of Southwark is one of my favs.

The choices of what to do with these folks' confessions are now open! So far, Sir Fred's kept every secret - I wasn't always sympathetic to the confessors, but a confidence is a confidence. And I took some pleasure in telling the devil to go... home. I'm not entirely sure I understand the final choice, though, and what it implies.
