Chris, maybe Mr Murgatroyd is actually running Failbetter and Alexis simply never told you?

Mr Murgatroyd has his own sidebar snippet, too:
Murgatroyd is one of the Neath's more successful entrepreneurs. London shop-shelves are stacked with his fungal tea, his fungal crackers, his fungal beer.
I'm looking forward to learning more about him!
never seen that snippet. that should explain a bit. that was the answer i was expecting. he seems to have a thing for fungus.
yeah, im looking foward to learn more about him. especially how he looks like (provided he doesnt use a recycled character art).

It's turtles all the way down Chris. Whenever one, wonderingly, asks how deep something goes that's just always the answer. (Well, either "turtles all the way down" or "42", I do sometimes confuse my Answers)

I can just imagine the banner now:
"A cloaked messenger from the High Wilderness appears at the gates of the cracker factory. Find out what happens next in the new story, 'Heavens to Murgatroyd', coming soon"

if there really is a new story. i hope it isnt an exceptional story.
since he has a teahouse, crackers, elixirs. he seems to be making this stuff to achieve a higher goal. there must be reason why he has an elixirs and many creature seems to like the crackers (including a sick rhino !).
whether he genuinely want to make people lives easier, only makes the stuff for the money, to be notable and popular or other higher important goal. we may never know.
this whole thing is interesting

New theory: Mr. Murgatroyd is actually Mr. Chimes. Similarly to taking care of Exceptional Friends, Mr. Chimes uses the alias of Mr. Murgatroyd to take care of the people!

wow. does exceptional stories start at house of chimes ?.
if yes. my theory is Murgatroyd/Chimes is the cause of the story's events so every month 'troid/chimes causing a trouble for others to solve.
however, if chimes is not 'troid then above theory have nothing to do with 'troid. but the chimes theory is still valid

Perhaps his real job is being a PR manager for a cannibal dining society and this is an elaborate plan to promote cannibalism.

Ambition: Enigma was flat-out stated to be a joke in an interview, and then it showed up later, as we know!

Social Actions: send them to Kade Carrion (she/her; no Tournament of Lilies, please). an_ocelot has gone NORTH and cannot benefit from social actions!

you know what ?. this is how i actually make stories in real life. make a joke, reference or a pun on an existing thing. then i make more jokes/pun within the previous joke/pun still relating to the existing thing (or other things). after i got enough material, i increase the "Potential" quality of the joke/pun to convert it into a new, original story (fanfictions excluded).
i ended up with a bunch of unwritten stories. i was trying to make a extensive research document about 'Troid, starting from why i started having interest with him, to references/similarities to other series and how it connects to FL's 'Troid. since 'Troid have no significant characteristics, i have multiple theories on how his character may be. some of them from the results of the said document.
above text never happened. its too boring to even write.
