Of course.
Why would I not now pick the train?
I mean really?
Hells secret divice is an Avid Cleaner?
A Well Vacuum?
That's the best hell can do?
I am very disappointed.

I have to say I am rather disappointed that I am unable to finish without missing so many snippets?
While this 'time limit structure' helps to convey a better sense of urgency, and- in this case- helps convey a (bit too) clear sense of progress; this limited amount of story makes it hard to put together a cohesive set of events without relying on chance.
This is a massive pain for those who stress the cohesiveness of their mantlepeice to painful degrees.
Those who repeated the trip to flute street 3-4 times, just to make sure that they got all the text they possibly could; all in a way that fits together nicely.
Those who are fairly certain that if they ever end up looking through the first few pages of their journal;
the important storys they did'nt/forgot_to record, or the complete lack of order in said recordings will drive them to reset they're accounts.
Well, I suppose all I can do now is make my last choice.
Tell me; what do you think will make the wind more obedent:
The Neaths Most Boring Lecture?
Or The Futures Music?

It is Hell we are talking about, they probably couldn't wait to reveal their device to some poor fool, either way, I didn't play the story but from what I see there it seems like you were pretty lucky to have such an amazing piece of the future.

Honestly, cats not liking vacuum cleaners isn't really related to Hell. Cat/Hell relations are a pretty stable we-both-profit-eachother-in-some-way-so-lets-be-bros kinda deal. (See Labyrinth of Tigers)

It seems to fit Hell's theme of being slightly chronologically displaced compared to London.

this story had to follow the persona engine and 12:15 from moloch street, and boy did they deliver. I loved it.

Could anyone PM me the results of giving the Wind to Hell please?
Sidenote: This is now my favorite story of my favorite season. Absolutely loved the exhibition.

I liked the story quite a bit. True - there were no specific new characters (either protagonists or antagonists), but not all stories necessarily need them, since we have our own character driving the story.
Things I particularly liked:
- The text was excellent. Both the actual exhibitions, and the Airs flavour text.
- I liked the variety of exhibitions and how Airs were recycled. It allowed enough flexibility to explore around while still seeing new things. It didn't take me long to find and try all options.
- The humour (e.g. devils playing that "devilish music" on the gramophone, but regretting they are not the ones actually responsible for it)
- The pacing - excellent pace for the first half (exploring) and excellent pace for the second half (frantic race to stop the Wind).
- Creepy creepy atmosphere - once the Wind is released. Some of the best writing is here, in the implications on the crowds.
- Small references to what lies beyond the Avid Horizon, and of the Empress' interest.
Sure, it wasn't Epic in scope, but not all Exceptional Stories are (and can be). While not the absolute best ES I've played, it was certainly among the top of them, and taken together, this Season of Skies was the most consistent in quality for me, with all 3 stories being excellent. I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the Season, hoping it would be as good as the conclusion to the Season of Wrecks.
Time to update my personal ranking of all Exceptional Stories:
[spoiler]
Excellent:
- Lost in Reflections
- Cut with Moonlight
- The Frequently Deceased
- The Waltz that Moved the World
- Flint
- The Century Exhibition
- The Twelve-Fifteen From Moloch Street
- The Persona Engine
- Where You and I Must Go
Good:
- The Pentecost Predicament
- The Calendar Code
- The Art of Murder
- The Chimney Pot Wars
- The Final Curtain
- Our Lady of Pyres
- Five Minutes to Midday
- Discernment
- The Haunting at the Marsh House
Meh:
- The Last Dog Society
- The Seven-Day Reign
- The Court of Cats[/spoiler]

I've got one more for "The Wind of Ages":
The Wind howls, far away. You can barely hear the screams of the crowd above it
(Interestingly I got that with an Airs-value above 100 when all the other results were in the [1:90]-range.)

How do I start the Exhibition Story? I'm an Exceptional Friend but when I go to my study it says I have to study ash and honey? Do I have to do the previous stories to get this one to activate?

Where is it? I can find where to start it.
Also I've noticed that some of the stories I've done or under Fate to pay to reset? I thought I could replay them.

Lodgings or watchmaker's hill. And if you bought it before you get a reduced price to replay it, but its not free.

I really enjoyed this story. It was fun and lighthearted and hilarious. There were some interesting bits of lore, and I feel like it really captured the zeitgeist of the era, the feeling that people were living in a time of progress, the scientific optimism. I just felt like my character got to have a nice break, terrifying space wind notwithstanding.
Some things about the mechanics were fiddly, but I'm sure other people have already covered that. This is one of my favorites.
