Holy crap.
So I was at Ms. Plenty's Carnival, chugging spiced wine because... t'is the season.
I get a failure... then another failure... then another... and so forth, until I have a fail streak of 7 times in a row on a 50/50 check.
I then proceed to get a success... and then another... and so forth... until I ran out of actions with a win streak of, again, 7 times in a row.
Seven... Seven... Oooooooo.... For those who somehow don't know, the number 7 is an entirely different matter when it's related to Fallen London.
I got lightheaded. As in, in real life, this freaked me out. What does it mean?! Why did it have to be seven?! I would have simply been annoyed with a failure streak, but exactly seven?!!

The number 7 is for a lot of things other than Mr Eaten, you know. Seven cities, seven Treacheries, seven doors, seven labyrinths, seven coils, seven colors, seven sharpnesses. There you go, seven non-menacing sevens for you. All shall be well, even when it's sevenfold.

Ah yes. But why did seven eat nine? Can you solve that lofty riddle?

A truly terrible, and correct, answer.
