Hannah Flynn Administrator Posts: 491 25 days ago	Whitsun is coming: a new festival in Fallen London! Eggs have abruptly appeared all over London – in bath tubs, balanced on chimneys, nestled in sofas, tucked in the holds of docked ships. And they're vast ones, the size of a beer barrel, an over-rounded dog, a prize-winning marrow. Acquire an egg. Apply augmentations to it, if you like, then attempt to hatch it. Why not? The d___ed things are everywhere. What will happen when they hatch? Who knows! We know many of you will want to prepare for the festival. There is nothing in particular that you need to do in advance. However, note that the Apicius Club, connoisseurs of novel flavours, will be reconvening for the festivities, and willing to take all manner of delicacies off your hands. Whitsun will begin on 11th May 2020, and conclude on the 22nd. -- Wields the news canon, aboard the hype train.

But I'm not sure everyone can participate, it used to be a select few (I think). It's card you draw on that day, it's a gold one, that offers you money for rare items you might still have on you for whatever reason. You can turn in violet amber, master's blood, a St. Cerise's candle.... then they pay you. It can be a great way to make echo's depending on what you have. Bear in mind, I have never gotten this card EVER. So, that's all I got. To clarify, De Gustibus was an event that occurred twice in the game's history, in 2014 and 2015. Failbetter unlocked a storylet for one day where, as you say, people could trade in rare items for money. The only reason it's more memorable than other retired snippets is that players could excange Master's Blood for a Sealed Copy of the Crimson Book, an exclusive item equivalent in value. People expected it to return in 2016, so its retirement was more memorable than that of other events with unique items. -- Optimatum, a ruthless and merciful gentleman.
