Well, I'm not sure if this is against the rules or not. If it is, please let me know and I'll delete this thread (or possibly edit the rules, so that we could post what events we liked without actually posting the content.)
We all know that Fallen London's writing is superb. Whether we're giggling at some turn of events or rapturously drinking in a newly-uncovered fragment of mythos (or, in the case of some masochists, cursing as they give blood sacrifices to Alexis Kennedy atop his throne of skulls), it's the content that keeps us all hooked. But there are some moments where you read something and just can't help but smile at a turn of events, a play on words, the way your character narrates something. Maybe you just wanted to give whoever wrote said piece a high five over the vast reaches of the internet. This is a thread to share those moments.
Put all storylets in spoilers. Please avoid posting any fate-locked content, as per FBG's wishes. Presumably, it'd be best to avoid posting any content that's considerably spoilerrific, such as something that refers to clandestine information in a questline, or such. I'll start with something that amused me greatly last night, when my character was hunting down an arsonist...
[spoiler]You do not find the arsonist, but the things you hear of them! A series of jewellery shop robberies. A passing acquaintance with high society. A series of wins at the ring fights. Entanglements with surface folk. Even forays into the arts of detection. Just who is this complex individual?
-By Goatdancer[/spoiler]
It would seem my character is hunting down the most elusive and terrifying of beasts - a Player Character. :P

It's very early on, but one of my favorite lines thus far was something to the effect of:
"Screams are like wallpaper here. No one will come."
Ferociously evocative.

My favourite bit of text in the game is not really from a storylet but from one of the little snippets of lore text we see to the side of the page:
What is the Vake?
They say it's not a monster at all. It's a man who dresses up as a bat. To, ah, prowl the city by night. But that would just be stupid.

I just started dealing with a certain infestation in my lodgings, and it is a ridiculous amount of fun.

...I don't know how I forgot this one.
[spoiler]You've been murdering people. Again. All right, there is a degree of chaos, but you can't be blamed, can you? Not when they keep STANDING STILL. God. At least you can take the products and results and make hats. Yes, let them stare. [/spoiler]
I don't remember who wrote that one, but I cannot look at it without laughing hysterically.

I love the visual in this one:
[spoiler]'Goden! Na harash walkskies. Inchen besty ir yawen walkskies! Thrown diwon na goden thrisk detectoor.' The Topsy King looks sad. His bat makes little pushing motions.[/spoiler]
Aww, little batsie.

Outsmarting an army of assassins by sniping them all from a rooftop was certainly amusing. (( Young buck oppertunity card. ))
There's a couple of other that ill post later.

No cats or investigations of photographers please.
Same goes for Sparring,Loitering,Suppers and Games of chess! Sure I'll accept them occasionaly but I wont help you grind them most of the time.
But calling cards are highly welcome! (Got too much influence for cards at the moment. Sorry!)
