What on EARTH is cooking in Clarabelles tummy? A master?, Rats?, a starveling cat?, an angry dwarf?

WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Dr. Vaughan can go to hell. I am through with Dr. Vaughan. She is by far the most annoying leg of my Ambition.
Allow me to explain. I was entangled with a certain iron box at the same time as I was seeking Dr. Vaughan for more information about that creature in Clarabelle's belly. So I had actually tracked down AND MET with Dr. Vaughan, IN LONDON, and in fact, bribed her with a puzzling map, at the EXACT time as I was trying to seek her out at the University.
Oh how I raged when I had to grind up that expensive bribe at the University to "find Dr. Vaughan", when I had JUST seen her in London, to be told that she is on an expedition at zee. Then, tracking her down after an arduous zee-journey, only to be told that she won't speak to me unless I am the right sort of person.
Well you bet your beetles I am the right sort of person, considering I spent all that time taking care of and rescuing that crazy broad and her sister that I barely knew, infiltrating and burning down the Orphanage and now taking care of Clarabelle with that monster in her belly and even taking her out to zee for help—ALL without a single word of thanks or gratitude. Why the hell am I even obligated to help these people? OF COURSE I AM THE RIGHT SORT OF PERSON. Why the hell should I join a club and buy a cab to prove it?
And now, she STILL won't talk to me, because in the interim I had gotten kicked out of the University. At least I can farm some beetles at the island, I thought, so I can make whirring contraptions to finance my paper. But now I find out that in the future, Dr. Vaughan will want FIVE whirring contraptions and God knows what else?? To hell with Dr. Vaughan and Clarabelle too. The Masters can have them.
In fact, if I had any sort of free entity in the game, I would promptly betray the both of them to the Masters. I'd even offer to dispatch them myself.

We started off attempting a jewel heist; discovered a major government conspiracy; earned one of the Neath's most mysterious and dangerous operatives as our foe; and are at risk of witnessing the birth of an unearthly horror. We may also have picked up a practical use for the Correspondence to perform a kind of magic, and discovered secrets too terrible even to sell. Whatever our original intentions, this situation has gone X Files on us in a major way. I figure that at this point, we're just trying to come out alive, help the survivors, and see what's left over once the dust has settled.

It is explained a little further on. To spoil it would be criminal.

You will need a sufficient amount of Respectable (may I recommend a Membership in God's Editors?) and to be welcome at the university (though, as a bug, the 'unwelcome at the University' thing will appear, but lit up, if you are welcome). You will also need a low scandal.

Hell seems to have much more interesting titles. Connected the Church at over 300 is "Approved" just like it was at 150, unlike Hell and Society which grant new titles. I was hoping for something like "Safe from the Bishop of Southwark" (if such a thing is possible) or "Sainthood can be Arranged" (mostly joking). But I suppose conservative groups have conservative titles.
I had actually refused to join on the principle of refusing to alter scripture, but now I see a secret war between all the factions trying to edit the Good Book in their favor.
But on topic ladymadsci, I imagine the entire purpose of buying cities is so that the Bazaar can not only control major economic centers but to use these as the base for gaining the love stories the Bazaar so desperately desires. My question is why the Bazaar is so obsessed with money and taxes. The best way to control the people around it I suppose?
