Today, Mr Iron and Mr Pages engaged in what we will courteously call "a spirited conversation". Could they be hinting at forthcoming Fallen London content? You can find a Storified version here.

Calumny! I never "make up words". I discover them. In service to my bailiwick I must be part logonaut, part archaeloquiologist.

It seems to have been positively received, so hopefully the Masters will feel inclined to do more.

I fear that people may have missed the most critical part of this exchange. Which is that Mr Pages is known to have an issue with drinking ink, which is fantastic.
To save you some trouble Ben, Mr Pages is in the habit of simply making words up, frequently portmanteaus, whilst some are obscure older words, most are freshly minted, so to speak.

Pages is a verbal chef. He doesn't serve from a tin, but takes words with which we are familiar and seasons them to achieve something higher.

The idea of the masters using twitter almost amuses me more than the exchange itself.

I want to know why the Vake has been so lax of late. Perhaps he's learning needlepoint? Tinkering on the Bat-Landau? Searching for a good dentist?

You are quite correct! I am apoligiant, surely, an explorer of the fields of regret, indeed, an atoneer.

I can't get over the ink line. So hilarious, regardless of whether Mr Pages has or hasn't actually ingested ink. Of course all the rest of it was quite entertaining too.
