[OOC] Intrigue in the Fifth City - A Fallen London RP

[Hekazu]

And off we go! @Lady Selune@Templar Knight@shylarah@Sofaking Fancy@Gordian Nought@Ms Ravenwinter

[Ms Ravenwinter]

So, life got a lot more cluttered for me about a week ago and I feel like it's probably going to remain so for the coming months, if not increase in clutter in the next few weeks. I'm already rather behind on other RPs, and I should probably drop from this both in an effort to free myself to hopefully catch up on previous obligations and to not cause much damage here by setting things up only to be absent in their payoff. If I'm wrong and my schedule opens up soon, I'll notify you all, but you can probably include anybody you have on the backlog. Sorry for any disappointment @Hekazu and @Gordian Nought, but hopefully I can make it up to both of you by compensating in our other RPs.

This fucking sucks. I was really looking forward to this.

[shylarah]

@Ms Ravenwinter Aww, sorry to hear it. Take care!

[Hekazu]

@Ms Ravenwinter
Aww, that's indeed a shame. Well, I wish you luck in your future endeavours!

As for the group size now, I think it is still fine. If we drop one more person I'll open the search again, but until then things are good as they are.

@Gordian Nought@Sofaking Fancy
Two days or so, a bit under I believe, to the previously agreed upon deadline of a week. I hope you can find the time to post before that.

[shylarah]

*tempted to post again*

[Hekazu]

Feel free to. You have something to react to after all, @shylarah.

[Sofaking Fancy]

Definitely.

Sorry, this week got away from me in the worst way. I work in a hospital and flu epidemic has been BAD. But I have this weekend off, and so I'm going to buckle down and crank out a post.

[shylarah]

@Sofaking Fancy Oh jeez.

[Gordian Nought]

I will also get cracking. In the next 24 to 48 hours, there should be a post from the gabby gambler.

Blessed be the dice.

[Hekazu]

I'll be posting tomorrow. I do hope @Gordian Nought has found the time to post prior to that.

[Gordian Nought]

Yes, I am working on my post now. Sorry for the delay again, @Hekazu.

[Hekazu]

I have heard a wild rumour that our last missing piece is working on a post as I speak. Bloody ninjas... I will head to bed now and if I do not see a post in the morning as I wake up I cannot help but rule our gambler out. If I do though... well, we'll finally get on with it. Do note that this has been an exception to the usual and I am not looking to be quite as lenient towards cases of no-post without any prior warning. But I have been provided an adequate reason in private, so it shall pass for now.

[shylarah]

Ninjaaaas!

[Gordian Nought]

Let me know if I took too much liberty in the post/introduction.

[shylarah]

@Gordian Nought MAN. I knew from your name you'd be a writer, but WOW. *sifts through the shiny words* You've got FL's sort of style down.

[Sofaking Fancy]

All these posts are great.
Also, I looked up plain English names for surnames, and I didn't realize that Babbage was in use in Fallen London. Then again, it's been a while since I've fully explored it, and there's a lot of information. So, for now... no relation. XD

[Gordian Nought]

@shylarah@Sofaking Fancy

Aw shanks, guys! (blushes)

[Gordian Nought]

Just in case anyone was interested in the mathematics behind the cryptography mentioned in Alfred's scandal, I would be more than obliged.

For now, here is a taste of the Faro: plus.google.com/101584889282878921052…

@Gordian Nought Alys would love this. Shame she's not about.
