You'll never b e a maiden aunt

Oh well now youre beig ethical that always takes a lot more time and effort

Wiat, he's callling me scary?

He's... like one of those thunderstorms grown up...

It would be like a scientific experiment, right?

I thought of the other reason douglas vanessa -- she looks like alice. he has a type!

Yes!yyyyy

He can sent animals against her. They'd never be at a loss for things to do on a saturday night.

I'm going to carefullyt put my papers next to the iron so that they don't get wet and then I'm going to head into the thunderstorm and I love that that makes sense.

Find out who did them

My best friend

You just got your coolness points

There was nothing wrong with his offer. I'm never going to take him up one it. But I'm not insulted that he made it.

Is this a Mars thing?

No it's a faerie thing

Becasue edwina is kind of evil and hes kind of creepy

Its not clear that the evil and creepy harmonize well

Elaborate Social Mating Rituals

Get somebody else to do it

Would you?

Oh.

No but I can forsee far more excitement than you can handle if you spend any time in his company

They both weaqr black!

Ah Alice has brought a miniature Alice to give him. How sweeet of her

She is not a miniature alice

That is not the dimension to which I was referring


You make an excellent point. I very much wish I had a good answer for you.

Playing chess trying to leqarn things

Manipulating the situation, spying

Trying to make more friends than enemies

Having people work in sweatshops is just as bad as cutting otheir heads off and making them work as slaves.

Semantics!

I want us to subvert one another.

Sophronia?

Yes?

Does your family disapprove of our marriage?

You understand my family is somewhat atypical. Why do you ask?

And you know what's going on with my father. So let's go to Scotland.

Because if I'm driving him away...

F giggle -- I really don't think that's it.

He doesnt want to stay

i am very angry at your father because of this. you dont deserve this. its not fair

Snake people? Like in the bible?

That's not pre4cise enufI know. that's why we have to go ourselves.

Pennsington Man of Business -- what useful options might be opened to us if we created a corporation to hold some of the pennsington family wealth?

Is this about the brandy?

Agricultural goods and import-export exotic agricultural thing Unusual chemical compoundss found overseas

find a way to legally recognize some of the contributions made by nonmembers of the famikly

to give people shares

Swing by home of F. Earl en route to Edinburgh

Story Games Dump

Prepped a scenario for Kerberos Fate, which we barely began, as we focused on ethical medical issues from last time and on a ball at a young baroness's home. Matchmaking is in progress. Reginald decided he absolutely had to pair up the Odious Edwina Campion with someone to get her off the marriage market and put Schemes into effect. The player says she's like the Soulless Lord in Dance and the Dawn.

I was informed that Deathitude is a word. I remain skeptical.

The representative of a powerful evil fae tried to bribe the PCs to just stay out of his way. He told Sophronia that the fae in question could close the ways into faerie to her creator / father so that he couldn't abscond and would stay with her. Sophronia made a thunderstorm which was praised as part of the decorations, especially after she stopped and all the water vanished, doing no damage to hair or clothing. Sophronia has forbidden her fiance from trying to convince her creator / father to stay, standing firmly by Take Me As I Am for everyone, no matter how unhappy it may make her.

Reginald exchanged notes with the NPC Talos, a 20 foot tall iron golem who is Sophronia's cousin. Talos wants to help the Chartists. Reginald wants to make sure Talos understands that the Great Game of the World is not chess, but poker.

GM: You want to join him!

Player: No, I want him to join me!

GM: Semantics!

Player: I want us to subvert one another.

One player decided to be the translation track for the Talos-Sophronia conversation.

Sophronia: What have you been doing?

Talos: Playing chess and trying to learn things.

Translator: Manipulating the situation and spying.

Talos: Trying to make more friends than enemies.

Translator: Making enemies.

Later:

Talos: When you get married, there will be a truce during the wedding?

Sophronia: Of course there will be! Nothing will go wrong with the wedding!

Translator (with a nod to Dragon Half): Sophronia is a lousy prophet.

Translator #2: Yes that's why shes such good friends with Alice.

Reginald Coda

The London Times, April XX, 1841.

The Hero Hound of Whitechaple.

There is a Beast on the loose in the streets of Whitechaple, but this Creature appears to be Infused with the True Spirit of Christian Charity. Several Assaults and other Vile Crimes we Interrupted last night by what witnesses claim was a Giant Dog, possibly some Breed of Shepherd or Wolf-hound. While no Master was seen with the Creature, Witnesses say it was clearly Tame, as it's Demeanor quickly changed from Savage to Amiable, once it had Assured itself that all Villains had been Routed or Disabled, and accepted Thanks from the Victims before Vanishing into the fog.

---

The next morning, as the PCs are assembling to depart for points north, a porter arrives with Reginald's luggage. "Your pardon, mum, but Lord Sage asked that his things be stowed, and said that you could expect him to join you shortly."

A few moments later, a tremendous border collie appears and trots somewhat unsteadily to the carriage. As he approaches you notice that he smells like a cheap brothel. Putting a paw on step, he announces, in a decidedly inebriated version of Reginad's voice, "I... have been a. good. boy. I have been a Very good boy. There were these bad people, and I made them go away. And then eeeeeverybody was happy with me, and I got hugs, and bowls full of beer, and bacon, and more hugs, and a marrow bone to take home." He looks around cautiously. "I buried it in Milo's yard. SHHHHHHH, don't tell anyone, it's the one place they'll never look."

"And now, I am going to take a nap. Please wake me when we get close to the Earl's. I will probably need a bowl of water, if you would be so kind."

Reginald hops up into the carriage, curls up under one of the benches, and immediately falls asleep.

I don't need to have ALL of the best bacheloors in England for the Pennsingtons. Just most of them.

All of our terrible ideas have to be terrible in at least six ways

That vile thing?

He means a nail.

So long as he doesn't do anything irredeemably stupid.

Will ytou give him a list?

That would take too long.

So, she was seducing people to get them to do what she wants. Glass houses, stones. My throwing arm is hanging limply by my side.

The lizardfolk should stay in england so that in case we're away whtn the martians attack, they'll be here to defend it. Pause. That is NOT a sentence that I was imagining ever saying.

Most of us lucked into it

Lucked?!

Not necessarily good luck, in your case.

Fair.

Alice, I have a plan, but I may need you to talk to George to get the dertails just right

I dislike this plan. Already.

I think she would be a BETTER LEADER OF A SNAKE CULT THAN A SNAKE Cult

That's what I thought you were going to say. It is all completely immoral.

I think we should all stop talking about sex cults!

This isn't a very good place for a sex cult. It's drafty and cold.

I don't understand why you wish to turn people into whores. I thought we did things the other ways, turning whores into maids!

That was before I joined your lot.

Oh how many bastards do you have floating around.

Zero

How did you manage that?

Ask Angelina. I'm sure she know the anatomy

Clink. Clink

I'm sorry. I tried to get him to talk to Angelina

Yes, I wish he had

And the rest will be inducted into the Kerberos irregulars

We have irregulars?

We do now.

Youre trying to bait me. That's very good.

Cult, Club

I don't see why they have to have a sex cult

My darling, I don't know how to put this. Certain people have certain tyupes of talent. Which ch\\shouldnt go to waste

George has certain types of talent and doesn't let it go to waste. He doesn't have a cutl.

Actually he sort of does.

I'm starting to sdislike Winston less

I think Winston should have No Thanks you I already have a religion

Yes I think it is probably better if we do that after

He doesn't belive you

IU'm not sure that I believe me but I'm going to go on as tho I do
