Fallen Londoners…. They are an odd bunch.
As an accompaniment to that last brave zeefarer’s submission.

I’ve become slightly sidetracked in Fallen London by trying to figure out the mysteries of Hunter’s Keep. I’m not sure if any followers are interested in FL, but I thought I’d post my notes as much to get them out of my head as anything. Heavy spoilers under the cut for all the Hunter’s Keep content, though nothing else.
An excellent analysis! Here’s another piece of the puzzle for you: if you’re still wondering about what you saw in the well, you might want to keep an ear open for the word ‘moon-miser.’ Pursue the Affair with the Box.

What are “Muff Pistols”?
A muff was basically a large puffball made of fur with two hand openings for which to keep your hands warm. They were a popular fashion accessory for women in Georgian Era and early Victorian Era Britain. Muff pistols were small boxlock pistols that were designed to be compact enough to be hidden within a muff, and thus became a popular ladies gun. They were originally made with flintlock mechanisms but were later made in percussionlock as well. Often these pistol had triggers that folded up so that they would be easier to carry and draw.
Over time however, they became very popular with men as well because of their small size and concealability. Back then people of both sexes wore very heavy clothing so it was easy to conceal these small pistols in a pocket or fold of clothing. Muff pistols were most popular in Europe and especially England. They never caught on in America, where derringers were common.
My icon is a set of muff pistols.
Interesting, and might be useful if I must mingle with the blue-blooded folk again come winter. But as ever, I seriously doubt either of these would stop much more than a mildly determined rat… surface threats may be dire indeed and certainly widespread but they hardly seem to be as… resilient… as a foe is down here.
The humans come back when you shoot them and the beasts will make you wish that you hadn’t.

I’m not overly proud of this one (see tags), but it’s been sitting on my comp for a month so I figured I might as well post it since I wasn’t deleting it.
If someone wants to offer advice on how to improve, I’m keeping the SAI file for a while.

There are so many ways to describe this dress, but I think it will let it speak for itself.
