The Revolutionary Firebrand

Unlocks: Connected: Revolutionaries 5
He's a mysterious figure in Fallen London, known for his reserve as much as for his good looks. It's rare that he attends social events, so when you spot him at a gathering you should seize the opportunity.

Approach him

He presents an intimidating façade, standing alone, his aristocratic nose deep in a book. But perhaps he is just shy?

Play him at his own game

Be alluring and he'll come to you.

The Revolutionary Firebrand's Card

Unlocks: Intimate with a Revolutionary Firebrand 1
You have caught the attention of a mysterious revolutionary. He has sent you a visiting card. What secrets lie beneath his delicious reserve?

Send your own card by return

Now he has made a move, shouldn't you show him you are interested? Are you interested? Or do you have more pragmatic motives?
Persuasive challenge, straightforward ??

Do nothing

However difficult it is, you must play the waiting game with a gentleman like this.

Debating with the Revolutionary Firebrand

Unlocks: Intimate with a Revolutionary Firebrand 4
The mysterious gentleman pays you a call. He does not stay long and he talks only of politics. But he mentions a debate in a room above The Medusa's Head later this week. Was that an invitation? Perhaps you should go.

Start an argument with him

At this kind of salon, there is a social obligation - he can't reasonably decline.

Break through the Revolutionary Firebrand's Reserve

Unlocks: Intimate with a Revolutionary Firebrand 5
The gentleman is reserved to the point of stand-offishness, but he has taken a liking to you. Try to get closer to him.

Suggest a walk in Tyrant's Gardens

Feed the bats at twilight. It's very romantic.

Dinner in Spite

The Doubt Street Scullery should be a good choice. Democratic, unpretentious, hearty.

Appeal to the Revolutionary Firebrand's chivalry

Unlocks: Intimate with a Revolutionary Firebrand 6
He's the kind of the man who needs to play the hero. Manufactured distress should do the trick.

'Sprain' your ankle

Go walking in the Forgotten Quarter. 'Trip' on one of those treacherous loose paving-stones.
(Persuasive challenge)

Feign emotional upset

A tear or two, a sigh, a whispered reassurance that all is well, no, really, it is far too trivial a matter to bother him with…
(Persuasive challenge)

Revolution and the Firebrand

Unlocks: Intimate with a Revolutionary Firebrand 7
He never talks about his revolutionary activities. Show him you can be trusted.

Invite him to your Lodgings

You can have a more…open conversation there.
(Persuasive challenge)

Engineer an invitation to his lodgings

Surely he will open up to you in the safety of his own home?
(Persuasive challenge)

Ask a Revolutionary to recommend you

He might trust you more if someone he respects puts in a word.

(Connected: Revolutionaries challenge; modest at 8)

Your deeds will speak for themselves

You've committed arson in the service of liberty. What better recommendation could there be?
