Opportunity Cards

girlpurple.png

Lilac (formerly Frequent, now Abundant)

That winter, you saw the woman in the lilac dress everywhere: whispering urgently in the stalls at Mahogany Hall, striding along the Haymaker Road with compass in hand, watching the executions at Hangman's Arch with an unreadable expression.

Did she approach you, or did you approach her, in the end? Certainly she looked you straight in the eye. "You are desired," she says. "Give me the proof of it, and I'll make arrangements."

Desired?

Perhaps so, but you don't have any particular proof of it. Or you don't care to share it. Choose this option if you don't want to exchange gifts.


Arrangements for what?

A reasonable question.
[This storylet will not cost you an action!]


Surrender a gift

If you've received more than one gift, you can choose which.


Ask her something different

Do you know anything about - tattoos?

An Encounter at the Feast (Abundant)

Your carousing has drawn attention…. or perhaps, behind the scenes, a mysterious woman in a lilac dress has made arrangements. How will you take advantage? This can gain you another companion - not a Constant Companion, just a Pet, though you may be able to commit later.
[Unlocked with Masquing 1]

Neurasthenic Assassin

You whistle a cheerful tune as you pass his chair in the Long Spoon. He winces. "Keep it down!" he hisses. Then your eyes meet. The Assassin is Shadowy and Dangerous.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 3]

The Presbyterate Diplomat

The hackney-carriage pulls away. "Wait!" a voice cries. What is that accent? He swings up into the cab beside you: athlete's physique, direct gaze, marvellous tailoring. "I do apologise. But I simply have to get to the Consulate." He pauses, as if he's recognised you. The Diplomat is Watchful and Persuasive.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 10]

The Canny Costermonger

"Blush-fungus! Blush-fungus, fresh and tasty! Tasty as yer birthday!" Deceptively sweet face. Voice like a seagull in a hurry. She sees you looking, and grins. "Tasty as yer birthday," she repeats. The Costermonger is Watchful and Persuasive.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 3]

The Afffable Spy

The Singing Mandrake is rife with bunting. The fire blazes. The dancing goes on and on and on. A fiddler simply will not stop. You can't make the publican hear you. Then a woman at your elbow makes flicking finger-gestures, and he nods. "Speaks Great Game, when he admits to it," she confides. "No, this one's on me. Haven't we met before?" The Spy is Watchful and Shadowy.
pawnsmall.png [Unlocked with Connected: The Great Game 1]
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 10]

The briefest of encounters

Candle-light in Hollow Street. Breathy laughter. Sudden silence.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 1]

The Hollow-Eyed Tragedian

You fling pebbles idly into the Stolen River, one by one, reciting a melancholy monologue from a lunar sort of tragedy. Quite suddenly, a Drownie's head breaks the tarry surface. "I wrote that!" he cries - approvingly? Accusingly? Wonderingly? You speak the next line together. The Tragedian is Dangerous, Shadowy and Bizarre.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 40]

A Profoundly Educated Gentleman

A masked salon at Cavalier House. A woman with a tinny voice is reading extremely heated poetry. Heated, but not very good. Across the room, a dapper bearded fellow in a map-mask watches you carefully. The Educated Gentleman is Watchful, Persuasive and Respectable.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 80]

A Green-Eyed Devil

Dante's Grill, where the souled meet the unsouled over coffee and ribs. Dante's Grill, where you find yourself seated at the bar next to a striking devil in evening dress of unfamiliar cut. His eyes are mossy green: his teeth are an unnervingly brilliant white. His smile is oddly shy. "Penny for your soul?" he asks. He corrects himself. "Thoughts! That said, if you're offering - " The Devil is Watchful, Shadowy and Dreaded.
devilsmall.png [Unlocked with Connected: Hell 3]
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 100]

Lettice, the Mercy

Heartscross Cemetery is pale and empty in the moonlight. "You been stood up too?" a voice raps. A bandaged figure uncoils from the shade of a withered tree. "Hang on, softskin. Don't I know you?" Lettice is Dangerous, Persuasive and Dreaded. And don't you forget it.
tombcolonistribbonssmall.png [Unlocked with Acquaintance: the Mercies 1]
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 40]

An Irresistible Lady

An organ recital at St Fiacre's Cathedral: Bach and Franck but also a peculiar composition with traces of the new Infernal influence. Audacious programming! And now, an interlude among the more frenzied celebrations. The audience are masked. A woman in a Parabola-linen frock, fierce as a battleship and almost as big, adjusts a rose-mask and winks at you. A vicar notices and almost falls out of his chair. The Irresistible Lady is Dangerous, Persuasive and Dreaded.
adorationsmall.png [Unlocked with Masquing 80]

A Quiet Deviless

On a street off Chalkery Road, a gang of masked youths is taunting a Deviless as she hurries home. She turns, and you recognise her face. She can probably take care of herself: but if she tears anyone to bits, it'll cause her difficulties. And ruin her dress. Do you care?

Mrs Gebrandt asks for your help

F.F. Gebrandt receives many requests for medical information - and also for help with less scientific problems. It's a busy time of year. A number of ghost-writers have been drafted in to help.

Be sympathetic

'Dear Mrs Gebrandt, I have come to suspect that my fiance has been walking in Tyrant's Gardens with a lady of somewhat Ill Repute. What am I to do?'

_ Persuasive Persuasive challenge (1.2% per point)

Be cruel to be kind

A dance with devils!

They say the Brass Embassy holds the best masked balls in all of Fallen London. So you won't want to miss their Exceptional Rose extravaganza.

Bluff your way in

The guest list is just for show, anyway. The more mortals the merrier, as far as the devils are concerned.

Attend as an invited guest

If you agree to do just a tiny bit of spying, a contact in the Church can obtain you a coveted ticket to the ball.

Actually, you'll be meeting someone there

There's a certain devil who'll be looking for you there. (A matter of luck: it could go either way.)

Disrupt an inconvenient romance

Someone wants you to hasten the demise of a certain ill-advised liaison…

_ Persuasive Persuasive challenge (1.2% per point)

Rid yourself of that irritating suitor

Someone won't leave you alone. Any charm they once had for you is quite, quite gone. (A matter of luck: it could go either way.)

Take advantage of others' distraction

They're busy gazing into each other's eyes. Serve them right if their pockets got picked.

_ Shadowy Shadowy challenge (1.5% per point)

Make a profit

Urchins peddle shoddy, vastly overpriced gifts this season. Demand always outstrips supply. There is surely room in the market for you. (A matter of luck: it could go either way.)

Enjoy a theatrical entertainment

A romantic walk in Veilgarden isn't complete without taking in a street performance.

Celebrate the Feast of the Exceptional Rose!

Love is kind, except when it's cruel. At this time of year, Fallen Londoners celebrate by sending unexpected gifts to each other. Kind gifts, cruel gifts, and those that are both. Join the Feast, watch the crowds, or send something special to someone special. Or someone special to something special.

Watch passers-by

At the Feast of the Rose, it is acceptable to go masked in the street. Who has chosen which persona? What does it reveal about them?

Requires 5 Fate

Fate-locked content must not be placed on the wiki, per the developers.

Send a Box of Potentials

In the heart of the Bazaar, close your eyes and turn right, turn left, turn left, turn right. There is a confectionery draped in umber velvet which will sell you these, if you don't ask too many questions.

Send a Key-to-Heart Dagger

Each year, Mr Hearts sends one of these to Mr Iron. Each year, Mr Iron promptly auctions it off. So, over time, they enter public circulation. There is a quaint superstition that the Constables do not make arrests if one is used in commission of a crime of passion. Quaint, and regrettable.

The best traditions are enigmas. Why would you send your beloved - or your enemy - a glass of teeth, each guaranteed to originate in a different jaw? If anyone knew, it wouldn't be nearly so traditional.

In honour of the Feast of the Exceptional Rose, Mrs Plenty has decreed an Oriental pleasure garden. Well, what she considers an Oriental pleasure garden might be like.
