Right, I forgot that 7 was the number of the those who are Unaccountably Peckish and their master. Though the claws could have been any master. I'm more curious about their wings. Fallen angels or batmen? As often as the masters are associated with bats and echoes it wouldn't surprise me.

That's another interesting thing you find down there. Some fossils that might be bats, birds or angels.

Though, personally, my money is on bats.

Specifically winged creatures descending from towers. I only mention fallen angels because we already have devils, and the bazaar was once between the stars. That's another bonus of Heart's Desire; the creatures who run the Marvelous only play on certain planetary alignments so I have no doubt later on it will revel some major secrets.

I recall mention of something related to that cropping up when you play a certain opera for the Empress. You know the one I mean, I hope.

There's certainly something going on with the Bazaar and celestial bodies.

[Saint Nil]

I looked up the specific part you were talking about:

You've read the libretto, of course, but you couldn't have imagined the full impact of the work in performance. The Bell and the Candle is erotic beyond the human experience. You find yourself enamoured of the unseen sky. Desperate with desire for the endless spaces between stars. Consumed with furious lust for the striking of bells. What is this doing to you?

This largely refers to the Correspondence, and we have also learned :

The Senior Reader of the Department of ????? was trying to talk to celestial bodies.

Also, the Masters of the Bazaar have shown a unique weakness something to sound. Intoxication? Mr. Wines likes singing, Mr. Pages has a music box, Mr. Chimes is never around when the Bell rings.

The mystery is the best part of the game.

[Tome]

Oh, totally agreed. I just hope they don't lock those answers entirely away behind one of the Ambitions.

I am a bit of a sucker for a good secret myself. Must be why I've been heading NORTH lately.

Ooh, I never thought about Mr. Pages and Mr. Chimes in connection with Wines like that.

Wines acts outright intoxicated when you sing for him, oddly. And Mr. Iron never speaks.

woot! I am very happy. A storyline that I thought had been finished(but suspected wasn't) has in fact returned! Huzzah for the return of

THE EATER OF CHAINS! Just got and succeeded on the first challenge, which was to inspect the scar on my arm ^^ Lost 5 Honey but gained 7 appalling secrets, which is a 95 pence net-gain and I liked how it said the Eater of chains ran by so close the wind from it brushed my arm :)

^-That story goes up to 11 currently. The ending is quite satisfying in my opinion.

......and the next one that comes in here asking about going North. Well, let's just say I will put something in their tea, and it won't be sugar. The problem is that half of them will thank me. Terrible people.'

Tea?

About the Masters, has anyone ever seen two of them in the same place? I believe they are all one person thing and just act radically different to throw off suspicion. This post is completely unserious.

@ Euru, that reaction is why I chose that word. I wonder if we will ever be able to become Special Constables.

Also, has anyone seen the Escapist article about the new pets? Apparently the hound is hungover and the mole is subtle.

*weeps for the loss of his Maverick Bloodhound*

Though it did say there would be 12 pets so there is hope.

I'm officially hoping for a Maverick Tortoise.

A loose cannon Turtle who plays by his own rules.

You can't hide, but you can definitely run.

Uhh, I'm not sure why you would take the word of the Escapist article over that of our resident Echo Bazaar Developer, Chris Gardiner, who just on the last page of this thread told us a bit about the dog and specifically called it the Maverick Bloodhound. ^^

I have seen that one thrown about seriously, but I think it's pretty much debunked by the Masters conversing on Twitter.

You can join the Bicycle Squad at a high enough Dangerous.

I know the topic you're linking(though I can't get it to load right now). Question is, is that topic NEWER then what Chris posted on here, which was literally just yesterday at 5 in the morning? Since the last time I was on the Failbetter forums was 2 days ago, and that topic was already there, I'm willing to bet that things have(apparently) changed ^^

To be more specific here is the exact quote from Chris yesterday at 5:08 in the morning:

One of us regulars here on GITP Mentioning it:

On other news, what does everyone think of the creatures teased at the Echo Bazaar twitter feed? Devious Moles, Haunted Bloodhounds, Magnificent Turtles (sadly real names have not been released yet).

Chris Replying to it

A sneaky bit of inside info for you all: the bloodhound is a Maverick Bloodhound. He will do Whatever it Takes to Get the Job Done.

So, from what I can tell, it's gone from being the "haunted bloodhound" which would imply it being drunken and what not, to "Maverick Bloodhound".

[Saint Nil]

Unfortunately I've been kicked off the squad.

I've also made a fool of myself by failing to realize that the dog in the pictures is not a terrier. It is a Bloodhound. God willing a Maverick Bloodhound.

I'm just going to go over here and try to *puts on sunglasses* fail better.

EDIT-The link is for an article written posted February 1st (yesterday) at 3:15 PM. Just this post's point still stands that I'm a fool and Bloodhounds are not Terriers.

Extra update from Echo Bazaar Facebook

Fallen London is about to have some charming new faces. A grubby kitten. A Maverick Bloodhound. A Subtle Mole. A Bandaged Raven. A Partisan Messenger Tortoise.

Which of them will you take under your wing, dearest friends, and what will you name the little darling?

Many humble apologies for my misunderstanding.

Extra update from Echo Bazaar Facebook



Many humble apologies for my misunderstanding.

:) np, mistakes happen, and considering the time stamp on the post linking to the escapist article and Chris post yesterday morning, I can see where confusion could easily happen ^^

[Aidan305]

Hmm, I can't decide, Maverick Bloodhound or Grubby Kitten?

Or do I simply continue with what I have.

I have a Tiger. Do you have a Tiger?

[Saint Nil]

No, I have an owl. Is your tiger bifucated?

As for the pets, I want them all. Someone on the Echo Bazaar forum suggested they might be Connected related.

Grubby Kitten-> Urchins
Maverick Bloodhound-> Constables
Subtle Mole-> Criminals
Partial Messenger Turtle-> Revolutionaries
Bandaged raven-> Tomb Colonies
Hungover Terrier-> The Docks

I can see how they came up with that theory. Even if these new companions aren't faction related I'm really excited about them.

[Aidan305]

Thankfully not. That owl is probably the most disturbing thing I've encountered in Fallen London, and I've met two Spider Councils.

Mr. Gardiner, do you know if there's a way to unlink my Facebook account from my Echo Bazaar account? I have both FB and Twitter but I'd rather go through my Twitter alone if possible. I started through my FB, so my real name shows up and I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with that. Also I imagine it's confusing for those who follow @FelicityChase and then can't find her in the list of friends. If not, that's fine, just wondering :)

[Chris Gardiner]

Mr. Gardiner, do you know if there's a way to unlink my Facebook account from my Echo Bazaar account?

sure - just email [email protected] with the request and include your character name. We'll sort it out for you.

And "Chris" is fine, by the way. :)

[Chris Gardiner]

Subtle Mole-> Criminals
Hungover Terrier-> The Docks

These two are wrong. ;)

[Starwulf]

These two are wrong. ;)

Hmm, I could see the Hungover Terrier as being associated with The Bohemians, and the Subtle Mole with The Orient(not sure why, just strikes me as a good fit).

[Saint Nil]

So they are based on connections. Clearly the Subtle Mole represents the Masters of the Bazaar. The Masters are Mole Men!! Its why they drag cities into the neath.

Kitten Urchins
Bloodhound Constables
Terrier
Raven Tomb Colonies
Mole
Turtle Revolutionaries

Excluding the Masters, Summerset, Benthic, the Duchess, Glass, and Shroud, that leaves

Bohemian, Docks, Orient, Rubbery, Hell, Society, Criminals, Church, The Great Game,

So of those 9 we have eight pets. The Duchess might be a connected group but I tried to exclude groups that have no connection based items. That left a large number of contacts so I removed those I could. With only so many new pets coming out I didn't think one for both of the University groups would be added.

Perhaps the Mole is a member of the Great Game.

Also Chris, could you please tell us how to get in contact with the Implacable Detective? And thanks for the heads up!

[Ceric]

sure - just email [email protected] with the request and include your character name. We'll sort it out for you.

Thank you! Sending an email shortly

Also, I got a coffee just now, so it hasn't stopped at least.

Sigh, must be nice :) Congrats though, I am glad to know they are still around :) I must just be on an incredibly bad run of luck regarding them right now.

Nicely done!

You can now get her business card through a couple of old opportunity cards where you meet her - the card is usable and opens the new investigation missions, I think.
