#fallen london evolution

I debate swapping his destiny around basically every holiday, but for now at least Samuel's current destiny is The Chariot, the one where you make it to the Neon Future in order to prepare to go East -- for Sam, this has a heavy weight of melancholy to me; an ending where he's lived so long that he struggles to find a purpose he can stomach in a world that's increasingly tamed and charted, and finally sets his sights on the one remaining impossible place, the one he used to get those strange dreams about, back when the zee was still dangerous. It fits him, but in a tragic way? What Even Lies East feels so unsettlingly mysterious that it's hard to know what this means for him, but it sure comes across as a Final Voyage.

HOWEVER, there is one mention of racecars in one of the Neon Future cards so OBVIOUSLY I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THAT!!!! this man must be so adrenaline starved in Modern Society HES GOTTA BE DOING DEADLY RACECAR BULLSHIT RIGHT????? I had to doodle him as a racecar driver. its so wild that this is technically canon. Fallen London is an amazing game.

Now the river isn't so dark any more

because now we have this

this looks incredibly cute and he looks like he's experiencing pure autistic joy BUT

BUT

have a description of nihilego from wicke

"UB-01. Code name: "Symbiont." Properly known as Nihilego. There have been sightings reported of this beast in Alola's past. Its most distinctive feature is its parasitic capability. When Nihilego latches on to a host, it does not manipulate its actions directly. Rather it awakens the host's own capabilities and boosts them to an extreme extent in order to protect itself. It injects the host with a sort of neurotoxin to achieve this effect. This neurotoxin of Nihilego's is incredibly stimulating and inspires feelings of extreme excitement and a lack of inhibition in its host. In other words, anything or anyone that a Nihilego latches on to will have its native skills forcibly activated to their fullest extent and will then act as it naturally desires to."
