reviving this blog after a long hibernation. why? spite. but before i get to that, here are some updates about by FL character:
-finished the railroad, fully developed the hinterland city.
-is now a paramount presence, and has unlocked all highway stat cap-increases
-has unlocked agents, then more agents, and then a few more just for good measure
-now as the nickname of "The Artistic Silverer
anyway, i would like to announce my new OC, forcefully adopted from @city-in-the-high-pines: the Horned Heiress! do not try to stop me, wood. i will print your pathetic vineboy's secrets in the parabolan post and then send the Clay Breaker 'round with a tank of red-science weedkiller.
now, you may be asking, who is the Horned Heiress? well, i'm glad you asked. The Artistic Silverer found her wandering the streets, poor thing, with nothing but the clothes on her back and a concerning abundance of traits many would consider to be monstrous. being closest to the urchins, of course, The Artistic Silverer immediately set her up in her orphanage- and then set her up in a separate, private townhouse after she ended up wrestling the coalman.
The Artistic Silverer now acts as patron and (slightly unwilling) parental figure of the Horned Heiress as she searches for her origins, as well as helping her dodge the angry overtures of a mysterious, floral benefactor that seems hell-bend on destroying her new home.
a lesser londerer would have folded in the face of such a complex and often violent situation- but The Artistic Silverer does just love a challenge.
some stuff about the Horned Heiress that i am, as their new owner, deciding is canon:
-she loves Parabolan orange-apples- and is the only one who can eat more than like 10% of one. is learning culinary skills specifically so she can make her own recipes with it, since no one else has bothered (because, you know, it's a mostly poisonous fruit only found in parabola)
-has Gills/whatever it is you need to breath underwater in the zee. the Perforated Diver enjoys having her around, since she can pretty reliably protect against some of the lesser zee beasts
-is steadily learning the rules for the Bethic kriegsspiel, 3rd edition; really very passionate about board games in general.
-fascinated by the red science. partially because its likely now she was made, and partially because the tools that it allows to exist are so fantastic and strange; The Artistic Silverer has had to prevent her from crawling into their Devilish Holdeverything twice now, because she just so damn curious as to whats inside.
-any details about the Horned Heiress given by @city-in-the-high-pines are apocryphal.
