I am once again here to declare my love for the silly writing of Fallen London. And to express amusement that, apparently, multiple people have saved this specific entry into their journals in the game.

Exceptional Story for May: The Sunken River
The interior of the Questionable has a noisy, almost raucous atmosphere. It’s inevitable – in such tight confines, trapped in this metal coffin, sound cannot escape, and men make jokes to keep the fear at bay. But when the bell sounds and the officers gather in the bridge, a hush falls over the ship. Descent is, to the zubmariner, a sacrament.
The Unsanctioned Zubmariner has one last voyage to make – and, through the Admiralty’s machinations, you’ve just been promoted to First Officer. Embark on an ill-advised, officially unacknowledged expedition beneath the dark waves. Follow a trail of blood to the very heart of the Unterzee. Try not to crack under the pressure.
Writing: Bruno Dias
Editing: James Chew
QA: Luke van den Barselaar
Art: Erion Makuo

Started The Bloody Wallpaper, and the hook is really good. It’s also got a great variability to it; if you’re a lower level character, this is a nightmarish or promising opportunity. If you’re endgame and powerful, this is a complete and utter humiliation and someone needs to pay for it
Or maybe that’s just my character talking

Re: Red-and-Gold Gala
As someone who worked for a hotel and ended up on the 'you're such a good worker but we're understaffed can you please do this one little extra job for us' train for three fucking years? This Exceptional Story feels very familiar.
Well done @failbettergames for capturing the grind, the exhaustion, the horror, the occasional laugh, the demoralisation, the awful variety of co-workers, the odd familiar guest, and the Management's... (*gestures in futile 'I Need My Job But Holy Fuck I Hate It Here*) ... y'know, their whole deal. You really nailed the experience.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to lie down and wait for this headache to pass (and for my actions to refresh, so I can get back to my shift)

Throwback to the time my Zee Captain character had a very inexplicably intimate moment with Mr Veils.
Especially when coupled with the Bag a Legend ambition.

New exceptional story has just about everything I love: rubbery men, weird death shit, peak sensory experiences, and fucking over the cops.
