Fluttern Castle, residential seat of the Von Schmetterling family. One case where appearances are emphatically not deceptive. On the outside, it appears to be a dark, miserable edifice, fit only for the lair of thieves and brigands. On the inside, one quickly finds that it is, indeed, a dark, miserable place, and a lair filled with thieves and brigands.  Our story takes place on a cold No

Scion Character“Scion” Character: Benjamin Noble.   
Quote: "Like a bolt from the blue, baby!"

He trusts no other person in the world, for the sole reason that if they even trued to do what he does, then they would mess it up beyond bel Scion Character

My Crew

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 15, 2008, 7:35 AM

Firstly, I managed to get over that Orange Box scandal. Now, I have other things on my mind. My Crew.

Yes...I and a few like-minded loonies from UCD have started a Steampunk airship crew. Our aim: wealth, our methods: heavy-handed, our ship: the recently-liberated "Reckless Abandon".

Speaking as a man who doesn't get to this sort of thing often...this is going to be a shedload of fun.....

Curator? Wonderful; sounds to me like an interesting job. And of course my desire to see Baker Street grows the more I learn about it. And there is so much to learn about everything.
