What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
Always into steampunk , plus, one of the first sims I tp'd into i was faced with a tentacled monster preforming anatomically impossible acts to a female doberman woman, I fled to new babbage after bleaching my brain and stayed here ever since. Unless I'm in CBT (Classic battleTech))
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
Professor Grendel M. Footman, inventor, adventurer, surgeon, and occultist.
born to parents...I'm assuming, that part is foggy, I learned to be a surgeon at a young age, then got promptly bored and was eventually drummed out of medical school for my more original ideas, since then I have studied engineering, then was kicked out after the engine i built destroyed the engineering college, so I finally turned my attentions to the occult and supernatural studies, where i discovered a serum based on alchemical texts,and combined with modern chemical knowledge. . the Immortalis Serum, together with some electrical stimulation, can help prevent death, with the minor side effect that you will need regular injections to stay alive.
After years of testing on animals and corpses, I had to use it on myself when fatally wounded by a yeti in the Himilaya's while searching for Shangri-La. I had to give myself my first treatment, just to stay alive long enouhg to stitch myself back together and give myself the full treatment. After that I left the family estate in Antartica, gave the servant's what would have been thier final year's pay, left automotons to upkeep the colony, loaded airship, and left for other areas.

A full time weapon's developer and part time occult investigator and monster hunter.I since have had to use my surgical knowledge on myself many other ties, even replacing some organs, and improving some others.
probing the secrets of science and the unknown, and occasionally blowing something up, or releasing a demon in the process
Do you have a website?

(OOC) might not be on as often for awhile

my RL job at the coffeeshop's ended, as new owners bought the place and fired almost everyone so they can hire new people and pay them less (they seriously expect managers to be happy with minimum wage)
I'm possibly going to be working at a local organization that helps habilitate the mentally disabled, it possibly will be a night time shift however, wich is when I usually am online.
so if you don't see me as often, that's why, I'm not leaving or anything, just most likely at work, or sleeping (… Continue

Footman's Log Nov. 15th

After 'visiting' Underby, I'm still not entirely convinced he doesn't have some sort of sinister plot going on, even though the militia see's hom as some paragon of virtue for 'caring for' the sickly clockwinder.
Right now though there isn't too much to be done about it, aside from watching him, wich despite what I had suggested, Miss Macbain still plans n doing, at least I talked her into being an outside cat when she does. I've also been working on a device to watch over parts of the city, inc… Continue

Footman's Log, Nov. 13th 18XX

I've returned to Underby's, after Miss Macbain had mentioned he had acted oddly around her (as his cat, Sekhmet) and had taken a sample of fur. In my experience, there's some things that can be done with a person's hair, curses, could be a compnent needed in some ritual to bring Nyarlithotep into Babbage, etc, I'm not sure if it applies to cats, or shapeshifters, however, but I always beleive in take no chances.

I had met Miss Macbain at the Red Cave in Clockhaven, were we discussed it, She tri… Continue

Footman's log, Nov 12th 18XX

After field tests of the mark II Pengi deployment device, I took a walk through the city, eventually found myself in Clockhaven. I was bored and so decided to look for Underby's shop. I personally had never met the man, really only ever interacting with his lackey, Pip, but had heard a bit about him between his fued with Sixpence, his apparant death, the seance, is ressurection, Miss Macbain's reports, and rumors of the clockwinder's odd behavior lately, plus the fact he was apparantly flirting… Continue

Footman's Log Nov. 11th 18XX

The pengi as usual, have found their own way of doing things, rather than incinerating the leftover corpses like I asked, they loaded them into the cannon Miss Aya had built before leaving my employ.
the one intended to reach the moon. and then they launched the corpses, from the cannon, I'm assuming towards the moon....or maybe Mars...I'm not quite sure what trajectory it had last been left at.
Of course, it's alway's failed tests in the past, often getting rider's lost somewhere's in the void… Continue

Welcome, sir. I admit to being rather intrigued both by the contradiction implied in your name and by your mysterious appearance. I imagine you have many tales to tell, some of which might be true.

I shall most-definitely seek out this Devil's-Labyrinth!

Any and all information will be of use to our mission.

((Hey Grendel - expedition sounds interestng (except ... Harpoon guns, huh?)! You may wish to tap Mr. Benoir to see if he would like to join in. Also talk to beq, who is recovering from a stay in the deep. And perhaps, if you like, let Ianthe, Elleon, or me know when you were thinking of expeditionating. ))
