*starts mixing up some chocolate chip cookie bars (AKA congo bars) just to reward Clara* I may not know her first hand, but she is still a scamp, and any scamp is my scamp.

Dear Katherine, I am in receipt of your letter. Stargirl Macbain and some others from Babbage will be catching an airship over to visit us for the American holiday of Thanksgiving. Perhaps you could catch a ride with them? ((We'll be having dinne...

What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
I returned to Babbage after the destruction of the city where I had been living. I previously travelled in Babbage, and remembered it as an inviting place.
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
Mara is an unusually tall woman (imagine a 6'5" female in the RL, that's Mara). She runs a soup kitchen/hostel for the urchins of Babbage. She also teaches the children how to grow things in flower pots and take care of living things. She grows herbs and vegetables in flower pots around her property and has a rabbit hutch in the back yard. Periodically, one of the rabbits runs away, and then they have "chicken" stew for supper in the soup kitchen.

Mara says she is from a place called Faery - which she claims is a very small village near Kilkenny in Ireland. She is a firm believer that what she calls the old ways and the new technologies can exist together. She also sometimes speaks of long ago events as if she remembers them.
Do you have a website?

Letter To Stargirl

Dear Star,

It was so good to hear from you! In response to your question, we are all settling in nicely. At first, the scamps were very put out that they are not even allowed into the local saloons. Americans really are so picky about that sort of thing. But, they've set up a still in our basement. They're quite pleased with themselves, and they're even talking of exporting their special brew to Armada and Babbage. Somehow I'm not supposed to know that there is a still in my basement. *rolls ey… Continue

Once Upon A Time

A little over a year ago, a perfectly ordinary (but unusually tall) human was diagnosed with breast cancer. But, a few weeks before that, she had to undergo a surgical biopsy. Because the procedure was surgery and general anesthesia would be used, she needed someone to drive her to/from the hospital. She asked her long time boyfriend to drive her. The boyfriend lived about four hours away, but he said he would. The night before the surgery, the boyfriend didn't show up. The human called him and… Continue

All I have to say is

WHAT THE FUCK?!? Just when I was starting to cool down a little I read a blog post that says I was essentially thrown out of Babbage FOR BEING TOO NICE AND TOO WELCOMING! My typist worked in a maximum security prison for ten years. Believe me, I know how to be a raging bitch when I feel like it, and right now I feel like it. ALL Tenk had to fucking say was that he didn't like the idea of PIPER and I would have withdrawn the offer of my basement. But, nooooo.... Seriously, WHAT THE… Continue

Wanted: Really BIG Dog

Mara had been warned that magic isn't as strong in Clockhaven as it was in Wheatstone. But, she needed more room for the soup kitchen. So, she moved anyway. The very day that they moved in, Creeky Gloom walked right in and made off with Gil. A man with guns also walked right in. Malcolm tried to set wards to protect the building, but Underby got in anyway and upset Tenk and Lo. It is becoming clear that wards wouldn't be enough to protect her home and the ones she loves.

Mara and Malcolm were a… Continue

On The Roof At Mara's Place

The young Sidhe laddled up some lamb stew, added a hot roll with lots of butter, and carefully carried it up three flights of stairs to her roof. On the roof grew her herbal gardens. A couple of bunny rabbits hopped around completely oblivious to the fact that one day they would be served up in her stew. On the far corner of the roof stood a tent and a campfire. The sidhe's marriage contract stated that she only had to "share a roof" with her husband during Beltane and Samhain. Mara hadn'… Continue

Ms Razor, I understand that you witnessed my twin brother's recent appearance in the Palisade area and exercised a level of patience and caution that doubtless calmed his fevered mind (as well as perhaps saving your life) and for that I will forever be in your debt (bows)

It's a pleasure to have met you Miss Razor. Thank goodness someone showed some sense over the issue of that confounded hand. I do believe those urchins would have eaten or sold to be eaten the entire thing if it were not for your prudent intervention.

Yes my brother was indeed the troubled figure you witnessed who seemed to be attempting to make his way back to the ocean. Again I thank you for your composure and patience with the situation and hope that he is met with such a response should he encounter any of the other citizens of New Babbage. I have given fair warning in the main forum but regrettably there appears to be no concern among the locals and I fear they will only be jogged into action when Indigo, who is clearly not of his right mind, attempts something violent or even murderous.

Yeah! It's a work in progress, so someday soon it may maybe perhaps not be so completely terrible. But, I'm not holding out much hope.
