What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
New Babbage, to me, is an interesting place for an Urchin. Most of the people here seem to not mind an Urchin being near them, even going as far as talking to me and offering me food and Rum, or Gin, or whatever liquor they seem to have. There's so many places for me to lay & sleep at night without fear of getting caught and forced to leave. Boy this is a brilliant town indeed.

I do like how friendly to Urchins most people are around New Babbage, the Rum and liqour most people give me are very delicious, I do enjoy a good drink when I can get one. New Babbage does have tons of places for a boy like me to sleep or rest if I get tired, most of my favourites seem to be close to the Rail Road, not on the tracks, of course... that wouldn't be to smart for me to do, sleeping on the tracks. A boy could get killed doing that.
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
Skyler Gant never knew what it was like to have a Mother or Father, having spent half his life in a cruel Orphanage and until two years ago, in a Workhouse. Upon escaping Skyler made his way to New Babbage and instantly fell for the town, finding great places to sleep, many nice people offering him food and liquor in most cases, and on the rare occasion a place for him to sleep for the night. Skyler, at nine years of age, has seen countless things no child his age should ever see, yet he swears none of what he saw has affected him in any way.

The Mysterious Urchin and the Note part 2

The cold Babbage air seemed like a cruel welcome to the mysterious long, blonde haired, Crispin as he once more ventured into the streets of New Babbage, his long hair tied into a pony tail with the black, filthy, ribbon. He sighed, his breath clearly visible, as he made his way back to the place Gil was staying at, another note clutched in his left hand, his eyes focused on the clock above city hall, his eyes aglow with awe, with interest, with admiration. He longed to meet the man he now knew… Continue

The Mysterious Urchin with the Note ((Re-Post))

((I'm bored, so I decided to tell a story from the eyes of the Urchin that delivered the note of Skyler's to Gil...enjoy.))

A mysterious child appears in New Babbage, one who has long, flowing, blonde hair tied into a pony tail with a piece of black, filthy, ribbon. His clothes are tattered and it looks as if he’s been walking miles, a note clutched in his filthy left hand. His shoes are nothing more than pieces of material with holes in it and a rubber sole on the bottom. The child looks no ol… Continue

Taking a slight break. ((OOC))

I'm just going to take a break for awhile from SL. Seems things on SL are getting a bit stressful and... frankly... I've got enough of that in RL. Don't get me wrong, I'm not leaving SL permanently, I will log in for a few minutes to chat with people, see how things are doing, but for now... I just honestly need to take a break for awhile. I don't take sides, to let people here know. Mara, Softpaw, and anyone else leaving will be surely missed by me *Of course I will visit Steelhead because, wel… Continue

Cor, well ain’t this wonderful? Like a poor man finding gold and blowing it all on booze, this is. I got kidnapped alongside Red, we’re idiots for thinking he was going to take us to Will and let us save him. That’s like saying “If you close your eyes and believe, your wishes will come true.” It doesn’t happen exactly how you want it, I reckon. He plopped us both in a

*skids to a halt in front of the new kid*

Oh. My. Gosh. It's a boy in Babbage, and he's not blond! *wide-eyed* It is possible! *grin*

Want some candy? *fishes in pocket and finds...no, not that piece of string...or that rubber ball...there it is!...hands new kid a Breezy Truffle from Miss Ceejay's cafe*

Babbage boys...lessee.... There's Skyler Pooley...he's bigger'n we are, so I'll call him Big Skyler. An' there's Jimmy Branagh, an' Ron Morigi, an' Max & L'il Maximus, an' Finley Twine...yep, all blonds, the lot of 'em! Kyle ain't blond, but I ain't seen him around lately, and I hear Loki ain't blond neither, but I ain't met him yet. So yeah, it's nice ta meet a Babbage boy ain't been cloned or sumpin'. *grin*

Hm. Rum or gin....Well, Cap'n Red's place's got rum, but I don' like it much. The rum, I mean; Cap'n Red's place's right purty, leastways the outside is. I ain't been inside yet. You can prob'ly get rum at the Gangplank as well. Ask Finley; I 'xpect he'd know. Fer choc'late and coffee, there's Miz Ceejay's place, the CocoaJava Cafe. It's got a few s'prises, so ye'll want to 'xplore it some. For more fillin' meals, there's Miss Mara's place in Wheatstone...she feeds kids fer free, and even has an upstairs room where we urchins can sleep. If ya go through her cabinets, there's free clothes and food fer the takin'. And there's a seekrit hangout just fer urchins ta know 'bout, but....*looks around*...I'll whisper it to ya!

Miss Mara is good people and has a special place for urchins. She will look after you and make sure you have enough food. I am glad you've met her.

I'm glad you got away safely, and hope you have fully recovered from your adventure last evening!

If you're ever wandering around the Aetherport Tower north of the Palisade, and happen to roam up to Deck Three, I have it on good authority that one of the airships docked there keeps a cookie jar on the top deck just in case urchins should happen by.... *smile*
