Clarabella Lucy Corryong Clara's Personal Diary: I am a murderer!

I don't know what to say but. I know now what I am and this is not fun any more. When the Baron first told me I was a spark and gave me the hetrodyne adventures to read I thought it was the most exciting thing ever to happen to me. Here was a penny dreadful that I could be in! Of course I idolised Agatha Hetrodyne and her adventures the most and aspired to be just like her, even making my own tiny clockwork clanks like her dingbots and building my own hyper death ray (although they made me disma… Continue

Starchaser Snowpaw Journal Entry, Nov. 19th (What about the urchins?)

As I sit here on a mooring and look out over the gentle waves of the sea, I am left to wonder about this town's recent events. The school blowing up and the teacher's demise, the clockwinder's recent return to the public eye and the local soup kitchen for urchins closing down. My mind is a flurry of thoughts, most of them centered around where the little scamps will stay and get food. Reason tells me that people will step up to give the urchins a willing handout, but still I can't help but see c… Continue

Elilka Sieyes Oh bother, there goes another brain spring...

Things have been a bit heavy for me lately, with the addition of course stuff to deal with and about three projects on the side. A few days ago, a spring finally poinged loose and the predictable gloomy reaction landed. As a result, I'm taking a little break from social and RP-ish stuff in SL (what do you mean 'just like normal, then'??) at least until my other deadlines have gone away, and my brain stops demanding ridiculous amounts of sleep. Fixing sleep means no caffeine-fuelled late nights,… Continue

Ashiko Kuroe Scoundrels, Sailors, Jokers, but no Jailors.

November the [The date beyond this point has been stained by various liquids, with a burn from a cigarette over the year.] I have returned to Babbage with as much pomp and frill as one in my position can hope for... And while my post on behalf of Armada is obscure, it makes it enough of a hassle for the militia or Tenk to touch me, and as such I can walk about free. I couldn't help but grin as Tenk eyed my leg with want. But my time here is short and my work is tedious. I have dropped off som… Continue

One Rhiadra I'll be home for Christmas/Quanza/Winter Solstice/Chanukah/Divali

My Dearest Diary: I have great appreciation for builders & more for those who do it as a business. It is very rewarding when someone likes your work. I have had the good fortune to experience that this week. :-) So I will keep building for the time being--I still have the Iron Bay property to do that in. But I have settled in me old nesting grounds for the winter. What good fortune! My favorite spot was free for me to rent :-) And it is good to be home for the holidays. It is quiet lookin' a… Continue

Mr. Tenk Hunger 2

Tenk waited until he heard Underby's breathing settle into a deep meditative state. He stole downstairs to where Skute, the mouse boy, was laid up by the fire with a broken leg. "Skute! Wake up! You gotta eat this for me!" "Wha? It not poison or nothin?" Skute did not need much persuassion. He quickly picked up the spoon and began shoveling it into his mouth. "Hurry boy. Eat it all." Tenk watched the boy eat, eyes following the spoon longingly. "Lick the bowl clean. Don't leave anything! An… Continue

Rational Clarity Remodel...Cat & Kind

I recently remodeled the upstairs of my shop (Clarity Creations) to make a place for my fine furry (and not-so-furry) friends to gather. It's a nice place to talk, drink, listen to music and people watch or just plot world domination. Drinks of all sorts are served (including milk) and there is even a… Continue

Ceejay Writer Just a Simple Evening of Drinks at Loki's... Goes Awry

[Continued from Tinus Koskinen's Barred by Some Otherworldly Force] Ceejay has far too much to write about, her head is near bursting with information, and though she cannot write it herself with her broken arm, she decides to dictate the events of last night in order to preserve them once her memory starts to fade. Due to the nature of these events and not wishing to cause alarm or draw ridicule from… Continue

Mr Underby Underby Private Work Journal, 18 November

I did not expect it to take as long as this. Pip did not. The entire operation should have been swift and simple, these types of creatures are made of more base material than man, and have simple rules. Clearly, some drastic error has been made. When we discovered the clockwinder in the rain I took it to be an omen that my work was free from interference, and that I had been wrong that someone else had already bound the little fellow, but all my words and incantations have not only not been eff… Continue

Professor Parx Private Journal entry November 19th

Transcription of the Dim Loch journal continues apace. The hand writing is rather cramped making legible transcription a slow process. The details for the Cavorite gas extraction appear to be detailed but feasible given the right equipment. I was amused to read the various Babbage papers claiming I had killed Mactavish. It would take far more than electricity to bring down her on a permanent basis. If I could find a way of making a permanent end to her I would but this ghoul has managed to surv… Continue

Tinus Koskinen Barred by Some Otherworldly Force

Clockhaven was quiet while I strolled down the pathway. A small cat awaited me at the end of the alley, wrapped in a red scarf. It purred at me as I passed, and came right up to me when I put out my hand. The cat was scratching at the scarf furiously, clearly an uncomfortable addition to its attire and reeking of rotten milk and sweat. Then it struck me, the scarf was Clockwinder's. The cat purred in relief as I withdrew the familiar item converted into a little backpack on the cat. Star, I thi… Continue

Odnar Halberstadt No word from Tenk

November 3 “Don’t tell me not ta worry! Tenk does not give his word lightly. He said he was coming for our Day of the Dead Feast. He mentioned something was not right. The train derails and not a word from New Babbage.” “Look Odnar we know he was never on the train. We had the passenger list checked.”

Stargirl Macbain Preparations & Doubts(Journal November 16)

Journal, I have done the best I can to prepare for trouble. It has been hinted at that Underby might have the militia in his pocket, so I have packed a bag and hidden it. I am ready to take to the underground at a moment's notice. Let's hope it doesn't come to that. I saw Tenk yesterday. What is it about him? He reminds me of someone...I cannot remember who. I must go, I have business to attend to. ~S.McB. ((an entry later in the same day)) Journal, Completed a mission for the Clockwind… Continue

Ceejay Writer How Stuff Escalates - New Babbage Style

In which the illness of Ceejay's typist today somehow results in Ceejay facing down her most current greatest fear. To see how this goes down, be on the sidewalk outside the CocoaJava Cafe today at 4:30pm slt. Those faint of heart may wish to remain at home. The following transcript is culled from Steampunks chat earlier today. Caesar Osterham: I shall sacrifice a trolley to your typist's speedy recovery Ceejay Writer: Thank you Caesar!

Mr. Tenk Hunger

"Out of your box, I see," observed Underby smoothly, upon seeing the clockwinder standing in his attic. Tenk's fever had broken and he had finally raised himself from the makeshift bed Underby had made out of his linen chest. "You must be hungry." Tenk nodded weakly and followed the skeletal man down the stairs to his table. He started unknotting his scarf as he went. " I will give you my scarf," said Tenk. The man sneered disdainfully and took a bowl down from the cupboard and turned to the p… Continue

Grendel Footman (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
