Class warfare through magic makeup, June 13, 2022This is a Fallen London exceptional story, a chunk of additional story-focused content available to subscribers (or on its own, for a heftier sum).
This story focuses on a new brand of makeup being sold door-to-door in an MLM format, with people recruiting others and getting bonuses for it. The makeup is based on the Neathbow, colors in Fallen London that have magical effects (like forgetfulness, remembrance, dreams, emptiness, etc.).
The collective is trying to disrupt Victorian London society by giving greater power to the lower classes. The establishment is not happy about this.
You become one of the recruits, but you become embroiled in a dispute from the far past. Features cats, royalty, Egypt, a striking main NPC, and the other side of mirrors.
This is an excellent character piece, but that is its only distinguishing quality, unless you are especially interested in social reform.
