Excerpt from a police report:
...the rather haunted-looking devil waved his hands frantically as he was met with scepticism. "I know what I saw", he said "I was out for a smoking break (he left it unclear if he was reffering to pipe smoking or if hej sut went out to spontaneously emit smoke --secretary's note) and I saw a five-feet tall owl with waxed moustace,chestnut hair and a rather tasteful black dress, he was scaling down the side of the wall, and when I went to alert the guards, he was all gone!"
"This owl", I asked him politely "didn't happen to be of the bifurcated variety, wouldn't he?", there was a snort form the devil.
"I doubt he would ever be seen wearing womens clothes", he said "at least not in public".
I shrugged, the strange thing was not the report itself, odder things have happened and happens every day in Fallen London, but rather that reports of the exact same thing, with minor variation, had been filed no less than 30 times the last month. Taken into account that these are just the cases reported, which may just be a thiny fraction of all the cases, it'd mean that someone, presumably a chestnut-haired owl, have repeatedly robbed from the Brass Embassy, a place that is generally considered impossible to rob, while wearing a sober womens dress, the question of "why?" is anybodys guess.
"Only two months left until retirement", I thought to myself as I ordered my files.
From the diary of Jack Owlfisher:
Tonights "rendez vous" went well, my cunning plan worked perfectly. However, I am afraid that I was spotted by a devil. Fortunently he was too busy questioning his sanity and I had ample time to get away. The dress was a stroke of genius on my part, even if I get spotted, noone will connect the break-in to that noted gentleman detective, Jack Owlfisher. They shouldn't worry, though, they will get their souls back in time. Only 13 456 souls left until I can get acess to a room at the Brass Embassy, I can already taste the mulled breakfast brandy and the infernal cigars. Oh the things a gentleman have to go trough to get decent lodgings around here....

This is a drawing based on Echo Bazaar, a social roleplaying game in a dark gaslight fantasy world, they recently opened up their fan forum, http://community.failbettergames.com/ and in order to encourage fanart, I've launched a fanart contest with the theme "the citizens of Fallen London". Anyone who's interested is welcome to join.
