I actually see flecks of red these days when I see people in steampunk costumes.

Well, I'll just put this top hat over here, then...


:whistles:

You need to put gears on it.

and wear goggles!

[LMNO]

IF I WEAR IT WITH A RIPPED UP MISFITS SHIRT, THAT WOULD BE WIKKED STEAMPUNK!

Don't forget to tell anyone who asks (or even looks at you) that you're an air ship pirate captain.

There's nothing more steam punk than an air ship pirate captain.

Except for a lesbian air ship pirate captain.

i understand your confusion.

Steam Punk is many times confused with arousing.

While the two certainly walk the same path at many times (ie steam powered dildo machine) they are not exactly the same thing.

[Richter]

Richter's pre - coffee ideas on GOOD steampunk.

Originality:  Make up a backstory.  Now make it different than everyone else's.  Unique will be more fun than generic.  The Airship Pirate Sky Kraken Hunter's Guild will drink with you regarldess.  Oh yeah, don't barf this personal fanfic out at everyone who even MIGHT ask.  Likely, no one will care, it's just pre - aranged material for the occasional roleplay.  Ask General KALED about how he got his medals, for instance.

Craftiness / Industriousness:  You want to become god to steampunks?  Build your own anayltical engine based on Babbage, Pascal, or Turing's designs, or a period vibrator.

Complexity:  Go big or go home.  Add little bits, details, and highlights to everything.

Thrift: Salvation Army, GoodWill, Harbor Freight, closets, yard sales, army surplus, junk shops, etc., are your friends.  So are "Instructables" and "MAKE".  You can age mos things with "Rub 'n Buff", vinegar, or fire.

Edit: Fixed Gen. K's name per Suu's reminder.

[Suu]

General Kaled is a sick, twisted clockwork soldier who got medals for genocide, killing kids, and raping prostitutes.

Oh Richter, there's a band playing at the World's Fair called Emperor Norton's Standing Marching Band, we need to have them do a theme song for us. I think GS has already been in contact with them!

[Richter]

Verynice!  I still need to double check everything for that weekend.  I may be getting tapped for Schola.

General Kaled is a great fellow.  Impecably dressed, and pulls of fake military uniform without beign voer the top.  He's always in character, being an abrasive, arrogant asshole by nature.   Sometimes the best way to deal with his attitude is just to flip him off and resume life as if he was not there.  His own cohorts, Captain and Whisper, have endorsed and practiced this course of action themselves. 

[Suu]

Screw Schola, I was actually REALLY mad that they decided to do it in May 2 weeks after Investiture. I already told them I'm not going and I got tapped to do a class too. I'm also teaching at the World's Fair. Whisper has me down to do a presentation on the clothing trends of the Victorian to Edwardian time periods.

I have to admit, the proto-type steampunk bong I encountered @ a random PDXO party (used an aquarium pump, a large gallon wine bottle as the main chamber, a smaller bottle as the regulator, and lots and lots of surgical tubing. The final plans had a small candle drive steam engine pump instead of the electric one) was AWESOME. I also loved how I was the only one able to clear the main chamber because I've studied Pranayama/Breath-work (and scuba-diving as a kid doesn't hurt).
