The Founder of the Steampunk Invasion

We were quite thrilled to meet Brian Chamberlain, the creator and founder of the Salem Steampunk Invasion.  This lovely gentleman did take the time to seek out the Guild and spend some quality time with us. We simply can't wait to visit his fair city again and enjoy his company.  Thank you Brian for your kindness and hospitality.

Perseus and Draco join the Guild

While enjoying all that Salem had to offer during the Steampunk invasion we met with our friends Draco and Perseus Lepage.  So nice to visit with these lovely gentlemen and of course the toidle.

The Guild Goes to Salem

Amelia, Felicity, Sybil and Madame Zelda take a spin around the olde Salem graveyard.  We enjoyed a day of frolic and friendship while visiting the witch city for the annual Salem Steampunk invasion.

Sybil Berclay Merchant visits

Miss Sybil came to call on Felicity recently.  She had just returned from acquiring some lovely new fabrics for her shop.  Very nice embroidered satins, raw silks and lovely silk velvets.  Of course the acquisitions were of the very best and were "found" just laying about.  She simply could not allow that to be.  So... Ladies of fine breading and impeccable taste will have to visit her shop to choose their favorites.

Madame Zelda P Featherton Visits

Madame Zelda popped into this timeline Saturday to visit with myself and Sybil Berclay Merchant.  As we all know madame Zelda is the purveyor of inconvenient truths.  She also trains komodo dragons and raises the finest of circus rabbits.  However after an unfortunate accident with escaped rabbits and the dragons, (Don't ask.  Just be assured that a new breed called drabbits now exists.) she felt in need of a little vacation.  We enjoyed a musical evening and the finest of libations.

Victoria "Captain Vic" Cogglesworth Bio

       Since I don't like my image being captured this is one of the few you may see of me.  It is never really good for someone of my standing to be caught in any form as it creates the lack of surprise when you meet me in person.  That is pressuming you would ever actually meet me or know that you had at the time.  Victoria Cogglesworth is a bit of a cameleon. 
      I grew up in a posh home with just about every knick knack, bauble, trinket, pleasantry, and the like one could possibly ever want.  My father being a diplomat and my mother a member of the royal family.....so she likes to brag about anyway.  Please don't misunderstand, I greatly loved my youth and still enjoy the favors my own place in society grants me.  But my life is anything but cotillians and high teas.....
      The greatest gift my doating father ever gave me was his love for adventure.  Oh and a knack for meeting the right people at the right time.  Had I never met Felicity then my foray into the time traveling/item collecting business would never have come about.  She introduced me to Amelia who assisted me in a minor problem by the name of Lord.....let me just say the scoundrel (may he rest in pieces) is currently enjoying his time on the sea floor.  Which lead to undeniably one of my dearest friendships with Henrietta.  If it weren't for her talents many of mine would be lost for she keeps my airship the Luscious Bounty stocked with the prime specimens needed to keep me happy on my many adventures.  
         Yes I did say MY airship....as Captain Vic I am entitled that much and demand it.  However I keep special and private quarters for honored guests.  The Luscious Bounty can be seen in many worlds at many occasions....especailly when I may be able to come away with a new bauble, trinket, or other suitable, desired, or just plain vengfully wanted item.   I offer escort and sanctuary to those I or my nearest and dearest deem worthy, however cross me or mine and hellfire and brimstone will be the least of your worries.
        So as you have read I am a woman of high moral, financial, and any other kind of high breeding......with standards demanded of such and talents worthy of any airship captain around.  As many have learned I take what I want and never look back.
         If you have read this much of my bio I congratulate you on your keen sense of smarts.  I like it when people pay attention, even if that means they are affraid.

Amelia, the scandalous flirt!

Amelia is being a scandalous flirt!  Henrietta has told her that if she didn't know her so very well she would have offered her a position.  That would of course, be a disaster.  Henrietta does prefer her Gentlemen to leave in an upright position.  Amelia would most likely send any gentleman who propositioned her, out the door feet first and permanently motionless.
Oddly enough however, in this time period, it is not unusual for people to wear their under garments in public.  No one seems to take notice.  Of course some of their outer garments are even more revealing. 

Henrietta interviews Absinthe

Henrietta took advantage of the absinthe tasting to interview potential new candidates for her "special" rooms.  Poor Licorice Whip is becoming exhausted through the demands on her time.  Henrietta knows that the Gentlemen love absinthe.  This seems to be the ideal answer if only she can find just the right fairy.

Captain Vic

Captain Vic maintains a vigilant contact with the Luscious Bounty.  She knows all to well how easily another captain can swoop in and steal a ship out from under the crew.  After all she has done it herself.

Felicity in the future

The crew of the Luscious Bounty

Hello everyone!  I am in touch with the other crew members of the Luscious Bounty and will be getting them on line here as soon as they return from their latest adventure.  We want you to get to know us, for your own safety of course.  We are rather interesting scoundrels.
Our captain is the lovely and daring Victoria "Vic" Cogglesworth. Beware if you are a male pirate captain.  She will steal your heart and your ship and never look back.
Our medical officer is none other than Amelia Murchinson, an herbalist of the first order. She is very, very good at both healing and "removing", if you know what I mean.  Lady Paige is our official pictorialist and libation specialist.  She keeps the libation library fully stocked and ready for use at a moments notice.  Then we have Madame Zelda P. Featherton.  She is the purveyor of inconvenient truths.  She also trains komodo dragons and breeds rare circus rabbits.  Both talents help to keep the crew afloat during lean times.  There is also Sybil Berclay Merchant.  She keeps a shop of rare and unusual merchandise and rare fabrics when not traveling to find them.  Our home base is run extremely well by Henrietta Poursworth.  It's located at her lovely tea shoppe for discerning ladies of good standing.  Of course she keeps special rooms in the back for those husbands who are looking for their own, shall we say "entertainment".  I understand that Licorice Whip is one of the favorites on that menu.  And me, well I'm Felicity Cogsworth.  I am a procurer of rare merchandise and ladies private detective, i.e. thief of the first class.  Honestly the detective work is frequently extremely easy as I simply have to visit Henrietta.
Interested in our adventures?  Come join us.  You never know where or when we'll be.
