Ask what more Miss Peppercorn needs The Navigator looks decidedly crestfallen. Even the jovial piping of the circus calliope cannot cheer him.	The Navigator's Promise = 1000 [The travelling magician will meet you back at Polmear and Plenty's Inconceivable Circus. She will charge 200 Sovereigns]	Not a feline fan "I need a cat. I will not catch one for you." She scowls. "And once you have one, you better keep an eye on it. I don't like the gossiping little things – they are too fond of scandal to be trustworthy." The Navigator's Promise = 1100 [The travelling magician requires a cat]
Offer the magician the Useless Cat At last! A use!	The Navigator's Promise = 1100 [The travelling magician requires a cat] Useless Cat ≥ 1	Immensely self-satisfied Miss Peppercorn places a plush, red, velvet cushion before the full length mirror. She addresses the cat in your arms. "I forbid you from sitting on that cushion. It is my favourite. You will only ruin it." The cat squirms free. It leaps straight to its inevitable destination – the cushion. There it freezes, mesmerised by its own reflection. The mirror reflects a steaming jungle of thick ferns and amber light. Dappled light pours down on the Useless Cat's reflection – it is a tiger, vast and strong. The cat— The tiger yawns slowly, admiring its fangs. The Useless Cat and its reflection begin kneading – the tiger's thick claws flexing, the Cat's thin claws shredding the cushion. The Fortunate Navigator gasps; the Useless Cat blinks smugly. The Cat hasn't seen anything it didn't already suspect. The Navigator's Promise = 1200 [You glimpsed a moment in Parabola, where every cat is a Big Cat]	Game note: You will not lose the Useless Cat. However much you might wish to.
Offer the magician Monsieur Francois The Magician at Polmear and Plenty's is not expecting this cat. So this almost certainly won't cause any problems.	The Navigator's Promise = 1100 [The travelling magician requires a cat] Monsieur Francois ≥ 1 [You are delivering Monsieur Francois to the Humiliated Magician at Polmear & Plenty's]	Proud Miss Peppercorn places a plush, red, velvet cushion before the full length mirror. She addresses Monsieur Francois. "I forbid you from sitting on that cushion. It is my favourite. You will only ruin it." Monsieur Francois strolls straight to its inevitable destination. There it freezes, mesmerised by its own reflection. The mirror reflects a steaming jungle of thick ferns and amber light. Dappled light pours down on Monsieur Francois' reflection – it is a tiger, vast and strong. The cat— The tiger yawns slowly, admiring its fangs. Monsieur Francois and its reflection begin kneading – the tiger's thick claws flexing, Monsieur Francois' thin claws shredding the cushion. The Fortunate Navigator gasps; Monsieur Francois blinks smugly. The cat hasn't seen anything it didn't already suspect. The Navigator's Promise = 1200 [You glimpsed a moment in Parabola, where every cat is a Big Cat]	Game note: You will not lose Monsieur Francois.
Catch a dock cat and bring it to Miss Peppercorn How hard can it be?	The Navigator's Promise = 1100 [The travelling magician requires a cat] Hearts challenge (117 for 100%) Salon-Stewed Gossip ≥ 3	Failed event	Game note: You'll need fresh gossip as bait.
		At a cost You order your crew to scour the docks with a fishing net and that rumour about the state of the Captivating Princess's latest admirer. It is not long before the indignant sound of hissing announces their partial success. They have a cat, but a thoroughly clawed stoker has resigned on the spot. Miss Peppercorn directs a crewmember to deposit the thrashing bundle before the mirror. The caught cat only stills when it catches sight of its own reflection. The reflection shows a tiger, sitting among the tatters of a flimsy fishing net. Behind it is a steaming, amber-lit jungle. The tiger claws its way free of the final strands, steps closer— With a scornful yowl, the cat steps into the mirror. The Fortunate Navigator gasps. Miss Peppercorn beams. The Navigator's Promise = 1200 [You glimpsed a moment in Parabola, where every cat is a Big Cat] -1 x Crew -3 x Salon-Stewed Gossip
