About Me

Hiya! Whisper Merlot here: mechanic, brother's keeper, first mate, and the occasional performer of aviatorical miracles.

These days, I'm following the family tradition of reaching for the sky. I keep the airship I call home, the Icarus, flying high like and not taking after her unfortunate namesake. I'm one of Captain Jeramiah Homer-Winslow's crew, the Penny Dreadfuls, and it's a good thing too. Without my accidental ship-napping, I'm not sure Mister J. or Dr. Rapture- the resident, erm, genius of ill designs- would have gotten Icarus in the clouds in the first place.

Somehow all that ship-napping earned me the right to be First Mate. Must be so I don't trying hijacking her again any time soon.

(Okay, really, I live on the road in "The Icarus", bringing steampunk around New England to conventions, faires, and ...well, living rooms if you'll have me!) That's about all there is to me, I suppose.
