"I'm now terrified of that story line."

This is the appropriate response. :)

If you ever start the Seeking story (accidentally or otherwise), there will be multiple chances to rid yourself of the story during the first stage and a few other chances during later stages. There will also be various warnings from the game like [For the love of all that's good and holy, please stop. Don't do this to yourself.], so you'll have a very good idea of what you're falling into...if you allow it.

I read your blog post. I see what you mean. It seems possible that Lilac is partially based off the "Night Watch" character, though I believe her state of dress and name are largely based off the meaning of the purple lilac in the language of flowers: the first emotions of love. "Night Watch" specifically talks about purple lilacs, but I think of the white ones for the novel (white lilacs usually mean "youthful innocence" and sometimes "memories"). The Lilac card was something made for this year's Feast of the Exceptional Rose, the FL equivalent of Valentine's Day. The card will probably disappear soon, but I'm sure the character will return. Once you've uncovered more of FL's lore and raised attributes to 70-90's, I highly recommend you read http://fallenlondon.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Events, an archive of timed events. You could do it now, but you won't get most of the "AH-HA!" moments till you've learned more of FL's secrets and puzzle pieces. You might confirm or change your opinion on Lilac and many other characters.
