tolpen: A waist-up portrait of the Soft-Eyed Mycologist. He is a man with dark skin and long dark hair, wearing a cyan waistcoat a white shirt. He is lifting a red mask from his face. He is wearing large round golden pince-nez. (the soft-eyed mycologist)
Is the Mycologist comfortable taking lead in a dance he's known for, what twenty minutes? Not in the slightest. Is that going to stop him? The current hypothesis is that no.
In all truth, the most difficult task is to keep out of the way of everyone else.

Step, step, spin, step, switch (pause? Why does this dance come with pauses in it?), step. His steel-soled shoes do not make an outright racket on the parquet, but they certainly make up for what the drummer up on the podium is lacking.

A young pair, still figuring out the base steps, jumps to the corner when it notices the Professor and the Mycologist approaching. Surely the Mycologist hasn't led them across the entire dancefloor here on purpose. Just to do this?

You have reached Tolpen. Tolp is still figuring out Dreamwidth and is currently using it to role-play the Soft-Eyed Mycologist, a Fallen London character (see sticky entry). A larger crew might appear, eventually.
Tolpen uses ne/nem/neir neopronouns when feeling fancy, and he/she/they when not. Ne occasionally writes stuff on AO3 under the same name.
Among neir interests belong (in no particular order) necromancy, murder mysteries, TTRPGs, crocheting, toxicology, and pretending ne is a man with a mid-life crisis and a job of keeping the reality together online.
Oh, and ne is still a Homestuck fan in this time and age, gods help us all.
