Activity Check In

[thetonmods]

Check In

This is the permanent AC/check-in page for the game.

Upon acceptance into the game you will need to leave a comment with your character's name and canon in the subject field.

AC for The Ton is a little different than what you might normally expect. While we want to make this game casual and not go all out with a full blown activity check, in order to keep things a little more engaged and fun, once a month characters must submit an in-character journal entry. There is no lower or upper limit as to the length of this journal entry, it simply needs to cover the character's thoughts and feelings about what has taken place for them over the course of the month. Feel free to make them as flavorful as you'd like! These entries may also serve as information for Lady Pheme's scandal sheet - unless you have specified that a certain topic is off-limits in her opt-out page.

This must be done over the last seven days of the month with the deadline being 12.01 EST on the very last day of that month. Failure to do so will result in your character being swept from the game. You must check-in with your individual characters.

If you miss check-in due to extenuating circumstances then please use the mod contact page to let us know.

Dear Pheme,

You're a petty woman. I don't like or respect you.

You brought Gintoki here. His place isn't here, it's in Edo. Edo needs him. Yoshiwara needs me. Neither of us should be here.

Things are... more complicated, because you also brought Zoro here. You brought us back together again and now it's your fault I feel weird and conflicted. I want and need to go back to Yoshiwara but I don't like being apart from him. I got rid of those feelings before, when I went home from the last place. Now you've brought them back again.

I'll make you pay for that.

...

Anyway my mun has had a really stressful month so if you could somehow manage to lay off the bullshit that would be great. Forget that bit, she writes you, so she brought this on herself. No sympathy from me.

Dear Pheme,

Whilst I have no wish to be rude to a lady, I do find you and your methods deeply unacceptable. You had no business taking Miss Pendleton or anyone else away from their homes and loved ones like this.

That said, I do find myself deeply conflicted. I am dead you see, where I am from, but I am quite sure you already know that. You seem to know everything about everyone. You have given me a second chance at life and with it, a second chance with Miss Pendleton. If she will have me.

We shared a kiss and so much more. I simply cannot get it out of my mind. It was... wrong of me to initiate such a thing. Where I came from, we were already wed. Here, we are not married, but I do plan on changing that.

I plan on asking Miss Pendleton to marry me once again.

Yours truly,

Jonathan Joestar

Dear Pheme,

Luffy,

This isn't for that Pheasant Lady at all. This is for my Captain. I don't give a damn who reads this as long as it gets to Luffy in the end.

The shitty cook is here with me now, so you don't have to worry. Just because two of your crew is missing doesn't mean we're in danger. We're holding our own just fine. Keep everyone else in line, and we'll be back as soon as we can. The Pheasant Lady has us trapped here, but we're going to find our way back to The Sunny.

Don't look for us.

I mean that.

This isn't a place for you.

Everything is wrong here.

You wouldn't be happy.

Your place is at sea, not in a world where everyone is meant to sit around and eat biscuits. Luffy, you'd be miserable. There's no way you can become the King of the Pirates in a place like this. Stay where you're meant to be, and we'll come to you.

Tsukuyo is here, too. You should remember her from the last place. She's safe. If you'll have her, I'd like her to come to sea with us someday.

No one else from before is here now. I don't understand that, but I don't mind it. Last time, some people took longer to arrive than others. I'll wait as long as it takes, even if I'd rather it be the other way around. We should be coming to you. You shouldn't be coming here.

I don't know what kind of vortex we've been sucked into, but it's like the gods of this place are taking us further and further away from the sea. I don't believe in that kind of thing, though. There are no gods. You showed me that firsthand.

The Pheasant can be taken down like anyone else.

I
There's something you should
Luffy,

Never mind that part.

Whatever world you've landed in this time, I hope the crew is with you.

Lady Pheme,

I'm not good at giving reports or doing journal entries or whatever. I'm not great at school, either, since I left home when I was young, so that wasn't exactly fun. Not sure it made much of a difference for me.

A few weeks ago I learned a friend of mine is saying some stuff that he shouldn't and then more stuff makes me think that I might not...

Well. I don't want to say that. No jinxing myself or something, haha.

I named my new horse Tango, though! He's pretty cool, so I'll take that.

Pheme,

You picked the wrong guy. None of this — your masked balls, your society papers and intrigue — none of that comes even close to being something I give a shit about. As fucked up as this sounds, it was almost a relief when that asshole showed up and flooded everything, showing the cracks in your creation. Just glad nobody was killed... for once. Except that doesn't make sense. There are always casualties. Did you have a hand in that, too? Yeah, I bet you did.

Too much to ask that something makes sense, huh. Keep thinking this is a dream I'll wake up from any minute. Except it doesn't. It keeps going, and I see how this is torturing some of these people. Or is that part of this fucked up game of yours? See how far you can push us until we come together for some kind of relief. You get your energy payout, everyone wins?

It's sick. But...

You gave Luis another shot at life. Maybe even a better one. Jury's still out if I should be thanking you or telling you to stop playing with humans' lives. Leaning a little towards gratitude, for now. I missed that guy. Ashley, too. Rather she was home with her father, but between this and what she's been through? I think we can all live with Andovale for now.

One last one for the road. Do everyone a favor and knock it off with your period-accurate sex discrimination, yeah? It's getting old.

V/r,
Leon

Lady Pheme I should be furious.

I can deal with being asked to dress up. I can deal with classes.

I'm just not sure what to do with you or this place.

OR THE FACT I AM NOW A WALKING ROMANCE NOVEL TROPE. OR IN ONE. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON, I CAN'T EVEN.

I liked it when the current Diamond and I had our friendship. She made me feel good just by being herself. Now I think she doesn't like me anymore and my feelings are a bit hurt.


Then a guy who has insulted me since the masked ball back when we first got here has well, he has changed. I don't know what he is doing but at least he isn't insulting me. Altair is handsome but I won't let him make me feel bad. What was up with him deciding to rescue me from my own anxiety attack? Birdie says I shouldn't carry a knife in my dress just because I don't trust him or many other men easily.

OH. I almost caused a scandal for you to enjoy. Gin is well, he's something else. A good kisser and he nearly saw things too saucy to mention by accident. I won't say no if he wants to repeat that. Maybe I'm a bit boy crazy? Ugh, but he's so handsome I might forget I'm attempting to learn how to play your game.

He has dreamy eyes and I think I could trust him. Maybe. We'll see.

There is one last guy in the story of my "hot girl May". Sanji. I don't even know where to start. Every time he talk I forget that I don't really trust guys with my feelings. It's hard when you know the cost of having your trust betrayed. Sanji is something else though.

He's respectful of me. He flirts but I never feel pressured to give more of myself to him. When we danced in class it made me feel things I don't know how to name. I gave him my calling card.

I really like him and I'm terrified of what that means. I need to trust him. I need to trust the fact he told me he would go slow for me.

I need to find someone I can talk to about this. Enjoy the show?

Dearest Lady Pheme,

Art is such a wonderful thing, it determines the aesthetics of the structures around us, the clothing we wear, even the entertainment we busy ourselves with. So imagine my shock and dismay over the lack of understanding that many people have over art, especially the students at the Academy. Art is something so many take for granted, and I feel that as a deep ache in my heart that I'll carry for the rest of my days.

I've taken position as lecturer for theatre and performing arts, but should I teach some visual arts as well? Perhaps an instrument or two? After all, the stage is not meant just for acting out a script. It's for the visuals, the costumes by masters of the needle and thread, the backgrounds and props painstakingly crafted by artisans, the dance, the music, the story, the emotions that woo the spectators into falling in love, even for just a moment. So many have perfect enunciation and are capable of spirited debate without pause for breath, then surely they can make their voice carry throughout a theatre. If one is capable of writing a love letter to their intended, then surely they can write a short script or poem that can move the audience's collective heart and inspire them to greater heights. If someone could return home and whisper a line of a song performed by my students into their beloved's ear, then nothing would make me happier. If a lonely performer in one of their plays gains even a single admirer and begins a courtship, is that not a worthwhile endeavour?

There is potential here, Lady Pheme. I would dearly like to nurture it.

Yours as always,
Shalem

Lady Pheme,

As charming as this city of yours is, I do not appreciate being treated as a plaything by a capricious and elusive goddess. I have an important job to do in the Last City, and neither the time nor the patience for all of this nonsense.

I would argue that, should you demand my respect, you have heretofore done nothing to earn it. That would not be entirely true. You have reunited me with someone I believed forever lost. He is more important to me than you could a very good friend, and I am glad for this chance — however brief it may be — to speak with him again. There was much we left unsaid.

Thank you.

Dear Pheme,

I cannot say I agree with you bringing me here without my initial consent, but I will readily admit that I am enjoying my stay. It has been a nice break and has allowed me to grow closer to a dear friend of mine.

I would have preferred if the magicks of this place hadn't temporarily turned me into my father however. That was not exactly pleasant.

I cannot think of anything truly of importance to report so I will leave it at that.

Yours truly,
Erichthonios

To the Lady who proclaims to be Goddess, Pheme,

I know not how you drew myself or any of my people from the Aetherial Sea, though I wish to find out. I know not why you did it exactly, though I am not sure that matters to me. I will give no allegiance to foreign gods, especially considering my role toward our own god, Zodiark. However, I will offer you my thanks for this strange reprieve from grief and sorrow that you have given me. You reunited me with Erichthonios, who is dear to me, and for that I am appreciative. Your bringing me here from my Rest means that my restored memories have come with me, and it has been hard to bear. But his presence makes it easier. Because of this kindness, if indeed we may deign to call it that, I am amenable to playing nicely with you for now.

That being said, did you intend to deter us from being together with those silly tricks at your academy? You ask us for intimacy and your rules bar us from it outside of a classroom? So funny. Needless to say, the ears of a rabbit, or even your transforming of Erichthonios into his father was hardly an obstacle.

Though my time as a student has been long, long over, I mostly enjoyed my lessons in that strange facility.

... How very interesting. I feel so many things I have not been accustomed to for many lifetimes now. I wonder what will happen next?

Curiously,
Elidibus, Emissary of the Convocation of Fourteen

Dear Pheme,

I must commend you on the prompt clean-up from Poseidon's outburst last month, though I'm sure it was no trouble for you.

That being said: many of your chosen are a lively bunch, and it's been a pleasure to get to know the others you brought here- doing so has even eased some of the loneliness and nostalgia I feel for back home at times.

It's been quite a long time since I've had to concern myself with proper suppers and classes such as the ones at the charm school. However, I am unfortunately not keen on how you gathered us at the school. I hope you decide against such means in the future- that could go a long way in gaining the trust and respect of your Chosen.

Sincerely,
Sersi

Dear Pheme,

Why is this adressed to you? Do you have anything to do with this? Get out of my business, lady.

Gonna be honest, this place is shit. I like the butler giving me everything I want whenever I want and all, but you really had to give me one of the most boring people in town. I still want a cute maid. If you are reading this, this is my formal request. If I don't hear anything in two weeks I'll come with another formal request. Thanks.

Then you ALMOST DROWN ME? Tell me it wasn't your fault all you want, why the hell did a pissed off god aim at US when he got left because he's an asshole? Seriously, they should leave us alone, we didn't do anything.

But thanks for all the ice cream I guess.

Dear Pheme,

Thank you for kidnapping me and forcing me to learn the pretentious rules of high society again. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Just because I went along with it doesn't mean I've accepted the role you want me to play, far from it. You can take back the extra points I received during the courting class for properly caring for a distraught lady. I did it for her, not because it's what society expects of me. Oh, and stay the hell out of my dreams. I only tolerate one godly presence in my head and it's not a capricious god with a shallow appreciation for color like you.

The eternal rebel,
Altair

Hey Pheme,

Oh. My. God. (Or should I say: Goddess?)

Honestly, I thought I was done with school a long ass time ago. So thanks for that.

Those classes? Mind-numbingly boring. I get they're kind of a thing here, and because I'm a good sport, I played along as much as I could. But that??? Was brutal. I'm just not cut out to be the fancy-ass kind of Lady you're expecting me to be. I swear you're worse than Joanne is with all of these expectations and shit.

Look. There are a lot of hot people here, so you did a great job there... and that's really the only reason I'm not hounding you for me to go home. This is a vacation to me, so like... let's keep it that way and give me WAY LESS tests, yeah?

Por La Diosa Elegante, Pheme,

First, I did not properly thank you for returning me to the land of the living. I'm sure that this gift does not come without its conditions, which I would not be against discussing with you at a later date, however I hope that I am right to assume that a Lady as gracious as you wouldn't take back a gift when the conditions weren't clearly given, yes?

Anyway, what is it they say - You are never too old to learn something? In this case, I had a very enjoyable time in our little diversion to the academy. As a boy, I always dreamed of riding horses like the knights and princes in fairy tales, of daring sword fights and beautiful señoritas swooning over my skill with a lance.

Well, while there weren't any jousting lessons, I did get to ride a horse, and impress some beautiful señoritas, so I will count it as a success.

I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for us.

Muchas gracias,
Luis

Dear Pheme,

Let's not talk about the masked ball. Or the creepy servants, or the interdimensional kidnapping. Let's not talk about the impossible people with impossible powers who are here among the guests. Don't even get me started on the flood, or how great it was to spend three days adrift in a flooded city.

Let's skip all that and focus on the bigger picture.

I don't know what the hell you want, and especially not what you want with me. I'm the exact opposite sort of person to be interesting in these ridiculous circumstances. I'm not interested in fancy clothing or balls, I couldn't get through the works of Jane Austen without falling asleep. And I won't embarrass myself by specifying how long it's been since I had a girlfriend, or a date, or done anything else tangentially related to that. I don't know anything about "thumos" except that I'm not the guy you want making it for you.

But in spite of all that, at this point I have only one very important thing to ask you. I'll stop complaining and play along for a while if you could just answer one thing for me.

This is all real... isn't it?

And also, why is my grandfather here? I mean, he's fuckin' adorable I can't handle it. But also, it's hard to act natural around him, because I don't want to be responsible for his second death.

Dear Pheme,

I still don’t know what to think about this city and why we’re here. I’m worried about home and the threat posed by my brother Knives. But, I guess by taking me away you deprived him of what he wanted and the power he was after.

I don’t mind staying here for a little while. I’d like to talk to you face to face one day. I want to understand you and everyone here. Please keep the plants in this city safe as you can, is all I ask.

And thank you for accepting all kinds of people. It’s more comforting than I expected to not be the only non-human around. I made friends, Jester, Shalem, Minos, and others that I can feel we all have a story about loneliness and looking for ways to fill it.

It’s…I don’t know what to think of you gods, yet. You stand above us the way Knives and I are different from humans. But I don’t want to react the way he did. I’m going to take this as an opportunity to get to know other perspectives and views. I don’t think I can reach Knives anymore.

I’ll still try but, maybe the way to get home to believe in me, lies in what I learn here. We’ll see. All I can do is try.

Sincerely, Vash.
