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,

Okay, so. For one thing, being kidnapped away from my friends was really pretty rude. For a place that's all about manners, that's not a good start. But I'm here now, I guess, as long as everyone's okay back home I can sorta forgive it. I worry about them, you know? A lot. And I miss everyone.

Caleb is here though! Even if he's Caleb from, like, forever ago. Same with Essek! But I'm still really glad they're here. It feels a little better, like I'm not really THAT far away from home. Even if I'm still really, really far. But it's way better than being alone, knowing at least some of my friends are here. I'm kinda worried because they're being stupid about some stuff though, and they'd be a lot happier if they just stopped being dumb and started being together. They're making things real complicated. But I'm going to help. Meddling for a good cause doesn't count as meddling, right?

I met some really cool people here though! There's Vash who is super sweet and comes from a weird world with giant worms and birds you ride on, which is cool. And Steve who seems super handsome and super nice. We got to dance. That was pretty great. I miss Fjord though. And Mama. And everyone. I can't even cast sending to them. It feels really quiet.

Also, do you know how good the pastries here are? Because they're AMAZING. You should visit and have tea and cupcakes sometime. We could have a real nice chat!

Love,

Jester

Dear Lady Pheme,

At first, I didn't understand my purpose of being brought here to Avondale, but I think I understand it now. I appreciate the generous accommodations and I've enjoyed getting to know the other residents. I wouldn't have thought it, but becoming a merman and attending dinner parties is a break that I needed, and never would have taken for myself. Getting a chance to talk to people in my past who are already gone is a gift. It's the greatest one I've been given. I can't thank you enough for that.

But it's also been brought to my attention that there's an urgent matter regarding the fate of the universe back home. I need to go and settle it. Know that I would never ask this allowance of you lightly.

Cordially,
Captain Steven Rogers

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.

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.

Dear Pheme,

While I appreciate the borrowed time and, presumably, your excision of SIVA from my systems, I would prefer not to spend it at the bottom of unnatural floodwaters.

Felspring's absence is concerning. Never have we been apart so long.

Sincerely,

Lord Felwinter

Dear Pheme,

What a fascinating place you've brought us to.

A little warning would have been nice, but I can appreciate a surprise.

Looking forward to whatever happens next.

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?

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.

Dear Harrowhark,

I kissed Cytherea with tongue and it was fucking hot.

- Gideon

---

Dear Harrowhark,

So, the person I totally Frenched wasn't Cytherea, but she does look a hell of a lot like her.

I think my brain got it all confused, Harrow. I was a mess. My brain was melting out of my fucking ears. I couldn't think straight. Then, I saw her, and I saw the first person that looked at me like I was worth something, and it just

I dunno, it just came out of me.

I'd never kissed anyone before then.

Probably the shittiest first kiss ever. I mean, it felt great. I was angry, and I wanted her to know how angry I was. I was mad as hell for what she did to us. To Isaac. To Jeannemary. I hated her. But, if I was going to let a Lyctor fucking murder me, I wasn't going to die without knowing what a snog is like.

Unlike some people, I'm not ready to die a total virgin.
Again.

I feel pretty damn bad, if I'm being honest. I shouldn't have done it. I wish I hadn't. The chick, Aerith, she was so fucking nice to me, and I went and smooched her like a sad dog. I can't even look at her without feeling like a sick weirdo. How pitiful is that, Harrow?

I shouldn't be asking you that. I know how pitiful you can be.

Bedfellows with fucking Ianthe? Are you kidding me? I thought I was low, but you crawled into bed with a half-skeleton chick. At least the chick I smooched was pretty. The one you wanted looks like a bedsheet and a pencil case had a baby. She looks like if a rotten lemon had eyes. She looks like a stuffed animal left out in the rain for ten years. She looks like a yeast infection. And you kissed her as soon as you opened your eyes. You didn't wait ten minutes before playing tonsil hockey with a fucking ghoul.

I at least took Aerith to dinner first.
Sorta.
I shared some bread with her once.

That's like third base, I think.

Anyway, fuck you.

That's the point of this letter.

I'm at school now, and I fucking hate it, and I've skipped all of my shitty sewing classes to help teach boring fucks how to hold a sword the right way. Pretty sure I'm going to fail the whole thing. If you were here, you'd be a total crank, but at least you'd keep me in line. You'd be aces at this shit, Harrow. You'd be so fucking good at boring old lady shit, you'd wow them.

'Cause you're a loser.

Die.

Dear Pheme,

Hey, bitch,

Be nice to ladies.

Try having a sip of the Respect Women juice, yeah? Like me. I respect the fuck out of ladies. Tall ladies. Short ladies. Ladies with little tits. Ladies with those long tits with hidden, secret nips. Ladies with those perfect, perky tits that're like in the perfect place for kissing when they're in your lap and riding you crazy hard.

All chicks are good chicks. They don't need to be shoved into a corner, or whatever the fuck it is you're doing. Any lady wants to sword-fight? Fine by me. I'll teach them myself. A chick wants to play cricket? Hell yeah. More power to her.

Get with the program, mother fucker.

Chicks are cool.

Dear Lady Pheme,

I don't have a lot to say about the Charm School. I do wish you'd allow us to show the town some modern innovations in regards to health and medicine.

I don't know if you are the one who has sent me C. If you are, thank you.

To the Goddess Pheme,

I don't know what you did, but for once in a very very long time, I had a pleasant dream. For that, you have my gratitude. The rest...I could have very much done without the rest. I didn't need to be reminded yet again of the impossible things I cannot ever have.

Dear Pheme,

Gods I can handle. But being made to go to a finishing school the likes I have not seen since my school days makes me think of my father, which I rather do not like. While I'm all for learning new things, perhaps we can go about a better way of doing so? Some of us are a bit too old to go back to school.

On the upside, however, thank you for Trinket. I don't think I'd be able to handle being here without him. Especially since you saw fit to take my brother away from me.

Should you need anything, please ask, darling. You seem to provide what we all need, perhaps you need something too?

Regards,

Hey Lady!

You know, not cool for kidnapping us in the first place. What's with my friends not knowing me? LAME.

ALSO not cool for making us go to school! We're fine with how we are!! School sucks.

Met a cool otter friend.

Give me my materia!!

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
