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.

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
