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,

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.

Lady Pheme

I wish you had asked or requested we go to the school. I get you’re upset and embarrassed by how we acted towards your fellow god. But I think this proves that grabbing people and expecting them to act as you will won’t work out.

Or maybe I’m missing that is the point. I don’t understand you anymore than I understand my own twin.

I want to. Maybe in understanding what you’re about I can take a look and finally see his point of view. Those dreams…I forgot how in sync we used to be. I never forget home and how much they support me.

But the deeper past…I think to some degree I try to tuck it away. We were happy once. I know why it changed for Nai. But I think…

I think it’s my fault he is the way he is. If I’d been just as strong as he is. Maybe tragedy wouldn’t have happpened. I can’t help how I was. But I look back…

I will come to understand you. It’s the path to him.

Dear Pheme,

I know it wasn't the intent of the god who came to us, but his coming brought me some clarity. No matter how things were before. No matter what I see in Nai. I can't run from him. I have to run at him. He's trying to decide the fate of countless.

Because of past sins. How is that fair? That's writing the future for many. That isn't up to us. No matter who or how powerful. I want to keep this understanding. This answer. Maybe I can reach him with it. I want to stay here longer and learn more perspectives. Understand more people.

While lost in that fog of fear, Leon reminded me of something important. Life is confusing. We're all trying to figure things out. It made me realize my brother is trying to figure things out too. But he isn't listening to anything but the echoes of the past. And fear.

I met a man who thinks he is just a sword. He doesn't know how to claim it and make it his own. That's okay. That's his journey. This is mine. One day I want to hold out my hand and have my brother realize...it's okay to be afraid. It's okay. We can build something better but we all have to work together. Pain to answer pain isn't the answer.

Dear Pheme,

They're gone. People come and go, I know that. I've lived with it for a long time now. But this time stings more than others. Maybe it's because for the first time. I know others like me. It's always been my brother and I.

But, I have...Wolfwood and I had a talk. Some of us stayed. It's enough.
