Rightie, hello tumblr! Welcome to my blog thingy! I’m Izzie, and I’m an Urban Explorer who’s teamed up with GhostHuntersUK once or twice in the past. Unfortunately I lost contact with them after they broke up, and there’s this video going around of… I think Melanie…? Anyways either she seriously pissed off the ghost in that area or she got a bit of Carbon Monoxide or something, because, uh… yeah. Probably should’ve used a gas mask over there, people didn’t exactly get the memo that poison was not a wall decoration at the time…
Anyways I still do urban exploration, and absolutely plan on posting about it here! That and other weird and cool shit I feel like yapping about. But uh, yeah! Izzie out!
——
Edit: ok so some shit’s gone down, I uh… I work at the Magnus institute now. Most of this stuff still holds up, but yeah, that’s a thing.

Welcome to Isla Connors’s blog, re-done and revamped! A few things before we set off;
This is a TMA roleplay blog, so spooky shit is bound to happen.
Izzie is 20 and probably aroace, Please don’t flirt with her.
magic anons are absolutely allowed :3
Yes, she’s still originally from America. Yes you can make jokes about it.
Right, with that out of the way… let’s get into it!
^^^^ the picrew I used to make her initially-
^^^^ the current PFP made by @iiinkos (thank you so much btw she looks amazing)
Tags are pretty much just Asks - Asks, Reblogs - reblogs, shitposting - shitposting. Special tags do show up though, like;
Abandonedposting - Urban Exploring shit (both reblogs and posts,)
Artifactposting - her ‘look at this cool thing I found’ tag
Spookyposting - ‘look at this cool thing I found’ but it’s an eldrich horror/supernatural entity
adding to the tagging list!!
old ass yaoi men - anything involving Jonah, barnabas, Simon, or Peter.
Spooky encounters - interacting with weird eldrich bullshit (not including just… interacting with people, I mean like the haunted circus thing or ending up in a domain or general spooky area)
Smirke’s Pokemon - she has a bit of a hyperfixation on weird architecture and historical yaoi, and that led her down a rabbit hole, so… she knows more about the Fears than she knows about… the Fears? In a way? Basically this is her ‘accidentally became well-versed in the Dread Powers to the point of literally using it as her tumblr name while not knowing that this shit is actually applicable to her life in any way’ tag.

[seeing the familiar Victorian man at evilcon was certainly not on her bingo card… though Izzie guessed it kinda made sense? He was an avatar after all, and this place was kinda already full of time travel shenanigans, so it might not even be the first time Barnabas has gone.]
[ Barnabas noticed Izzie and similar to her reaction, was also surprised. This quickly changed to delight to finally see someone he knew and was on good terms with ]
[it… took an embarrassing amount of crowd-maneuvering to get over to the only familiar Victorian in this whole place, but she managed. At least enough so that Barnabas could close the gap himself if he so pleased. She did try to wave him over still, you know, just in case.]
[…hold on a second… Izzie didn’t have a name tag on. The ones they handed out at the front desk, the one Barnabas was wearing that had the name of the fear he served and everything.. did the girl lose hers somehow?]
[ Barnabas did eventually walk over, smiling. It was more stiff than usual, and he seemed to walk different. Wholly he just looked more formal than. usual, which made sense. ]
Hello, Izzie. I must say, it is quite startling to see you here! Have you lost your identification? I am most certain there is a sort of section for any belongings not claimed by the Dark that one misplaced.
“uh-“ [well, Barnabas is acting weird and she’s not about to blow to tell the dude she had to sneak in, so… sorry Barnabas but we lying our asses off today.]
“I already checked, they didn’t seem to have it. Been trying to get a new one, but uh… I… may have kept getting distracted by shit?” [ok ok… good, very Izzie thing to say while also making it seem like you belong here… nice cool cool cool…]
well, it’s certainly been… interesting, seeing all these different avatars here without having to be thrown at them, heh.. [she smiled, rubbing the back of her neck.] dunno why, but I wasn’t expecting this… many?
[the time travel probably had something to do with it.]
Well, I would definitely say the Fears have a very widely strung connection on many individuals. I do agree that there far more people than one would be accustomed to, however...
[ Barnabas chuckled nervously, before seeming to remember the question ]
Oh, I am doing as usual. I must admit I did miss being in these sorts of environments. I have met others who are from the same era as I, it has been positively delightful if I must say.
oh yeah, there would be some of those guys here wouldn’t there? [Izzie piped up, glancing around as if to try and spot another Victorian right now or some shit. Weirdly enough she hasn’t seen anyone too ‘future-y’ at the con, despite the whole… being set in like 2400-something thing. By all accounts she should be even more lost in this timeline than Barnabas in hers, but… either everyone looks slightly newer or around the same time or way, way older…]
I am afraid most of them are not in the central area at moment. Most would not admit, of course, but the walls, the lights, it does not bore well on them.
[she chuckled at that.] “yeah, I figured… I mean, holding the venue on a spiral stronghold probably doesn’t help much either, but… I’m not even sure incandescent lightbulbs were invented when you originally popped up.”
[she could be wrong… after all, this was the same species that put wheels on luggage AFTER sending people to the moon, so…]

ow- damnit- uh... yeah, yeah i'm ok.. you guys? [she asked, wincing as she got up. and we are officially back to throwing izzie around like a ragdoll, woo!!]
izzie, nice to meet you guys... sorry about.. that. they haven't done that in a while... [she muttered rubbing her head. apparently this was a normal thing for her..?]
oh- no, no, I- well I do have my passport but that was after the Hawaii incident- uh, no, I moved to Britain a while ago, probably about a year before this- [she motioned to where the anon had been] started? I- I’m not stuck, I’m good-
funnily enough, anons again. apparently they found something interesting to them back here and just... yeet. that was around the time i decided to start carrying the passport around though... [she sighed, rubbing the back of her head.]
[man, and that's not even mentioning the russia incident.]

[Izzie was wandering around the con; she hadn’t managed to meet back up with Gerry after the bus, unfortunately, and quite frankly there was way too much interesting stuff around her to really focus on what she was supposed to be doing. She was absolutely going to get eaten by cursed dnd dice or some shit…]
[eh, it’s fineeeee there’s no way- a. Oh that’s a cool stall..]
@dread-powers-dumbass
[they perk up, their ears going from relaxed to alert in less then a second]
Business? For the first time today?]
Welcome to my shop of wonders, my menagerie of surprises, my world of possibilities..
[to be honest she had been drawn to the stall by the cool-ass, probably cursed deer skull in the corner, but all thoughts of that left her mind when she saw the absolute most soggiest doggo of an Everchaser (she thinks) she has ever freaking seen.]
oh, uh… hi there? I don’t… [ok. No, Izzie. Be confident. Hunt was… it was one of the fears that involved tracking, right? Make something up about that. You’re totally an avatar and you’re looking for tracking stuff.]
ahem, sorry. Still… getting used to things. Er, you don’t happen to have any sort of… tracking relics, do you? [she asked, completely bullshitting.] I… figured I’d have more luck here than one of the Eye stalls…
“you can?” [she asked, sounding a bit… well, trying to sound like this was interesting to her and not something… mildly terrifying. She felt like she was digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole.]
“a- and it’s a someone, not a something… I’m uh… I’m looking for a…” [Izzie thought for a moment, trying to pick out something believable.] “a… certain Raymond fielding?” [she decided, literally just picking a name from a statement she read once.] “I’m not sure if they managed to make it to the con or not, but them and I need to have a little chat about something they pulled a while ago…”
[she feels extremely lucky that she put a bunch of the Evil Boss’s Credit Card Money into her own debit card before this..]
[shit. That part was… going to be tricky. Uh…. Fuck… how long will it take before this thing realizes she’s bluffing?!]
er, well, I couldn’t exactly bring the whole thing with me, there wasn’t exactly room to carry around a whole… [she glances around for ideas] …table… on the bus here and I’m not one of those pocket dimension types…
[there’s another table in artifact storage… maybe that’ll be good enough?]
the object is… currently in the Magnus institute, unfortunately… I’m not sure who was in charge of keeping that thing until we found Raymond, but they quite obviously failed… I’m assuming you’ll want a bonus for having to deal with magnus’s old building?
[outwardly, Izzie let out a disappointed sigh. Inward, however, oh my gods she was so relieved. That was gonna so badly if the wolf-boy went through with that…]
“no, I suppose not, I’m afraid… unless you have any artifacts made for tracking people down, I’m fairly sure I’m just wasting your time.”
[…oh my gods this guy was… they were acting like a stray dog or something..]
“hmm… actually, do you think you could come with me? If there’s any chance feilding did come this year, it might be good for me to have someone with… superior senses than me on the lookout for them.”
[totally not because izzie kinda felt bad for the soggy everchaser. Totally.]
honestly I was expecting the vendor to set the price. [she hummed, motioning to the wolf.] usually that’s how these sorts of things work, i believe? It’s… been a while.
[aka she’s never been to fucking Evilcon and has no idea what the norms are but has a bunch of Elias’s money that Gerry gave her access too and she is now using in the most irresponsible way ever.]
I’d rather not give out information Willy nilly without knowing what it is you want. [she hummed. There. Yeah, that seemed… spooky and avatar-y enough.]
buddy, I need to know what exactly it is you want in return. Tell me what I’ll be paying, and then we can get on with this. Otherwise I’m fairly sure we are just wasting each other’s time.
