CLIMBING IVY IS....REBOOTING??⚒️

After a rocky few personal months for staff, the loss of some core characters, and an activity plunge, we in the meadow have decided the best way to move forward is a clean slate. The roleplay will be starting over from day 1 on August 5th!

We are now ready for new character submissions! Most of the biggest decisions have been nailed down, but new members are more than willing to help us smooth out the final kinks. Guiding principles include:

A collaborative storytelling focus with minimal "game" elements (so no-to-low dicerolling, stats, XP, etc).

Open communication and as little behind-the-scenes work from staff as possible.

Communal plotting where all members get a vote...unless they choose to opt-out and be surprised :3.

Mod introduction: MassiveSpaceWren! The applications for our Winteriron Zine are still open. (image text under the readmore)

MassiveSpaceWren Night birb who screams a lot (often about Marvel) and does art – sometimes simultaneously. Usually drawing art, joining all the bangs they can find, and enabling all plotting and having way too many prompts.

Why do you love WinterIron? I’ve loved Tony since I saw Iron Man 1 - it’s been almost a decade now! At first I went through different ships, and then got stuck on WinterIron when I read the Imaginetonyandbucky blog and read comics with Bucky and Tony working together, there was so much potential! They are very similar in how they go about things, both have some trauma they can recover from and help each other with - also, who doesn’t love it when Tony repairs Bucky’s metal arm? I am modding this zine mostly because I WANT ONE, Pretty art, comics, good fic, give me! I’m super excited for this, so come and join us in making it as awesome as we can. tumblr/instagram: @massivespacewren twitter: @MassSpaceWren Go to reforgedzine.com for more information For updates, join our mailing list there, or follow us on social media (tumblr and twitter) at @reforgedzine

Session 74: A Confession of Fear

An entry from a thick, leather journal tucked away in the shoulder bag of Wallace Bones:

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?

I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss for where to start this time, but in the sense of there just being…so much. A lot has been happening. Although I suppose that in and of itself isn't much of a surprise. It's par for the course.

But at the core of it all, I'm unsure about this plane. We've been here before, but I'd like to say I dislike it even more this time. It's all a little overwhelming for me.

I've never been one for very big cities, but this place seems to bring out that fear in a very similar way to Vaguess. It's crowded and anonymous yet at the same time, we've been under almost constant scrutiny of others. Even our contact feels more like she's observing us rather than simply interacting as an acquaintance. 

It certainly doesn't help that the Warden managed to so thoroughly convince Kirin that they were to be trusted. Who's to say that whatever mind tricks they fell prone to won't strike again in the future? We didn't even know about this effect until it was too late to do anything on our own. Oriz made a deal with Khonsu and Deoch, and the thought of whatever might be requested of him as payment down the line worries me more than I can express in only a few words.

I've scarcely felt safe while we stay in this plane. And as much as I dislike saying it…even Absolus is starting to feel unsafe. I don't experience the same amount of trust for them as I once did. Something isn't right about them, and this place is letting it show. Perhaps the details aren't lining up as well at this angle.

How ironic is it that I'm beginning to trust the Eel more than the Eagle?

I knew something had felt wrong when I…when I fell. I was scared though, and I wanted familiarity, so I stayed with them. I still am scared, to be quite honest. Is that a bad thing for me to admit, given the job we do? I think some amount of fear is healthy, but it drags on and on, and it's exhausting. Pardon the unintentional play on words, but I can feel the tiredness in my bones. 

I want those I love to be safe with me, but all of this uncertainty in everything we do puts that in such immense jeopardy. 

Is safety even possible anymore?

Something is messily crossed out here, now illegible

We have to encounter the fae again–willingly, this time. I would do everything in my power not to return to that place again, but as usual, we have very little choice. It has to be done, and whatever suffering we experience will simply happen.

I'm going to warn the others and hope that they listen and take my advice to heart. I'm not sure I want to talk about what I saw with them though, as much as it would probably help to understand what we'll be walking into. I don't think I've had a chance to process it enough yet. 

This will remain a secret between you and I, but when it's quiet...I think I can still hear the clock in that room.
