Fair enough. This was my ENTIRE notes file for Sophia: It’s spammy AF:
Wait…
"I come from a WoD background as a player and storyteller. "
“I am an RL SA survivor.”
Wanting every dick in the room.
Throwing hissifits when things don’t go exactly how she wants them.
… Dear god, I think I know who this is.
If she ran a WoD MU* back in the late 90s/early 2000s where she had a PC in every Sphere who wasn’t officially the leader, but was fucking/involved with/de facto the leader, then it’s certain.
Wow. Now that is a blast from the past.
I can ask if the guy who taught Sophia runes still has it. If so… I’ll see if he’ll re-send it my way, should you actually still care after all of the above.
I find myself morbidly curious, yes.

Was nudged by the head staffer to make a character, was busy at the time, and said that. Was nudged again and again. Eventually carved out some time to put together a character, but didn’t do the application correctly as I don’t really understand the theme.
Said that and that I needed help to understand it. Wasn’t really given any explicit direction, then told exactly what I needed to do. Adjusted my sheet according to the rules at the time, resubmitted then the rules changed again so I would have to change the concept again. Was told my choices were all wrong and weird, but did I still want to make a character? Said I didn’t really get the theme and didn’t have time to, but good luck with the game. Looks popular.
Replies were much shorter now, with one-word answers. Woke up in the morning to find the password changed and my mostly-done character was now a roster character, mostly edited to suit what they wanted.
None of this is a surprise.

the app looks a lot better
i paged you some changes i’d like to see this time.
also, the difference between years 1-3 isn’t the stats. it’s knowledge of spells. which is reflected in the sample grimoire on the wiki.

I honestly don’t think I know enough about the source material to really get all this, or what means what.

so you’re not finishing the app then?
okay

@STD I’m pretty sure I’ve heard her mention or have been told that she did used to run a WoD game. I only have experience with her on other games, one now closed, and I quikly noped out of playing with her cause her style was abrasive to me.
-
She posted an ad on the other place and with her username there (chibichibi) I knew exactly who she was from some old WoD encounters. I don’t think I’ve experienced her as a game runner prior to this but she did have a thread on the other place for awhile about putting together a MtA game before it fell off.
-
To be fair you just described at least three people I can vaguely recall. Yikes.

I would be super pissed if a PC I made (even if I didn’t finish it!) was made a roster without my consent or approval. That’s so rude.
-
@DrQuinn I… have not seen this before.
In one sense, he was pretty clear he was dropping. But still, it isn’t the brainspace place of the management. It’s the person. To take that work and outright steal it?
That’s just one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard of, and no context can really make this OK. This person should never be running a game. Ever. Anywhere.
-
@DrQuinn Yeah it kind of felt like, violating? I don’t really know how to describe it since I had 0 commitment to the place, so wasn’t like a character I invested any real time into.
But still was my concept, a simple “hey do you mind if I use them to make a roster” would have sufficed to know my opinion on the matter.

This tracks. My limited experience with her is that she steamrolls and gaslights.
From the moment she got approved, she spent every scene trying to bully or beg any male PC to take a (cold!! we don’t even have hot water cuz game with ZOMBIES!!!) shower with her while OOC and IC insisting (against reality) that everyone on the game was already in a relationship.
She’s here to write smut. If you’re not gonna finish CG and TS her, then she will give your PC to someone who will.

On The Reach she played a nun that was like, banging her priest --they were both Hunters-- and it was just…
-
The second she complained about everyone “already having paired up” on the chat channel (like a week after the game opened??), I knew she was problematic. The booty shorts was just icing on the cake.
It’s a shame because I was really looking forward to the Magicians game until I realized it was a bastardization of theme and just a thinly veiled set-up for TS. Whatever.
Do find it funny that she didn’t just kill off some characters but their whole goddamn family, lol

This tracks, getting approved was an enormous pain in the ass because she literally rewrote the rules as I applied too.
I mentioned my character had a little flame spirit he’d summoned living in his lighter, having taken a dot in Familiar and not really seeing anything else about it anywhere, and she was like, “no, no, not possible, summoning is very complicated and difficult and needs a lot of prereqs, did you see the rules about it?” And I hadn’t, so I reloaded the site and she had just uploaded an article about it, loooooool.
(Of course, her main there is a summoner.)
I’m a stubborn fuck and just wanted to play somewhere to stop being rusty and didn’t really care anymore, so I just worked with her, but if she had just taken my character like she did yours I would be royally pissed, investment or no.
Capital-Y Yikes.
-
never trust a staff who can’t admit to their own fucks up, even as something as small as not having posted clear rules on x.
-
I never even finished making my character on the game, after having some lengthy but pleasant conversation with other players about my concept and if it would work.
Largely because once I’d chatted with them - and briefly with her - she got into a massive and public argument with a player who said they didn’t understand the magic rules, which were spread out in several places, and trying to figure out if they were missing information or really just didn’t get it.
After punting said player off the game (which she called ‘disinviting’ them), she paged me out of nowhere to apologize for me 'having to see that '. Was friendly and generally helpful even though I echoed much of the same things that the person she just punted said…
Even put up a more consolidated article like the punted player asked for that was apparently so disrespectful and problematic.
What was the difference, you might ask?
The punted player was female - or at least their character was. My login was a nickname used by both genders, but primarily (and historically) one used by men.
The second I referred to my character as ‘she’, the helpfulness evaporated and I got one line or one word answers.
Gee. I wonder what could possibly explain the shift.
-
I feel like any player who cannot seem to treat people with kindness and respect on their own game is unlikely to treat people with kindness and respect on my game.
As such, she’s been “disinvited” from Under the Stars. I sent her a very polite note indicating that we did not feel that she was right for our collaborative environment, and I have heard nothing from her since.
I have noticed a certain amount of new players joining us who had concerns about her presence. She has been unapproved, and if she makes herself a nuisance, she will be Gone. Not ‘dead’, just gone. I have no need to be petty and spiteful. I do not care to be vindictive.

She can’t CAST them, but. She can translate the language? I don’t know how that does or doesn’t end up working out if anyone ever learns that he has taught her, I just know that he said that he did?”

Forbidden Secret Family Magics Wizard
Rules Clarifications (2/3) Mon Jun 19, 2023 4:21pmI am just going to state this again so people in the back can hear.
The forbidden secret family magics (Sealing Magic, Omnyoudo, Wuxia, Rune Magic, etc, etc) are FORBIDDEN and SECRET for a reason. Outsiders do what they can (lie, cheat, fuck, murder) to get their hands on these secrets. It’s incredibly closely guarded.
Teaching your family secret magics to a non-family member will result in being hunted by your clan, becoming a pariah, and, if you’re lucky, only have the knowledge of said magic stripped from your mind (as well as the person you taught it to). If you’re not lucky, let’s just hope you’re lucky.
So don’t do this. It makes no sense for anyone to teach their secret family magics to non family members who weren’t deemed worthy of their secrets.

+===================<PM> (to Sophia) Ilaria says, “I sometimes wonder if she realizes how snarky she sounds on channel, or just doesn’t care. But it can be off-putting to new people.”
<PM> (to Ilaria) Sophia (sophie) says, “Like. I’m not trying to cause shit for no reason. I’m just trying to understand what lane she wants Sophia to be in. She’s been telling me all along that I have Sophia’s talent wrong, she can’t do what she tries, etc. And yet. By the end of all of that… SHE LITERALLY DESCRIBED SOPH’S TALENT as exactly what I’d been trying to say it was all along?”
<PM> (to Ilaria) Sophia (sophie) says, “AND. She literally knew, from Sophia’s +request, which she had been the one to suggest and then after approved, that Leto was teaching her the runes because he was trying to teach her the magic. We all decided that Sophia can read and understand the runes. She just can’t inscribe them or imbue them with power. So like. It’s there, in a recorded paper trail. I am just so confused.”
<PM> (to Sophia) Ilaria has been reading the stuff. If she ‘didn’t understand’ what Sophia could do, why’d she allow you to app it in? I think she’s being difficult, just to be difficult. She definitely has her favourites and it’s obvious. Her tone from person to person changes.
<PM> (to Sophia) Ilaria says, “My take? You were in better favour with her when you put in the app, so it wasn’t as big of a deal. She’s annoyed with you and Leto now, so it’s suddenly a ‘OMG! He’ll have to die! It’s TREASON’ situation.”

<PM> (to Leto, Sophia) Wizard says, “We need to talk. So it’s my understanding that you’re teaching Rune Magic to Sophia?”
<PM> (to Leto, Sophia) Wizard says, “Secondly, from reading of logs, you gave her some objects that have your specific rune magics inscribed on them, yes?”
<PM> (to Sophia, Wizard) Leto says, “Firstly, yes, and Sophia has already alerted me about thematic issues with that and we are discussing resolution. Secondly, yes I did, items that have been invalidated since our discussion about said runes-in-clothes.”
<PM> (to Leto, Wizard) Sophia (sophie) says, “I am staying out of the Erikson magic part. If Leto wants to stand by Sophia knowing his runes, we’ll figure that out. As to the gifts he’s given her, she has the coat stashed in her closet and hasn’t touched it. The only rock rune she has that she has tried to use was the one that was intended to protect her from dreams, but, it has been failing anyway.”
<PM> (to Leto, Sophia) Wizard says, “Here’s the thing about those gifts. The reason the family magics are forbidden and secret is because anything produced by them is always always always a direct sympathetic link back to the caster. Those gifts from Leto? Someone could steal them and make him blow up from a universe away and no would know how it happened.”
<PM> (to Leto, Sophia) Wizard says, “That includes Fitzgerald, Tsuchimikado, Wong, Laveau, Balamkamche, Sargonian, Murshid, and Kahuna secret magics.”

<PM> (to Zayden) Sophia (sophie) says, “I’m using one of Sophia’s Themauturgy dots to cast Eye of Soph, as a single practitioner. Sophia is going to take the triple time to do so. It’s a short first-year cantrip, though. I would say even x8 it would be 5-10 minutes, max. She’s throwing all of her knowledge and talent into the cast, too. What dice roll do you want? And, rolled prior to the pose, or after it?”
<PM> (to Sophia) Zayden (Zay) says, “That’s spellwork. So it only take like 3 seconds.”
<PM> (to Sophia) Zayden (Zay) says, “And you can roll or pose first, whichever.”Research is Sophia’s lane. Laurent says he needs some, she nods. She looks his way as he asks her to. She considers what it is that he wants her to try to look into. “I can look and collate what I can find, but. That’s your year, not mine. You’ll have to make the library requests. Grab me the books you think you need, and I’ll get them read and put together for you.” What’s one more topic to cover compared to the vastly growing list of things she’s trying to read up on these days? And that’s not even counting the actual required readings for her summer electives, her upcoming fall term reading list, or the research she’s already starting into about what she’s wanting to cover as her second year thesis this year. Sophia is drowning in books. At least when it’s ink she’s going under in waves, she doesn’t miss how hard that makes it to come up for the gasps of air that keep pulling her back into the next new things.
She looks up when the firsties join them in the hall, rather than waiting in the locked safety of Leto’s room. “Damn it.” She says it softly. She’s not angry, she’s not even disappointed. She’s just scared. “I know we all know she can’t be alive and dead at the same time,” she tells the group, her voice still soft. “But we don’t know which version is where or what. Stay out of her way, whatever is happening, this isn’t something to get in between, ok?” She’s not dumb enough to try to shove them back into the room they’d chosen not to be ushered into. But. She’s still going to do what she can to keep them out of any harm that may or may not come of things. She nods at Zayden as he tells them all to keep him in the loop. “Yeah, will do. Same, though. Check in now and then. If there’s not what should be under that shroud, be careful.”
While she’s talking to Zayden, Luka is offering some magics of her own. Sophia swallows hard at the target he picks. She’s not surprised to see Luka casting, and, she’s not trying to stop him at this point from any choices or decisions he’s going to make. Rather than looking at any of the men, Sophia’s eyes find Ilaria’s, letting the woman’s eyes and smile anchor her through the spellwork they seem to be planning to do. Laurent’s zone of truth is not something Sophia knows how to cast. She had considered a revelation charm, but… Instead, she decides to channel her own efforts and intentions into something similar, but more aptly named. Eye of Soph. If they’re going to be casting longer, stronger magics… Someone needs to keep an eye on Sparrow. Sophia isn’t the strongest caster in the bunch, but. If Sparrow is Sparrow, she can slow a blind girl down. If Sparrow isn’t Sparrow, she’s willing to be an obstacle between her friends and whatever she might or might not be instead.
She’s talking to herself softly. Her hands have lifted and are making the gestures the tutting requires. She’s throwing every bit of her theory talents behind her work, and she’s taking some time to do it. It won’t be quick. But. It’s not a long spell. Even multiplied, the cantrip is no more than a minute two at most would do the trick. While she starts to work up her cast, double and triple checking each and every piece of it, she’s also slowly starting to walk her way down the hallway and towards the stairs.%% New forum post Boosting Rolls With Magic (2/4) posted to Rules Clarifications by Wizard.

<PM> (to Sophia) Zayden (Zay) says, “Yep. No problem. Just wanted to be clear.”
<PM> (to Zayden) Sophia (sophie) says, “Seriously. I have NO expectations from this plot. I doubt Sophia will ever know, or get to find out, unless someone else tells her about it. Just. I have no idea how to extract her from the stories and need to know of others.”

Sophia’s fatal flaw has ALWAYS been that she just cares too damned much.”Honestly. A long and complicated spell done with the support of an Erikson is probably not the first thing Leto has done in this hallway to raise eyebrows. The fact that he’s supporting Conrad in it while doing so this time… That may be a factor. There may even be speculation amongst the gathered crowd that the boys are all doing this due to the brunette who reaches the edge of the truth’s zone and then just sits down. Sophia seems to be as resigned to this as she was when they got into it at Welters. She’s as resigned as when they were in the hospital at her bedside. She gives every indication that she’s just sitting down out of having lost the will to fight. It’s like bubble jail, redux.
All except for the shape of her fingers as she peers through them at those amassed now upstairs. She’s looking over EVERYTHING under the guise of simply covering her tired eyes. She takes in the casters, the firsties, those who have come out to speculate and film it. She takes in Sparrow. Her head leans back against the wall, short enough to rest back against it without the banister. Sometimes, being the typhoon’s stormy-eye amidst too much boy drama works in a girl’s favor. Sophia - for once - is glad to milk her ruined reputation now for all it might still be worth.
Eventually, she rubs her eyes, lowers her hands, and pulls her phone from the pocket of her shorts. Her hair still smells like bonfire and barbecue. She’s still wearing one of Conrad’s old college tee shirts. She thumbs open her text messages and sends off a message.
(TXT to Zayden) Sophia: Hey. The boys are still casting for the truth. Aura-wise. Magic everywhere, because Brakebills. But. I know what this version of Schrödinger’s Witch looks like. If there’s anything under that shroud to bring back, I’m curious to know if it’s the same, dead as it should be, or something in between. Seriously. Be careful.

Let them talk.
Because now, the crowd needs a cover story. Something to distract them from what they’re /actually/ doing and what they’re actually preparing for. “Hey Soph-” Leto curses under his breath. But you know what? Fuck it. “What do you think about all this drama? I’m achin’ to know.” Yep, bring it right on back to drama, make it look like something COMPLETELY different.
And hopefully, give everyone else a chance to question this mystery not-dead woman.The very worst part of this? The casting isn’t even complete yet. Sophia could at least try to lie. But. It would defeat the entire purpose of the cover she’s trying to build for her friends. And. She already knows she’s a truly terrible liar. She closes her eyes. She cannot make herself watch any of them as she answers that question. Of course it’s Ken who saw right through Barbie’s act first. He’s asked. And now? Sophia has no real choice but to answer. If Sophia ends up all over the internet saying this… Her mother may not ever have been prouder. But Sophia has never made an effort to make Essex proud, not for a long, long string of years. Her head is still resting on the wall behind her, and her body slumps back to join it, too. At least when she stretches out her legs across the hall, she’s effectively working to be a tripping hazard along the path to the stairs. What does she think of all this never-ending drama? Please. Let her tell them all.
“I think that it sucks that my bestie would rather hate me than talk to me.” Even if they have found a version of a truce. Even if the apologies have been started being made. “I think it sucks that I’m falling for a guy who makes no promises and hasn’t even taken me on what most would consider a date yet even if he has been the most stand-up human I’ve ever met, and he’s had every reason knocked on his door at three am too many times now not to have damned good reasons to be done of it.” A Fitzgerald. Essex is so delighted. The invitations to Christmas dinner are going to intensify. “I think it sucks that the hedges hate the classics and the classics hate the hedges, and I think it sucks even more to be half of each, so. Enough to be off both sides and not enough to be on either.” Team Breakbillionaires for the win instead. “I think it sucks that when I got my first life-time scar, my once roomie didn’t want to talk about it, but…” She gestures a hand towards Conrad as she leaves her eyes closed, “She spent plenty of time asking me to tell her about the physical details of a dick she could have just asked him to show her himself.”
Is it popcorn for a movie? Not really. Is it absolute gossip fodder after everything that has gone down? Candy may have never been sweeter. Her eyes are still closed, so she doesn’t see the tall dude who had asked who invited them, but her gesture moves towards where Leto’s voice has posed his own question, and she goes ahead and answers the unseen dude who had asked it. “Summer electives. Lee invited me.” As if that gives Sophia any actual right to be there. But. It’s definitely enough truth within the not lies she’s telling to try to stick with her story. Is she close enough to Conrad’s zone to count? Yes. She’s just inside the outer edge’s of the chalked lines of it. Nothing is more believable than a truth that throws a dagger at someone you love. Is it a good explanation? Not at all. Is it enough to limit the potential fallouts and expulsions? Maybe.
Is there consent involved in what they’re trying? Not really. Was there consent involved when Conrad and Laurent each had smear campaigns aimed their way for a murder that seems not to even have happened at all? Not really. Sometimes, the ugliest fact in life is the simple truth that a lot of times, all hurt people do is hurt other people as they keep trying to stagger forwards.Luka isn’t also large. But he is in really good shape, and he’s already truthful. Plus, whether not the golden glow remains or has already faded, he’s pretty. You never know what’ll work in a situation like this! “We’re really sorry for the disruption,” he explains, his expressive brown eyes going large and puppylike. “We won’t be much longer and I promise we’ll get it cleaned up really fast.” He casts a concerned glance in the direction of Sophia’s performance, unsure of whether or not it’s a distraction or it’s real. “My friends are in a personal crisis and it’s made them unstable and a little unreasonable.” Where’s the lie? Did he lie?!
<OOC> Zayden says, “Luka: Was that all in the Zone or not? Be clear about that part, please, cause it is obvious to everyone looking.”
