[????] Mortis Character Ramble Thread [18+ edition]

[skinstealer]

ok here is where we will talk about Our Guys. we can say whatever we want here about The Guys and you can also comment/ask questions/share thoughts back. think of it as a miscellaneous stream of consciousness about characters and how we're developing them at the moment.

there's over 500 characters in our roster which is very insane but we'll try to only focus on a few per ramble session/period of checking these, mainly based on who we're focusing on. there may be story spoilers in here, so as not to limit ourselves to "canon" information- but anything particularly noteworthily spoiler-y or graphic will be put in a lil spoiler box. this is an mature thread to cover our bases, and will contain mentions of kink stuff/sexuality sprinkled in. they'll probably be spoilered though.

if you like this thread and want to make your own, please do! let's all share characters together!

[skinstealer]

krowling here to start this off, hi.

thinking about tonic a lot lately. really, been thinking a lot about all of our characters, but the past few days i've sat down and really started developing comorbidity with the rest of the system. the comorbid system is a really interesting group of characters and we've been super honing in on the horror themes we want to tackle, as well as narrowing down what kinds of elements from our real life we want to incorporate into their backstory and ongoing life. all of the systems in kaleidoclub are autobiographical characters so to speak, so it's a bit of a fun puzzle figuring out which aspects of ourselves and our experiences go into what system "cluster".

some elaboration on that: kaleidoclub characters are based on a method of organization our system has for categorizing system members, interests, and trains of thought- the cluster system. there are 12 clusters currently, each of them pertaining to some kind of theme that means a lot to us. these are really broad but tend to correlate to overarching things you can find in our system members, our work, what we gravitate to both aesthetically and thematically, etc. i had the idea earlier this year of making characters based on these clusters in order to create an actual technique and method for us making characters as a system faster and more effectively, and thus kaleidoclub was born.

each system in the club corresponds to a cluster, and the members of that system are written by members of OUR system that identify with That Cluster. in comorbidity's case, they're focused on the horror cluster. people who have been around a while know that horror is one of our biggest overarching themes in everything we do, and while it's present to some degree in every kaleidoclub system by nature of the topics at hand and the setting itself, comorbidity focuses in on that extremely hard, going all in on horror tropes and using them as metaphors for real-world experiences. all of the imagery that's resonated with us over the years and provided us comfort and resonance, it's going into these guys- along with things that legitimately Scare Us, and probably will for you too.

here's some things you need to know about comorbidity going in: some cool, overarching stuff.



here's comorbidity! you can call them comorbid/comorbity interchangeably, and it's also an option to tack on "system" at the end if referring to them especially collectively. as a group, they're a plural system of 20 members that mainly presents masculinely, and can be referred to with they or he pronouns. species-wise they're a wolf variant concept with a horror sludge motif- thankfully, it's inert and completely harmless, and had their metamorphosis pretty early at age 12. they've got a bad leg and struggle with anything that'd aggravate it, though thanks to frequent exercise and working out (not entirely by choice), it often takes quite a bit to get to that point. they work as an independent script writer for prospective TV shows and movies- they've never gotten anything out the door yet, but they do their best.

the biggest conflict that comorbidity deals with is their having blood fever, a horror mutation-related condition that they inherited on their father's side. blood fever is a retooled adaptation of a goofy mechanic from our scratch roleplaying days, namely with our "werewolf/vampire hybrid" characters. those affected by it have to ingest blood (or an analagous fluid/body material such as slime. if it'd be qualifiable as gore to a person, it counts) regularly to avoid turning into a terror, which for those out of that loop (it's been a bit since we've been over these in a big way), are generally Very Large, Very Fucking Dangerous, animalistic and cannibalistic beasts. this "terror state" lasts until they consume enough blood to be satisfied, and then they revert back to normal with the worst hangover ever. fresh blood seems to have a better effect overall, and regular feeding leads to way less risk of turning terror than intermittent binges.  along with all this mess, it's accompanied by the usual telltale signs of horror mutation- mood swings, irritability, impulse control problems, and very intense hunger cravings.

if you couldn't tell by now, part of what we really want to go for with this is a narrative about being bipolar- and especially growing up with it in an abusive household and in the face of what can be best called medical malpractice. while we did not eat people or anything like that there were definitely periods where we lashed out at others (especially while on mis-prescribed medications that we assumed were helping us) and felt like we were losing control of our life, and learning to manage that outside of stressors and with adequate healthcare and support was a huge struggle- something we feel like we can tell with this. i feel like there has to be some kind of essay out there about bipolar + lycanthropy combo imagery/narratives, but if there isn't, i guess we'll write that. something something cycles

and now we get to Tonic, the primary fronter of the comorbid system.



tonic is a transmasc gay guy who prides himself on a more formal appearance and trustworthy nature. he functions as the backbone of the kaleidoclub due to him being someone people can always go to for help, no matter what kind it is. behind his very competent outward appearance lies a very pissy and oftentimes petty soul who craves affection more than he actually allows himself, leading him to be somewhat bitter and exhausted around the rest of his system. he is always trying to keep things together but has been doing this for Way too long and needs a huge break.

for years he's also been in charge of blood feeding, something that the entirety of the system has VERY varied opinions on. he doesn't particularly enjoy the act of it and mainly chooses to predate on those in rich neighborhoods quite a ways out from his home. it's higher risk, and admittedly has lead to the system being put on a bounty list...but he would rather take blood from people who can afford the resulting hospital bills. after a point however, the danger gets to be too much- and other members of the kaleidoclub begin offering themselves up for light feeding sessions. this ends up working out extremely well considering some of these fuckers are literally coated in slime that counts towards fever feeding, so just. take a fucking spatula and put some in a tupperware for later, i guess.



in headspace, he resembles a cartoony vegicrus. in calliope, vegicrus morbitians are often associated with the experiments their species was created to participate in, and for tonic, he associates the medical experimentation his system went through in order to try and cure their blood fever with that sort of history and setting, even if not 1:1 by any means. tonic's a goofy fucking rat with ~hellish medical history lore~, and one afflicted with blood fever even in-headspace.

despite the fact that he's one of the more cartoonish members of the system headspace-wise, he's generally taken very seriously by the other system members. people do not fuck with him unless they're willing to risk getting snapped at, which is something he's trying to work on a little. he doesn't really have friends in headspace as a result, and more sees the others around him as peers he's trying to survive with.

external relationship-wise, his social circle is very rich, and his current committed partners as of writing this are Shriek (from toybox system) and Ivory (como character!). Aloe (decomposystem) is also planned down the line, but we're still figuring that out. aside from that, he has a slew of casual partners amidst the rest of the kaleidoclub, though all of them are low commitment outside of the general friendship they share.

kink stuff
he also specializes in BDSM, specifically domination. he's willing to teach anyone in the kaleidoclub the ropes (hahaha) and does a good job of it- earning the respect of many.

that's tonic and comorbid for now. i may return with more thoughts!

[AceOfNothing]

Tonic is a good example of how far respect can get you, even if you look goofy. He's been through a lot and done a lot and you don't wanna fuck with that, love it.
Curious if there is anyone kaleidoclub who would fuck with/is on his shit list

[skinstealer]

as petty as tonic is internally, i think that ire only extends as far as his system- though he would NOT take well to any of the members of other systems fucking with people, partners or otherwise. there's a couple that would probably be difficult to work with in that respect...

thinking namely off the top of my head that he'd have strained relationships with Outside of the system:

regent, wyatt, chokechain, bloodstain, "nameless", bubble, scruffy, lore, arrogance, athame (and sidewinder to a degree), fleshed out, dagger (sort of), restraint, conch (ESPECIALLY CONCH) aaaand maxi. none of these names mean anything to you yet but They Will...

[AceOfNothing]

Oh wow actually a lot on the "kindly fuck off" list. Hope we get to see what Conch did one day.

If it's not spoilers, what's Tonic look for in his more committed partners? Anything special about Shriek and Ivory (and Aloe) in particular?

[skinstealer]

it seems like a lot but then you consider how there's technically like 120 people in the kaleidoclub and it's apparent he's actually being pretty charitable lmao- especially when you consider most of the system he's in are people he has problems with

when it comes to committed partners, tonic looks for someone who's willing to be Serious. not necessarily in a tonal sense, but someone who's willing to put their all into the relationship because he sure as hell does. comorbidity has a lot of stuff going on that is legitimately dangerous to themselves and others so there's a big focus on "will you take this as seriously as i do, and Are You Okay with these things- because i need you to be, if we're going to do this."

shriek has been through a lot of shit himself, including some to do with the extranatural (this is also why tonic is Not huge on conch- conch is a toybox member that's based Heavily within the system's extranatural trauma and causes shriek especially a lot of discomfort, even if it means well and hasn't actually done anything wrong. shriek opening up about this stuff made it very comfortable for tonic to open up about his own struggles, and shriek is extremely into monsters and shit so Yknow, That Worked Out. tonic finds his friendly attitude pretty infectious, too.

ivory is a fiend so the two of them bonded over Vampire Shenanigans pretty quick, and tonic admires just how flexible ivory is with helping members of the club as well. he finds ivory to be a gentle soul that he wants to learn more about and share experiences with, and the two of them value each other's company a lot when it comes to trading stories and information. also, they get to be fashion buddies.

aloe...we're still working on that. aloe doesn't talk to a lot of people until he meets tonic, probably in a dream-share due to the issues the decomposystem has with IRL interactions...but he finds himself growing very fond of aloe and relating a lot to their mutual experiences of Medical Nightmares. like shriek and ivory, tonic finds himself very devoted to him very quickly, and ends up taking up a lot of caretaker-ish duties when his own body allows.

[Shifter55]

He does seem easy to fuck with, especially accidentally. But he's someone with standards that are very important to him, looking like. Imagine a lot of the desire for a Dom role and position in the club is due to wanting authority and being careful with how he approaches that.

[skinstealer]

yeah no he is pretty easy to piss off if you toe over any of his lines, but he tries very hard to NOT be scary, he has a big complex over that due to the whole. very large vampire werewolf thing

he definitely craves a degree of control and authority in his life after being denied it for so long- but yeah, it's important for him to watch how that manifests and how he uses that sort of power- is he lifting people up with it, or breaking people down? he'd really prefer the former, any chance he gets.

as such he's a very morals-focused guy, for better or for worse. he spends a lot of time thinking about what the "right" decision is, even if it makes him run in circles a bit- and even though his situation has often warranted a lot of things that people would assert is VERY NOT GOOD TO DO. he carries a good bit of guilt and you could probably argue that him preying on rich people before turning to the club itself for regular feeding is him trying to assuage that a little bit, aside from the whole "logistically it makes more sense" thing

also i am going to make a moodboard for him because we've been enjoying doing that for toyhouse and there's nothing stopping us from doing it here as well. good for making the wiki Pretty

[skinstealer]

i said i'd do it and i did

[AceOfNothing]

Really like the contrast with the last pic for the moodboard, very soft lace. It still fits really well, and I love that.

If your still up to talk about Tonic, he got any hobbies? Any ways he comforts himself?

[skinstealer]

i am absolutely still up to talk about tonic and i was just wondering how i should go about starting a ramble today so thank you!


hobbies...he really wants to get into fashion stuff- most people will go "tonic, aren't you already into fashion stuff?" because of how sharply he dresses and how much he brings outfits into kink play but his biggest secret is that he'd like to invest in some fancier, frillier outfits, including dresses...only 3-4 people like to dress more femininely so he's really nervous about this, especially when he's the face of the system and has to be the one handling a lot of their actual wardrobe budget. it's hard to warrant dropping a few hundred dollars on a really incredible dress when he's the only person who would wear it (so he thinks. bonnie would be all over it.) but oh god he wants to so bad. he eventually gets ivory to help him shop at least! the momentum system also helps a fair bit considering they are fashion designers/textile artists but he ends up profusely apologizing for taking up their time after every session, lmao.

when upset, tonic generally just ends up pacing around until he feels better, and he doesn't have the best coping strategies beyond that. in headspace he's prone to breaking things out of frustration, but he would never have that kind of outburst in person if he could help it- he considers internal interactions to be very private in that regard, and gets extremely embarassed/ashamed when people see his freakouts in potential dreamshares.

[skinstealer]

...i forgot we had a proper color ref for headspace tonic in kaleidoclub. he looks like this actually

[AceOfNothing]

Darker pink
also love the dislikes being: Very serious, very serious, vegetables

Tonic needs a secret fashion sideblog or something, let him get some dresses. Get why he's hesitant at least but he deserves them.
also understandable about fashion. Can always want to be a bit *more* into a hobby. Anyone from the momentum system that maybe helps in particular? Just curious.

So kinda movement helps him get through stress? That's not bad at least. Breaking things is of course a bit of a step up. Hope he can stop feeling as bad about having breakdowns

[skinstealer]

(brief krowling interlude to respond to tonic stuff)

yeah, he's very like. he needs to move around to get his jitters and stress out, which along with helping with blood fever urges is why he works out so much. i don't know what it'd take to get him to feel better about breaking down, but we can hope he chills out eventually...

character and system member change. hi, it's xavier. we recently released kaleidoclub: frostbite and as the name implies, my guy frost is the main character along with como's guy, ivory. i'm really nervous about this so this is probably going to be rambly, but that's the point of the thread. here is...frost time




here's his intro from frostbite. frost is a member of the greenhouse system, and while he's qualifiable as someone who fronts a significant amount, it's not nearly as much as others. he generally prefers Not fronting due to having a significant amount of dysphoria/dysmorphia with his external body and not much in the way of friends, and spends a lot of his time avoiding as much trouble as possible. unfortunately, he also considers interacting with people to be trouble 90% of the time, so most days he's out and about he's off doing his own thing when not being switched in to deal with conflict.

as a member of the greenhouse system and thus a part of our "nature" cluster on a meta level, he works in gardening/farming. the artist colony the kaleidoclub resides in considers horticulture to be just as much of a valuable art as any other, and greenhouse works hard on raising the best crops they can in the community garden, as well as their own designated plots. frost doesn't tend to plants nearly as much as the others, looking for excuses when possible- due to his personal iteration of their breeze motif being cold, frosty air, it's not really ideal for most plants to be around. he'd much rather do lifting of already picked stuff, especially things that were going to be refrigerated anyway. the one thing he's really into on a personal level is tapping trees- the colony has access to some maple-like trees a ways away, and he doesn't mind going out to collect sap and help boil it down into syrup. it's an almost meditative experience for him, and one of the few times you can catch him smiling.

cold, wintry forests really are his happy place, and nothing gets him more pissy than a hot day. he cannot Stand summer and the only benefit to him is that he gets to see a lot more bugs, which he greatly enjoys the presence of. still, he enjoys wearing sweaters on top of his frigid body in person, and while more sensitive to temperatures in headspace due to his comber body, he would still rather wear more layers on a cold "winter day" (aka, the brain feels like it) than go naked even in his own mind.

when it comes to headspace, he lives in a forested section with his system members lore and pecan. the three of them make for unlikely roommates, brought together mentally by their love of the woods and all it entails. while all three have different draws to forests, the system's biome-heavy headspace seems to enjoy grouping people together with similar nature interests.

he finds lore grating and the two of them, while comfortable enough around each other to fire casual insults and jabs back and forth, do respect each other to some degree and don't get into fights so much as bickering.

pecan on the other hand, he's almost put off by just how...Normal he is. frost feels like he could never truly fit in with a guy who's so down to earth, and assumes that pecan must judge him for having different proclivities and anger problems just beneath the surface, but pecan thinks frost is just swell, if not a little temperamental and distant.

out of everyone in the system, stras is probably the only person he feels like he can talk to. while stras' sweet nature feels like way too much of a contrast with his own rough edges sometimes, stras respects him a lot and likes to provide encouragement in ways that somehow don't overwhelm frost. besides, stras appears to be a little weird around the edges himself...

even with all this drama, the greenhouse system is pretty cooperative. even though they've only known about their system for about 9 years (small amount compared to some of the other systems in the club, but longer than others), they've achieved a good system of getting things done IRL and maintaining somewhat of a social life...though for the most part, it's professional leaning and not one with a whole lot of friends.


ivory gets frost to come out of his shell for what honestly feels like the first time in years, as seen in frostbite...and while the two of them are very firmly friends with benefits and not anything romantic, frost does have his little moments of wanting to care for him "further"- something that he generally squashes down out of fear of looking less in control of himself.

[AceOfNothing]

Assuming questions are good for Frost too, feel free to ignore though Xavier:

So he doesn't really tend to any plants, but does he have an favorites? Whether to look at or if he really enjoys the taste of apples or something?

Does he put anything in his cocoa? Milk, whipped cream, marshmallows?

And any out of system friends? Or like... friendly acquaintances?

[skinstealer]

questions are very good...had a weird day so couldn't get to these until now but i am VERY down for questions and may do a ramble for frost in a bit as well....(also maybe a moodboard? krowling had fun with that)

>So he doesn't really tend to any plants, but does he have an favorites? Whether to look at or if he really enjoys the taste of apples or something?

he definitely likes apples and things commonly found in the fall, right before the cold hits. squashes and pumpkins are his absolute favorites, and while he still isn't great with handling them directly, he enjoys whenever his toothache system roommates use them for a delicious fall/winter meal.

>Does he put anything in his cocoa? Milk, whipped cream, marshmallows?

if asked he'd probably say that whipped cream is for kids but he does like marshmallows. while the big ones are pretty indulgent, he has a soft spot for mini ones that come in the instant packets.

>And any out of system friends? Or like... friendly acquaintances?

as seen in frostbite, ivory is his friend with benefits...i like to think that after that point, he starts coming out of his shell a bit, probably with ivory's encouragement. looking at the list though, i can see some people he'd probably get along with in the future...let's see

tallow from toybox for sure. those two have a Lot in common and i think once they get over their shyness they would really hit it off and become good friends. wrinkle from the stylized figures would probably be intimidating at first but i think frost would be really captivated by its art. sine in the glowstick system might be the only person he really talks to from there- most of them have WAY too much energy for him to keep up with. palm, pudds, trifle and allie would be cool too, all from the katt system.

greenhouse LIVES with momentum and toothache, so here's where it'll get interesting. from momentum, i could see him palling around with scruffy or scythe, but in a very "let's sit around and watch TV while drinking lukewarm soda cans" kind of way and nothing too intimate or close. he's on decent relations with everyone in toothache and is grateful whenever they cook for the household, but is only really anything close to friends with caesar, and maybe hock. 

RUNIC IS COMPLICATED. runic and greenhouse were childhood friends, so let's see...who does frost know from back then (he was a very old split)

you know what i'm going for the left field option. former childhood friends with arrogance. arrow was probably a lot different as a kid and shifted into its current angel-inspired appearance after some traumatic events we haven't figured out, so that dramatic personality shift put a big rift between them. i imagine it leads to frost feeling like "why the fuck can't you just be Yourself around me anymore" while arrow tries to assert that this Is itself (and neither of them being entirely wrong)

a strange situation, but a interesting one i think...possibly a good start for one of the prompted stories?

chewtoy from decomposystem would be a fun future friend- if not even a little saucy. chewtoy is a weird guy and would probably make frost nervous at first but they have chemistry, i think? roger and hitch from tuner would work well as companions. not sure for comorbid...river, maybe? no one from beau, they freak him out a bit (sorry to beau). finally...slice from toybox as well!

wow, frost, you have a ton of potential friends that no one knows about yet! get out there and do it!

[AceOfNothing]

Oooh lot of people. Curious, you see any personal overlap as to why? Like is there some personality traits a lot of them have or something? Some of it to me looks like "this person does/has this cool thing I want to talk to them about"

Absolutely love the idea of that being a prompt story for Arrow and Frost. Childhood friends talking about why they don't get along now/how different they felt about events isn't used enough. Just usually goes to "Well you moved to the city and are different now but I'm still country"

How bout any enemies?

And maybe uh.... Can Frost ice-skate

[skinstealer]

oh yeah there's definitely overlap. frost prefers people who are low energy and...honestly kind of moody? that's the biggest overlap here. while ivory isn't really either of those things, the majority of the people listed here are- and i feel like ivory is kind of a "mood matcher" at this point in his life. he is so go with the flow that he can match any tempo. but...as for the others, a lot of these people are grumps/moody, masc-aligned, and slow going. i guess it just feels right that frost feels most at home with people he can relate to, and while he cares a lot about ivory (and likely some of the other people who Dont fall into those categories), you can definitely see in frostbite that he has a LOT of nerves about interacting with people he feels wont "get" him.

basically, he wants to hang out with dudes with attitude. moody trans dude club

for those who dont fall into that...yeah, it's a lot of "huh, this person is interesting". it'd probably take a lot for him to actually VOICE that, but he does have more of an interest in the people around him than he lets on. he just sees their lives as...not for him. not something he's allowed to invest time and attention into. as such, he spends a lot of time drifting around and giving the appearance of not giving a shit, when in fact, if he would allow himself it, he would care extremely deeply.

yeah, we're feeling the arrow and frost thing eventually. most likely arrow and frost weren't the mainfriend pairing of those two systems, but they were definitely best friends for a long time and things just. fell apart.

enemies...let's look through the list again.

probably wouldn't like bloodstain from katt system, especially with the weirdness between it and palm. "nameless" is similar, he's just uncomfortable with the positions it puts katt as a whole into. boil and bubble probably make him uncomfortable, along with any of the other "horny roleplay character turned system members" in katt.

no issues in momentum or toothache.

outright does not like sidewinder in runic system, which is a problem considering she's the second most frequent fronter. he absolutely blames her for a lot of the shit the system went through and Is Still Going Through due to her inclination to fuck with magic she really shouldn't. athame is also on the shitlist for this reason, being an entity that sidewinder made a pact with and is also here to cause problems on purpose.

no issues in decomposystem. probably uneasy around locket from tuner. him and marrow from comorbidity bicker a bit, but that's mainly because she reminds him of lore. CAINE PROBABLY SCARES THE FUCK OUT OF HIM. same for sigil, but for wildly different reasons. like i said, beau probably freaks him out- most anxious around desire, rhinestone and princess.

balljoint from toybox makes him nervous. alcove makes him REALLY nervous. conch and maxi make him REALLY, REALLY nervous.

...i guess most of these arent enemies so much as "people he is especially tense around."

>And maybe uh.... Can Frost ice-skate

absolutely not

[AceOfNothing]

I wanna know why Caine scares him. And Sigil, and I guess the Beau system. Caine and Sigil being particularly labeled as "both scare him, for different reasons" makes me immediately curious.

Also no one seems to like Conch? I'm saying that after literally two characters but what did the fairy whale do

Also is Katt's system large? Seems like a good few were named for friends and sameish amount for enemies. Wondering if it's just like an even split with personalities or if there are just a lot of them

[skinstealer]

>I wanna know why Caine scares him.

i really wish we had the :whoops: emoji on here because i made that face IRL and so did rin.

so...Not Many People In The Club Like Caine. caine is a guy who has a lot of problems and a lot of club members are...sympathetic towards him, but a lot of them can simultaneously be described as being "entirely sick of his shit". caine is one of the members of comorbidity that tries VERY HARD not to front- because he is triggered by the act of feeding on blood and it makes him immensely sick to his metaphorical stomach. this...isn't because of any sort of repulsion to gore or anything like that, in fact, it's...the opposite.

Show Content

kink content, bloodplay, hard vore(?), starvation and self harm
due to a string of weird circumstances and a lot of maladjusted coping mechanisms, caine is Very, Very into the taste and texture of blood- or any other substance that'd satisfy blood fever. this isn't actually that uncommon for comorbid system members, but the difference is that caine is also Very, Very  ashamed and guilty over this fact, berating himself, hurting himself, and starving the body in order to avoid having to feed. this has lead to many instances of the system getting dangerously close to turning terror before someone else can desperately take the wheel and seek out a last minute feeding source.

as such, people don't. Like. caine. for how much danger he puts the system AND the entire club at risk, even if caine is a pretty nice guy if you get past his debilitating self worth issues and shame problems. our second kaleidoclub story is actually going to feature him and his experience making his first real friend, so look forward to that.

sigil is kind of just spooky and weird and puts frost on edge. it isn't really doing anything wrong, just a mysterious unknown that freaks frost out.

the beau system is...very flirtatious, and very impulsive. while they wouldn't come onto frost or anything like that, it is Very common for them to outright hang on someone's arm at a club meeting in a way that'd probably make even ivory blush, and that kind of boldness makes him nervous. the fact that they also have a tendency to get themselves hurt, and Badly, also makes him nervous around them- he's scared something's going to happen.

conch is...they resemble a very traumatic part of toybox's past, specifically their experience with an extranatural being called a fairy. conch is a fairy themself, but not a literal one- just a system member that took the shape of one combined with certain imagery from the fairy-related incident. while conch themself hasnt really done anything wrong, and they're definitely not the only fairy system member in the club itself (fairies being a very popular mythology thing in morbit itself- they have fairy tales too, after all)- but they are the one who behaves most like a fairy, something that feels uncanny and distressing to a lot of people on the off chance that they front. combine that with the fact that a lot of toybox people are inherently freaked out by them due to the trauma ties and you have a dicey situation with most of the club.

also i can't talk much about "real world"/external fairies, as a disclaimer. i want to leave a lot of those reveals to the heartsongs, as they're that system's creations. talking about the system fairies is okay, but i don't want to reveal anything about external ones by accident.

katt's system is the biggest in the club! it's got 27 members.
