Her Mantle Is Love

Thank you for the praise! If you enjoy Mantle, I highly recommend the Flamingo Cabal thread here on SV - it already has multiple of my favorite stories recommended, so I expect the remainder of the curated works to be similarly high-quality.

That said, please refrain from debating the moderator decisions of another forum in this thread: I would really rather not turn this thread into a discussion of gender politics, even if there isn't a rule against it here.

Link? My search fu finds nothing. :/
 
Wow, I just looked at when this quest actually started. About a week before I started watching the quest forums so that I'd be able to catch quests as they started. I just don't have much good luck with this sort of thing.

Maybe I'll bend a little on preference, and join in on this. We'll see.

Fuck QQ and every single transphobe of a mod in it.

Good to see this quest here, @Evenstar! I always liked this quest a lot, it's really thoughtful and depicts the idea of love really well.

HAHAHAHA. No. You don't know jack shit bub. So kindly shut your mouth. Evenstar got infracted for trying to start a political shitstorm, which is a big no-no on QQ. So take your victim complex and put it back in the box it came from.
 
[X] Don't.

This should go in PM, not on a public thread. This is not the place.

    official staff communication It's certainly not okay to jump into a thread for no other reason than that, yes.

    Look, whatever happened on QQ happened on QQ. And it can stay over there. And if you have some kind of issue with this thread, then you can stay out.

    I don't really want to make official staff visits to this thread habitual. So don't start shit in here. Either join in on the quest or let the author work.

    e: For absolute clarity, if you aren't participating in this thread, that is if you are not here as a reader or player, then don't post. If you do, your post will be deleted. If you have some kind of issue, then either PM me directly, or post a thread in Ask a Private Question.

    I have no issue with the moderators on QQ, and I do not believe them to be transphobes. As I already said to Elenchus, please refrain from debating the moderator decisions of another forum in this thread. If you must, please use my user profile page.

    Anyone know why there's more pages for reader mode then there is when just viewing the thread normally?

    Eli, let her in!

    Edit: I'm glad to see this here. You are great at this @Evenstar.

    3/5 Stress. We're not having a good time.

    Effects of Stress:
    You generate 1 less Will each night for each point of Stress you have.
    All Drives you possess have 1 less strength for each point of Stress you have.
    If you have three or more Stress, you must dedicate all your actions to satiating your Drives.

    Ways to remove Stress:
    If you end a day with no unsatisfied Drives, you clear one Stress. This will probably require help from someone else!
    If you accumulate five or more stress, all Stress immediately clears as you begin Suffering. If you are in Social Combat and begin Suffering you forfeit that Social Combat.

    Thistle is important enough to us that this might be worth taking yet another stress, but I really don't want to go there without a plan to get back out. Suffering is not a plan.

    Can Thistle and our sisters get us to the point of recovery? Ideally tonight?

    Humm. I'd like to say yes, but I can't say for sure. Main reason I'm voting for it is that I'm a sucker for things like this. I'll also note that there's no mechanical difference between Stress 3 and Stress 4, beyond what happens at Stress 5.
     
    Well, if we can get it down, it's the difference between being as drive-bound tomorrow as we are now versus having a clearer head to cope. But you're right, it seems like it wouldn't affect us immediately. We'd just have to be very very careful to not do anything we can't afford to fail at.
     
    I'm willing to take a 4th point of stress because the foundation of a positive relationship is trust
     
    I'm thinking this may be one of those 'spend money to make money' situations, yeah. (Gain stress to lose stress?)

    Please don't shut her out, please don't slam the door~
