voidtreckermodsI hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.
IC Month
This month is the month of Horseshoe. Days can be found here.
The thought of the month is "Friendship is the comfort of knowing that even if you feel alone, you aren’t."
This means: Any thread where you are meeting new CR earns you two team points! The thread must be with someone you have not written with before in game but assumed CR is alright (e.g if they are your roommate, or a castmate).
Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during October AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!
Recipes are here. The key ingredient this month is teddy bear luncheon meat (both ham and beef types). All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them. Note that there is also quite a lot of fish, caught by passengers on Jema'gethery.
This month's chore assignments are:
Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Blue: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms
The Train.
As the month moves through the month of Horseshoe the train will stop to pick up new passengers.
When they return to the train they will notice some changes.
Coach K: Library Coach
This a double carriage. On the bottom floor there is a corridor running along one side, with a door to enter the carriage itself in the middle of the corridor. Up the stairs on either end of the carriage, the space is open, relatively.
Downstairs appears similar to a public library. The walls are painted brightly and lined with shelves, most of which are empty. Labels indicate that fiction books should be stored here. The wall facing the door is alternating windows looking out into the Void, and posters that seem to be large, blown-up book covers for the more popular fiction books in the train.
Four tables with linked chairs are spaced throughout the car, each one painted one of the team colours, and beanbag chairs similar to those found in the Games carriage can also be seen scattered in a pile in one corner.
A little wooden train with shelves built into it winds its way through the tables, its shelves filled with all of the previously-purchased Merry Little Void Train literature and the first book of several of the encountered but unpurchased MLVT series, including several colouring books. There's room on its shelves for far more than it currently contains. Kheli the rabbit is painted leaning out of the engine window, waving.
Along the far wall to the right are two scanning machines, which can do the following: register new books - as a helpful tutorial on the screen will inform you; provide summaries of books if given a specific title; or check books out if presented with a valid ticket. Passengers can have up to eight books checked out at a time; if someone walks out of the carriage carrying a book not checked out by them, the ICP speakers in that carriage will beep obnoxiously for ten seconds.
Upstairs resembles an academic library. The wall next to the stairs is a similar bank of windows as downstairs, although lacking the colourful posters, instead dotted with landscape paintings of previously visited worlds and unknown worlds both. Rows of shelves divide the space into six smaller workspaces, each with a single-person desk with lamp and bookstand and another window above, bracketed by shelves on either side. The bookshelves muffle sound, creating semi-private spaces around each desk.
The shelves are empty, with labels on each shelf indicating that non-fiction books belong up here.
This has been updated on the setting. Remember to let me know if your character does anything to alter the setting!
Important Dates
This month's mission will run from the 11th to the 24th September. A plotting post will go up on the 8th September
Reserves will open 18th September with a TDM going up on the 15th September. Apps are between 22nd September and 29th September. AC will run 21st September to 29th September.
Other Info
The passenger roster has been updated with point counts for the month.
A reminder that if anyone is doing anything crazy that they think may have consequences please let us know on the character shenanigans page!
