May Information and CR meme!

I hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Fiddlesticks. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”

This means: Every thread in May or June where your character learns, or is learning something new will be worth 2 team points. This might be learning something new about a friend, learning a new skill or learning something about the train or a world.

Threads that fulfill this criterial can be submitted during June 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 bacon. All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This months chore assignments are:

Purple: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Red: Meal Preparation
Orange: Laundry
Blue: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

The Train.

As the month moves onto the month of Fiddlesticks the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will find a new sleeper carriage!

They will also discover a change to the dining and kitchen facilities. They now cover two double carriages. One carriage is the kitchens- with one floor ovens and prep area and the upper floor washing up and more prep. The dining carriage now has two floors, both with a long wooden table and benches. More room for everyone!

They also will find a cinema

All of 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 event will be a mission event From the 9th to the 22nd May. An info and plotting post will go up on 5th May.

Reserves will open 18th May with a TDM going up on the 15th May. Apps are between 22nd May and 29th May. AC will run 23rd May to 30th May.

Other Info

Just a reminder about this character shenanigan post. This post is for those times you have an idea in mind that you believe will have consequences and be in the midst of writing the thread, however you want to know what those consequences will be for threads going forward. Or you might still be in the planning stages and would like to know how things might pan out.

It is also for letting me know if your character has done something noticeable that may have consequences. Or if your character is trying to interact with the train/the conductor in a way that is not through the network feedback post.

As we are a much larger game I would ask that you use this post as much as you can- I am liable to lose or forget about things shown to me on plurk or discord, whereas this post and an email notification means that I will definitely see it!

Monthly Plotting

Feel free to use this post to plot any thing you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!

Character: Ifrit
About them: Arknights is a post-apocalyptic futuristic game following a pharmaceutical company with a paramilitary division fighting terrorists while trying to combat systematic oppression of the Infected, people whose cells are being replaced with a magic rock called Originium.
Ifrit's a demon-like girl with extremely advanced Oripathy, giving her control over fire but her control's not that great. She's egotistical, simple-minded, and quick to anger, but is trying to learn to be a better person.
Plans: Basically adjusting to new circumstances. I've got a couple prompts for early game planned;
-Telling roommates about Oripathy and esp. that it's transmissible (it's not in RPland, but she doesn't know that)
-Trying to find painkillers that work for her chronic nerve pain (from the Infection)
-Setting off fire alarms and/or starting small fires on accident
-WHY DOESN'T ANYBODY HERE HAVE ANIMAL TRAITS??? (regular humans don't exist in her canon)
CR wanted: Found fambly is Ifrit's bread and butter. Beyond that, friends or rivals are good. She'll probably need at least one good adult role model too. Any medical experts who'd want to weigh in on her Infection are also good.
Things to avoid: Ifrit is volatile and can be rude, but let's avoid somebody doing a full dressing down on her. She's basically a kid and won't take it well, and it wouldn't be very fun to play out either.

Did somebody say starting fires? Sven's normally the guy setting things alight, but he can help smother some accidental blazes. Perhaps he can offer some advice about controlling her power, since he wasn't the greatest with his own when his patron first bestowed them upon him. He's patient and forgiving with other people, so Ifrit's volatile behaviour will just roll right off him.

He's more than welcome to try, but Ifrit's fire powers might be a tad different than Sven's, since hers come from the magic cancer rocks infecting her body and her control can slip because of the chaotic evil voice in her head telling her to burn everything to the ground. But it does sound like a great way to bond, whether he succeeds or not.

Poor kid. He'll give it his best, at any rate-!! And he'll try and keep an eye out for her, being a child with runaway fire powers can't be an easy time.

I don't have a good adult role model, but how 'bout a bad adult role model? I'd love to continue shenanigans with Ifrit and Reno. I loved that tdm thread to bits.

Also! I have a humanoid with animal traits! How do you feel about arachnes? Garrett is one.
