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!

Name: Quinn
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] quinn2win

Character: Ivy Wakefield
About them: OC! A ghost who was murdered by her dad and then spent 200 years stuck in a cave. Very friendly and cheerful, floating uneasily on a deep sea of trauma and anger.
Plans: Ivy has never seen a movie so she's gonna try to see EVERY movie. At least until it turns out that not all movies are good. Also, she might declare a day this month to be her 15th birthday, 200 years late.
CR wanted: People who would interact interestingly with ghosts! More kids! more parental figures to replace her awful actual parent!
Things to avoid: Shrug

Gladio will freak out be very unsure of himself around a ghost!!

Duo would be interested as heck!

... My dumb cat probably wouldn't notice. Or notice and not care. Unless Ivy had snacks.
yep_stilldead: (All according to plan)

[personal profile] yep_stilldead 2020-04-30 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
She definitely doesn't have snacks, since she hasn't been able to eat anything in centuries. For Gladio, she's pretty easy to mistake for being alive, but more transparent and insubstantial and generally ghostly by day.

... Not being able to eat? Oh man, that sucks!
yep_stilldead: (Oh you are SO cursed)

[personal profile] yep_stilldead 2020-04-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
IT DOES. She's actually very bitter about it. Can't even remember what food tastes like.

Guess who else has never seen a movie! The closest DND has to movies is live theatre productions, so Sven's going to be checking out a few and wondering over how in heck these things work/are made. Maybe they can run into each other and get talking in the middle of the middle of the movie theatre because neither of them knows proper movie-going etiquette.

Sounds great! Moviegoers unite.

Aw yea! He'll probably try and amuse her by popping unpopped popcorn kernels in his hands.

Webmind would happily help Ivy bingewatch All Of The Cinema. Perhaps they'll end up being practical connoisseurs or just make their own RiffTracks, as it were?

And, could we make that be a toplevel on tomorrow's post, or should it get its own catch-all post?
yep_stilldead: (wait but like)

I think "Ivy picks movies at random and puts them on while having zero movie experience" has enough momentum to be its own post.

Then a post there shall be! \o/

It will cover many days, and shall be much joyous.
