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: Sven
About them: OC from the world of Dungeons & Dragons! Sven is a Warlock with fire magic, who was resurrected by his patron to protect humanity. He's an enthusiastic dude who cares a lot about people, so if you've a problem you need a hand with, he's your guy. Once he gets his bearings, anyway: he's one of this months' new passengers!

Plans: He's Red Team, so I guess he's going to be cooking your meals and overcooking the spirit out of all your food. Listen, food just isn't good if it's not lightly charred. Also probably exploring the train and trying to find a source of foliage he can burn in his morning prayers to his patron (whose presence he cannot feel here and it's wigging him out). Oh, and marvelling over the cinema because what is this MAGIC?

CR wanted: People to give him tours, people to get mad at him smoking out the hallways, fellow newbies wanting a supportive pep-talk even though he's just as out of his depth as the rest of you? Sparring buddies? NEW FRIENDS.

Things to avoid: Nothing of note, though I recommend taking a quick glance at Sven's permissions.

He's going to meet Sarai just because of the overcooked food...some things SHOULD be charred, yes, but not EVERYTHING!!

(Sorry she's a good chef, so she'd be like...dismayed...LOL)

But either she or my nephilim, Xander ([personal profile] emerald_mirror) can help him get things to burn. They're both garden car junkies.

I'm imagining Sarai going off Gordon Ramsay-style on this idiot-sandwich. "IT'S FUCKING RAW CHARCOAL!" Please for the love of all things holy teach this guy to cook...!

I can already see they meet because Drizzt investigates the smell of fire.

I'll be sure to throw 47 at him since he's Red Team! For intros, tours, and general explanations. 47 is good at new arrival stuff. Also, 47 will find things for him to burn so long as Sven agrees not to go picking random plants out of the boxes and the greenhouse. :| That might upset the hitman, please agree.

Sven will agree-!! He doesn't want to ruin anyone's hard work he just needs some spare branches n stuff he can turn to charcoal. You know, for his tryhard Warlock makeup...

lolol. 47 side-eyes. No, I kid. But yeah! He can help by giving Sven cut offs from plants that needed trimming, etc. Plus he can always intro Sven to Persephone! Who can just...make him a plant specifically for that purpose, heh.
