June 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 through the month of Fiddlesticks the train will stop to pick up new passengers. When everyone rejoins the train they will find a new gym!

This carriage is very similar to carriage C. A long narrow space walled off from the corridor. The cupboard however is not filled with balls. Instead it has mats, soft hand held pads for training with, training dummies and even some balancing beams. It also has large blocks that look a little like what you might find in a children's play centre but can be used to make obstacle courses or provide cover in training exercises. There are two climbing apparatus next to the wall that can be swung out to create a climbing frame.

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 an on train event From the 12th to the 13th June. A plotting post will go up on 10th June.

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

Other Info

~ We now have a character initiative page. This is for any character or player driven things, such as new organisations, new IC publications and other services that are player/character driven.

~ We now have two types of network.

The ICPs are on the train, there is one in every carriage and one in each cabin. Characters can communicate with voice or video to either the whole train or to one carriage. There is no back catalogue of posts and no text option (there is one in the works and only those characters who can interface with the ICPs have access so far- their text posts can be seen by all but only replied to in video or voice). At its heart it is a slightly fancy tannoy system. [community profile] voidtreckernet is the place for network posts on the train.

The SCAs on missions now have voice communications enabled. These are active from when the voidtreckers first get their mission briefs to when they return to the void at the end of the mission. They can speak to all, to team or to individual. Please see here for more information. Those with phones or other devices that can connect can assume that they have linked up by next mission. Even with these devices they can only access this feature on missions. Each mission will have a comms post for interactions over the SCAs.

Both of these are big open communication systems and it is fair to say conversations are not very private. Some such as the 'speak to all' on the SCA should be a free for all radio style format. But for conversation between two people on the ICP (even if it can be heard by all) please check oocly with participants before threadjacking.

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: Taiki
About them: 12 Kingdoms. Taiki is a benevolent, kind kirin (Chinese unicorn) and a wary, distrusting teenager mixed up in a ball of sads. He has no self confidence and yet a terrifying level of will power. He cannot fight unless ordered to by his king and is physically ill if around bloodshed. He's on red team because of course he is and is in room 4:D.
Plans: I don't really have any for him except to continue the cr he has and make more. He is vegan so will be making non bacon based meals this month- if any others do not eat meat he will happily cook for them too as red is on cooking chores!
CR wanted: All sorts! Taiki is very quiet and can be timid. His main defence mechanism is to make himself as uninteresting and unengaging as possible- which you can imagine is a massive pain to pull of in roleplay... But people who can get past his walls are always welcome. As are people with animals, people who are animals and anyone else who likes animals. He has a jerboa, it's cute.
Things to avoid: Nothing to avoid but if your character has a reason to smell strongly of blood please let me know (hit up permissions if it is a permament thing or just let me know if it is a thing in a thread!)
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking directly at the viewer, mouth slightly open, as if she's in the middle of an important or unamused expression. (Focused)

... Nita and Taiki could discover some of the non-meat 'bacon'? At least I THINK we have that as an option now.

New horizons for both of them!

I am not sure what he would think of non meat bacon. But it could be an interesting thread idea.

YOOO Tidus will have something he wants to talk to Taiki about so a thread with them sometime, y/n? He'd also been generally interested in speaking with Taiki, getting to know him if the guy doesn't actively rebuff him. Being quiet/simple-answered doesn't bother him since he's used to it in different ways.

I love their CR so am always up for more! We can thread on the intro maybe? Or just set up something!

I may make a catch-all/open log with closed starters next month so I'll make us one there and link you when it's up! Since train day would be rather busy. o7

Noting here that I think for the same reason Youko reeks of blood when she runs into Enki in her prologue, A-Qing will smell of blood for her proximity to bloodshed/violence/imminent death in her canonpoint. On the other hand, I also think it would fade very quickly.

Also hoards your CR etc.

Poor bab. Noted though. Also yes give me more cr, I don't have enough elle-cr

Prompto wants to be his friend and play with his jerboa. He loves animals and can be kind of pushy about making friends, so it'll be a good fit if we can get a thread going.

Yes this should happen! People who are pushy at making friends might make him nervous, but it will be good for him and cute animal things can happen!
