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!

Name: Terra
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] terraminuit or Terra#1638 on Discord

Character: Persephone
About them: Lore Olympus is that good good modern take on classic myth thing so it includes Fatesbook and butt dials. Perse is a pink goddess, all flowery and happy but with those thorns underneath. Not yet Queen. Not yet a lot of stuff to her constant dismay. Unaware of her future. Got a bit of a dark past hiding but it's off limits.

Really, she's just trying to get by and make something of herself, AREN'T WE ALL?
Plans: None beyond getting her ears pierced and maybe trying to find some academic books in this whole place so she can continue her studies. Doesn't exactly consider the greenhouse her domain but definitely spends her time sprucing it up and keeping the plants flowering and growing.
CR wanted: Any and all?
Things to avoid: As always, I'm fine with her being known and found out as a goddess, especially based on name and power, but pls don't refer to her myth by that one name. You know the one.

All day every day. To the extent of creating her own flower crowns.

She's happy to talk plants, obvs, just might be put out at the yelling at them

pls consider making crowley a flower crown.

i have always played him doing that sort of thing when he thinks no one's looking. Soooo she may walk in on it eventually but he wouldn't blatantly do it in front of her.

Very fair! Private scolding of plants is an acceptable stress relief.

Flower crowns are the very fond of. Or you know, just to make someone sputter. Somehow i feel like he's on the sputtering end

look im just sayin, light is a canon valkyrie for at least two goddesses. SO HIT HER UP IF YOU NEED SOMEONE SMOTE.

[personal profile] springforth 2020-05-31 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
She appreciates the smiting offers. It's already good to know you have a willing valkyrie on hand if shitty exes show up
enthunder: (as everyone believes)

[personal profile] enthunder 2020-05-31 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
She's slain plenty of gods, if Apollo shows up she'll just have to add to the list.

also Perse is invited to Girl's Night which is so far mostly shaping up to be 'hanging out in lace hammocks in dressing and talking about fashion and violence'.

[personal profile] springforth 2020-06-01 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Yesss a delightful party!! She would be happy to hang out in hammocks!

(I'm well aware that the likelihood of anyone apping him is slim to none, he's pretty awful in canon, but it's delightful to know she's got backup)

Perse and Aziraphale should meet 👀

Also, if she does find the demon yelling at plants, Aziraphale doesn't know him/apologizes for his "friend"

Yesss! Persephone has trouble sleeping at the best of times so she'll be up and about at weird hours. Possible midnight baking or reading. And she'll certainly sympathize with his dismay at the size of their library.

Your secret is safe with her ;D

Baking 👏👏👏 while not right away, I plan to have him learning to bake eventually, so maybe we could work something out there

Canon blind, but I feel like I should get Danny to meet her sometime, especially because its confirmed that at least some of Greek and Roman myth exist as ghosts in his world (he met Pandora this one time), and because hes also vaguely suspicious of plants, because of this plant ghost he fought once.

And it would help if I used the right journal.

Pft it happens to us all

Perse would be flabbergasted at him being suspicious of plants. They're just...plants. They're not secretly plotting his demise. I'm also sorry if Persephone thinks he's a shade that escaped from the underworld bc she doesn't have the frame of reference to know what a ghost is. Mortals and their weird things like death

This sounds like a great interaction that needs to happen.

Just wait until you've nearly been eaten by a ghost plant, while your entire city has been brainwashed into being plant caretakers by mindvines. It isn't fun.

Misa would like us to try growing a Bothan peach tree, if we could. You game?

Does Persephone like sweets? Glorfindel would definitely have a plate of cookies or pastries with him in the Greenhouse. :)

[personal profile] springforth 2020-06-01 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
As long as they have an actual Bothan peach for her to grow from, yes!

Also she likes sweets! Not an enormous sweet tooth but she's been known to demolish a pint of ice cream from time to time. Cookies would be lovely!
