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.
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.

Contact info: PMs to journals, AisuYoukai @ plurk.
Doing that thing were you see below.
Reno | FFVII
About them: FFVII, post-AC. One of four Turks still active and loyal to Shinra, Rufus specifically. He's on Purple Team and rooming in 6-E.
Plans: Other than reconnecting to his fellow Turk Elena when she shows up, Reno just got some items from the shop so he's gonna be happy for a bit. Items include his goggles, jewelry, one materia, and a bunch of snacks. Plans include dealing with Elena, then testing out his new materia. He will be surprised and so disappointed to find out it's not Bahamut or something else cool, and is in fact Carbuncle. Who wants to meet the cute little fae puppy?
CR wanted: Anything. This guy is good for positive and negative CR. His flippant nature is kinda easy to run both ways.
Things to avoid: Got nothing.

Re: Reno | FFVII
Do not drink with Glorfindel. You will not like the results. Or do! :D Hm, Glorfindel might need to get some Elven spirits...
no subject
If you have booze, Reno is ten times as likely to want to hang out. Just saying.
It's how his roommate is luring him into tentative friendship, haha.Piccolo | DBZ
About them: Dragon Ball, post Super anime. Big green alien with super strength, speed, regenerative ability, and martial arts techniques. Can fly and shoot lasers. Blue Team, room 4E. Wears his purple gi (canon clothing) but his team can be noted by his SCA being blue.
Plans: Nothing really for this guy. His usual is meditating and sparring and training. Is willing to teach others. One day someone will learn to throw ki blasts around and fly.
CR wanted: Anything. Always looking for more bitties for him to not so openly adopt and protect, more sparring partners, etc.
Things to avoid: Got nothing.
no subject
And Tidus getting to learn under him too for that sweet energy training and becoming faster would be rad. :(
no subject
That'd be great. Do them blitzball moves in the air! Kick those energy blasts at enemies!!
no subject
I'm thinking about setting up a log next month so I can have a starter for you with Tidus approaching Piccolo, asking about his own moves and what he does (maybe he just wants to chat with him once in a while, hush), and maybe something can come out of that?

Garrett | Thief
About them: Thief (2014), post game. He's a CRAU from Ryslig so he's an arachne monster and comes with a CW of spider/scorpion descriptions in his entries. I lessen them on first tag-outs and ask permission first if I can remember, please bear with me. Technically on Orange Team, he prefers Black Team, and wears all black. In Sleeper 3, Cabin E.
Plans: Nothing in the works with him. Yet. One day... one...day.... Ahem.
CR wanted: Anything. Garrett is a bit antisocial so people bothering him is great.
Things to avoid: Got nothing.
Re: Garrett | Thief

Anyway yeah! He can be found with the other Spider most of the time. In complete silence because neither talk that much. lol. He will explain the thing and buddy up with a devil. Actually... Crowley might remind Garrett a little of Greed now that I think about it.......

47 | Hitman
About them: Hitman, post The Last Resort mission. He's a deadly assassin. He gets along great with just about everyone on the train. Don't ask how, it works, trust me. He's on Red Team naturally, and rooms in 1-A with his
stormyfound family whether he likes it or not.Plans: Not much. His usual is chores, training/exercising, and gardening. He has begun announcing "Fight Club" as an option for new people to join in training and learning new survival methods. He will never call it fight club, that's just me. Anyway, another announcement will be made a few days after new arrivals.
CR wanted: Anything. He's surprisingly easy to adjust to just about anything and it amuses me. Come at us.
Things to avoid: Got nothing.
