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!

Piccolo | DBZ

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-05-31 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Piccolo
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.

I'd really love to keep expanding on Tidus and Piccolo's CR? He'd feel indebted to him for the sword, even if Piccolo's just like w/e about it.

And Tidus getting to learn under him too for that sweet energy training and becoming faster would be rad. :(
shutupnail: (ki blast.)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-05-31 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Awwww, precious goober. Piccolo will keep reminding him it's fine, no big deal, etc.

That'd be great. Do them blitzball moves in the air! Kick those energy blasts at enemies!!
blitzcheer: (what the f is this)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-05-31 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
He's going to find something one day!!!

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?
shutupnail: (Default)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-05-31 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
lol. That's fine. Piccolo has a lot of conversations here in VT... he's getting used to it. c: He will talk with Tidus if that's what the blond wants. Teaching... he's more strict about. No whining, Tidus, or he will quit you.
blitzcheer: (blah blah bluh wuh weh)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-05-31 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
what if a little whining but then stubbornly refusing to give in.

he may or may not be low key angry at gods and have that in mind to put up with whatever as long as it's an assured thing that he can learn, as long as he gets sweating.
shutupnail: (DODGE!!!)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-05-31 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
He'll quit until Tidus stops whining. Like, walk off and leave. Meditate and ignore. Etc, etc.

That Picc can guarantee will happen. If they end up talking about gods.... well, Picc has plenty of stories about those, too, but they're not as angry.
blitzcheer: (oh no serious stuff!!)

[personal profile] blitzcheer 2020-05-31 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
this is giving off some strong Auron vibes for him. Tidus can take it!!

he might mention it! or ask about gods because he's not that familiar with them. except he learned about dissidia and yuna and jecht getting stuck in repeating cycles of fighting and dying so he's been peeved about that.

and he doesn't really know if that's in his future or past but just that maybe he wants to be ready to punch a god in the face one day.
shutupnail: (punch.)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-05-31 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That is not an inaccurate comparison. Def birds of a feather.

Yeah, that would suck and Picc would agree that's stupid. His gods are a lot more friendly. Even the scary one that's all about Destruction can sometimes manage to not be a dick. So. yeah.

Good goal tbh.

Energy manipulation, huh? Glorfindel might be into that. He's got a lot of it, would like to use it as something other than an area effect.
shutupnail: (side smirk.)

[personal profile] shutupnail 2020-06-01 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeep. That makes me wonder what an elf feels like to a DBZ character. :|a Probably veeery interesting. So much spiritual energy. Piccolo can teach him his fighting style and Glor can learn what you want him to. c:
