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: Zoki
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] kharamagic/ zokiblu#5949, usually found in game chat!

Character: Seto Kaiba
About them: From Yu-Gi-Oh, a cold and calculating CEO who is also now a council representative and train advocate? Somehow? He plays games to win and can snark when he sees stupidity, but there's a gooey center in there somewhere. Deep down.
Plans: He volunteered himself to help organize social events for the train. brb delegating to Yugi. He has a few apologies to make. Other than that, nothing specific.
CR wanted: More friends. People to call him on his nonsense. Please.
Things to avoid: Nothing really


Character: Mami Tomoe
About them: From Puella Magi Madoka Magica. An accomplished cook and all around sweet young teenager on the surface, also a magical girl who defends her friends with the big guns when needed.
Plans: Training. She needs to become less useless without her magic and feels guilt about that. Maybe learning to put herself out there more and start to make friends.
CR wanted: Team with the new magical girls? Friends?
Things to avoid: All clear!

Lightning

[personal profile] enthunder 2020-05-31 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Lightning
About them: Long-suffering magical ex-cop who's now on her third unwilling heroic crusade. Didn't arrive with weapons, just wants her gunblade back. Give Lightning A Gun 2k19 2k20. Big Sister extraordinaire. Still one of the designated white mages of the train, to her dismay. Cabin 1-A, Red team.
Plans: A general fixture around the train, herding Red team and/or people in general while taking time out to chill with her friends. She'll patrol the train and run some antigravity training or general combat.
CR wanted: More of the same, friends and rivals and people to look after and look after her in turn.
Things to avoid: n/a

Kumoko/the spider

[personal profile] kumoko 2020-05-31 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Nameless Spider (Charlotte to Marvels, Ede to Eva and Cu i think, Arma to elves, Kumoko is gaining traction as a name also)
About them: My classroom was destroyed by dimensional magic and so I reincarnated as a monster in the most dangerous labyrinth in the world??? What's happening! What's happening! Sage-level magic user trapped in the body of a spider the height of a grown man. Cabin 1-D, Orange team.
Plans: Now she's managed to evolve into a zana horowa she's working on the final evolution - the half-human arachne. If anyone she likes (read: who has fed her) wants more clothing she'll consider it, she's branching out into soft furnishings.
CR wanted: She needs to be drawn back out of her hikki dressing car space. People who'll discuss magical theory with her or draw her out into being a helpful person again.
Things to avoid: n/a

Gyousou

[personal profile] eyeslikeblood 2020-05-31 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Gyousou Saku
About them: In a harsh, wintry kingdom, a general put himself forth for selection to be king along with thousands of other citizens, and was chosen. A coup, an entire horror novel and seven years under a mountain later, he arrives on the train from his own execution. An immortal warrior known for having the aura of a hungry tiger, he's tempered by the kirin accompanying him most places. 4-D, Red team.
Plans: Once the platform post is squared away he's going to make a post inviting people from kingdoms/monarchies/non-modern worlds to meet and discuss any issues with him, because he's interested in how their experience differs from what people keep calling normal. Probably next weekend.
CR wanted: He needs combat partners, allies, friends and peers. People to guide or advise, people to just be himself with.
Things to avoid: n/a

BRYN PENDRAGON

[personal profile] draconite 2020-05-31 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Name: Claire, she/her
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] superorbital

Character: Bryn Pendragon, Team Orange
About them: Infopost with backstory, impressions and all sorts of other stuff. If you have a character with spiritual or magical sensing powers, please check it out! Bryn's a traveling warrior with as many braincells as she has functioning eyes (which is to say, one). She was raised by a dragon as part of his horde until a prince whose name and face she's yet to find out went and slayed him. After taking on the powers of her Dead Dragon Dad, Bryn has set out on a Revenge Road Trip across the continent of Seidrfold, a Fantasy Kitchen Sink setting full of all sorts of neat European mythological nonsense. Despite how edgy that description makes her sound, she's actually a cheerful, high-energy sheltered weirdo who cannot be trusted with her own braincell and is having SO MUCH FUN out here on her wild adventure.
Plans: Bryn's sort of doing whatever takes her fancy at the moment! She's keeping an eye on the Fight Club crew with plans to join in once she's sure she won't punch anyone's head clean off and she's also got plans to help Gladio out with their little theater performance, once she's happy with the music she's bullying Dyme into composing for it. Aside from that, she's not up to much!
CR wanted: Bryn's gotten vaguely friendly with a few folks on the train but I'd like her to get some real, solid friendships going and start getting closer to folks. Aside from that, I'm open to anything folks might be feelin!
Things to avoid: Nothing I can think of.

A-Qing

[personal profile] spikelet 2020-05-31 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: A-Qing
About them: A young (15ish idk) beggar maiden! Pretends to be blind, fools everyone, kind of a brat, knows more swear words than you, 4'6 and underfed, traumatised also! 1-E, Blue team.
Plans: She's gonna discover the magical world of movies and get addicted. Learning to trust and enjoy herself again. Overcoming grief...ha... Someone please teach her to defend herself! Showers, clean clothes, three square meals a day. A note - it is very likely that she is going to be hunted and murdered by another character from her canon in her first week. We will warn for it.
CR wanted: Cute friends around her age! Found family! ONE ENEMY stares hard @ Tohma
Things to avoid: See her permissions.

Name: S.M.F./Ace!
Contact info: Autistic_Ace on plurk; Autistic_Ace#5045 on Discord

Character: Nita Callahan
About them: Loveable bookworm who can blow up nuclear weapons if her friends are threatened! She's in Team Orange and in room 4:B.
Plans: Sven-mun (Locke) and I have something special planned for platform - outside of that, learning more about the train and investigating her books are in the works!
CR wanted: Anything goes here! And her permissions post is here for the curious.
Things to avoid: ...? Nothing I can think of.

Character: Webmind
About them: Internet achieves sentience thanks to teenage girl, who is a (formerly-ish) blind teenage math genius. Internet goes on to be a decent individual who topples authoritarian governments! Also on Orange Team in room 1:D.
Plans: He's still trying to get textchat set up for everyone on the train (he has already achieved peramtext), but outside of that he's largely free for shenanigans!
CR wanted: ???? More not-quite-AI buddies? More friends in general, definitely. Someone to question him about his life choices from home.
Things to avoid: Nothing I can think of, though pay attention to his Permissions post here, as there is very high potential for him to fourth-wall someone. >.> Default assumption is 'no', of course, especially for OCs, but if you want to play with that specifically, let me know!

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-05-31 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
... Spider can has magic theory discussion? Spider CAN has magic theory discussion!

(Almost wrote music theory. :'D)

And if Kumoko asks Nita for more points, she might pester the spider in turn to do chores as well. That can be a thing.

Re: Lightning

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-05-31 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Antigravity training, you say?

Nita will advise people with long hair to ALWAYS bring a scrunchie. XD Well, she'll be more helpful/interested than just that, but still, scrunchies are Vital.

longforgottenpromise: (Default)

[personal profile] longforgottenpromise 2020-05-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
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!)

Gladiolus Amicitia

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Gladio
About them: From Final Fantasy XV. Kings Shield. Team Blue. A fighter, a good guy, built like a brick shit house! Generally walks around topless! Usually found in the gym or the greenhouse chilling with a good book.
Plans: Nothing specific, things with his boyfriends (he has two, the greedy bastard!)... There will be cooking and leaning to cook. And perhaps some VERY STRANGE THINGS will be made and offered around for people to taste for them~
CR wanted: Friends would be lovely! If you are a magic user, Gladio is gonna be fascinated by you. And if you're willing to show him what you can do or talk to him about it, he'll listen for HOURS!
Things to avoid: Look but don't touch!

Duo Maxwell

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Duo Maxwell
About them: From Gundam Wing. Team Purple. Cheerful guy, always smiling, seemingly always happy and will help out damn near anyone. REALLY wants a gun...
Plans: Not a damn thing. If anyone wants to plan anything with him I am very much open!
CR wanted: Honestly, anything. Friends... stuff. He likes being around people.
Things to avoid: Nothing I can currently think of!
unfavorableinstigation: Nita looking right, holding a book. (I'm In The Book)

[personal profile] unfavorableinstigation 2020-05-31 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)

Sleepy Ash (Maru)

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-31 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Sleepy Ash (Maru)
About them: Servamp. Team Orange, but he will always be on Blue Team. Maru is a vampire who spends most of his time as a cat. He has a switch. He plays games and loves snacks. His Eve (master) is Madoka and he'll generally be found around her asleep or on his switch. Sometimes he'll strike out on his own but not often. He is very lazy, very sleepy and looks bored with everything. That's what he gets for being the embodiment of Sloth!
Plans: I got nothing!
CR wanted: The fact he's made ANY friends at all is a genuine surprise to me. So he's more than happy to meet other people and make more friends, if people can look past the fact he doesn't seem interested in much of anything and is so low energy.
Things to avoid: Hurting Madoka. Otherwise nothing!

Yukito Tsukishiro/Yue

[personal profile] callmegladio 2020-05-31 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Yukito Tsukishiro and Yue
About them: Card Captor Sakura. Team Orange. Yukito is a sweet, lovely man who will do anything for anyone. He is perfectly normal in almost every day. He had NO magical ability and doesn't fight. A pure pacifist. ... And then there is Yue. Yue is the magical being who uses Yukito as his host. Yue DOES fight and CAN use magic and is rather cold and uncaring. He also looks like a beautiful angel with pure white wings.
Plans: He's going to be very down the first few weeks of his time on the train but he will try his best to smile and be happy. The loss of the love of his life is going to be a deep wound.
CR wanted: Friends. Maybe some of that found family stuff I keep hearing about?
Things to avoid: Pissing off Yue!

I really should have Webmind comment on the whole courtesan thing - mostly because, in a similar vibe to Trowa, I imagine him being rather supportive instead of disdainful/shocked.

What is it with humans and their taboos, anyway?
