October 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 Horseshoe. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is "Friendship is the comfort of knowing that even if you feel alone, you aren’t."

This means: Any thread where you are meeting new CR earns you two team points! The thread must be with someone you have not written with before in game but assumed CR is alright (e.g if they are your roommate, or a castmate).

Threads that fulfil this criteria can be submitted during October 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 teddy bear luncheon meat (both ham and beef types). All the ingredients can be found in the storeroom and characters are welcome to make other food with them.

This month's chore assignments are:

Orange: Cleaning bedrooms and passenger areas
Blue: Meal Preparation
Purple: Laundry
Red: Cleaning kitchen and bathrooms

The Train.

As the month moves through the month of Horseshoe the train will stop to pick up new passengers.

When they return to the train they will notice some changes.

Coach L: Armoury

This room is a single carriage, there is a corridor running down the left hand side with three doors leading into the carriage itself.

Around the outer walls and making a solid back to back wall down what would usually be the centre aisle are tall lockers in all four team colours. They have a shelf at the top that can be folded down.

Each locker is open initially and to claim a locker passengers need only insert their ticket into a slot in the door, this registers the locker as theirs as their ticket will be needed to open and use that locker. There is an information plaque on the wall near each entrance explaining this. Each passenger can claim one locker.

This has been updated on the setting. Remember to let me know if your character does anything to alter the setting!
The shop has been updated! It can be found here!

Important Dates

This month's event will run over the 9th and 10th October. A plotting post will go up on the 7th October

Reserves will open 19th October with a TDM going up on the 17th October. Apps are between 22nd October and 29th October. AC will run 23rd October to 30th October.

Other Info

The passenger roster has been updated with point counts for the month.

We have a spreadsheet to help with linking character names to names on rosters, as there are quite a few characters for whom this differs. This has been linked both on the Passenger Roster page and on the Sleeper Cabin page for ease of keeping track of who is who!

I’d also like to thank Perky for the awesome illustrations that can be found on our setting page!

A reminder that if anyone is doing anything crazy that they think may have consequences please let us know on the character shenanigans page!

Monthly Plotting

Feel free to use this post to plot anything you want for the next month! Here’s a structure you can use!

Name: Tea
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] bookwormfaith

Character: Nerdanel
About them: JRRT's The Silmarillion, she is the wife of Feanor and the mother of seven boys, of whom one is currently on the train - Curufin. She is a sculptor of such skill that it was said folk confused her statues for real people at times, although she does abstract art as well. She is farsighted and was called 'the Wise', and it was said that unlike her more impetous husband, she bent her skill to learn about people not to learn to control them, but to understand them better.
Plans: She's going to be VERY miserable as Feanor has dropped as of this round. Elven marriages involve soul bonds, so she is going to be in danger of Fading (dying, with some fun loosing hold of one's physical body and turning ghostly on the side) without support. Expect her to be very quiet for a while.
CR wanted: Nerdanel is the resident Train Mom, and people to fuss over/adopt are always welcome, or just someone to sit with her and distract her from her grief
Things to avoid: n/a

Webmind is not as experienced with hugs, but I can send him Nerdanel's way for hug times!

She is also free to tag Nita's toplevel in turn, for both more hugs and commiseration over losses.
