November Information and CR Meme!

 We hope everyone had a fun month! Some information for your ongoing journey.

IC Month

This month is the month of Imagination. Days can be found here.

The thought of the month is  "We are made to persist. That's how we find out who we are."

This means: Any thread that reaches 15 comments (total) will earn you two points.

Threads that fulfill this criteria can be submitted during December AC. You may find it easier to keep a tracking list of threads for easy compiling of bonus AC!

Recipes are here. The ingredient of the month is Honey. 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:

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

The Train.

Coach M: Spa

This coach is a single coach. There is a corridor running on the left hand side with a door at either end of the carriage to lead into the spa itself. The main feature is a large, square, heated pool in three split tiers in the centre of the carriage. The pool can probably fit five strangers comfortably, or more at an awkward or familiar squeeze. The décor is pastel tiles and rich, pale wood, with long mirrors and sunlamps spaced along the walkways beside the pool.

At the back of the carriage there are two massage tables and a shelving unit with fluffy towels and various scented oils and lotions. On the other side of the pool - the front of the carriage - there are a row of ergonomic loungers, as well as a closed-off booth. This booth has a sliding train door and, inside, passengers will find a simple sauna large enough to fit a couple of people in at a time. 

The ICP in this carriage can be programmed to play relaxing music or nature sounds like running water or birdsong. There is also a teaching course on massage techniques that consists of three hour-long lessons split into basic, intermediate, and advanced. There are team-coloured bathing suits and trunks in a small closet next to the entrances to the carriage.

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 be a world event on the 13th of November. (An info and plotting post will go up on the 8th)

The TDM will be posted on the 15th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 21st and the 29th. AC will run from the 22nd to the 30th of November.

Other Info

We just wanted to say a few words about the Bonus AC challenges available every other month. For those who might not know, these challenges are optional extras that can earn you extra Team Points for your character. The challenges are intended to encourage and reward the ‘niceties’ of roleplay: tagging out, gathering new CR, finishing threads etc.

However this month we were disappointed to see a small minority of players who we felt did not keep to the spirit of the challenge. A new CR bonus challenge is designed to make sure our new players are welcomed, as well as to encourage mixing and new relationships between existing characters. Therefore it was disheartening to see characters with multiple threads submitted that they had dropped after a couple of tags.

We very much understand that everyone is busy, the world is stressful and everyone has a lot on their plate. One or two threads that have to be dropped for any reason being submitted for such a challenge is fine. However if the majority of threads submitted are being dropped after a tag or two it feels disingenuous. 

Going forward we will be taking it up with any players who we feel are struggling with or abusing the system. We would like to thank the vast majority of you who kept to the spirit of the challenge, and we really enjoyed reading up on all the new CR you got out of it!

Monthly Plotting

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

Why do shop requests get deleted? Thorne.tcai had a random outfit, but the thread with it is gone.

I linked the outfit in her cake thread with Hikaru--I mean, I linked the two pieces directly--so I can find it again if I need it, so you don't have to go out of your way to find it again. But yeah, it's probably a better idea to screen in the future.

Natsuno Yuuki/Koide

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2020-10-31 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Natsuno Yuuki/Koide

About them: Natsuno is from Shiki. He's a vampire, not by choice, and he's absolutely loathsome about it. He's sulky, and emo and 16 so it's about time really. He's quiet. He's unfailingly polite. He has excellent manners, he just tries not to get close to people.

Plans: Natsuno's best friend is leaving the train this month. He feels conflicted about that.

CR wanted: I'm open to any and all CR. He does not typically use his powers, outside of things he can't help, ie. seeing in the dark, hearing people's heartbeats. I'd like him to make more friends. He has successfully made (1) friend.

Things to avoid: For me, there are none. He isn't open about being a vampire, but I'm open to people knowing!
10billionpercent: (This Is So Exciting)

Senku Ishigami

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2020-10-31 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Senku Ishigami

About them: He is the protagonist of Dr. Stone. He took a slight 3700 year detour being petrified as a stone statue, while being conscious the entire time and he cannot stop talking about it. His interests are SCIENCE and that's about it. He's socially awkward, he doesn't like talking about his feelings or anyone else's for that matter, and he is a survivalist master.

Plans: Senku has a personal baking project to do with Roland and Inigo, he's got a conversation to have with Gen and Roland about the more in-depth aspects of his worlds, and he'll be spending much of this month in the kitchen it looks like! He's not on the cooking team but if the train won't let him science, he might as well cook.

CR wanted: Senku has got a good groove going, let's keep it up, he's more than happy to chat with people he's so bored on the train. He loves it when people owe him favours.

Things to avoid: He would like people not to emote at him. I, however, love it. Go for it.

Yoite

[personal profile] comefadeaway 2020-10-31 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
Character: Yoite

About them: Yoite is a ninja from Nabari no Ou. His entire life has been miserable, since the day he was born. He doesn't really know who or what he is, he's been living for the sake of his friend. He has a power that allows him to use his qi for destruction or healing. This power has destroyed his body rather thoroughly. Most notably, most of the time, Yoite is very nearly completely deaf. He needs people to be facing him because he's reading lips to fill in the gaps. Occasionally he's also completely blind. He's rather sickly.

Plans: Yoite is brand new, I've got nothing, give it all to me.

CR wanted: Yoite needs friends. He wants people to see him and acknowledge his existence.

Things to avoid: Yoite will not be comfortable speaking about himself with people he doesn't know. They can try, but might find it to be like talking to a brick wall.

Senku and Eva need to sit down and compare survivalist notes.

Take a walk with him on the mission and see for yourself Eva, he can't leave anything alone, it's great.

Koumyou Sanzo | Saiyuki

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2020-10-31 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Aro
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] aroihkin, Aroihkin#4667

Character: Koumyou Sanzo
About them: From Saiyuki, a Buddhist high priest whose last memory on his world is his own death to save his adopted son's life. He's a total troll, and loves to act the fool. "I can't tell if you're a genius or a moron" is something that's been said to him more than a few times in canon. You can get more info about him over here.
Plans: He's brand new! He hates being cold and will probably spend a lot of time in that new spa car being warm. He'll also be going out on the mission when that comes up, acting for all the world like he has no idea that anything's even remotely dangerous. (It's okay, he's actually pretty heinous. This is just more of him trolling people and acting like an idiot for the lulz.)
CR wanted: All of it! He's new, and I'm new to the game.
Things to avoid: I can't think of anything!
its_dad_sanzo: (a peaceful mind)

Re: Yoite

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2020-10-31 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
Koumyou gonna acknowledge the shit out of your existence, Yoite.

Just as soon as you let him hold your fucked-up hand again.

(Edit: To clarify I'm offering A FRIEND in the shape of a buddhist priest because that's what everyone needs who questions their purpose and existence. Obvs.)

Koumyou wants to observe some of the SCIENCE Senku gets up to. Especially the dangerous stuff.

He may even help! Maybe.

Re: Natsuno Yuuki/Koide

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2020-10-31 10:52 am (UTC)(link)
Koumyou could figure out his secret if you're down; he's stupidly observant. It would still take him a while, because they don't have (real) vampires/undead on his copy of Earth, but he'd get there eventually I think.

Also he has a soft spot for sulky teenagers because of his own sulky teenager son back home.

please read "& wormmon" like it's the last two words of the steven universe theme

[personal profile] ramengroupie 2020-10-31 11:06 am (UTC)(link)
Name: Mari
Contact info: [plurk.com profile] ghoulfriend

Character: Ken Ichijouji (& Wormmon)
About them: Eight years ago Ken was an evil genius! But he was also an immature kid, so he's done a lot of growing since then. Thoughtful, kind, and studying psych.
Wormmon is a giant talking larva who rides around on Ken's head and adores him with abandon. Also a fan of how people keep feeding him here.
Plans: Ken will be regaining his Digivice, which lets Wormmon change from being a small useless bug to being a large badass battle bug. So that will probably happen on the mission. They'll check out the spa, but be warned: anyone who approaches them and shows curiosity may be subjected to teal deer about Japanese hot springs.
He also will probably play soccer. He is very good at soccer. Wormmon is an Obnoxious Fan.
CR wanted: Anything really! Meeting more Team Orange folks is always welcome, though, since Ken is feeling out the whole "how to join a group" thing and he hasn't had to do that in a while (soccer teams aside).
Things to avoid: Please don't kill him. Or Wormmon. Killing Wormmon breaks the hearts of tweenagers circa the early 2000s.
10billionpercent: (Just Trust Me)

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2020-10-31 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Lately his SCIENCE has involved a lot of foodstuff, haha. Which is unfortunately not that dangerous.

Mission time though, he might go a little more wild.
comefadeaway: (Default)

[personal profile] comefadeaway 2020-10-31 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, don't worry, I understood.

He's not so sure about that. Maybe when he gets some gloves. That's a priority for him.
its_dad_sanzo: (interview)

[personal profile] its_dad_sanzo 2020-10-31 11:19 am (UTC)(link)
Well if he does try to BREAK THE TRAIN and there's any way for Koumyou to wander in on it, he'd definitely take an interest.
reluctantjinrou: (Mournful Glance)

[personal profile] reluctantjinrou 2020-10-31 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
He thinks he has good reason to sulk. What was his excuse before he became undead?

Their CR is bound to be a disaster in waiting and I am here for it.
10billionpercent: (Sinister Smile)

[personal profile] 10billionpercent 2020-10-31 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, if he figures that out, he'll definitely expect company.

/THROWS A WORM AT THE SAD BOY

this helps, yes
dreamtamer: (a boy and his)

Takato Matsuda

[personal profile] dreamtamer 2020-10-31 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Character: Takato Matsuda
About them:
A very good boy who really likes art and Digimon. He is very happy to be on one more adventure with his partner, although he feels a little guilty that he wasn't able to tell his parents that he was going to another dimension (again). Constantly accompanied by a red dinosaur/dragon who likes eating bread and making friends.

Plans:
This will be his first mission with his D-Arc, so watch out for big red dinosaurs and/or a white knight showing up. (I don't think he's really talked to many people about how a Tamer fights, so this should be fun). Apart from that, planning an open log for making bread with friends. And just put in a request to buy back his cards and goggles from the shop.
CR wanted: All kinds! Takato (and Guilmon) get along with pretty much anyone. Would love negative CR, but thats going to be hard to get. They would love to make more friends with kids, and to find more big brother/big sister type CR as well. Also give me all your AI character CR.
