December Information and CR Meme!

[voidtreckermods]

 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 fulfil 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

When characters regroup on the train after the platform they will find a new carriage at the end of the train, beyond the luggage carriage.

Triage

This carriage is a double carriage. At the back of the car is a staircase, but at the front there's a lift connecting the two floors. Both floors have a corridor running down the left hand side.

The bottom floor is one large carriage, though there are curved curtain rails on the ceiling so that thick, grey curtains can be pulled around areas to cut them off. There are four medical beds that can be wheeled around or locked in place, and a handful of chairs. There are cupboards with medical equipment, primarily for first aid.

Upstairs there are two surgical bays. Though the equipment is basic, it is enough that wounds can be sewn and minor procedures undertaken. The ICP in this room has instructions for more complicated medical procedures but also carries warnings that advanced medical training is advised and surgery should only be carried out by senior medics.

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 there will be two mini events! One on the 12th December which will be a little more meta-plot orientated and one on 20th which will be seasonal festive fun!

There is also a player-ran train meeting going up on the 5th December. As a reminder we have a player plot calendar for any large train-wide things anyone wishes to organise!

The TDM will be posted on the 16th. Reserves will open on the 19th. Apps are between the 22nd and 29th. AC will run from the 23rd to the 30th of December.

Other Info

~ The mod team would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Ree (Player of Tidus) for her tremendous help during the boss battle! Team two have her to thank for that epic fight.

~ Talking of that fight and the mission: if any characters died please report their deaths here.

~ We have compiled the story so far for those interested in the slowly unfolding meta-plot!

~ AC this month will be check-in only. As long as you check in on the AC post when it goes up you will pass AC and get the 5 points for doing so. There will still be the opportunity to claim bonus challenge AC. If you are holding a strike from November you will have the option to either clear it in December or take the free check in and carry your strike over into January.

YESSSSSSSSS

Yes to all!

[namethattune]

Probably not, but other things might come up in conversation. :Db

"Help, too many feelings" is somehow the name of this friendship. I have no idea how we got there, but I love it.

[subcircuits]

He's an OC so I'd be surprised if you did. But he's a sci-fi cyborg OC! He likes technology. [fingerguns]

[longforgottenpromise]

I will go tag you on the platform! For cute times

Re: Katy's Characters

[longforgottenpromise]

It could! Taiki will probably have complicated feelings about it and he's pretty wary of Nita but all that can make a good thread!

[longforgottenpromise]

Yee!

[longforgottenpromise]

Hope friends good

[hotheadwarmheart]

Unless Nita can assist somehow, Lea can't do the fancy telepathy variety of talking to the train, but he has written it several more 'pen pal' letters since his first one. He would be glad to help more directly if he could.

[hotheadwarmheart]

For cuteness! \o/

[mynameisallen]

At least once he figures himself out he will get better for the most part... He will apologise probably later for being awkward.

Re: Yugi Mutou

[mynameisallen]

Yugi was eventually told to go back to the train, so probably why they didn't see each other during.

Yugi just wants to be useful in a tough situation without resorting to actual violence...Shielding people so they can focus on doing the violence just seems like a good idea.

Re: Rapunzel

[mynameisallen]

If they were lifelike faces it might be a little too much. Rapunzel's style maybe less so...

Re: Rapunzel

[mynameisallen]

That will be fine. Rapunzel is pretty much painting daily anyway since she finishes her chores really in the day.

So kills time with it.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita might be able to do an assist?

Or he can just talk to the train normally while Nita monitors. xD The train listens even when people aren't putting magic into it, at least!

[wisdominshadows]

Well the main thing she’s kept to herself is the Giant Convoluted Backstory that is TLOZ, not anything she’s seen on the train.

So unless anyone wants me to delve into the rabbit hole of Hyrulean theological theorising which made up the bulk of my misspent youth, what Zelda’s already said should be enough.

[kingcat]

That sounds fun! Grimmjow does try to stay out of trouble, but he's not very good at it.

[hotheadwarmheart]

OK, Lea in my head just went 'you do know that's a bit creepy, right?' re; the last point. XD So if we do go the latter route, expect Lea to suggest not spreading that particular fact around too much. X3

But an assist would also be cool too! And an interesting new experience for Lea.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Oh, she's not. XD

(But then, Nautilus did that sort of thing too - but then, all those Accidental Videos made it a little more obvious. /thinking)

[marriedanidiot]

heyoheyo! just got linked this. did you want me to change my tag to reflect that he is using it during the mission?

[stardustofdawn]

Your tag is fine! On the last mission, he is using the metal pole and there are bamboo growing on the planet. It most likely has gotten eaten by a panda.

[marriedanidiot]

Awesome thanks!

Re: Questions?

[iamnotgod]

Will the threads from the Train Meeting (like the Comms or Boss Fight threads on missions, I suppose) count for the 15+ comments requirement for Bonus AC?

[salutosinedelectat]

The Inspectors are those creatures that popped into the train before he got here, right?

He'd like to learn about them, yes

[unfavorableinstigation]

Webmind brings it up here at the meeting - though he's leaving the book there through to the end of the whole deal so there can be post-talk prompts later where people discuss it, if you like?

[salutosinedelectat]

Hmm I'm not sure if Aziraphale would go to an event like that, but he'd definitely be curious about the book. Would it be something Aziraphale could find later, take the time to read, and then maybe bump into webmind and chat about it?
